Bad Cookies

    It was the next day during lunch and the Duckies were eating, or most of them were. Aneli, Skills, Zach, and Verity weren't there yet.

They were still walking to the cafeteria. "So, are we really going to stay quiet about what varsity did?" Zach asked his friends.

"I say we don't." Skills huffs, pulling out a brown paper bag. "You know how Jenkins been taking Lukes stuff from his mom? Well, he'll love to take these cookies."

Aneli eyes the bag. "What did you do?"

Verity smirks, slyly. "You'll find out." The small group walks into the cafeteria. Rachel and Jenkins go up to them.

Rachel snatches the bag from Skills. "Hmm, what did momma pack for you?" She pulls out the cookies in saran wrap. "Oo, cookies. Yummy, thanks."

Jenkins opens one and takes a bite of the huge cookie. "Mmm, what's in here!" He spits it directly on the floor.

"Have your little girlfriend take a bite." Verity smiles. "Maybe it's just you."

Rachel opens a new one and takes a bite. She chews for a moment before coughing it up. "What the fuck did you Duckies put in here!?"

Skills rest his arm on their shoulders. "Oh, well you know, little of this, a little of that. And a lot of pet food, wasabi, laxatives, and what else was it, V girl?"

Verity looks up to the ceiling for a moment. "Hmm, I think it was the curdled milk or the green eggs? Oh, wait, it was both."

Rachel screams and the small group runs as varsity goes after them. JV was looking at them for a moment before joining everyone running after them.

They ran past Mrs. Karls and all the kids run over her when they ran past. The small group ended up running to Nokoa and Kataryna before varsity stops chasing them.

    It was practice time and JV was in a circle. Whitey had something important to say to them. "Duckies, I have news." He started speaking. "Now, nobody get any hard feelings with it."

    "We won't, Whitey, sir!" Justin does his average stuff with Whitey.

    Whitey gives him a look. "I have chosen your captain." Murmurs go across the team.

    "I bet it's you, sweet thing." Bryce elbows Verity.

    Verity elbows him back. "I'm not captain material."

    "Here I have the captain's badge," Whitey got their attention again. The 'C' was yellow. "And i have thought long and hard about this. This player has shown excellent leadership skills, and quite good teamwork."

    A bunch of names were being whispered. Mostly between Bryce and Zach. Verity personally thought either Bryce or Skills based on how they played their last game.

    "And you will follow your captain." Whitey goes serious. "Even if they are black, white, green, or purple. Male or female, you will respect them. You got that?"

    The team nods and Justin has to be extra. "We understand, Whitey, sir!"

    "Will you shut the fuck up with that!" Matthew stares at Justin.

    Whitey sighs. "Madders, laps." Matthew groans and goes for the laps. He looked quite funny skating with his goalie gear. "Your new captain is..." he pauses for dramatic effect.

    Aneli grabs the bridge of her nose. "Coach, can you say them already?"

    "Skills Taylor." Everyone stares at Skills and he was fidgeting with his coily hair. "Congrats on making captain." He slams the 'C' onto his chest. "Now, ten laps then meet back here."

Practice was over and everyone was leaving the lockers. Rachel and Jenkins were waiting outside the rink. Verity, and Aneli were walking together when Rachel stopped them.

"Hey, Duckies." She smiles sweetly. "Had a good lunch?"

Aneli smiles sweetly back. "I bet you did. Did you like those cookies?"

Jenkins pulls Rachel back from the two girls. "We just wanted to give a thanks." He rolls his head and his neck cracks. "We wanted to give you guys a little bite."

Rachel opens one from the wrap and held it in her hand, staring at the girls. "Open wide." She runs at them and tries to shove the cookie in their mouths.

Verity yells and screams, fighting off Rachel's arms. Aneli was trying to pull her off, but Jenkins shoved her down the little hill and she slid down.

Rachel was trying to restrain Verity and shove the cookie in her mouth, when she suddenly got pushed off. Rachel shouts and Jenkins turns back around.

Verity sees Bryce block a punch to the stomach. He punches Jenkins and he twirls before Bryce kicked him down the hill.

"Hey, fucker!" Aneli shouts. "He could've hit me!" She complained as she marched up the hill. Her white shirt had grass on it, same with her hair.

Bryce rolls his eyes at her and instead turned to Verity. "You okay, baby?" The guys come jogging up as Rachel runs down the hill to Jenkins.

Verity couldn't answer his question as the guys were whooping. "Take that you varsity scums!" Keenan kicks grass as Rachel and Jenkins run off.

"That punch was nice!" Sean compliments.

Justin shrugs. "His feet were too close. If he had spread them more, his punch would have been stronger and his knuckles wouldn't hurt." Everyone stares at him. "What?"

Josue shakes his head. "Nothing, man. But that was pretty cool, Bryce."

    "Uh, thanks." Bryce slings his arm over Verity. "Let's go inside."
