Charlie's POV
The JV versus varsity game. No pressure. We're all getting ready and the locker room door slams open and I look over and it's the second bash brother, Dean Portman. He starts reading off about a scholarship to Eden Hall then says "I'm in, y'all! Woo!" I say "get your gear on, without you, they might just kill us" quietly. Adam has told me a few of their plays and that they will be told to play cheap. Dean says "where's cake eater? He's my favorite one" and I say "got chosen to play varsity" and Dean says "damn, and none of you? Man, he was my favorite, now I have to face him." I say "I don't know, they took him and none of us. Don't mention it to him, he hates it as much as we do. Anyway, I have a plan. It is kind of dirty but I do have one." They all reluctantly accept what I have to say. I say "I know a few of their plays. If you hear someone from the other team say snake. Do ice it up. It's a new one but it's bound to work. If you hear space, stay on them, and hope you can get the puck. If you hear, lights. We'll do quick feet but Julie, stay right in front of the net, don't let them tempt you to come out of it. That's the goal of the play. They have a few others but they are all easily played, we can handle them. Is everyone remembering the plays?" Julie says "snake, ice it up. Space, don't give them space even if you are tempted, and lights, quick feet but I stay in my spot, don't come away from the net." I say "yes, lights will sneak right up on you so you have to be careful and hold your ground, Julie, or they will score. It's probably one of the best plays I've ever seen. Adam told me about it yesterday." Luis says "so, you're saying Adam is working for us?" I say "in a way, Adam won't be out there. Don't expect him to shoot for us or let us have the puck cause he won't. This is his way of helping us, so let's use it to our advantage." Coach Orion comes in and he talks to us about the game plan and we eventually go out onto the ice. We do our thing and the varsity kids come out. I watch Adam as I skate around and we warm up then we go to our spots. Adam says "didn't know you were playing center. A bit out of place, huh?" I say "yeah, wait till they put Goldberg on the ice and not in front of the net" rolling my eyes and hitting my stick somewhat aggressively against his. Adam says "never thought I'd see the day" hitting my stick back. The ref with the puck says "you guys gotta stop or you'll both get a penalty" and Adam mumbles "got it." He smirks at me and taps my ankle and I do it back then we get ready for him to drop the puck. We've had to distance from each other around school again cause Rick Riley won't get off my ass about Adam being nice to me. He's kind of a dick to the rest of the team but I think they like it better that way. Rather than Adam just ignoring them. Then the ducks have someone to take their anger out on and not feel too bad after. Therefore, Adam is a willing participant in being a punching bag. Adam mumbles "I got you, be safe, and don't be too hard on yourself cause I'm gonna kill you. Make it easy for me" smirking as he drops the puck. I get the puck saying "shut up, Adam" chuckling and hitting the puck to Fulton. He slams it right in and I say "that's right" quietly. I open my arms in a suggestive gesture at Adam and he makes a hand gesture basically telling me to piss off. Their goalie hits it out to Adam and I mumble "shit" and he hits it to their captain. Their captain, Rick Riley, saying "lights! Light it up! Let's go!" I don't say anything and we just go into quick feet and Julie backs right up into the net, almost inside of it, ready to roll. Coach Orion says "watch the puck, Moreau cause it's coming to you!" She moves side to side slowly and stops quickly as the puck comes to her, stopping it with her stick. I hit Adams ankles as I skate past him and he shakes his head at me. We play and we play a stupidly close game, tied the whole time. I make the final winning shot and they all come over to me. When we win I don't feel how I usually do when I win. I feel bliss, relieved even though none of our troubles have gone away except maybe the varsity kids getting off our backs. I look over and I see Coach Bombay and I start hitting everyone and I say "Bombay is here, Bombay is here, guys!" I gently hit Adams ankles as I pass him and a few of the guys teasingly hit him on the head. I say "see you around, Riley, let me know if you want a rematch" smirking. We all go cheering into the locker room and I say "I'm gonna go find Bombay!" I leave the locker room and I run into Coach Orion and Coach Bombay talking. Bombay says "Charlie!" I say "Coach!" I hug him mumbling "we need you back, Coach" hitting his arm and he says "let's talk later" smiling. Coach Orion says "I want to talk to all of you, go to the locker room" nodding in the direction of the locker room. I walk in and I say "found him!" We all cheer and Orion says "chill out, this is just the beginning. You didn't win it all, you did a good job. Practice tomorrow night." We all look at each other and Bombay comes in when Orion walks out. Bombay says "that was kickass!" We all cheer and he says "Orion just can't celebrate the little things can he?" Adam sneaks in saying "Bombay? Boy, am I glad to see you" sighing and Bombay says "don't state your case cause I can't help you now, big boy" patting his shoulder and Adam says "good job, guys, I'll see you later." Adam nods at me and leaves and before the door shuts I say "thanks, Banks" and he smiles, shutting the door behind him.
