We are at our game against the hawks. I look over to Avers and I can tell he's nervous. So, I squeeze his hand and tell him, "It's gonna be alright." He gave me an unsure look as we saw Larson and Mcgill come over to the box.

"Hi girls.", they hissed snarkily. Averman and I just stood there disgusted while everyone else turned into a mass of angry rage monsters.

Coach came over and started copying the Hawks and starts saying, "Win, win, win, win, win."

None of us joined, but then me and Aves started chanting with him while laughing, "Win, win, win, win, win."

Charlie decided that we would hit Goldie's legs since the hawks were doing it.

Hehe, I thought I would hit him as hard as I could, he replied, "Aww, man seriously!"

Charlie was after me he must have hit him hard too, "Aww, sorry man I didn't mean to."

"I didn't mean to knock you on the ground sure, sure."

"Yeah, sure, you're on my own team!"

"Yeah, no, problem!"

Charlie repeatedly hit Goldie in the head, "Oh, sorry, Goldberg. Didn't mean to."

"Would you get off me before I clock you?"

It's time for the game. Me, Aves, and Connie were on the bench.

Averman started chanting and I joined in, "Um, batter, batter, hum, batter, batter! Hey, batter, batter, swing, batter, batter! Hum, batter, batter, swing, batter, batter!-"

"Averman and Adrian! It's hockey! There's no batter you idiots!"

We started chanting again, "Hum, goalie, goalie, hum, goalie, goalie! Hey, goalie, goalie, save, goalie, goalie! Hum, goalie, goalie, hey, goalie, goalie!"

Coach just walked off.

Then they started the game.

Mcgill got the face-off and passed then pushed Guy over.

Our defense sucks, they scored, oh and so does our goalie.

They started playing 'We will rock you'. Coach has to put me in this is my song!

Charlie took the puck and took it up the ice, "All right!" Coach said.

I looked at him and said sadly, "It's Spaz-way. He'll screw it up. Don't get your hopes up."

As I predicted Charlie completely missed the puck and ran into the wall. Banks came and pressed Charlie against the wall.

"Nice fan, Charlie. Keep swingin'. Maybe you'll give em a cold."

"I'm so embarrassed.", Connie said.

"We need a new goalie.", Said Averman.

"Preach it, Aves.", I replied.

The games over, I didn't get to play at all! The score was 17-0. I bet you if I was in I could make it 12-3. That still isn't good though. My parents are gonna be so mad.

We were all arguing.

Then Coach screamed, "Hey, shut up! You guys stink! I thought we came here to play hockey."

We laughed.

"Oh, you think it's funny? You think losing is funny?"

"Well, not at first, but once you get the hang of it."

(Averman)

"We're the ones out there gettin' our butts kicked."

(Jesse)

"Yeah, it's not like you coach us or anything. At least we tried."

(Terry)

"Or let some of us of the bench."

(Adrian)

"You all didn't listen to a word I said. I said, keep your heads up. You put your heads down. I said, hustle. You went slower! That was the sloppiest playing I've ever seen. And Adrian you sat because you kept giving me attitude. Why won't you just listen to me?"

I replied, "Why should we?"

"I don't care. You wanna lose, fine. You're the ones who look like idiots out there."

"You know, why are you even here? You just showed up out of nowhere, and you hate us!", I replied

Coach just walked off. Everyone just sighed.
