RINGGGGGGGGGG

i wake up and slam my hand onto the clock, shutting it up. i don't want to get up, but i realize i see Adam today. i shoot up, hair falling into my face. i blow it away and swing my legs off the bed, and stumble to the bathroom.

i get some clothes on and brush my hair, just like everyday and of corse i brush my teeth and do other obvious things. i put my shoes on and start the walk towards the alleyway.

i turn the corner into the alley and see Adam sitting on a bucket that's flipped upside down. i walk into the alleyway and he looks up to see me, "hey! so, what did you wanna talk about?" he asks as i sit next to him on a box. "i actually have something to admit too." Adam adds. "oh, well, you go first!" i tell him. "no, you first!" he replies. "same time?" i question and he nods. "okay. three....two....one!"

"i like you!"
"i like you!"

both of our faces turn to shock at what the other just said. "really?!" i ask, smiling. "yes!! literally since i walked into the locker room!" Adam replies. we tackled each other into a hug and squeeze each other tight. once we pull out of the hug we are face-to-face, our noses touching. then, before i know it, our lips collided and we were kissing.

i was kissing Adam Banks and it was the best thing ever.

so this is it. Adam Banks was my first kiss. and he will be from here on. it felt....different. maybe because i had never kissed anyone before besides my mom, and Charlie, but that was when we were like four and mom wanted a cute sibling picture. and of corse we kissed each other goodnight. up until we were about seven, and got to old for kissing siblings. especially the opposite gender as you. but, i had never kissed someone in that way, never had a boyfriend, or really any physical touch in a more-than-friends way. it felt...good. really good. great, actually. i liked Adam. a lot. and he felt...warm. and cozy. and i felt comfortable with him. sort of..safe.

i could feel his smile through the kiss and i bet 100% he could feel mine. once we fall out of the kiss our faces are still close together. "so what are we?" i ask, still smiling. "well, will you be my girlfriend, Liv?" Adam asks me. i nod, "yes, Banks. i will be your girlfriend." i smile.

~playoffs - The Hornets~

me and Adam walked into the locker room, and everyone stared at us. "guys, me and Adam...are dating." i smile and Connie and Tammy squeal before they run up to me, hugging, while the boys sat with their mouths hung open. Charlie was the most surprised, because i've never had a boyfriend, or even a crush before. of corse, Charlie gave Adam the traditional 'if you break her heart, i'll break your nose' talk, and Adam promised he wouldn't.

me and Adam held hands while we talked to everyone, and then coach came in. he looks at me and Adam and sighs, shaking his head. "i assume another couple?" he questions and a chorus of 'yeah's go around the room. "first Connie and Guy, now Banks and Olive." he sighs and we all laugh as me and Connie share eye contact.

~the actual game~

"the surprising Ducks are still in this game against The Hornets, Adam Banks has the puck! Banks coming up to the line, he stops, he shoots, he scores!" the announcer speaks through the intercom. we all cheer for Adam for making a goal, clapping along with the audience. coach calls line change and i go out there with the players in the box, and the players who were on the ice come in the box. besides Adam.

it gets a little rough, people sliding into people and a bunch of people falling, and on top of each other. Adam gets us another score, and i get us another two, and Averman gets us another. then, the buzzer goes off and the game is over, WE WON!!

"The Ducks win, 5-3! The Hornets are going home and The Ducks live another day!" the announcer announces as the whole team does another group hug. i hug Adam separately, still yelling and cheering because we won a playoff game, and we're going to the semi-finals.

~playoffs - The Cardinals~

"what a game so far, ladies and gentlemen! The Ducks and The Cardinals! Cardinals with it in their own zone, tryin' to clear it out! pass it to the blue line, intercepted by The Ducks. here's their star, Adam Banks! Banks has great speed, right down the middle! he passes it to Olivia Conway and she shoots for the net! the puck goes in and she scores!"

the side for The Ducks in the crowd claps and cheers, as me, Charlie, Adam and Connie hug.

"Conway passes it to his sister, Olivia passes it to Guy Germaine. Germaine goes in for the point, he scores!!"

"and that does it! the Ducks won 4-2, and The Ducks now get set to face the Hawks in the state finals!"

we all hug, cheer, yell, scream, shout, do everything filled with excitement because WE'RE GOING TO THE STATE FINALS!!

in the locker room Lewis bought sodas in a cooler, but we decided to have fun with 'em. we shake them up and splash them everywhere, getting soda all over the place and all over people whilst cheering. Lewis then dumps the rest of the ice in the cooler ontop of coach's head, to which he yells but cheers and smiles with joy.

in the girls locker room, me and Connie were talking about how Guy was taking her to hang out tonight. they'd been planning it for weeks. knock knock. i walk over to the door and open it, seeing Adam. "hey, Banksie" i smile. "hi Adam!" Connie yells from behind me. "hi Connie! hey, puck girl." he yells back at Connie then looking back at me with a smile. "you wanna hang out?" Adam asks me. "of corse, just let me get my life together first." i grin, looking back at the mess of bobby pins, clothes, hair ties, pads, tampons, etc all over the floor. he nods happily and backs up so i can shut the door.

i run to Connie and jump into her arms, her catching me. "HE JUST ASKED YOU ON A DATE!!" Connie screams. "I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW!! I LOVE HIM SO MUCH I CANT HANDLE IT!!" i yell back. we do a small dance party and our handshake before cleaning up all of the girly mess.

we walk out of the locker room, and i link arms with Adam. i wave Connie, Guy, and everyone goodbye before she walks out with Guy and me and Adam start walking down a street.
