After the game Alex hung out side the Ducks locker room waiting for Portman to come out. Duck after Duck left but there was not sign of him. Finally Adam and Charlie came out and shook their heads knowing who she was looking for.
"He and Fulton snuck out the other door." Charlie said sadly. Alex sighed and shrugged her shoulders. She couldn't expect everything to be the same between them.
"So you do like him then don't you?" Adam asked looking down at the floor. Alex shot her head up to see a mixture of hurt and happiness on his face. She expected the happiness was from the thought of being able to tease her.
"He's a friend Adam. Of course I like him." She shot back. She then sighed and took his hand in hers. "You know I'm sorry. I shouldn't have snapped at you. Portman and I have a weird sort of friendship."
She dropped his hand and walked off before Adam or Charlie could make anything of it. On her way out she spotted Fulton and Portman standing out side the door talking to Doni and Diana Portman's two younger sisters. She fell back behind a bush so that she could listen to them.
"You didn't even talk to her!" Doni said smacking her brother hard across the back of the head. "You went into depression because you thought this girl didn't love you any more and then she flew to see you, missed her first game, and you still didn't talk to her!"
"Come on Dean your such a moron!" Diana said then turned to Fulton and batted her eyes. "Hi I'm Diana."
"Fulton. Wow wow wow your telling me that Alex went to see you during our first game! That's why she was gone for so long! Dude Alex never misses a game unless its for something important." Fulton said then thought for a moment. "You know now that I think of it. She was still dating Adam then too."
"Exactly why I'm not going to talk to her." Portman said folding his arms across his chest. "How am I to explain."
"Explain what?" Alex said finally coming out of hiding. The group became uncomfortably quite and looked every where but at Alex.
"Hey Alex!" Alex turned to see Scooter and Rick running up to her as Adam and Charlie came running behind them. From the look of Adam he had just gotten jumped.
"Holly shit Adam what happened?" Alex asked with more anger in her voice than concern. She turned to look at Scooter and Rick. Rick had a content look on his face but Scooter was avoiding her.
"I thought your boy needed to be reminded that you still belong to us." Rick said with a smirk. "Even if you wore the bird uniform for a night you still belong to the Varsity."
"And the Varsity now belongs to the Ducks if I remember the game that just happened. So I guess that mean's I'm Duck property once again." Alex said angrily and walked over to Adam but he pushed her away.
"Why don't you tell her how this fight went down Banksie." Rick said with an evil smile. Adam looked down at the ground and Scooter laughed.
"I'll do it for you." He said then grabbed Alex away from Adams side. Portman was surprised that Alex didn't hit him or push him away. "Rick told Banks that you belonged to Varsity no matter what you or the Ducks did about it. Banksie said that he would see Rick and the rest of the Varsity team thrown out of the school before he saw you become a piece of property. Then Rick and I worked him over. What do you think of that babe?"
"I think you're prick Scooter." Alex said shaking her head and backing away from him. "Adam's right no one owns me. Not the Varsity, not the Ducks, and not you. I cant even believe we were friends."
"More than friends from the stories I've heard." Rick said giving Scooter a high five. Alex glared at him and Charlie soon stood by her side and took her back while Fulton got in his face.
"Watch it Fulton. I can make your life hell as well." Rick said not backing down. "This isn't over yet."
"Oh believe me Rick." Alex said nailing him in the face with one of her pompoms. "If you make our lives hell I'll make yours ten times worse."
Rick sneered at her but said nothing else as the he and Scooter walked away. Adam glaring at their backs. He turned to look at Alex but said nothing.
"And I thought the silence before was weird." Doni said breaking the silence and causing the others to smile. "Who where those guys?"
"Two Varsity players that have been after Alex from day one." Adam said with a growl. "Every guy on the team had a bet going that they'd nail her by the end of this year. That was before they knew I was dating her then the bet changed to they could get her to cheat on me. Then when we broke up the bet was that they could hook up with her. They're all pathetic."
"I bet that pissed you off didn't it Banks. Knowing your girl was the prime meat of the school." Portman said angrily eyeing Adam. Alex rolled her eyes and turned to Portman.
"You did not just call me a prime meat. And you have no right being made at Adam when he has done nothing more than be a good friend to me ever since we broke up. Unlike some friends I know who wont even talk to me." Alex reminded him. She then turned to Adam and Charlie. "Come one guys. Mom is cooking spaghetti and she's already invited you two and Amanda."
"Why has she invited my sister? Ok which one of the squad is dating my sister!" Adam said and fallowed Alex and Charlie home.
