Crushing on my teammate (Adam Banks love story)

"The ducks first game" and "getting a new player"

We were going against the cardinals, for the ducks first game. We were tossing a football back and forth to each other.

"Every time you get the puck your the quarterback. Make eye contact with the receiver. Talk to him let him know it's coming. Come on guys, this isn't a library, talk to each other." coach told us. After we were done with tossing the football back and forth, we watched Fulton shoot the puck in to the net.

"Whoa!" I said as he broke the glass. The whistle blew.

"Alright, let's forget the past. We lost a few games, tough. That was district 5. Now we're the ducks. And the ducks are undefeated. Quack, quack, quack!" He started chanting.

"Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack!" we all chanted.

"GO DUCKS!" We screamed.

It was the 2nd period we had 9:43 left. Jesse shot the puck and scored.

"Yes!" I screamed.

"That's the Oreo line!" Jesse said and I couldn't help but giggle.

Karp was playing defense, when the other team shot the puck and it hit Karp in the head. We all skated onto the ice.

"I don't want to go to school today, mom." Karp said in a daze.

"Karp how many fingers am I holding up?" coach asked Karp, holding up four fingers.

"He wouldn't know that anyway." Peter said. I nudged him in the ribs.

"Shut up, Peter." coach told Peter.

"Karp are you okay?" coach asked.

"Coach, look at this." Guy said as he held out Karp's helmet.

"The karpster used his head to stop the puck. Mr karpalondi." Averman said.

"Let's get you off the ice." coach told Karp.

"Okay ducks we still got a chance here. Connie, Terry, Jesse, Jodie, time for the secret weapon." Fulton went out on the ice with me, Connie, Terry, and Jessie. They got the puck to Fulton, who faked a shot. Connie took the puck and passed it to me. I shot the puck, and made it in.

"WE TIED!" I screamed as we all went to hug Fulton.

"So tell me about you and Adam." Connie said right as I walked into her room.

"You have to tell me about you and Guy first." I said.

"Okay, okay. So I went to his house last Friday to talk about hockey. We were talking and he asked me what I wanted to do when I grow up. I told him I wanted to be a stay at home mother and have and amazing husband. And he muttered something under his breath like 'I'll keep that in mind.' we talked for a little bit, and I was complimenting him on how he played hockey, he scooted closer to me and looked in my eyes and KISSED ME!!!!!" she screamed.

"WHAT?!?! Really? Did he ask you out?" I asked.

"Yes! And I said yes!" we both screamed and did a happy dance.

"Okay, enough about me and Guy, what about you and that Banks kid?" she asked.

"Well it's just his eyes are mesmerizing. Like whenever I look into them, I can see a future with him." I said daydreaming about Adam's eyes.

"Awwwwwww, that is so cheesy."

"Ya, well it's the truth." I told her as we started getting ready for bed.

"Hey, why aren't you guys in uniform, we've got warm ups in half an hour." coach says as he walked into the locker room.

"Alright everyone, listen up. Got some good news. Were getting a new player. Adam Banks."

"What?!" everybody asks as Connie looked at me and I blushed.

"He's a hawk." Karp said.

"He's a good player." coach countered.

"Everybody hates him." Jesse said.

"Ya, we don't need him." Connie said as I glared at her. Maybe... just maybe I wanted him to be on the team.

"Look I'm the coach and I say we do need him. Now if we make it too the play offs he could be a big help."

"If? All of a sudden you don't think we're good enough?" Karp asked.

"No he thinks were losers. Ya that's what he told Riley. C'mon we heard what you said, you said we were losers and we didn't deserve to live." Peter said

"That's not what I meant." Coach replied immediately.

"I saw that picture of you missing that goal. You were a hawk weren't you? I guess you guys stick together till the end. You know what I don't need your stinking equipment. See you around." Peter said walking out.

"Peter come back here. I'm talking to you son."

"Forget it cake-eater. If you wanna play, play with yourself. C'mon Terry." Jesse said as he and Terry walked out.

"Where do you guys think your going. I don't believe this. Alright, I'm going out to the bench, cause that's where I'm supposed to be. Anyone who wants to join me can join me. Anyone who doesn't..." He said as he started to leave.

Charlie, Fulton, and I were left after trying to convince the others to stay. We skated on the ice and I heard the words I was dreading.

"We forfeit." coach said.
