Hockey's Our Game

Chapter 16

Mia and I pulled up to school got out, she drove today and we went to first period commons and we turned in our ID’s and sat down by our friends Simon, Nate. Normally Holden is here but he’s probably gonna be late.

“Damn Tor, she got you good” Simon said. He’s one of my good friends; he’s a lot taller than me and has brown hair and brown eyes. He is also a computer nerd but he has friends and is really social.

“Yeah, it hurts worse than it did yesterday” I said.

Nate wouldn’t stop staring “it’s so gross looking but cool at the same time. You don’t get cool injuries in swimming like that.” Nate is the same height as me and has dirty blonde hair and brown eyes, and yes he is a swimmer, he’s really good too.

“Thanks, but this didn’t even happen on the ice, she told me she was quitting and decked me in the face and walked away” I told them.

“You didn’t even try to fight back?” Nate asked.

I shook my head “why?” Simon asked.

“She was leaving and is gonna get killed on her new team so I let her have this one, I just didn’t fight back” I told them all yawning.

“How much sleep did you get?” Mia asked.

“Not enough, I kept waking up because it hurts a lot”

“I want to knock Charlie on her ass so bad but I know her new team will do a fine job of that because everyone on Fury hates her so she’s not gonna be like on the new one.”

I smiled a little “yeah I hope so”

“Look your superman is here” Nate said pointing to Holden who came in 20 minutes late.

“Hey guys, did we have homework-” he saw my face “what happened?” he sat down next to me and looked at my face.

“Charlie happened” I said.

“What’d a bitch” he said and I laughed a little “do we have homework for AP lit?” he asked me.

I nodded “we had to do that love quiz thing” I said and he pulled it out.

“Ok good I did it, so I’m good” he smiled and then looked at me “does it still hurt?”

“A lot more than yesterday” I yawned again.

“Go home then” he told me.

“I have a presentation to give next period so I’ll leave after that” I rubbed my jaw.

“Is it your jaw that hurts or your lips?” he asked worried about me.

“Both, more so my jaw than my lips right now” I said

“Hey Tori and Mia there’s someone in the office for you guys” Emma Hillman said to us “oh my god your face, are you ok?”

She was a sweet person “thanks and sort of but I’ll live but thanks for caring.”

“No problem but you should go home you really don’t look good” she was genuinely worried.

“I will after my APUSH presentation” I said getting up and going to the office with Mia.

We walked in the office and it was the coach from Miami and another women “hey man” Mia said shaking his hand and the lady’s hand.

“Hey guys” I said shaking their hands also.

Mr. Sargent came out and smiled, he knew something “ladies to my office please” he said and we all made our way into the office and sat down. “Welcome back Mr. Hansen and welcome Mrs. Kurt. This is Tori Brooks and Mia Richards” he introduced us to Mrs. Kurt.
