I was so confused why my team was here. Were they supposed to be the new kids? Or is this some dream? A joke? I couldn't decide. It was like I had died and went into some perfect world dimension. Well at least I knew two things:
-I like Charlie
-And I'm not telling the team about my trauma.
"So, why are you guys even here?" I asked as I hugged the rest of the team.
"This is our new school," Russ said as he patted my back.
They all live here? In New Jersey? What? Why? What about coach Bombay?
"What about Coach?" I questioned with concern.
"Well," Adam started.
"Well what?" I asked with attitude.
"He still in Minnesota," Adam finished.
"Well what the hell are we without Coach? DISTRICT 5 AGAIN? THE TEAM THAT WASN'T EVEN A TEAM UNTIL WE MET COACH BOMBAY!" I said furiously.
I was upset, pissed off, Coach Bombay was the one who made us the Ducks. If we never met him we would've still been crappy District 5 hockey team. I was upset, I didn't have a dad, I had a mom but she abused me. Coach was a father figure to me. That's something I had always hidden from the team, that my mother abused me and still
does.
"He said he'll visit though," Connie said with a unsure smile.
"He fucking better," I said under my breath.
"Come here," Adam said with his arms open.
I run over to Adam hugging him tight. I used to like Adam, a lot, but I eventually got over him. He gave the best hugs ever, better than Charlie. I remember when I told Connie I liked Adam and she basically screamed "YOU LIKE ADAM?". We were at hockey practice and the whole team heard, even Adam. I was screwed, but now it's just funny.
I finally let go of Adam. I was still upset, but I felt better. I just was confused why the team left Minnesota.
