I looked up at the gates of Eden Hall; this was going to be great. This had to be the fifth school I've been in; of course it hadn't been my fault. My dad had pulled me out of my original grade school and we moved to New York. Then after a stint at a public middle school I went to some prep school for seventh and eighth grade. It wasn't all-bad, I met a boarding student, and I was just a day student, named Langston Alan Banks.
"Hey baby, you scared?" a voice said behind me. I jumped and turned around; LA was just standing there grinning.
"LA, where the hell have you been. You left me here, in city where I could get lost! Shame on you!" I joked.
"Aw DC don't get pissy. I had to go. Gotta see the folks…telling them that I'll be keeping my stuff here, and trying to stay away from my brothers. Damn the two older ones are mean. Haven't left for college yet. Needlessly to say, they don't like my look very much," LA grinned at me, running his hand through his dyed blue hair.
"Well since today is moving day madness…you want to help me set up my shit into the dorms?" I asked him. He shrugged and we walked our merry way into the dorms. When I first came to the city, people were waiting for us and gave us a map and took our bags, saying that we didn't need to check in until 3:00 that day. It was nearing 2, so I decided to actually set up my room.
When LA and myself finally found it, we saw a girl already in there. "Hi, I'm Julie," she said, holding out her hand.
"DC, this is my guy LA," I shook it and she cocked her head when she heard the names.
"Did you guys just name yourselves after cities?" she asked. I just grinned.
"Naw, my real name is Dawn Claire, and his is Langston Alan. You can see why we changed it," I explained, she just nodded.
"I gotta go, see ya around!" she left the room and LA and I just stood there.
"Well lets get crackin'!" He exclaimed and dove for one of the boxes.
An hour and a half later we both checked in and LA was heading to the hockey rink, carrying both his and my stuff. I was heading to the dining hall to grab some food for us, considering neither of us had lunched. I was walking out of the dining hall when I heard a guy come up behind me.
"Hey good looking…what are you doing tonight?" he said, I turned around and looked at the mysterious guy. But then again, he wasn't so mysterious to me.
"Listen Mendoza, you may be a hockey player…but that doesn't impress me. So go fuck yourself, I have a boyfriend," with that I turned on my heel and walked off.
Luis just walked over to his friends. Adam Banks just grinned at him. "I told you, I told you…not to mess with her."
Luis just glared at the blonde boy, "How would you know?" he scoffed.
"She looked like my little brother's girlfriend," he was going to say more, but everyone looked at him.
"You have a little brother?" Charlie looked at him, he hadn't known this, and he had known the guy for five years plus.
"Yup, you think I'm a rebel in my family, wait until you meet him. He's the black sheep," Adam shrugged and put his arm around his girlfriend, Shea "Devil" Portman (please look at endnotes for explanation).
"So is this like a chance for another bash brother, that is, if he's as good as a hockey player as you are," Fulton asked, wanting to meet this potential player.
"He doesn't play first line center, he's an enforcer like Portman, his girlfriend too. She's a little wild one. Met her once, the first time too, she checked me," Adam grimaced at the thought.
The ducks watching me go down the path and turn out of their view
Stepping into the ice rink, I spotted LA. He was shooting pucks into one of the goals. He had a mean shot, and was good against our old goalie, but that skill didn't compare to his skill as an enforcer. That's how we met actually. We both were trying out for the same position, leading us to be enemies. The good thing is, the position went to neither of us so soon we became friends, wanting to get on the team the next year. One thing lead to another and by the next year we were going out and both on the team.
I had been playing hockey since I was little…always trying to do what my older siblings were trying to do. God I missed them, I moved to New York when I was in sixth grade. I had been playing for a long time and skating even longer…it was nice to find someone who matched my ability, dedication and love for the ice. I met his family when we had 'graduated' from Lincoln Academy. His family didn't like me very much, I didn't know why…I mean, my father was a wealthy businessman and I was dressed appropriately, except for the fact that my hair was dark green, my favorite color. We both earned scholarships to Eden Hall, where LA's brother goes.
About an hour later LA were warming up and playing tag on the ice when we heard some people come into the rink. "Langston, come over here, want you to meet some people!" someone called. I saw LA grimace when he heard his real name, must have been his brother…he was the only one who knew us and had enough balls to call LA that too.
"Everyone, this is my little brother, Langston and his girlfriend DC," Adam said.
"Hey Julie!" I waved and she waved back.
"Langston, DC…I guess you met Julie…but there is Charlie, Averman, Goldberg, Connie, Guy, Fulton, Dwayne, Luis, Kenny, Russ, and the Portman twins. This is Shea," he pointed to the girl that was standing next to him, "and that's Dean…we just call him Portman. He and Fulton are the Bash Brothers."
Langston looked at me; "Hey…ain't your last name--"he didn't get a chance to finish the sentence.
"Tag…you're it!" I grinned at him and skated off.
Disclaimer: I own no one, save DC and LA…my friend Kayla (The French Leprechaun) owns Shea. Please read D4: Devil to understand this fic fully. Even though Kayla's story begins at the beginning of the school year and the ends at the end of the school year, her and D3 are going to be smooshed into one year. I also do not own the Mighty Ducks or anything associated on them except the first two movies, I will be getting the third one some time soon…
Thank you for reading, and please review.
