CHAPTER SIX

God Christmas with other families is awkward. I swear to god, I was so happy when I got back to Eden Hall. Well that is until I had a run in with someone. See what happened was that I was walking down the hall and this girl had the nerve to smash into me, kicking my books. How middle school right? Well, anyway, I asked her to pick them up and she sneered, about to walk away, but I slammed her into the lockers. It wasn't until she started saying stuff that I got physical, stuff about how Julie's gay and so on and so fourth, putting it in simpler terms, I got pissed. So I punched her.

"You what?" Adam laughed and I shrugged.

"What would you have done, I mean honestly, the bitch was looking for trouble."

"I can't believe she called Julie a dyke, she's going out with Scooter!"

"Exactly, I told her that too and she said it was probably a lie so I slammed her head into the lockers."

"God," he muttered, "You really are violent."

"Nah dude, violent is what happened at my old school," I laughed, "See there was this guy and-," but the door opening cut me off.

"Charlie," Adam said uncertainly when he didn't speak but instead of answering, Charlie turned and left.

"What was that about?"

"I don't know," Adam said hopelessly, "He's been like that since break."

"God the two of you are girls," I muttered as the door opened again, "Hey Ken."

"Hey," he smiled, looking between the two of us, "What's going on?"

"We're talking," Adam stated, raising an eyebrow.

"That's not what Charlie thinks," Ken chuckled and I rolled my eyes.

"Seriously, dude, you need to talk to him," I told Adam.

"Talk to him?" Ken repeated, "That's not a good idea, he's a little angry."

"What the fuck does he have to be angry about," I demanded and Ken gave me a 'you're stupid' look.

"Do you have any idea how much time you spend with Banks?"

"He's my friend!" I defended.

"Yeah I know, but Charlie doesn't."

"You need to talk to him," I said to Adam again but he shook his head, "It's freaking obvious as hell he has feelings for you, talk to him!"

"Krysta, come on," Adam rolled him eyes.

"I will if you don't, Adam, I swear to god, you both have this lost puppy look when you look at each other. I'm sick of it."

"Jeez, you're a bitch," Ken muttered and I smiled.

"Thanks, I try." He laughed and I turned back to Adam. "C'mon, please Adam, you'll both be better off if you talk it out."

"I dunno-."

"Adam," I said shortly and he sighed, nodding.

"You're right." I smiled triumphantly as he got up and walked to the door but he turned to face me. "Good luck with Portman."

"What the fuck, Portman?" but he left. What the hell was he talking about? He couldn't know, could he?

Adam's POV

I knew exactly where to find Charlie and as I walked into the ice rink, he glanced at me, as if expecting me to come. I pulled on the skates I had quickly grabbed before leaving and got onto the ice. He was standing in the center of the ice, his back to me but he knew I was there. I knew he did. Finally, he turned and I saw the anger Ken was talking about.

"What're you doing here, Adam," he asked, the grip on his hockey stick turning his knuckles white.

"I wanna talk," I felt my voice crack as his eyes flashed. Maybe this hadn't been a good idea.

"About what?" he growled and I felt something inside of me snap.

"Charlie nothing's going on between me and Krysta," I stated, now annoyed myself. I'd been spending too much time with Krysta.

"Why should I care?" he sneered and I glared.

"You wouldn't be so pissed off if you didn't, Conway."

"Fuck you, Banks."

"You wish," there was a small flick of amusement in his eyes but it was gone in a flash, "You know what, Ken was right, maybe you should just chill. Then we'll talk." I moved to leave but seconds later, I found myself pinned to the wall.

"I don't want to talk," he bit out and I rolled my eyes.

"What're you a caveman now?" He smirked slightly and I groaned. "She's freaking rubbing off on me."

"What'd ya have to say, Adam?" Charlie asked, his temper seeming to simmer and the grip on my shoulders decreasing. His hands slid down my arms and I shivered slightly as his hand found mine. As his hand caressed mine, I felt his eyes watching for a reaction but I just stared right back.

"I don't know," I answered honestly. He smiled slightly and I felt myself blush lightly. I started to look away but his hand stopped me, guiding me back to his eyes before his lips lightly touched mine. He pulled back, looking down and took a large step back.

"Sorry I didn't mean-," but I stopped him, kissing him again. He was shocked at first, both of us were, but eventually, we just melted kinda. When we both back, we were breathless and he grinned. "Didn't know you felt that way, Banksie."

"You're an asshole," I blushed, glaring at him but he leaned down once more and I couldn't help but smile. God, kissing Charlie Conway was fucking amazing.
