Jane Fox

I walk off the plane with my black backpack , swung over my shoulder. Couldn't even get a full step in before being swarmed by the media. Cameras flashing in my face and reporters spitting out  questions.

"Have you decided on what high school, you are going to attend?", one reporter yells from the crowd.

"This coming school year, I will be a Eden Hall Warrior. Axel Primrose and I are on full scholarship for the hockey program.", Using my right hand to put on sunglasses. The flashes are going to give me a headache.

"What happened to Bryce Cassidy? Did you three have a falling out?"

"Bryce will be furthering his education at a private school in Iceland. He is still Axel and I's best friend and will always be."

Before the reporters can overwhelm me with more questions, I'm ushered to a black SUV. I give one last wave to the media than slide into the back seat. "We will arrive at the Fox house in 25 minutes. Your bags have already been secured in the back.", the driver informs as he pulls the car out of the airport.

Pressing play on my walkman, I think back on my years at Albany. Seeing that I had just finished my fourth and final year at the Academy.

"Hi, I'm Axel!" "I'm Bryce.". Looking back and fourth between the two eleven year olds. Not knowing they would become my best friends in a matter of a week.

The sounds of footsteps bounce off the walls. Axel has his hand wrap around my wrist while Bryce is holding the other wrist. As they drag me throughout the dark halls of the academy. "Hurry up JJ!"

The cold air nips at my nose as we skate down the ice. This is the championship game against Russia. 4-4, with time ticking down. Phillip Cruz is in possession of the puck while Axel and I are distracted by checking opposing players into the boards. Throwing my body weight at #48, nobody is by me. 5....."Right here!". 4..... "Cruz launches the puck in the direction of JJ Fox."
3.....my stick meets the puck. 2..... I send the puck towards the goal, praying that it would go in. 1.....
the horn goes off, signally the goal.

I throw my head back laughing. As Axel attempts to sing 'Girls just want to have fun.' We are having a 'besties night', as Axel likes to call it. Gunnar and I broke up today. It was mutal but I was still difficult for me to get over him. Bryce is resting his forehead on my shoulder, laughing so hard. Between breathes, "It's...so...bad!". A body is thrown on top of us, "I'm not that bad. You guys are just bitches!". Axe attempts to shut us up but ends up making us laugh even harder.

"The league has finally come to a decision for this years MVP. This young player has shown exceptional talent and effort throughout the season. Has continually impressed us on and off the ice. She has definitely earned her title as the number one ranked hockey player in the world. Our very own JJ Fox is being presented with the MVP trophy as well as a plaque with #1. Representing her international ranking. We cannot wait to watch you grow for the next 2 years, and watch you accomplish many goals in life."

Currently Axel, Bryce and I are skating twenty laps around the practice rink as punishment while the rest of the team were showering. Struggling to breath because of how much jokes are going around about the team falling. Bryce thought it would be funny to trip Coach Fang while he skates onto the ice. Based off the idea, I suggest we tape the rest of teams skates . Watching them all pile up onto of each other was funny. "Dogpile!", Axel yells pulling me and Bryce onto the pile.
