"do i have a motion for reconsideration?" buckley asked the board who stayed quiet. "i'm sorry, coach but unless there is a motion from a board member and a second, the decision must stand."
"i told you." riley snickered to his teammates who were all smirking. i rolled my eyes.
just wait riley, just wait.
coach sighed, "you leave us no choice... but to bring in our attorney." he looked at the door which unlocked and in came bombay in a suit with a briefcase.
charlie and i smirked while everyone was confused as we watched bombay come up to the front of the room.
"dean buckley, members of the board." bombay greeted. "as counsel for coach orion and the freshman hockey team, i am here today to set forth your legal options so that you make the best possible decisions for all parties concerned."
"mr. bombay, this isn't a legal proceeding." buckley stated confused as to why bombay was here.
"not yet. but i will assure you that it will be. do you mind?" bombay politely responded and handed buckley his briefcase to hold as he whipped out one of the scholarship contracts that the ducks and i had all signed.
"these scholarships, an offer, became a binding contract upon the signatures of the recipients and acceptance by the ducks. they cannot voided except for cause- which i guarantee you, you have none. should you decide to purse their cancellation? i will slap you with an injunction. i will tie this matter up in court for years until long after these kids have gone to college. and i will collect damages and i will win because i am very, very good. wanna know why i'm so good? it's because i had a good education. you gave it to me and now you are going to give it to these kids." bombay stated using all types of big words that i never even knew of.
"he's good." orion whispered to charlie.
"just gettin' started." charlie whispered back. i glared as cole and riley snickered to each other on the other side of the room with varsity.
"now, some of you may be snobbish enough to believe that these ducks don't belong at eden hall." bombay continued and i put my hand up to my ear, as if saying 'i can't hear you' to varsity. they rolled their eyes at me.
"but lemme tell you, you are dead wrong. these are remarkable young people. you give them their full shot and i promise you, they will succeed. not only on the ice but in classrooms as well." bombay looked at me and i nodded. he knows about my grades and everything. straight A student, have won multiple art and singing competitions for my schools and so on. yeah, overachiever over here.
