My Brother, The Hockey Player

Chapter 20

Ski

The four of us walked out of the locker room and onto the ice. We all got onto the ice one by one, throwing out helmet off to the side and starting to warm up. I looked over at Coach and he looked disappointed. Then he told the referee something. We all skated to Coach.

"We forfeit. I'm sorry, guys. Maybe if we can get the team together and win the next game, then we can make it to the playoffs." Coach sighed, then walked away.

"Wow." I sighed, shaking my head. I turned around and skated away.

I was walking to science class with Adam. With the rest of the team in there. This is going to be bad. We got to the science hall and started to find out class.

"I seriously don't want to go to class right now." I said. Adam nodded.

"Same here. What is the rest of the team going to say?" He asked. I shrugged. We finally got to the class and opened the door.

We walked in and everyone was staring at us. Except for Charlie and Fulton. Their heads were down. Adam and I walked to our seats and sat down. Mr. Klean walked in.

"Hello class!" He yelled in excitement. There was a pause, expecting us to say it back, but we stayed silent. He coughed to break the silence. "Alright, open you textbooks to page 205." He said.

I slid my book closer to me and flipped the pages until I got to page two hundred and five. "Okay, class. What is the smallest thing in the universe?" He asked. We rose our hands. "Ski?"

"Atoms." I answered. He nodded happily.

"Very good Ski. Yes, at-" There was a knock on the door. Mr. Klean looked at the door, then back at us. "That's the principal, you guys read about how atoms are created. That's a goodie." He said, then he walked out of the room. I started to read.

"How was the forfeit? " I heard Jesse ask me in a teasing voice. I looked at him while he was laugh.

"Why did you guys have to leave?" I asked.

"Because Coach was being a jerk. Just like you." Jesse snapped. I saw Charlie shoot up from his chair.

"Shut up, Jesse!" I heard him yell. Jesse got up and shoved Charlie. I shot up.

"Don't push him!" I yelled. Then, everyone got up and started to push desks and started to push everyone. Terri punched me in the jaw bone. Then I shoved him.

"Hey! Hey!" I heard someone yell. We all stopped and saw the principal coming in. "Sit down!" She yelled. We all pulled back our desks and sat down real quick. Except for Charlie, he couldn't find his desk, so he just stood there awkwardly. "What do you have to say for yourself?!" She yelled. There was a long pause. I stayed staring at the desk.

"Quack... quack.... quack..." Charlie whispered quietly. I looked at Charlie quickly, he was staring as his desk, repeating those words over and over.

"What?" She asked. We all started to add in.

"Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack!" We all said repeatedly.

"Stop it! All of you! Detention! You guys are staying in after school and I'm calling your parents!" She said. Then, the bell rang.

Schools over.

The other students who weren't in the fight left, but the rest of the team stayed in.
