Charlies POV

"Shh. I think someones coming....quiet everyone." Connie whispered, quite loudly I might add.

The doornob twisted and the door swung open, revealing a rather surprised looking Sophie, the new girl, and....our new assistant coach Elliot Taylor.

"Oh shit." Goldberg said nervously. We all burst out laughing, at the same time:

Me

Russ

Averman

Connie

Adam

Portman

Julie

Luis

Matt and Zach (the Orion twins)

Fulton

Goldberg

Dwane

Guy

Kenny

All except for Sophie and her brother, "What the hell is going on here?" He shouted at us.

"Sorry, but who are you?" Portman answered riskily, from the bed in the corner.

"Portman. Shut up." I hissed at him.

"Whats up your crack Captain Ducky?" He wisecracked back at me.

I got up, and stood by the door with Sophie and Elliot. "For anyone who hasn't met our new coach, this is Elliot Taylor. And his little sister Sophie, who I'm guessing, is wondering why we are all trashing her new dorm room?"

"Thank you Charlie. And anyone who doesnt get out right now will not be playing tonight!" Coach Taylor announced. I looked over at Sophie, who looked like all she wanted 'right now' was for the ground to swallow her up, she was bright red.

The team, all got up and filed through the door saying polite "im sorry"s , and , "Welcome to Eden Hall"s, but some just stayed silent. Portman. I stayed behind to talk to Sophie. Elliot was fuming but had seemed to calm down a bit now.

"Hey Sophie. Look, we didn't know this was your new dorm room. Sorry." I apologised.

"Its okay, I think Elliots a bit angry though....I'm going to go get the rest of my bags." She said quietly then walked out of the room and down the hallway to the staircase while Elliot stayed to tidy the room.

I went downstairs and onto the lawn where she was struggling to get her bags out of the beautiful red convertable. I took one of the larger ones and looked up to the dorm windows where the twins were looking at us. I beconed them down with my hand to help. "Here I'll take this." I said. She spun round quickly, "Oh, you made me jump," She laughed. "It's okay, I'm the new coaches sister but you dont have to do this." She smiled at me.

"No, actually I do. I'm supposed to look after you remember. And letting the others trash our room before you arrive wasnt the best way to do it."

I blushed at that, a totally hot American guy was taking care of me.

By this time the twins had come downstairs to join us. "Yeah we're sorry too." One said. "It was out of order."

"Guys its okay, im just sorry about my brother. He's not usually this harsh." I apologised, "So I know that you're Charlie,"I pointed at the brunette with the amazing blue eyes. "And one of you....is Matt and the other is Zach. I think..." Pointing to the blonde twins, one of them stood forward.

"I'm Matt; I ate lunch with you today." He picked up one side of my mattress, and Zach took the other. They both smiled and started walking back into the dorm.

I took my gym bag and my school bag, while Charlie took my last suitcase. We walked up the stairs to the 3rd floor again. "They're okay guys you know, the twins. The whole team are, really." He put my suitcase next to the desk. "Come and get me if theres a problem. Room 205...." He said, then left the room.

Leaving me alone in my new room, alone with boxes and suitcases of stuff, the door opened again, it was Elliot.

"Thanks for that." I told him. Hands on my hips, "Great first impression you gave me. Now they're all gonna think im some prissy little girl who needs her brother to stand up for her."

"I know I shouldnt have snapped." He started apologising.

"Yeah, you shouldn't. And now I want you to go to each of the team and apologise. You need as much co-operation from them as I do!"

He looked like he was about to protest so I put on my angry face and folded my hands over my chest. "Go!" I shouted and pointed at the door.

He opened his mouth, but I gave him evils so he closed it again. "Fine, but just for you, I didn't do anything wrong."

He shook his head, then walked towards the door and called out for the team.

"Will all members of the school ice hockey team come into the hall please?"
