Ch. 4 - Cheaters

At Practice Bombay was teaching us how to fake fall and cheat. He put me with Averman, bad call.

I knocked Aves over. Bombay looked at him after I slammed him on the ice with my stick and said, "Come on, make it look real. Act hurt!"

Aves turned over and said, "I am hurt."

Then he had us lined up saying dumb things. I didn't protest though because my dad wants me to play or he'll kick me out.

"Good, good. Now say it again!"

"Take the fall! Act hurt! Get indignant!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the game:

Goldberg kept on falling before the people were near him. He got us in trouble with the refs.

Charlie was the only one who didn't cheat, I didn't want to but I'd get in trouble with Coach if I didn't.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

"We can't even win when we cheat!", Terry said.

"Stupid cake-eater tricks!", said Jesse.

"That was so embarrassing.", Connie said.

Bombay came storming in.
"Charlie! What the hell is the matter with you? When I tell you to do something, you do it! You got it? Look at me."

Charlie just replied, "You can't make me cheat."

Then Jesse's dad came in, "Jesse, Terry, Adrian, let's go. This is what I gave up my overtime pay for? To see my kids and her takin' falls?"

We all left. I was staying at the Hall's tonight. Normally I stay at Aves house because my parents are never home. The Hall's are like a second family to me.
