"You wouldn't believe what the varsity did to us!" Fulton said when he met Alex at the airport.
"Threw your things in the shower and turned on the water?" Alex asked. She had over heard Mindy talking about it but she had assumed Mindy meant the J.V. squad.
"How did you know?" Fulton asked surprised.
"Not the point." Alex reminded him. "What did you do as revenge?"
"Ken, Julie and Russ used liquid nitrogen to freeze their lockers." Fulton said pleased with the idea. Alex was impressed as well.
Fulton and Alex took a taxi school and went their separate ways to class. Fulton went to P.E. while Alex went to theater.
"Today I'll be giving you your semester assignment." Mr. Nett announced. "You are to make three music videos. You're aloud three people in each group. I have them make out already. Conway, Conway, Mendoza. Conway, Helloway, Richards. Conway, Conway, Conway."
"Mr. Nett do we get to pock the Conway we're with?" Mindy asked hopefully.
"Uh no. Let me reread the groups. Alex, Misty, Luis. Mandy, Mindy, Linda. Sara, Sassy, Sami." He read off then shook his head. "No that won't work Misty change groups with Linda and Sami do the same thing with Luis."
The bell rang and every one headed to lunch.
"Hey Ali. Sorry to hear about your Friend." Mindy replied "I was really hoping Mr. Net would put you and Luis in my group."
"Yeah to bad." Alex said entering the lunch room. She sat down by Fulton and yawned.
"No more plane rides for you." He said letting her have a drink of his mountain dew.
"Hey check out the new jackets guys." Russ laughed as the varsity came up to talk to the Ducks.
"Should I call 911 now or after?" Alex asked rolling her eyes.
"Alex what are you doing here?" Adam asked when he saw that she was back.
"Sitting." Alex replied with a smile. "Oh and sharing a Mountain Dew with Fulton."
"Hey Congrats on the Blake game." Rick said sounding honest.
"Yeah right we tied." Charlie said with a grudge. Alex winced at the thought of the game she had missed.
"Hey a point's a point." Rick said trying to pump up the team. "We're all Warriors now. You guys proved your guts. You all set for dinner Friday?"
"Diner?" Russ asked like the thought was idiotic. Alex noticed that Adam was staring at her.
"Well it's an Eden Hall tradition." Rick said cheerfully. "Varsity got to treat the freshmen to dinner. So, round up your passé and meet us at 6:00 at the Minnesota Club, down town. Any body need a ride we can take you. Bring Ali along. I mean, you guys do like steak and seafood right?"
"Yeah we do!" Charlie said at once.
"Look I don't like you pucks, all right." Cole said having to put his two cent in. "But this is a tradition. At Eden Hall I learned to car about tradition."
"Some things up." Alex said suspiciously but no one seemed to care.
"It's cool!" Adam added and the Ducks gave in.
When Friday night rolled around the Ducks put on their best clothes. Alex wore a black dress that barely went past her knees. When she arrived she sat down between Adam and Cole. Every so often Adam would reach his hand over and caress her upper leg. Then when no one was looking he whispered into her ear. "It's a prank."
Alex looked over at him in surprise but he had already gone back to eating. Alex looked at each Duck but not one would look at her. Alex then stood up. "I have to use the little girl's room."
Alex left the restaurant and raced home. When she raced into the house her family was all sitting around waiting for her.
"Wow you're back early." Brad said surprised. "Why are you out of breath didn't Adam's parents bring you back?"
"Adam and the others are still at the restaurant." Alex said with a deep breath. "The dinner was a prank. There going to make the Ducks pay for an almost $900 dollar bill."
"Take this." Roxie said shaking her head. She handed Alex a credit card. This shall pay for some of it."
"Thanks mom." Alex said leaving her house and racing back to the restaurant. When she got there the varsity boys were standing out side the window watching the Ducks clean up the table.
"What are you all laughing at?" Alex said walking up behind Adam. She looked into the window and shook her head. "Wow that sucks. Tell me Rick, was I supposed to be in there with them or was I supposed to be out her watching like I am now?"
"I have nothing against you babe." Rick said as Charlie dropped a plate full of food down his cloths. "What a looser."
The varsity boys laughed and started to walk away. Adam grabbed Alex's arm and started to lead her towards his parent's car.
"You're just going to let them clean up all that crap up!" Alex said pulling away from Adam.
"Alex you know my parents hate cussing." Adam warned.
"I don't give a shit!" Alex said backing away from him. "You may not care about the Ducks anymore but they are still my friends Adam. I'm not just going to let them clean after you and your prick friends."
Adam looked back at his parent's car then stepped towards Alex and whispered to her. "I still care about the Ducks. It's just that my parents think they are a bad influence on me."
"I don't care Adam." Alex said heading back for the restaurant. "My cousin is in there wearing my brother's new pant, that I just watched him spill food all over. I'm going in there and being a true friend. I'm going to help clean."
Alex turned and left Adam in front of the restaurant. She walked in and opened the sliding doors. The Ducks turned to her in surprise. Alex pulled out the credit card and smiled.
"Who wants get out of here and do some major payback?" Alex said handing the card to a restaurant employee. "Take the rest of the bill off of that."
The employee left the room and brought it back fallowed by the Ducks that were working in other parts of the restaurant. "You're all free to go."
"Alex we owe you." Luis said giving her a sideways hug. Alex walked out of the restaurant with Luis in that sideways hug and the rest of the Ducks fallowed. The walked down the street unaware that Adam was waiting for Alex by his parent's car. When he saw Alex and Luis he shook his head and got into the car to hear his parents rave and rant on how they thought Alex had been a nice girl.
On the way home the Ducks decided to all meet at Fulton's the next night before they went to pay back the varsity. They all went their different directions except for Alex and Charlie. Charlie's mom was out of town that week so he was staying at Alex's house.
"So what is up with you and Adam?" Charlie asked. Alex sighed knowing some one was going to ask her that.
"I'm not sure. He's changed so much this year. Hell I don't even know him any more." Alex said shaking her head. Then she decided to change the subject. "So what's up with you and Linda?"
"I asked her out on a date after the game against Blake. Well after I got grounded I kind of stopped talking to her." Charlie said scratching his eye brow, a habit he'd had since he was about three. "She won't even look at me any more."
"What are you talking about?" Alex said with a laugh. "She can't take her eyes off you. You're just not looking. Believe me she likes you. Just be a man and talk to her."
"What do you mean be a man?" Charlie said as they walked up the side walk to Alex's house and into to the living room.
What they didn't notice was Adam watching out his bedroom window as a tear rolled down his cheek.
