The New Duckies

    Whitey had made it mandatory for the team to wear their jackets on Wednesdays and Fridays, so that's what they did.

    "Oh, look it's the phony." The same kid from the cafeteria the other day looked Verity up and down. "How you doing today, babe?"

    Verity rolled her eyes at the smaller group today. "I actually I'm on varsity, preppies. So leave me alone."

    "You hear that, Danny?" A boy looked at the kid in the middle.

    Danny looked back. "She's right there, Mason." Danny moved and grabbed Verity by the shoulders. "I actually know people on varsity and sweetie, I've never seen you before. You can drop this little act."

    Skills and Zach strolled over. "V girl, he bothering you?"

    "Ooo, more varsity." Danny mocked them. "So terrifying."

    Skills looked him up and down. "Do me a favor and leave Verity the fuck alone before you gotta mess with me and the rest of the team. You got that, foo?"

He slightly pushed Danny. "Hey, don't push my boy like that!" The other kid said to them.

"Tyler, shut up." Danny glared back to his friend. "Look, man." He put his hands up. "We didn't want know trouble. We'll leave that phony-I mean that girl alone."

Mason nodded his head. "Mark our words." He snickered slightly.

Zach sized them up. "We'll see about that, preppers." He flexed his arms as he crossed them. "Now go run along."

After the group had left, Skills and Zach turned to Verity. "You good?"

"Yeah, thanks." Verity watched the preppy trio go down the hall. "They were getting on my nerves."

Skills clicked his tongue. "They do that again, you know where we at, V. We got you, homie."

"Thanks, Skills. Oh, and also thank you, Zach." Verity thanked both guys before continuing on her way to class.

    Verity, Aneli, Bryce, and Trey made it to rink and saw JV on the ice. Whitey was angrily talking to Grane kn the sidelines.

    "Hey, guys!" Keenan strolled over. He was all geared up. "Aren't you going to change?"

    The group of four quickly go change before coming back out to see the rest of varsity arguing with JV.

    "This is our time on the ice!" Matthew was arguing with a big guy. "Get off."

    Lucas and Damian were sizing up another one. "Yeah, our ice!"

    Diane and Dj were cussing out another one. "You stupid fucking assholes think you could do whatever you want? Hell to the fuck no, get off!"

    Whitey skated over to the arguing. "Duckies, off. Coach Grane said practice is tomorrow, she got the days mixed up."

    The captain took off his helmet. It was Danny. "No can do. We got here first so we get the rink."

    Whitey glanced at the name on his jersey. "Mercado, that doesn't matter. If we booked for the rink, we get the damn rink." Danny didn't budge. "Get your team out before I send my boys to drag you out."

    Nathan and Matthew crossed their arms, looking down on the smaller Danny Mercado.

"Tsk, whatever." Danny turned to his team of Duckies. "Let's go."

After JV fully left, Whitey turned back to his team. "I have decided that our captain will be Bryce V. Banks." He held out the yellow C. The team clapped for Bryce, except for Skills. He was being a sore loser.
