Y/n's POV

We were warming up on the ice. I haven't even got Adam to look at me. I felt horrible, and my brain just wasn't working. I was skating beside Charlie at the moment. We were just drifting when I heard Adams voice.

"They didn't tell me before it was too late. Charlie believe me" Adam said. I looked up to him, but he was just looking at Charlie.

"Yeah right preppy." Charlie spat. Adam looked down sad and skated away.

"Charlie what if he's not lying, did you see him last night at the dinner, he didn't look like he wanted to leave." I said.

"Believe whatever you want y/n, just because he's your boyfriend doesn't mean you can think everything he says is the truth. Open your eyes." Charlie said.

"No charlie you open you eyes, you cant be mad at Adam. You two were the inseparable best friends before we got to this school. You're gonna let the school you want nothing more than to get away from ruin your friendship?" I asked.

"Maybe I am, Banks is one of them and you're ignoring it. You're acting like they aren't complete jerks just because you talk to the Scooter dude." Charlie said.

"First off Adams not one of them. You haven't even gave him a chance and talked to him. You've shut him out and Scooter isn't even a bad guy I don't know why you care about that. I don't know what happened to the Charlie I met a year ago. What happened to you man?" I asked.

"I didn't change y/n. You're too caught up in kissing banks to realize how crappy life turned." Charlie said.

"Whatever you say Charlie." I said. Charlie didn't get to say anything because Guy showed up.

"C'mon guys were about to start." He said. I skated away glancing back to see if Charlie was looking at me. Charlie wasn't looking at me, but Adam was. When we made eye contact he looked away like nothing happened. We got into our spots and Rick and Charlie faced each other. I stood farther away from them so I couldn't hear what they said. Rick knocked down Charlie real hard. This was gonna be a rough game. Varsity had a point real quick. Charlie called Flying V. All I know is this wasn't gonna be the same without Jesse. We began skating down the ice with Varsity waiting. We all got knocked over and varsity had the puck. They skated down with no defense in place whatsoever. They scored easily on Goldberg. The game was going on rough, and varsity annihilating us. I managed to retrieve it from behind the net only to get checked into the boards. I got up as quick as my body let me. Charlie attempted the triple deke only for the goalie to catch it. Rick and another dude were skating down while Goldberg was waiting for them. The other dude knocked down Goldberg and Riley messed with him just holding the puck in front of him. Charlie went up pushing Rick. It looked like they were about to get into it til Connie got infront of Charlie.

"Let me at him Charlie." Connie said as Charlie pulled her back.

"Oh hey here's one. You got a little problem?" Rick said. "C'mon sweetie take a shot. Take a shot!" Rick said as Charlie pushed Connie away. Me and Dwayne stayed back as Connie went away. Rick and Cole started paying attention to us.

"You want some punk?" He said to Dwayne. "Little Banksie isn't gonna protect you sweetie." Rick said to me. I wanted to sock the dude, but I knew it wouldn't fix anything. We went back to playing and Charlie was going down with the puck. Adam was beside him trying to get the puck. I watched as Charlie put Adam into a headlock and they both went into the goal. I skated as fast as I could to the boys. I knew they were too mad each other not to get in a fight. Charlie pushed Adam.

"How do you like it banks?" Charlie said angry.

"Yeah nice takedown you'd be in the box." Adam said.

"Go cry to your rich parents." Charlie said.

"Alright fine." Adam said. Adam got Charlie in a headlock and the boys were punching. I tried pulling Charlie off only to be pulled away by someone. I couldn't get away from whoever it was. I looked up to see Scooter.

"Let go of me Scooter!" I said trying to get out of his grip.

"No, you don't need to get punched by either one of them!" He said. He let go of me and I attempted to get away from him. Didn't work. He grabbed the back of my jersey pulling me back to him.

"C'mon man let me go! I wanna punch rick!" I said.

"Trust me we all do." Scooter said. I watched as the teams went on for a moment when a light turned on and a whistle was blown.

"Freeze!" Coach Orion yelled. Scooter let go of the back of my jersey. "Hey!" He yelled skating over.
"Hey! Break it up!" He yelled louder. He pulled apart a few people and grabbed ricks jersey. "It's a damn good thing I'm not your coach. Now get your team and get out of here!" The boys skated away and I watched as Adam looked at Charlie one last time.

"We're gonna destroy you guys." Rick said.

"Let it go." Scooter said pulling him.

"Well congratulations. You just forfeited whatever mental edge you might of had on Varsity. Now they know they own you. This isn't Pee-wee. Your little duck tricks aren't gonna work on this level. Now for the last time stay away from the varsity. And get those duck jerseys off now. Let's go. C'mon let's go. Take them off!..... The ducks are dead." Coach said. I pulled off my jersey and looked to see Charlie with his arms crossed.

"You got two choices Conway. Take the jersey off right now, or you don't play." Orion said.

"You're breaking up the best thing any of us ever had." Charlie said.

"Well it's time to grow up." Coach said.

"Grow up? Like you, huh? A washed up pro who has to show off to a bunch of kids? Jeez that's real grownup." Charlie said.

"Okay, goodbye Conway." Orion said. "Anybody else?" I looked around to see Fulton still with his jersey on. You gotta be kidding me. Fulton skated away following Charlie. "Goodbye Fulton." "No ones forcing any of you guys of you guys to be here. It's your lives. You decide what to make them." He said looking around. "All right. 20 laps, then hit the showers." He said.....

I was walking to my first class right now. With that horrible teacher. Quiz day I think. The quiz isn't even the thing worrying me. It's the fact that I sit between Connie and Adam. I don't know if he's mad, he wouldn't really look at me during the game. I don't even know at this point....

Adams POV

I walked into the class and looked to y/ns seat. She was looking down at the pre-passed out quiz. I sat down and she wouldn't look to me. I wanted to tell her I wasn't on Varsity anymore. I don't know exactly why, but they took me off Varsity. I was pretty excited about it. I bet she thinks I'm mad at her. I'm not really, last night I was, but that was just because of the whole ants deal. I seen her and Charlie arguing earlier, I heard a part of it. It started out with her trying to tell Charlie not to be mad at me, then it just turned into her telling Charlie that he changed. I would be lying if I said she wasn't right. Charlie changed a little, I never thought out of all people he'd be mad at me. Now I have my best friend not talking to me, and the person who means everything to me, won't even look at me. And half of this is Varsity's fault to begin with. All I know is I need y/n talking to me again. It's not even been a day, but man it feels like forever. It feels like when we got into that argument at the goodwill games. Maybe I can talk to her after their game tonight.....

Y/n's POV

I was walking to social studies next to Beau right now.

"Where's Adam at?" Beau asked.

"Not here." I said.

"What?" Beau asked confused.

"He's not walking with us." I said.

"That's obvious, I mean what happened. Why aren't you walking with him too?" Beau asked.

"It's nothing we're just... I don't know exactly." I said.

"Somethings happening between you two and I wanna know. And you're gonna tell me whether you want to or not." Beau said. I looked at him for a moment and knew I wasn't gonna win this.

"Fine. Recently Varsity and JV have been going back and forth with pranks, but it's more like revenge pranks. We were fine with each other til yesterday. Varsity invited us to dinner downtown. Well they decided to dine and dash leaving us with the bill that was $857. So, we got back at them last night. We did a thing and pretty much sent ants into all of their rooms. It ended in us having a scrimmaging thing this morning against them. Mind you, since yesterday at the dinner Adam hasn't talked to me. At the game this morning it was rough, and at the fall of it all, Adam and Charlie got into a fight which led to the whole team getting into a fight." I explained.

"Did you get to fight them?" Beau asked.

"No, Scooter pulled me away from it before I could." I said a little bitter.

"Scooter? Isn't that Scott from Varsity?" Beau asked.

"Yeah." I said.

"You two are friends?" He asked.

"I don't know exactly what you call it, but I guess you could say that." I said.

"Never would've guessed that. But anyways, so you and Adam haven't talked since yesterday after one prank led to another?" Beau asked.

"Yeah." I said.

"That doesn't make since, are you sure he's mad at you?" Beau asked.

"No he never said it, but he looked mad last night and he wouldn't really look at me during the game." I said.

"Well last night, anybody would probably be mad. And maybe he was focused on the game, not necessarily you." Beau said.

"You could be right. But what if he's like super super mad at me and I make things worse by trying to talk." I said.

"I doubt that y/n. There's no way Adam is still mad at you. He's way past head over heels for you." Beau said.

"I guess." I said.

"I guess? Just talk to him. You'll regret it if you don't." He said.

"Fine, I will." I said.

"Good." He said. We walked in silence for a moment. "Ya know I should start charging you for this stuff."

"Charging me for what?" I said laughing a little.

"For being your therapist. Anytime something happens you end up ranting to me." Beau said.

"I don't rant that much." I said.

"You're joking right? You ranted to me on Thursday." He said.

"Well to be fair that teacher was being a total jerk and I was mad." I said.

"Yeah but still." He said.

"Yeah but still." I mocked. He rolled his eyes smiling and we walked in the classroom....

Adams POV

"Hey Adam wait up!" Someone said. I looked behind me to see Scooter jogging up to me.

"I need to talk to you." Scooter said when he got up to me.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"You tell me. What's going on between you and y/n?" He asked.

"Nothings going on." I said.

"Don't lie to me, you know you can just tell me what's happening." He said. I thought about it for a moment.

"I don't even know what's happening. I haven't talked to her since the dinner thing yesterday. I was mad at them yesterday, and her a little after the ant deal. I'm not mad at her or even the ducks anymore. I think she's mad at me, but she tried getting Charlie to not be mad at me so I don't know. I don't know about anything at this point." I said.

"Well Banks, I can stop you right there. She isn't mad at you. You need to talk to her." Scooter said.

"How do you know she's not mad at me?" I asked.

"Uh- don't ask questions." Scooter said. "Just talk to her, you two can't not talk to each other."

"So you're telling me you're 100% sure she's not mad at me." I said.

"Yes Adam, I'm 100% sure y/n is not mad at you." Scooter said.

"Alright I'm trusting you." I said. "But I gotta question."

"Hm?" Scooter responded.

"Why do you care about me and her not talking?" I asked.

"Well, you two are my friends and I don't feel like seeing you two hate each other." Scooter said.

"Wow, didn't know you cared that much about us." I said laughing a little.

"You act like I'm Cole, listen I gotta go, but promise me you'll talk to
y/n?" Scooter said.

"Promise." I said.

"Alright, see ya man." Scooter said turning right.

"See ya." I said.....

Y/n's POV

The game was about over and it was bad. Without Charlie and Fulton everything was falling apart. Goldberg had to be on defense. That wasn't normal. The final buzzer went off. The score was 4-2, Cardinals. All I know is I hate being captain. I'm gonna talk to coach about it soon. I would today, but I need to talk to Adam and the loss wasn't gonna put coach in the greatest mood. I went to the locker room with the rest of the team. I stalled a little while changing. I wanted to talk to Adam but I was nervous. I eventually walked out and looked around, Incase Adam was there. I didn't see any sign of him so I began walking to the dorm. I turned down the hall with my eyes on the floor. I was just kinda zoned out. I looked up and about lost it when I seen Adam. Wasn't expecting him to right there.

"Hey." He said awkwardly.

"Hey." I said.

"Can we go for a walk?" He asked.

"Yeah sure." I said. I opened my door and threw my bag in there. I walked out and began walking with Adam. The energy was very awkward to say the least. I wasn't mad at him, but I don't know if he's mad at me. We got outside of the doors and I felt him looking at me.

"Listen, I don't exactly know what to say. I don't know if you think I'm mad you, but I'm not. I never even meant for you to think that. You mean everything to me, and not talking to you feels like I'm in hell or something like that." Adam said.

"So you're not mad at me. At all?" I asked.

"No, do you not remember what I told you the other day after the whole frozen locker room thing?" He asked.

"What....oh wait. You said 'I could never be truly mad at you.' How did I forget about that?" I said.

"You have bad memory, but when I said that I meant it. I could never be that mad at you. You're my best friend and girlfriend. I want you in my life forever, I couldn't stand you being mad at me, and I can't even be mad at you." Adam said.

"Jeez you do like me a little don't you?" I said laughing a little.

"Maybe just a little." Adam said. We laughed a bit and I couldn't help but smile.

"Is there any chance you talked to Scooter about what was happening?" Adam asked.

"No..why?" I asked confused.

"Cause he told me that you weren't mad at me. Said he was sure of it, and that I needed to talk to you." Adam said.

"What? How did he figure any of that out." I said.

"I don't know, he just came up to me right before lunch." He said.

"I don't know how.......Beau." I said.

"What does beau have to do with this?" Adam asked.

"On the way to social studies I told him about it, not like I had a choice but anyways. I told him about it and he asked about Scooter, and if we were friends. And before he's told me Scooter was in his 5th period." I said.

"He really went and talked to Scooter to get us to talk." Adam said.

"At least he cares about us." I said.

"Well that's for sure." Adam said. "Wait I forgot to ask, did you get hurt in the fight this morning?"

"Sadly no. Scooter pulled me away before it even got big. I was gonna try and pull you and Charlie apart but scooter just yanked me away. He wouldn't let go of me til Orion showed up." I said bitterly.

"That's good." Adam said.

"Good?! I wanted to get rick and stop you and dumber from fighting." I complained.

"What if you had got hurt?" He asked.

"I had on padding Adam, I would've been fine. But no stupid scooter pulled me away. He's not stupid actually, but you get the point." I said.

"Oh you'll be fine, but what happened to Charlie and Fulton?" Adam asked.

"They quit. They left this morning." I said.

"That's why they weren't in any of the classes?" Adam asked.

"Yup. Now we're down two players." I said.

"Well.... technically you'll only be down one." Adam said.

"What?" I asked confused.

"Your favorite person got moved back to JV." Adam said.

"But Connie was never on Varsity.." I said so he playfully shoved my shoulder. "So you're really not on Varsity now?" I asked.

"Nope. Coach Turner told me this morning." Adam said smiling. I kinda scared him giving him a side hug, but I mean I was happy so it's fine.

"It's been lonely without you, it felt weird. The only thing we need now is Charlie, Fulton, Dean, and Jesse." I said.

"I bet Charlie and Fulton will be back  sooner or later." Adam said.

"Fulton, maybe. Charlie, I really don't know. He's pretty upset with Coach." I said.

"He'll get over it." Adam said.

"You're probably right." I said.....
