We're enemies ~ Adam Banks

35: reinstated

(outfit above)

We were all in the board room. Ducks on one side and the upperclassmen on the other. I was now hoping more then ever that our scholarships get reinstated because that would mean Adam and I would be on the Ducks again.

Dean: do I have a motion for reconsideration?

We all look at the table with about 14 or 15 old people seeing if anyone voted but nobody raised there hands.

Dean: I'm sorry Coach but unless there is from a board member and a second, the decision must stand.

I look across the room to see all of the upperclassmen cockily smiling and mumbling things to each other.

Orion: you leave us no choice but to bring in our attorney

The board member and upperclassmen start mumbling nonsense. That's when the doors open and Bombay walks in with his briefcase and all. Our team immediately breaks into smiles,

Bombay: Dean Buckley, members of the board. As council for Coach Orion, and the freshmen hockey team. I'm here to set forth your legal options so that you make the best possible decision for all parties concerned.
Dean: Bombay this isn't a legal proceeding.
Bombay: not yet but I can assure you that it will be. Do you Mind?

He hands Dean his briefcase and takes out a folder from the side pocket.

Bombay: these scholarships and offer became a binding contract upon the signatures of the recipients and acceptance of the ducks. They can not be voided except for cause which I guarantee you have non. Should you decide to pursue the cancellation, I will slap you with an injunction. I will tie this matter up in court for years until long after these kids have gone on to college. And I will collect damages. I will win. Because I am very very good. You know why I'm so good? Because I had a good education. You gave it to me. And your gonna give it to these kids.

He walk back to the stand so he's near Dean Buckley.

Bombay: now some of you may be snobbish enough to believe that these ducks don't belong at Eden hall. Let me tell you, you are dead wrong. These are remarkable young people. You give them your full shot and I promise you they will succeed not only on the ice but off the ice as well. These people are my friends and I know what they can do. Accordingly I demand that you reinstate these scholarships for their benefit and for your own.
Woman: I vote that the scholarships be reinstated
Dean: Is there a second?

A man raises his hand.

Dean: all in favour?

The rest of the table raise there hands.

Dean: scholarships reinstated

All of the board besides the board members and the upperclassmen start cheering. Once we had all excited the board room we all end up bumping into the douche bag group.

Riley: congratulations on destroying our school.
Ken: hey look it's out school too.
Linda: it's everyone's school you stupid jock.
Riley: no it'll never be your school. Don't you get it. Your our own little affirmative action brought in for colour to entertain us. But you couldn't even do that. Your fancy lawyer kept you in on a technicality but you'll never belong.
Cole: you'll never be anything more then a bunch of rejects here on a free ride.
Russ: free ride? look at you rich boy. Mommy and Daddy have you everything huh?
Riley: hey, J.V varsity game's on Friday. Then we'll show the whole school what a joke you really are. Then maybe you'll leave on your own. It'd be the honourable thing to do.
Cole: you know we're gonna hurt you
Charlie: listen, you guys had an unfair advantage last time. You had two of us Banksy and Sinclair.
Riley: oh well keep em. They never had the heart of the warrior anyways.
You: Yeah well I didn't think I could get my head that far up my ass.
Russ: and Biff one more thing. After we beat you the warriors die and the Ducks fly.
Riley: anything you say loser.

Riley and his followers all walk off leaving us in the hallway.

Averman: good move guys make em even more madder. Charlie we gotta do something man.
Charlie: Yeah your right we gotta get to work.

And then he leaves with all of us following behind going to our classes.

~🏒🥅~

After my math class it was now officially lunch. I was just happy I could sit with the Ducks instead of the ass hole table. I was sat between Charlie and Fulton with Adam across from me. It felt normal again like everything was like it was supposed to be until a certain someone had to come over to the table. I look up and see Emily walking over to Adam putting her hands over his eyes. That's when everyone at our table got quite and looked at both me and Adam.

Emily: guess who?
Adam: A bottle blonde wearing dollar store perfume.

I quickly put my hand over my mouth to contain my laughter watching the horrific exchange go down.

Emily: your so silly Bansky. It's me.

She removed her hands and sticks her face in front of Adams.

Adam: I stand corrected.

He says as he eats a chicken finger.

Emily: Why are you so Moody today? Someone not got there Emily hug.

She tried to hug him and Adam slides from out of his chair and crawls to were I'm sitting. He sits beside me and Emily just laughs awkwardly.

Adam: I'm allergic.
Emily: to what?
Adam: just allergic

I put my head in my hands and look at the ground trying to stop my laughter from coming out. I hear other people trying not to break out into laughter.

Emily: but we had so much fun last night

And that was it I started laughing historically hearing her scoff.

Adam: I was with Savannah last night.
Emily: b-but you broke u-up
Adam: Where'd you hear that? Me and Savannah are quite happy huh?
You: yes very.
Emily: I hate you Savannah Sinclair with all my heart.
You: just admit your obsessed with me.

She told her eyes and walk away sending everyone into a laughing attack well besides Dwayne who looked utterly confused.

Dwayne: I thought ya'll broke up
You: we did Dwayne
Dwayne: but you said you were together and all
Adam: we just wanted her to leave Dwayne
Dwayne: Oh I get it. Real good guys.
Russ: man just get back together then

I roll my eyes at him and Adam just looks at me with that sarcastic let's do it face.

You: Don't look at me like that Banksy. Go eat your chicken.

I push him onto the floor and he crawls back to his seat and aggressively takes a bite out of his chicken. I would have to say that was probably the funnest lunch we've had since we got to Eden Hall.
