My POV
This was our second game and we was playing against another team, and of course Bombay had Goldberg pretend he was hurt on the ice, He was trying to fall to stop them from scoring but missed and the other team scored a goal.

We all sighed and shook our heads, Bombay looked a tad upset while Goldberg was aurging with the referee out there.

Goldberg dropped his helmet and glared at the referee. "Oh give me a break Ref, open your eyes! Did you see what he just did to me?!" Goldberg questioned, complaining while following the referee back to his bench where we were.

Bombay sighed and looked at him. "Goldberg." he said, waving his arms everywhere.

"What?" Goldberg replied, in an irritated voice.

"Don't take the fall while thier shooting at you!" Bombay says softly but in a disappointed voice.

Goldberg glared. "Oh! Well, I guess you didn't explain that very well did ya?" He said in anger and sarcasm as he was walking past him going back to sit down.

Goldberg was still mumbling and complaining under his breath about the ref not calling anything. "I throw myself on the ice-"

"I really think we should just play the damm game right and if we lose we just lose, ain't no reason to cheat." I said.

Ariana and Connie nodded in agreement. "Mhm exactly." Ariana said.

One of the Refs skating toward our bench. "District Five! cut the acting class. One more dive, and I will forfeit to The Jets!" He said in a serious tone and then skating away.

Our jaws dropped in shock we couldn't believe he was gonna do that. "Say what?!" I questioned in shock with my eyebrows raised.

Bombay was shook. "What?! I'm insulted by that!" Bombay yelled being offended.

"You should be, you egghead." I said rolling my eyes pissed that he thought cheating was the only way for us to win.

Charlie, Jesse, Averman and some others went out on the ice doing what they had to do I noticed Jesse slapped a player on thier butt which made me and Ari laugh our asses off.

Terry kept hitting Karp in the head with his hand jumping up and down excitedly. "Let's go! Let's go!" Terry says in an excited voice.

Karp gave him an angry look. "Quit it!" He snapped, which made me giggle.

I watched on the ice seeing Charlie almost get pushed into the boards beside another team player we were playing against, both of them were fighting over the puck with their hockey sticks.

While Jesse on the other hand was pushing and shoving someone on the boards.

The Referee blowed his whistle knowing that they were doing too much now. "Face-Off! Let's go!"

..

"Charlie!" Bombay yelled out loudly so he could hear him.

"Bombay, you not gonna get him to cheat are you?" I asked looking at him with a serious look.

He shurgged. "Maybe... oh I will." He replied.

I kicked on the side of his leg. "Don't!" I hissed.

It was too late, Bombay had already told Charlie everything he needed to do I'm already about to go on the Ice next so maybe I can tell him not to do it.

"That guy is twice your size, so the next time he gets you in a corner like that. I want you to grab your eye like it's cut and then hit the ice! You got it?" I heard Bombay say to him.

I gave Charlie a sad apologetic look at Bombay's behavior.

He gave me a small smile and skated back to the Ice, I could tell by his face that he didn't wanna be a cheater.

"Let's go! Face-off!"

"Okay even 'em up, Boys here we go." The Referee said, dropping the puck in the middle of the Ice.

Me and Ariana were charging down the ice playing the game correctly but we saw Connie get knocked over by a Jet Player. "Hey!" Connie yelled as she fell down.

We tried to go help her but we both ended up getting knocked down too. "Hey watch it!" I yelled.

Charlie was skating towards the end of the ice, trying to get the puck but before he could get it Two Jet players had him up against the boards which made it harder for him to get it out.

"No." I mouthed out to him shaking my head.

"That's it Charlie!" Bombay yelled, from the bench.

I crossed my fingers closing my eyes hoping he didn't listen to Bombay, I decided to open my eyes and saw Charlie use his skate to slide the puck to Guy I sighed of relief glad that he didn't do it because he's doing the right thing, playing fair.

"Yes!" I mouthed out rolling my eyes of relief.

Bombay was cursing under his breath balling his fist up. "Dammit Charlie!" He says very angrily gritting his teeth.

My POV
The Game was over and we all walked into the locker room disappointed and pissed, for me I was mad as hell.

"We can't even win when we cheat." Terry said shaking his head.

"Stupid cake-eater tricks!" Jesse said upsettlingly.

I groaned frustratingly under my breath and sat down on the bench throwing my helmet onto the floor. "Dumb! Just dumb." I said in annoyance.

"That was embarrassing." Connie said taking off her helmet.

Ari sighed under her breath and sat down beside me. "It was ridiculous!" She added.

Charlie's face looked sad I could tell he wanted to cry but Bombay started to yell out of nowhere following him. "Charlie! What the hell is the matter with you?!" Bombay questioned in a pissed off tone.

I stood up having enough of this. "Hey! Don't yell at him because you're mad at him, maybe if you weren't trying to get us to cheat everything would be okay but nooo you ju-" I said, until Bombay started to yell turning towards me.

"Shut Up Sania! This doesn't even concern you right now." Bombay snapped.

He pointed a finger at Charlie. "When I tell you to do something, you do it! You got it?!" Bombay says, currently still angry at him for messing up the game.

"Yeah, but he doesn't have to listen when he is told to cheat!" I added, folding my arms.

Charlie looked down sniffling, I wanted to just get up and hug him.

"Look at me." Bombay said sternly.

Charlie looked at him a little.

"You got it?" He asked repeating himself.

"You can't make me cheat!" Charlie snapped, storming past him throwing his helmet and stick to the floor while leaving the locker room in anger with his eyes watering.

I watched him go as my lips started curving into a sad frown. "You know, my mom and dad would not like the idea of you getting us to cheat in a game! your like a second father to me, and now I can't even look at you right now! I'll be waiting in the car." I said, dropping my hockey equipment in disappointment following Charlie out the door.

I didn't even care that I just revealed my secret about me being Bombay's illegal guardian, as I closed the door behind me I heard gasps and whispers from my teammates.

Bombay sighed trying to stop me from leaving. "Sania hold on a second-" Bombay says, trying to run after me but Jesse and Terry's dad had entered the locker room.

I continued to walk out the building slamming the passenger side car door angrily sitting there just folding my arms. Honestly I feel like quitting if we're gonna keep on doing this.
We need to play as a team! not being some lazy District Five Hockey Team.

The one thing I wish I had right now were my parents...just them.. cause I'm not sure how much I can take if this is gonna keep going on.
