Adam, Charlie, and Amore took the ice. The coach decided to allow the two boys to challenge two of the first string boys as a second string boy challenged Amore. He also let the three friends be on the same side. for some reason he found it entertaining.
"You ready?" Adam asked as he skated next to Amore. she didn't answer but knew she had nodded. Adam took his spot across from Nick and the coach dropped the puck. Adam took it with ease and passes it to Amore. within seconds the Ducks were dominating. the other three didn't even stand a chance. after the third goal the coach blew the whistle.
"You three are good." He said with a smile. "But I'm sorry to say I'm keeping the same first string players."
"What!" Amore couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"You three need to learn how to play that well with the other members of this team. When you do that, then I'll consider putting Banks and Conway on the first string." Coach replied and smirked down at Amore. "But I will allow them to travel with us as back ups. and if you want to dress out for second string games I will allow it."
Amore looked down at her feet. "Thank you Coach."
with a heavy sigh Amore turned to her friends. "I guess I'll see you at home. Have fun in class."
The boys watched her go and shook their heads.
"All that work for nothing." Adam said looking over at Charlie who was smirking. "What's that look for."
"It wasn't for nothing." Charlie replied. "Amore wanted us traveling with the first string so she wouldn't be miserable. She got what she wanted. just not what she expected."
"Ray, I mean it! knock it off" Amore demanded with a slight smirk on her face. Larson stretched and smirked. They had been studying for at least half an hour, and he was needing a break. So his break insisted of throwing little bits of paper at Amore.
"Come on More, Its time for a break. I can't cram like you." Larson protested.
"Then maybe you should have spent less time with McGill and more time with me back in the day." Amore teased.
Larson groaned. "Are we really going to go through this again? I had to hang out with some one when you were off running around with Banks."
Amore rolled her eyes and put her pencil down. "Fine. five minute break."
"Yes!" Larson said getting to his feet. "So when do the dreaded roomies come back?"
Amore looked down at her watch. "In an hour. That is if they don't stop for food on the way back."
Larson nodded and went to the fridge where he grabbed to cans of pop and a bowl of fruit Amore had prepared before he came. She still hadn't told Larson who her roommates were and he didn't ask. It was just a mutual agreement that it was better if he didn't know.
he came back with the pop and sat one down in front of Amore. They sat in silence for the rest of the five minute break. But of wasn't an awkward silence. it actually felt normal. Like the silent moments she and Adam used to share back in the day. But when they started to get back to work, they were interrupted by the sounds of car doors closing. Amore's head shot up. standing out side were her roommates, her father, a very pregnant Michele, and the twins.
"Oh my God!" Amore said as Adam spotted Larson's truck.
"Aw, now I know why I was never to know who your roommates are." Larson said then smirked at Amore. "Guess this is my cue to book it out of here. See you in class. That is if Adam doesn't kill me in a jealous rage. he's kind of tall now. Not so sure I could take him so easily now."
"Oh you are so not funny." Amore said smacking him in the back of the head as she headed to meet every one at the door. She wax even more annoyed when Larson took his sweet time collecting his things.
"What are you doing here?" Charlie said when he spotted Larson. Amore stood between the two boys, knowing Charlie was ready for a fight.
"He's here to study for our lab coming up on Monday." Amore replied. She then turned and glared at Larson. "See you in class. And don't forget to do your part of the questions."
"Little faith Mory." Larson teased. he walked past Charlie and stopped in front of Adam. "Nice to see you again Banks."
"Yeah, same here." Adam replied glaring the shorter boy down. Larson walked to his truck and the moment he left Charlie and Adam turned on Amore. She just rolled her eyes and walked in.
"Ok, what did I miss." Michele asked. From what she could tell of the young man he was a very good looking guy and seemed nice. But Adam and Charlie didn't seem to like him.
"Remember how I told you that Amore and Adam used to belong to a differently team before they came to the Ducks." Bombay asked.
Michele nodded. "The Hawks."
"He's a Hawk." Bombay replied. Michele nodded. she had heard a lot about the Hawks. Most of the Ducks never let Amore or Adam forget that they once belonged to that team.
"So what are you friends with him now?" Charlie asked.
"Bet he's trying to start where you two left off." Adam added as the two boys followed Amore into the living room. Amore rolled her eyes and turned towards her friends.
"I don't really have a choice. he's my lab partner." Amore replied. "Our teacher announced the first day of class that the person sitting next to us would be our lab partner for the rest of the semester. And luck so had it that Larson sat by me that day."
"That doesn't mean you have to go on a date with him!" Adam demanded. "We saw you leave with him last night!"
Amore rolled her eyes again. "It wasn't a date!"
"Oh yeah then what was it?" Adam asked crossing his arms. for some reason Amore felt like a scolded child.
"Catching up with an old friend?" Amore offered. but her answer only frustrated the boys more.
"So your friends huh?" Charlie asked and Amore rolled her eyes for what seemed like the hundredths tome that day.
"I didn't mean it that way. He took me to the theater building where his mom works and we talked about how things used to be." Amore replied.
"You mean when you two were boyfriend and girlfriend?" Adam asked sounding very hurt. Before Amore had time to answer Adam headed up stairs.
"Oops." Charlie said as he watched Adam retreat. "I forgot about that."
Amore sighed. "Let him cool off for a moment. then if he's not down here in fifteen minutes I'll go talk to him."
Adam sat down at his computer desk and texted Julie. with in seconds she was on his computer screen.
"What happened?" Julie asked. Adam shook his head.
"A Hawk. that's what happened." Adam replied bitterly. "When things were just starting to get better he just had to show up."
Julie nodded and waited for him to go on. She knew he was having to vent. and he couldn't do it with Charlie. Even though Julie thought the world of Charlie, he wasn't the best with giving advice about girls.
"Last night Amore went out with Ray Larson. Back when we were all on the Hawks, the three of us did every thing together. then Amore and Larson started to date. that was till Amore went to the Ducks. Larson took it worse than I had."
"And your scared that she'll go back to him." Julie said and Adam nodded. "Isn't this the same kid that put her life through hell? she wont go back to that."
Adam bowed his head. "But I've done the same thing. if she forgave me, then why wouldn't she forgive him?"
"Because your different." Julie replied. but Adam shook his head.
"Amore was always closer to him. she just hung out with me more because I lived closer." He said sadly.
"Don't sell yourself short. Amore loves you." Julie replied with a smile. "And besides if she was closer to him back then, then why didn't she fight to keep their friendship like she has done with you?"
Adam thought for a moment then shrugged.
"Because you two need each other. even when you two fought all through high school, you two were always around each other. And I know if it comes down to it Amore will always choose you. she always has before."
Adam smiled. "Thanks Julie."
"Now go talk to her." Julie said and Adam smirked.
"I think I'll let her come to me. five more minutes and she'll be up here to check up on me any way."
"Go easy on her." Julie warned. "I'm sure this Larson situation isn't easy on her either."
Adam nodded and clicked out of the video chat then waited. And like clock work some one knocked on the door. he didn't answer. he knew she would just walk in. and she did just that.
"I should have told you that he was going to school here." Amore said sitting down on his bed. "I was just trying to avoid a fight."
Adam turned and looked over his shoulder at her but didn't say a word.
"If your worried about old feelings bubbling up between us then you have nothing to worry about cause..."
She didn't have the chance to finish her sentence. Adam was now leaning over her and almost forcing her to lay down on the bed. he put a hand under her and easily moved them farther up the bed. Amore's heart raced as he leaned in closer and closer fill his lips almost met hers. he then smirked and got to his feet. Amore just laid there stunned. she sat up on her elbows and glared at him. "And what was that all about? You can't just do something like that and stop before you get anywhere!"
Adam smirked again. "You want me to finish what I started?"
Amore gave him an odd look. for some reason when he acted like this she couldn't read him. and that fact almost scared her.
"When did you become such a tease Adam Banks?" Amore asked and he shrugged.
Amore got to her feet and walked up to him. "What if I decided to finish for you?"
Adam shrugged again and placed a hand on her waist and brought her closer to him. Amore stood on her tippy toes and inched her lips closer to his.
"You two aren't killing each other in there are you?" Charlie asked from out side the bedroom door. "Cause I really don't want to go down stairs and explain to Bombay why only one of you will be coming down."
Adam rolled his eyes and let go of Amore then opened the door. Charlie smirked at the sight of him. "Well at least your both still alive."
"Yeah, thanks Spazway." Amore said as she walked up behind Adam. Adam smirked and brought her back to him and closed the door in Charlie's face with a loud snap. he pinned Amore to the door and pressed his lips to hers. Amore wrapped her arms around his neck but as soon as the kiss started Adam was pulling away. he smirked down at her and with a wink he opened the door.
"Really now. was that needed." Charlie asked with his arms crossed.
"Yep." Adam said walking away. Amore watched him go unable to move. she was still in shock.
"So what happened?" Charlie asked with a smirk as Amore's cheeks turned red.
"I have no idea." Amore replied. "But I think he's spent too much time with Portman."
Charlie smirked. "Is that a bad thing?"
Amore smirked. "Not at all."

Connie smiled when she saw Guy walk into her room. he smiled back and sat down next to her on her bed. it had been a long few days with McGill coming around all the time to see Trish. And Guy had a few classes with him.
"Next year I'm putting a request in for a roommate from out of state." Connie said and Guy smirked.
"Actually I was thinking we should transfer schools." Guy replied. "Go to school with Charlie and them. maybe we could rent a house close to campus with them."
Connie giggled. "Not so sure Charlie could handle two couples under one roof."
"Two?" Guy asked confused. last he had heard Amore and Adam were only tolerating each other for Charlie's sake.
"Yes two. because by then Adam and Amore will be together." Connie replied.
they heard some one snicker and turned to see Bryan McGill standing in the door way with Trish.
"Those two will never make it as a couple. not with Larson around." Trish said placing an hand on McGill's shoulder as he brought her closer to him. "Larson lost her once to you Ducks. and if he meets up with her again. he wont let her go so easily."
"Then you don't know Amore or Adam very well." Connie shot back.
"How dare you talk to her like that." McGill growled. be took a step forward and found Guy in his face. "Out of my way. Your not so tough with out the rest of the Oreo line."
When Guy didn't budge McGill raised the book he had in his had and struck Guy hard across the face. Guy hit the ground hard. Trish quickly took McGill's arm and lead him out of the room as Connie tended to her fallen boyfriend.
