Today we were having our state final game.
The game was tied 3-3, I was face to face with one of the other teams players, waiting for the ref to drop the puck.
As soon as the puck was in the ice I quickly stole it and passed it to my teammate and we started skating toward the net.
One of the other teams player stole the puck and started on a breakaway. Our goalie came out to try and block the player from getting closer to the net but he got around him.
I start skating as fast as I can towards the other player. It felt like my skates were almost on fire by how fast I was going. Just as I was about to reach the net the player shoots the puck, I quickly dive in front of the net blocking stopping the puck
I quickly got up and start skating down the rink with the puck. The crowd was going wild!
The announcer spoke. " Skyler the sky shooter had just saved a amazing shot saving her team the state finals game. And is now skating down the rink with the puck."
As I was skating down the rink and saw that one of my teammates were open and passed to them right before getting slammed into the board by 3 of the other team players.
"The fuck" I mutter
I got up fast and skated to the goal as my teammates were passing back and forth. One of them passes to me and I made a amazing shot going strait into the net.
The buzzer rings signaling the end of the game and my goal!
The crowd shot up cheering and clapping as my teammates skated towards me shouting and celebrating.
After my team and I got off of the ice there were people waiting wanting photos. My coach lead us over to coaches from other teams. They came around talking to my teammates and I.
I had multiple coaches asking if I would like to join there team, but only one of them caught my attention.
"Skyler would you like to join team USA" I shot up from me slouching looking for who had said that.
" who said that" I asked
I then saw a tall man in a black suit come up to me.
"I am Don Tibbles and I am offering you a spot on team USA if you want to be one the team"
This was my dream to be on team USA.
"Yes I would love to thank you so much!"
"Great we are leaving in 7 hours, make sure you are packed and say your goodbyes."
"Ok again thank you so much for this opportunity!" He just smiled and walked off and then I started to head home.
Once I got home I packed all my things and ran over to the sandlot.
As soon as I walked onto the field they all started attacking me with questions, like " did you win", "what was the score"and "what happened"
"Ok ok just listen! We won the game 4-3 and after it ended a guy named Mr. Tibbles came up to me and asked me to join team USA!"
They all started cheering but then after fully understanding what I said they went silent.
"That is great Sky but when are you leaving to go play for the team?" Benny asked
" That's the bad part I am leaving in 6
hours." They all looked at me with sad faces.
"Wha-what" Ham said.
"Of course you are leaving us now like always" Kenny said as they all agreed even Benny!
Benny is my best friend and he agreed with what Kenny said!
"What is that supposed to mean? I knew you guys would be sad but what are you talking about?" I ask
"You never can hang out with us anymore and now you are leaving! Do you even care Sky? Are we even your friends?" Benny asks hurt
"Of course you are my friends! I have hung out with you guys almost everyday of my life...but this is a one in a lifetime chance and I finally get to do something that makes me happy! And you guys don't support it, because if it's not baseball you guys don't like it!" I yelled at them
"We never liked you in the first place! None of us did! We only hung out with you because you were good at baseball and I have a crush on one of your best friends! That is the only reason we ever even talked to you!"
Benny fired back as the others agreed.
It felt like my heart had shattered into pieces. My childhood friends that I had known my whole life were only ever using me, my crush Benny just admitted to using me just to get with my best friend. It felt like I was about to collapse onto the ground. Tears brimming my eyes.
I walk up to Benny
"Your are such a fucking liar and an asshole" I said slapping him hard, leaving a very evident red hand print.
" You guys just wait and see how big I get! You guys will regret using me and treating me like fucking shit! I hope you all rot in hell!"
I shout
As soon as I knew the could not see me anymore I started sprinting home crying thinking about everything that has happen to me in the pass 3 hours. I almost never cry but these were the people I grew up with and they just used me.
When I got home my eyes were still puffy red from the crying. But I ignored it and went to tell my mom the news
"Mom I have to tell you something" I said.
"What do you want slut" she yelled at me from the kitchen table drinking wine.
"I am going to be joining a hockey team called team USA and I will be leaving today" I told her wondering how she would respond.
"Thank god I have been waiting for you to leave for forever" she celebrated swinging her arms in the air
I can't lie I was happy she didn't say anything else I thought as I walked to my room.
I made sure I had everything ready to go I quickly got my anti depression medicine and shoved it into my bag.
I decide that I should leave a note to my mom before I left telling her how much I loved her and that I will miss her, I know she is not a good mom but she still gave me food, water, and a house to live in and even though she is a drunk, I still wanted to tell her. I also wanted to make sure she knows where I was.
I tape my note to the fridge and walk out of my house.
I saw a car waiting at the front of my house to pick me up to drove me to the airport. I hopped in and made small talk with the driver until we reached the airport.
I am scared because I have only been on a plane once, and this is also my first time flying by myself. I put in my earbuds and start to listen to music to get my mind off everything and ended up falling asleep.
Hours later the person next to me woke me up thankfully.
I arrived in Minneapolis where I would see Mr Tibbles again and hopefully meet my other teammates then go on another plane before arriving at our final destination.
I was looking for Mr. Tibbles but I could not see him anywhere, a few minutes later I saw him in a black suit standing next to some other kids my age so I walked over.
"Ok this is the last person we were waiting for, Skyler Johnson! Now lets get this show on the road!" He snickered and started walking
I quickly noticed there was another girl and went right up to her.
"Hi I am Skyler!"
"Oh my god I am so happy there is another girl here! I was worried I was going to be stuck with all boys! thank god there is another girl, also my name is Julie." She said making me laugh and nod
We both talked the whole ride there and we got to know who the boys were. There names where Ken Wu, Dean Portman, and Luis Mendoza who I found very cute and I think he even was flirting with me but I couldn't tell.
When we arrived at the hotel Julie and I were going to share a room, and the boys all gonna share one.
As soon as we got into our rooms we both passed out on our beds.
I didn't think I could be this happy to go to sleep.
The outfit you wore on the plane is up to
