Threats?

    It was two days later and it was during lunch. The team was huddled against two tables pushed together when a group of red and yellow came over.

    "Hey, Duckies." A short red-haired girl said. "I'm Rachel Madison, these are my friends. You know varsity, right?"

    There was only a handful of kids with her. "Yeah, we do." Nathan says. "What we don't know is why y'all are over here."

    "Can't us Ducks check on each other?" A tall brunette with brown eyes pulls up. "How you doin'? Josh Jenkins, varsity captain."

Lucas looks at the group. "You guys here for something or can we continue to eat without you pansies breathing down our necks?"

Jenkins clicks his tongue. "Good luck on your game Saturday. Hope you don't break a leg during practice or anything."

"Good luck to you guys too." Aneli smiles. "Don't trip on ice."

Rachel looks at her. "Actually, sprain something. Heard it's good luck."

"Want to show a demonstration?" Skills huffs.

Jenkins stares down. "Varsity lets go, we'll see them around." They slowly walk off away from JV. The Duckies look at each other before laughing.

"That's varsity?" Damian sips his soda can. "Nothing but a bunch of preppies!"

Aneli snaps to him. "Something wrong with preppies, King?"

"Talking about male preppies, Moreau."

Bryce gasps, offended. "I see how it is, Damian. I see how it is."

"Banks, come on." Damian huffs.

Bryce shakes his head before placing it onto Verity's shoulder. He stares down. "Babes, he hates me."

"Wait, you guys are dating?" Josue says out loud.

Everyone looks towards the two and Verity shook Bryce off. "No, why do you ask?" Everyone gives her a 'really' look. "What?"

It was Saturday and time for JV's first game of the season against Richards High Falcons. They were in the lockers getting, suited up.

    Whitey was standing next to the door. "Duckies, play good." He told them. "Win or lose, we do it as a team!"

    He goes out and lets them continue to get suited up. They got their new JV jerseys. It was white and red, with litte things of yellow. The primary color was white.

    The red was the lettering of the names and numbers and all that. The yellow was some stitching and the hockey stick of the logo.

    "Hey, look!" Aneli points. "We all have three's!" Verity looks and they do all have a three. Aneli was #13, Bryce was #23, and Verity herself was #03.

    Skills leans over. "Me too." He turns over and shows off his '33' on the back under Taylor. "We all matching."

    "That's cool!"

-

    Whitey had them do a small warmup lap before bring them in. "Okay, Duckies." He puts his hand in the middle. "Win or lose, we go this. Quack, quack, quack!"

The team quacks and cheers before lining up, or going to the bench. Verity and a big bulky player takes center. Justin goes left, Josue right and defense takes their spots. The ref drops the puck and Verity gets it.

    Justin and Josue chase after her, watching to make sure the puck doesn't get stolen. Some dude went to check Verity, but Justin checked him before he could. Verity shoots and scores.
