Vania POV

We were in the meeting"Do I have a motion for reconsideration ? I'm sorry, Coach, but unless there is a motion from a board member... and a second,the decision must stand." Buckley said

"You leave us no choice but to bring in our attorney." Coach Orion said. We all just smirk and look where Coach Bombay was coming in.

"Dean Buckley, members of the board. As counsel for Coach Orion... and the freshman hockey team, I'm here today to set forth your legal options, so that you may make the best possible decision for all parties concerned." Coach Bombay said walking in.

"Mr. Bombay, this isn't a legal proceeding." Buckley said

"Not yet, but I can assure you that it will be. Do you mind" Coach Bombay said pulling out our scholarships

"These scholarships an offer became a binding contract upon the signatures of the recipients... and acceptance by the Ducks.They cannot be voided except for cause which, I guarantee you, you have none. Should you decide to pursue their cancellation, I will slap you with an injunction. I will tie this matter up in court for years, until long after these kids have gone on to college. And I will collect damages. I will win. Because I am very, very good. You know why I'm so good? Because I had a good education. You gave it to me. And you're gonna give it to these kids." Coach Bombay walked up to Buckley

"He is good." Coach Orion whispered to Charlie

"Just gettin' started." Charlie reply.

"Now some of you may be snobbish enough to believe that... these Ducks don't belong at Eden Hall. Let me tell you, you are dead wrong. These are remarkable young people. You give them their full shot, and I promise you they will succeed. Not only on the ice, but in the classrooms as well. These people are my friends, and I know what they can do. Accordingly, I demand that you reinstate their scholarships, for their benefit and for your own." Coach Bombay finish

"I move that the scholarships... be reinstated." Some lady said

"Is there a second ? All in favor ? Scholarships reinstated." Buckley told us. And we all cheer. We all started to walk out of the room.

"I've got some business in Chicago, but I'll be back soon. If you need anything, give me a call." Coach Bombay told me and Charlie

"All right." Charlie reply

"Okay? I mean it. Vania, the cops are close to confessing" Coach Bombay told me and I just nod.

"Yeah. Thanks again, Coach." Charlie reply

"Hi, Charlie." Linda walked to Charlie. I quickly took Adam arm and hooked it with Charlie.

"Hey. " Charlie said but was quick to see at Adam. Both of them blushed. Linda looked hurt.

"Hey Linda" I hooked my arm with hers.

"Hey Vania. I'm glad that you guys are staying" Linda said.

"Congratulations... in destroying our school." Riley said walking up to us.

"Hey, look, it's our school too." Charlie reply

"It's everyone's school, you stupid jock." Linda reply

"No, it'll never be your school. Don't you get it ? You're our own little affirmative action, brought in for color to entertain us. But you couldn't even do that. Your fancy lawyer kept you in on a technicality, but you'll never belong. You'll never be anything more... than a bunch of rejects here on a free ride." Riley taunted

"Free ride ?Look at you, rich boy ! Mummy and Daddy gave you everything, huh ?" Russ said

"Hey,J.V.-Varsity game's on Friday. Then we'll show the whole school what a joke you really are. Then maybe you'll leave on your own. It'd be the only honorable thing to do." Riley said

"You know we're gonna hurt you." Cole taunted

"Listen, you guys had an unfair advantage last time. You had one of us: Banksie." Charlie reply

"Oh, well, keep him. He never had the heart of a Warrior anyway." Riley shrugged

"Exactly because he has a heart of a Duck." I answer. Everyone looked shock that I said that.

"Excuse me" Mindy said.

"Hey, Biff, one more thing. After we beat you, the Warriors die and the Ducks fly." Russ took the attention from me. Which I'm so grateful for.

"Hey, anything you say, loser. Hmm ?" Riley reply walking away.

"Good move, Russ. Make 'em even madder. Charlie, we gotta do something, man." Averman said

"Yeah, you're right. We've gotta get to work." Charlie reply and we all walked to the rink.
