Astrid the Asteroid: Eden Hall

Chapter 14: 2nd quarter||

Astrid View:

We were in the lockers.

"They're cheap shotting us to death Coach".

"I know they are".

"It's going to take a miracle for us to hold on". Averman said. As if In cue Portman came in. We were all shocked.

"Dean Portman is awarded a full athletic and academic scholarship to Eden Hall Academy. I had this lying around in my house in Chicago. My attorney thought I should sign it. I agreed! It's official boys, I'm back!"  Dean said happy. The whole team cheered and clapped. We all had smiles on our faces.

"Well if it isn't Captain Conway." He said patting Charlie's back.

"Well actually I'm not Captain anymore. Astrid is". Dean looked surprised but happy.

"Who would of thought? Congrats Santos. Still got that aggressiveness in you? Have you played yet?" Deans asked.

"I've learned to control my anger issues. And no. I haven't played yet. Cause someone thought it would be a nice idea to not let me play". We both looked at Orion. He looked at a locker if it was so interesting to him at the moment.

"Let's go dance their skulls". Dean yelled. We all cheered and our in between break was over.

"Here we go into the third period of a well fought battle. Oh look, here come the ducks. Hey! Wait a second! Is that Dean Portman? It looks like the other bash brother is back and he's brought the ducks a renewed spirit. Dean Portman hasn't skated for a while but he's know more for his enforcer skills. Hopefully Santos gets to play this quarter. Than we be in for a snack".

We got to the bench.

"Coach let me play. Please. I need to help the ducks. Even you told me they need me the most but you aren't letting me play. Come on".

"Alright, alright. Fine. You been begging for a while now. I'm going to cut you a break. Go ahead. Take Center."  I cheered and headed to my place in the center.

"Looks like we got Santos on our hands. The moment we been waiting for since this game started. Varsity better watch out. Cause she's out for them and she's not playing games. The Captain of the jv team has a lot in store for them. Recently named Captain but will give no mercy."  I heard loud, loud cheers from the crowd. I'm guessing they wanted me to play too. Goldberg, Guy,Fulton And dean went to positions.

I was skating to center with dean before Cole approached us.

"Look, it's another bash brother and the little princess . Ooo, I'm shaking now!"  Cole taunted.

"So you're the big enforcer, huh? It's nice to meet you, you know we got something in common".

"Shut up, let's play hockey".

"Whatever you say sunshine."  Dean said.

"Okay bulldog. Nice talking to you too. But guess what. I won't give no fucks and will-". Dean put his hand over my mouth.

"Come on". I mumbled out.

"The game is going to start."  I rolled my eyes and went to Center. Facing Riley.

"Well, well. If it isn't Captain Ducky. I'm going to drown you Santos. It's a miracle you even got to play. I understand Orion. Letting his worst player out. Wrong choice ". Riley commented.

"Listen here you little fucker. I came here to play. Not listen to you or your bald headed grandpa ordering me. Oh wait, never mind that's your dad. I will drown you too. Like last time. Watch your back. Cause no body is safe".

"Alright, let's have a good period of hockey". The ref blew his whistle and dropped the puck.

I pushed Riley and he fell. I passed the puck to guy. Who went to their side. I was knocking varsity players left and right. And by the looks of it so were the bash brothers. Dean had already got Cole. He flipped him over by his back. And he landed in the glass shattering it.
We were all enjoying it. Savoring the moment.

"Now, that's clearing out the trash". Fulton said.

"Hey man, we're just getting warmed up". Dean replied.

"Definitely". I told them before rushing to guy.

I was near guy. We were both near Varsity's goal. He passed it and I tricked scooter and made it in. Point for the ducks.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the bash brothers are here to stay."  One reporter said.

"This is more like it. The ducks are finally starting to dish it out. Look at Portman, Fulton and Goldberg. Germaine is really going at it. And let's not even start on Santos. Checking the garbage left and right. And she already made a goal. This is sure a power line". Another reporter said.

2nd quarter was sure going to be crazy.

I'm not really putting all my effort and I already made the puck in.

I'm sure with this power line as they call it, we can win it.

The ducks can do it.

I know they can.
