Y/n's POV

We were in the locker room getting ready for our game. I was a little nervous to be honest, but we'll be fine. It really sucks that Adam isn't playing with us though. I got the last of my gear on and joined the ready people who were talking by the door. In a few minutes everyone was ready so we skated out, for a school this crowd was rowdy. I searched the stands and quickly found Varsity, and Adam clapping for us. We made it towards the box with Orion trying to group us.

"Gather around, let's go, hustle up." He said waving us in. "Alright think defense. Alright hands in here we go." He said putting his hand in the center. We put ours in the center and the team started quacking.

"Hey hey hey hey hey hey! What the hells that? Knock it off!" Coach said stopping us. "Alright go team on two. Here we go, one, two.." The team pathetically completed the 'go team'
We began skating out onto the ice, I was a starter. I got on the right of Charlie facing the Bear player. I looked to Adam and gave him a wink. He smiled like an idiot. The commentator was droning on about Charlie not being captain, which made me feel even worse. I wanted this 'C' on my jersey off. Charlie won the puck and began skating towards the net. Fulton checked a dude or two and Charlie made it to the goal and hit it in. The buzzer went off earning us a point. We celebrated, like normal teams do when they score a point. Until we got yelled at by Orion to act like we've scored before. Once again we got the puck in the face off and Russ ended up getting it. He did his Knucklepuck to the goal knocking the goalie flat on his back. I don't know who finished getting the puck in. The bears got the puck this time, but we quickly got it back. Luis began skating down way to fast for him to be able to stop. I went faster cause I knew Luis was either gonna have a concussion or be dazed. He was approaching the goal and hit it in. A second later he shot over the goal and flew into the boards.

"You gotta be kidding." I muttered as I went to help Luis up. We helped Luis up and he looked like he was high. We told him he scored, congratulating him. For some reason they all let go of him and he hit the ground. Me and Russ got him up and took him to the box, cause he's way out of it. Soon enough we had points racked up. I was on the bench and watching Dwayne mess with the Bears. He was showing off and just simple hit the puck in like a baseball.

Averman passed it to Charlie, who passed it to Fulton right before a player hooked him. Fulton got the puck and hit it in. Honestly I thought it wasn't gonna go in as the player caught it and spun like 10 times. Except he fell over throwing the puck in. We went over to Fulton and cheered.

"I spun that dude!" Fulton said hyped. We went back to playing after that bear play recovered. Averman was going down the ice hitting the puck back and forth quickly. The goalie watched, not noticing Averman let it fall back to Fulton. The goalie realized it when Averman spread his legs and Fulton shot the puck in. The buzzer went off and we celebrated. I looked to Adam and noticed that Varsity kept giving him dirty looks when he cheered for us. I really hate them, except scooter of course. There was only like 10 seconds left when Charlie had the puck. He came to a stop and hit it in with 2 seconds left. The buzzer went off as the period ended. The score was 9-0, us. The third period began. It was like the Bears had a rebirth or somethin. They were doing good defense, and ended up getting it from Charlie. Sooner than I expected they had 2 points down. Coach was getting mad at us, but I guess he's got a point. I looked to Adam to see him looking down as varsity had smug looks. Coach did a line change after the 4th point was scored by them. This wasn't gonna be good. They scored 2 more point when Charlie was head on with the player.

"Make him make the first move Conway!" Coach yelled. Charlie did not make him make the first move. They scored and I let out a sigh. I began skating towards the middle when I seen Charlie break his stick on the goal.

"What the hell got into him?" I said to Dwayne who was staring in amazement. Charlie was arguing and yelled like a 6 year old and was put in the box. I look to see Linda looking halfway confused halfway embarrassed. Coach switched out Goldberg and Julie. The bears were around the goal and for some reason Goldberg decided to go behind the goal. Well he isn't known for his balance and tripped behind the goal. The open goal sat there as they shot the puck in. The score was 9-8, us. Charlie was out of the box and skating down with 20 seconds left. He should be passing it, but he wasn't. Fulton tried yelling but Charlie ignored him.

"Pass it Charlie!" I yelled. Charlie just ignored us and kept going. Charlie slipped making the puck go forwards. Agonizingly the puck slowly went up the ice. It stopped right outside the goal. With 9 seconds left the player went down to the goal. They easily tricked Goldberg and got a point. We tied. Man I hate ties. Like I told Adam, it's like eating black licorice. The Bears celebrated at the tie as we knew we were about to get yelled at. I looked to Adam to see him looking at me sympathetically as varsity laughed at us. This was a mess. We went to the locker room and Charlie just threw his stuff down angrily. He made excuses like the guy hooked him.

"We didn't need anymore goals." Ken said as Charlie walked by.

"Hey Listen I was trying to win it!" Charlie yelled in his face.

"Stop yelling Charlie." I said exhausted. Last thing we need is to be yelling at each other.

"Well mission unaccomplished, Charlie." Averman said. Charlie acted all tough at Averman.

"We let down simple as that." Guy said.

"Hey you let down, I played hard." Connie said to Guy. I sat down on the bench as everyone just gave angry looks.

"Well what are we playing for anyways? Some stupid school? The alumni? I mean, Warriors? What the hell are we now?" Charlie said yanking off the jersey.

"Hey look man, we are on scholarship, I'm stayin." Russ said getting up. I agreed with Russ, but that's not important.

"Fine sell out." Fulton said.

"Man who you calling a sellout punk?" Russ said pushing Fulton.

"Hey get your hands off him!" Charlie said pushing Russ off. I quickly got up and helped pull Charlie back. They were still arguing when Coach walked in.

"How longs it take to score a goal?" He asked looking ahead. He raised his arm making us all flinch moving away. He threw the puck hitting our the board.

"Less than a second! That means that no lead is safe if you can't play defense. Now get this straight, I don't give a damn how many goals you score, I want one number on your mind. Zero. As in shutout. You got that?" Coach yelled. He stated as Charlie didn't make eye contact. "Practice. Tomorrow morning. 5:00 am. Gotta get up early if you wanna hunt goose eggs." He said walking away from us. Charlie angrily took off his stuff. I looked at my locker confused for a moment.

"Hey who took my clothes?" Guy asked.

"Yeah who took mine?" I asked looking around. Everybody looked in their lockers and noticed no clothes. I listened for a moment and realized the showers were running.

"The showers." I said making everyone look towards them. We walked over there opening the curtain. All of our clothes were soaked in the middle. Freshmen STINKS was written on the wall. They talked, but I just thought about one thing. Did Adam help them?...

Me, Kenny, Russ, and Julie decided to get some payback. We had a liquid nitrogen tank and we're gonna have some fun with the varsity locker room.

"Love this liquid nitrogen, but is it even working?" Russ asked.

"Yeah it's working." Kenny said.

"Hey you think they're gonna miss this big ole nitrogen tank in chemistry class?" Russ asked.

"What do you think." Kenny said. We got to a locker and Russ looked at it.

"Hey what about Banksie?" Russ asked mostly looking at me.

"He's one of them now isn't he?" Julie said.

"But what if he didn't do the whole clothes thing?" I asked.

"I don't know...but what if he did?" Kenny said. I looked at Adams locker for a second.

"You guys can but I ain't gonna touch it." I said backing up from the tank.

"Sorry cake-eater." Russ said spraying his locker. I felt really bad, I don't think Adam helped with the clothes thing, and if he did I doubt he wanted too....

Adams POV

We began walking towards the locker room after our game. I was towards the back of the line, they came to a halt for some reason. I looked ahead and noticed all the lockers had, ice? Cole went up to his locker and poked his jacket. It fell to the ground shattering. We looked at him to see his look above us. I seen the words,
VARSITY SUCKS ICE. Did y/n help them? I haven't even looked at my locker yet.

"Ducks." Rick said. He punched his locker angrily as his jacket shattered. I walked over to my locker to see it just like the rest. I looked over it still think about y/n. I doubt she helped... but what if she did? Maybe she just wanted to get back at the rest of us but not me specifically? Nothing was salvageable from the lockers people jackets were falling to the floor shattering. I went to feel mine and it fell to the floor shattering. I looked at it for a second, we're the ducks all mad at me?

"Hey Banks you alright?" Scooter asked snapping me out of my gaze.

"Yeah I'm fine..." I said.

"You sure? You didn't look real fine a couple seconds ago." Scooter said.

"Yeah, I was just thinking I guess." I said.

"Thinking about someone in specific or the Ducks?" He asked. Scooter was a good dude, the only one on the team that didn't torment me.

"....someone in specific." I said.

"Y/n?" He asked. I nodded yes.

"Let me guess... you're wondering if she did this to you, and is mad at you for the clothes thing?" Scooter said. Was it that obvious?

"Basically yeah." I said.

"Listen, If I were you I would just talk to her about it. You didn't really help with the clothes at all, you just stood there while pretty much everyone else did it. I doubt she did that to yours, yes she might've helped with ours, but I highly doubt yours. Talk to her about it, and I bet you guys will be good." Scooter said.

"You're right... but I'll just have to find her first and see if she even wants to talk to me." I said.

"Well I'd check her dorm first, and she seemed really nice so I don't think she'd be that mad at you. I mean she was nice to me the other day and I'm considered the Ducks enemy right now." Scooter said.

"Ok, thanks Scooter. I'll talk to her." I said. He smiled proudly that he gave me advice.

"No problem, oh yeah and uh, tell y/n I'm sorry about the whole clothes thing. It wasn't anything personal, it wasn't even me that did that. Rick put her clothes in there not me." Scooter said.

"Don't worry, I'll tell her." I said. He nodded with a smile and went back to getting off his pads. I got changed hoping to find y/n soon......

I walked down the hall that the ducks were in to her dorm. I knocked on the door and waited. It opened to reveal Allison.

"Oh... it's just you." She said as she looked behind her.

"Who is it?" Y/n asked from where I couldn't see.

"Adam." Allison responded looking to y/n.

"What do you need?" Allison asked turning back to me.

"To talk to her." I said. There was some movement and y/n appeared on the door. She walked out closing the door behind her. She looked at me expectantly.

"Uh... can we- do you wanna walk a little so we can talk?" I asked hesitantly. She nodded yes and we started walking. We got outside and I decided to talk, but I guess she was head of me.

"Listen Adam, I'm sorry about the ice thing, I didn't really want them to ice yours, but they did, but I didn't help them with yours." She said quickly.

"Oh.. it's fine y/n, I was gonna say sorry about the clothes, I didn't help them with any of your guys clothes. I stood there, cause it's not like I'd be able to stop them." I said.

"I didn't think you did, except the clothes really sucked, couldn't get them completely dry to save our lives." She said cringing.

"I bet it did, we had to wear everything back to our dorms, change, then bring everything back." I said.

"That's rough. Are you guys getting new jackets since well, they're probably dead now." Y/n said.

"I think so." I said.

"That's good." She said smiling. I'm glad she's smiling, not mad at me.

"Yeah... oh I almost forgot, Scooter told me to tell you sorry about the clothes. He didn't put your clothes in there even though he was supposed to, Rick did instead." I said.

"That's nice of him, you should tell him I didn't blast his locker either, I just helped when we got to the one after his." Y/n said.

"The next one is Dylan, he's a jerk I'm glad you helped with his." I said.

"Good, make sure to tell scooter that though since he was so kind to not put my clothes in the shower ." She said laughing a little.

"I will, and what was wrong with Charlie earlier? I've never seen him react like that." I said.

"Man I don't even know, ever since Orion came into the picture, well more like Bombay left the picture, Charlie's been getting more and more angry." She said looking a little sad.

"I guess he's just angry about Bombay just leaving. Bombay was like a dad to him." I said.

"Yeah, that's what sucks. Charlies just reacting worse to things, him and Russ about got into in the locker room earlier. All I know is I hope Charlie doesn't stay mad like this." She said.

"Me too, I doubt he'll stay like this." I said.

"Yeah, except he might've ruined his chance with Linda." She said.

"I forgot she was even there, yikes." I said.

"Yikes indeed." She said.

"So, since were out wanna do something?" I asked.

"Well I wanna go home, but that would take too long." She said.

"Maybe we can do that tomorrow, but for now I was thinking we could eat go eat somewhere." I said.

"Yeah... I would say go to Casey's diner, but I bet Charlie's there. If he's still fuming I don't wanna make it worse." She said.

"True, but we could still see if he's there. He seemed mad, for all we know he just walked out and went to Hans or something like that." I said.

"That's possible, guess we'll just have to see." She said....

"Bye Casey!" Y/n said to Casey as we got to the doors.

"Bye guys, thanks for stopping by!" She said back happily. We walked out of the diner and back towards Eden hall. Casey said that Charlie just left earlier, he was still angry. We walked for a while talking about random things. We finally made it to back to Eden hall and got inside. Curfew would be soon anyways, so we couldn't really hangout much longer. I walked her to her dorm like I have been. At the door to her dorm she turned to face me.

"Well Banks thanks for not being mad at me." She said smiling.

"I don't think I could ever be truly mad at you." I said. She smiled and leaned in to kiss me. Of course I kissed her back. I put my hands on her waist as the kiss deepened. I could stay like this all day if it was possible. Her hand went in my hair a little making me shiver. It was maybe a few more seconds when she pulled away.

"Bye Adam." She said smiling.

"Bye, I love you." I said taking my hands off her waist.

"I love you too." She said opening her door. I stood there as the door closed. Man she's amazing. I don't think I could live with myself if she hated me. I began walking towards my dorm with a stupid grin. She's all I need in life. I'm gonna marry her one day.....
