Secrets Beneath Teenage Love: A Mighty Ducks and Newsies Story

Chapter 7 | Class Schedules

Anastasia walks out of the auditorium saying goodbye to her new acquaintances. She enters the nearest bathroom and walks to an empty mirror reapplying her lipstick and scanning her outfit for any wrinkles wanting to look presentable for her first class.

She takes a deep breath looking into the mirror. Okay Lion you can do this. You are brilliant, cute, and smart. Just be yourself. She takes in a deep breathe holds it for ten and out for eight. She pulls out her schedule. Okay, first class: Freshman English. She checks the map down the hall to the left.

Anastasia arrives to class on time and takes a seat by the window. As she takes out her notebook and pen, a distance noise of teens talking near the door grabs her attention. But these aren't just any normal teenagers. They're the same teenagers that came out of the curtains during the speech this morning. That's when her eyes stop on a 6'0 ft tall teenager with silky chestnut brown hair parted down the middle and the cutest smile.
Her cheeks begin to heat up as she quickly looks away not wanting to seem like she was staring. Anastasia looks in her peripheral vision as he walks in.

Anastasia He smiles.

Hey Adam, she flashes him her best smile.

How are you? Banks asks as he sits down next to her and takes out his notebook.

Well it's the first day of school in a new state so not great.

Understand- before Adam could finish his sentences a curly brown hair brown eyed teenager wearing a 96 ducks jersey is standing in front of him. whose this?

Charlie Anastasia. Anastasia Charlie.
Oh so this is the girl you've been talking about. Charlie grins at Banks.

Anastasia smirks at Adam. you've been talking about me?

If looks could kill Charlie would have been dead 2.5 seconds ago.

I was just telling them that I helped guide you home, because you were lost. Banks opens his notebook not wanting to give himself away.

Charlie glances at his best friend rolling his eyes yeah sure thats all you were saying.

Oh, thank you for that again.
No problem.

They turn their attention to the front as the teacher begins to teach her lesson.

....

Fourty-five minutes passed as the bell rings.

That was the boringest class ever, Charlie says as they walk out the classroom.
I usually like English but our teacher is way to strict for the first day of school. Anastasia replied as she walked beside Banks.

What do you have next? Banks looks at Anastasia.
Art which is she looks at her schedule then the map upstairs.
Science Charlie replies.
I have math, Banks says reading his schedule.
Okay well bye Adam and nice to meet you Charlie.
You too, Charlie lingers for a minute waiting for Anastasia to disappear. Once she's out of range he turns to his best friend.

Man she's cute and you like her...
I'm aware Conway, and now I'm sure she knows too.
Charlie shrugs you're welcome
Adam rolls his eyes, I don't remember saying thank you.
No but you will, Charlie turns around and walks to his class before Adam can respond.
