Icelandic Love Gunner Stahl Story D2 Mighty Ducks

Ch7- Benched???!!

Katie's POV

I was running sprints outside when the rest of the team called me over. They were conditioning and asked me to join them. I accepted.

They were arguing when I joined in. "Come its not like we couldn't use the conditioning guys" I said. "Speak for yourself babe" Dean said. I was about to confront him when Adam said "Her name is Katie not babe." "Don't tell me how to talk rich boy" Dean yelled while pushing him.

Then we all started yelling at each other and fighting. When some kid yelled "Hey yo, team USA what are you gonna do today, a million jumpin jacks." Dean yelled back "This kids crazier than me" and everyone kept fighting so I tuned out.

*after playing street puck*

We were all arguing because Gordon wasn't here for the game yet. The ref said without I coach we have to forfeit. I saw Ms McKay and nudged Charlie. "What about Ms McKay." Charlie and I went over and convinced her.

*after game*

We were outside. Coach said "Ive had a lot of big distractions here in LA. This is a distraction." Coach was holding a cardboard cut out of himself. Then he lit a fire in a barrel. "This is a fire in a barrel." Then threw the cutout in. "This is a distraction in a fire in a barrel do you understand." We all cheered.

*time change to after practice*

I came back to the locker room after practice to get my headphones. I heard coach say "Now just think how you'd play with to good wrists." I saw Adam and coach talking so I hid.

"Coach...... Its just a little sore..... I'm ok." Adam replied. "I should have spotted it sooner I'm sorry man I wasn't doing my job," Coach. "Coach I'm fine I can play I swear," Adam.

"Ok here let's find out," Coach grabbed a hockey stick and handed it to Adam. Adam went to grab it with his good hand. "The other hand" coach said.

Adam grabbed it. "Now rotate it." Adam couldn't rotate it and dropped the stick. "I have bench you." "No coach you can't do that" Adam said. "Adam you could injure yourself permanently," I said coming out from behind the lockers.

"You can't bench me I gotta play there are scouts watching." Adam said. "Your young you're gonna have plenty of shots believe me," coach said. "But my dad's counting on me." Adam said.

"Oh Adam, I know how you feel trust me I rarely even get to see my dad so when he comes to a game I feel like I have to score a million points. But even if I don't I know he is proud of me he told me he's proud of me because I'm his daughter. And I know that's how your dad feels." I said

"Its good you feel that way because your benched to," coach says. "What why?" I said. "Lift up your shirt." I hesitantly did so revealing my big bruise. "That's why that's gotta really hurt." Coach says.

"Coach I'm fine it really doesn't I've had worse. Stannson has actually done worse." "Well that's terrible and I'm not Stannson so when that heals show me and you can play ok." Coach said. I nodded and coach left.

I turned around and hugged Adam. He immediately hugged back. "What's this for." He said I pulled apart. "Im usually not a hugger but you looked like you needed it." I said. "Thanks a lot Katie I really mean it." "Come on cakeater let's go."

*time skip after game against Russia*

I was in my room reading when someone knocked "come in" I yelled. "Oh hey Gunnar" I said as he walked in. "Hey how come you didn't play in the game against Russia." "Oh Bombay benched me because of this," I said while revealing my bruise.

"Oh" was all he said. He sat on my bed and we just talked all night till I fell asleep.

Authers note.
I am sorry there is not a lot of Gunnar in this chapter but I will try next chapter to put more romance in there.
