New girl ~ Adam Banks

Part 32.

We watch as the other team skates onto the ice. "Do you miss Edina High yet?" Charlotte nudges my arm causing me to stop watching the team skate laps and look at her. "All the time. I mean don't get me wrong I love it here but Edina high was different everyone was more close together in a way whereas here it's more about winning".

I look back onto the ice to see the ducks skating on. I see some of smiling and nodding their heads towards met causing me to have a huge smile on my face.

"This place is amazing you know how lucky you are have a scholarship here. I would give anything to be here and play for one of these teams".

After a while into the game, the ducks were not doing so well. They were only one point behind but were struggling a lot. It got to half time and I seen Averman and Connie standing at the sides trying to signal me to come down.

"One second I will be right back" I nudge Charlotte before getting up and making my way down to the two. "What's up?" I ask smiling as they both look at each other. "Stay here we are going to get Adam please calm him down he will end up throwing the whole game". I turn around to look at Charlotte who is just looking at me confused.

Adam soon skates up to me and rips off his helmet and rubs his face. "Hey what's wrong?" I ask, I could tell the whole game that he was getting annoyed more and more. "They aren't playing fair how am I meant to do well when I can't made a simple pass because I have 3 guys at my back" Adam rests his arms on the small strip of plastic separating the two of us.

I take hold of Adams hand causing him to look up at me and lock his blue eyes with mine. " Adam it's fine trust me. You don't think when your mad and I don't want you throwing the game. Just try to calm down I know how good you can play just ignore them". He nods slightly still not breaking eye contact before taking a deep breath.

I squeeze his hand before letting go and nodded at him. "Now go to the locker room like the rest and try to calm down a bit". "Thanks Soph" he smiles before placing his helmet on the top of his head and skates away.

I make my way back up to my seat as Charlotte stands up. "Where are you going?" I ask. "I want water" I roll my eyes "there's some in my locker come on" i lead her out the row of people and make our way out the stadium.

We walk down a corridor in silence mostly as Charlotte spins in circles trying to look at everything. We reach a row of lockers and I stop at one. I unlock it and take out a hoodie and hand it to Charlotte to hold as I grab the bottle of water out my bag. "Who's is this" Charlotte asks as she hold it up and examines it.

"Probably adam's or Luis's" I zip up my bag and shove it back In the locker. "Mendoza" she said slowly reading the word on the back of the hoodie. "Luis. He probably put it in before the game".

"You like him don't you". "Luis. Ew no". I pull a face as I take the hoodie off her and put it back in my locker. "No you idiot Adam. You like him a lot it's so obvious".

I hand Charlotte the bottle of water and never said said anything back. I start to walk through the hall ways "you can't escape it. I know he hurt you but your like soulmates in a way. You were clearly made for each other and you know that".

"Ok new topic" I mutter trying to get her to stop talking about Adam. Deep down I knew I liked him a lot but I just didn't want to admit it again. "Fine fine but I am counting down the days you come to me and the other girls saying you are dating Adam" she nudges me and takes a bottle of water out my arms.

We walk back to the stadium messing about talking utter nonsense just catching up on each others life's.
