Hate > Love {A Rick Riley Love Story}

Anettes pov

Lunch came around, and I got introduced to all the ducks in the way to the cafeteria. I sat between Julie and Adam, casually talking and occasionally eating , getting to know the rest of the team. "Oh, Annette! I saw Orion in the hallway before lunch and talked to him about you, he said come around for practice and he'll see what he can do." Connie says.

"You'll be joining j.v? Niceeeeee." Averman sticks his fist out for a fist bump and I laugh, fist bumping him. "Hey, why's Rick giving us a dirty look?" Fulton asks, adverting my attention to Rick at the Varsity table and rolling my eyes. "Probably because he's in loOoOve with our girl Annette and was butt hurt that she said 'fuck you' to him." Adam laughs, and the others do too, yet way more obnoxiously.

Connie walks over to the table and looks around for a spot when we both realize there's none left. "Shit, you can have my spot Connie, I was done anyway. I should probably meet my teachers a bit earlier anyway." I start to get up but Adam quickly stops me right away. "Wait! I mean, uhm, why don't we just share a spot, you don't have to leave yet?" He offers.

I chuckle, raising my eye brow, "Banks, if we share a seat, I'd practically be on your lap, not that I'm complaining." I wink at him as a joke. "I'm not complaining if you aren't." He jokes back, and gives me and nod, so with little to no hesitation, I take a seat on his lap at the team wolf whistles as a joke, hollering our names.

"Rick, might wanna see something." Cole laughs, signaling over to the j.v. table. Turning my head, I see Annette on Adam Banks' lap, the other little duckies cheering away. What the hell? Why was she being to friendly with Banks? I looked away, pretending to be unbothered, "What about them?" I huff and Scooter laughs. "Rick, you're a horrible liar, we can all tell you're pissed."

"Whatever, c'mon." I get up and the others follow as we make our way in front of the j.v. table.

Annette looked at Rick, clearly irritated, but then smirked. Just as he was about to speak, she cut him off, "You're obsessed, just let it go." "Your dead to me."  Rick spat. "Why you so obsessed with me? I'd really like to know, it's clear that your upset with, everybody knows." Rick huffs and walks away, the ducks laughing and high giving her.

Annette hears Adam sigh happily, and she follows his gaze to a girl with short blonde hair and freckles, dressed in a button up shirt and red sweater vest, a matching red skirt and thigh hig white socks, red Mary Janes on her feet. "She's pretty, does Banksie have a crush?" Annette questions and Adam denies right away, "What? No! I mean, no, no definitely not."

"Sure, anyways could you come over after practice? Chemistry is kicking my ass." Adam laughs and agrees. School goes on and finally it's time for dreaded practice. They gear up in the locker room with the occasional chat and begin to head out to the ice. Varsity was practicing so the ducks plus Anette just watch them, Annette sandwiched between Adam and and Averman.

The team chats but all Annette could focus on was the amount of champion ships hanging from the ceiling. "Sure got a lot of champions." "They're not so hot." Charlie counters. "C'mon guys we could skate out there." Connie says. On the ice, Rick, Cole and Scooter group up. "My dad says it was all just a publicity stunt, but it's gonna wind up killing the schools reputation." Rick informs.

"Yeah, them rejects should have stayed on their own side of the tracks." "Those rejects, genius," Scooter corrects, "Besides, we don't have tracks, Cole. You see there's no trains, therefore no tracks. Do you get that?" Cole huffs, "Well they should stay out of our school." "Yeah, all except Annette." Scooter teases, looking at Rick. "Whatever Scooter, she's a traitor anyway."
