Chapter 5: Get On Board

"Hey," Portman smiled sitting down next to Julie in the airport, "You looked scared."

"I hate airplanes," She said simply. He looked at her. "I do, I hate them, and my mom was supposed to be on the flight, but now she's meeting us there, and I hate it!" He laughed, "Stop laughing at me!" She hit him.

"You're abusive," He said, she rolled her eyes. "You are, I've known you two weeks and you've hit me like at least twenty times." He put his arm around her, that weird safe feeling was back, "I will sit with you on the plane, how does that sound?" She smiled. It sounded great, they'd been practically inseparable for the past two weeks. "So, your mom's meeting you there?"

"Yup," She shrugged, "Hey Dean?"

"Yeah," He said.

"I'm glad I met you," She said softly. He looked at her. "I mean, that sounds weird right? But I am."

"Is this going to be one of those end of camp, let's keep in touch kind of speeches?" He looked at her. She laughed, "We still have time, the whole summer."

"Not if we lose we don't," She shook her head. "I just, I was so freaked out about this whole thing, and we became friends so fast that,"

"I get it," He smiled, "I really do."

"What'cha looking at Cake Eater?" Connie said sitting down next to Adam. She looked over. "Oh, her."

"You know she's actually really cool," He said. She crossed her arms. "You have to live with her all summer."

"Not if we lose," She said.

"Hey," Guy sat down, "She looks grumpy."

"She doesn't like that I'm looking at Julie," Adam explained. Guy rolled his eyes.

"What was that?" She looked at him.

"Nothing," He shook his head, "Nothing at all. So do you like her or something?"

"Or something," Adam mumbled, "I don't know what it is, we have like a ton in common, and she's super cute."

"Super skank," Connie mumbled. Guy elbowed her, "Ow!"

"You need to be stopped," He said. "At least be civil."

"You don't even know what that means," She rolled her eyes.

"No, but my mom said it yesterday," He pointed out.

"Your mom's mad at me?" She looked at him.

"Can you two stop for like a second?" Adam groaned. Part of him really hoped that Julie didn't like him back, so that he would never end up like those two. And he was pretty sure that she liked someone else.

"What's with you tonight?" Eric said as Caitlin shifted away from him in the backseat of his car.

"I'm going to California for the summer," She whispered. He looked at her, "Or until Julie's tournament is over."

"But um, if it's all summer," He pieced together, "Then you'll go to Notre Dame, and we won't have any time together." She nodded. "When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow," She whispered. "I tried to explain it to my mom. But she won't accept it." He touched her face, "She says she can't trust me and Sean."

"So this is it huh?" He whispered. She nodded. "I still don't see why we have to break up, just because you're going to be in Indiana." Caitlin sighed, Eric was a great guy and he was an awesome high school boyfriend. But now that they'd graduated from St. Patrick's Prep High School, and Eric's big plan was to go to community college, well, Caitlin had bigger plans than that.

"It's not fair to you," She stuttered, "I mean, you don't want to sit around while I'm away." She kissed him. "There's still tonight."

"Cait," He said, "What's the point? I'm just going to take you home."

"Sure," She whispered, "Yeah," She smoothed her long dark hair. Well this clearly sucked.

"Hey," Adam sat down next to Julie. She was sitting scribbling in a journal.

"Oh hi," She smiled closing it. She was glad he was over here. "So um, ready to head out there?"

"Yeah, it should be fun," He nodded, "Is your family coming?"

"Yeah," She smiled, "Sean and Cait too. Yours?"

"My dad and Pete," He nodded. "Not my mom, she hates hockey." Julie laughed. "You look really freaked."

"I just hate flying," She sighed, "And this is the second time in two weeks that I'm doing it, so,"

"Right," He nodded, "Um, if you want we could sit together."

"I already told Portman and Fulton I'd sit with them," She shrugged, "But thanks!" She stood up and walked away repeating it to herself and feeling a little bit like an idiot.

"Hey man," Goldberg and Averman sat down next to Luis and Dwayne. Who just looked at them. "Looks like we're rooming together."

"Yeah," Luis nodded, "Looks like."

"So, um, what're you into?" Goldberg asked, "I mean, besides hockey, obviously. Unless it's all you're into like Charlie and Banksie."

"No," Dwayne shook his head, "I ride."

"Like bikes?" Luis looked at him.

"No, horses," He said. They looked at him, "We have a ranch."

"Cool," Averman nodded as Dwayne stood up and walked towards the bathroom. "Clearly he's the one we need to get."

"Oh obviously," Goldberg laughed. Luis looked at them, "Pranking, are you familiar?"

"You ever do the feather and shaving cream?" Luis said. They looked at him. "While someone's asleep, you put shaving cream on their hand and tickle their face with a feather, so it gets all over them."

"That's genius," Averman nodded.

"Yeah, well, I'm in the middle of ten cousins," Luis smiled proudly.

"We'll give it a shot tonight," Goldberg said, "Welcome to the team Mendoza." They high fived.

"Hey Cat," Julie's father said as she stood flipping through the magazines. "Listen um, when we get to California, Caitlin and Sean might be,"

"Thoroughly pissed that I screwed up their summer?" Julie said. He nodded, "Caitlin already called me to yell at me."

"I'm sure your sister didn't yell at you," He said.

"Um, no she did," Julie shrugged, "She always does, Sean too, when she gets stressed out and we do the teeniest thing it'll set her off. She needs a hobby, Mom's been saying it forever. Anyway, Eric broke up with her, since she's going to Notre Dame in the fall and he's just going to Bangor Community, and they were planning to break up then anyway or something, and since now she has to spend the whole summer in California,"

"How do you know all this?" He asked. She looked at him.

"Dad," She laughed, "You clearly never listen when she talks, it's all she's talked about since she got in." He nodded. "Anyway, I told Portman and Fulton I'd sit with them on the plane is that OK?"

"Yeah of course," He nodded.

"OK," She smiled, "Thanks Dad!" She pulled a copy of Sports Illustrated and then skipped out of the store. He'd always thought that Caitlin and Julie were opposites, but Julie had only been six when Caitlin was twelve, so she probably didn't realize how like her sister she was.

"Hey kid ready to go?" Pete walked over to where Adam was sitting.

"What are you doing here?" Adam looked at him.

"Bombay called the house," He shrugged, "They had an extra ticket because someone's parent cancelled, Dad asked if I wanted to go early and I thought God yes."

"Awesome," Adam sighed, "Let's just go." He'd obviously completely blown it with Julie.

"Hey," Jesse and Charlie walked over, "So the three of us rooming together."

"Great," Adam nodded. "Pete's here."

"We see that," Charlie said, "Hey."

"Hey Conway, Hall," Pete nodded, "I'm getting on the plane." He walked away.

"What's your douche of a brother doing here?" Jesse asked.

"I don't know," Adam shrugged, "I think he's mooching because of the free ticket."

"Oh," Charlie said.

"Boys come on," Bombay walked past, "Get on board."

"You heard the man," Jesse said. "Get on board." Charlie sighed pulling his bag at his shoulder, something was off about this whole thing and he didn't like it.
