Rylan Fowler | Adam Banks

Dreadful Practice| 1

" Rylan get up we are going to be late for practice!" Adam Banks yelled from in front of Rylan Fowler's house.  He had all of his hockey gear with him as well.

" Shut up!  I'll be down in a second just wait two minutes!" Rylan yelled down to him.

Rylan Fowler and Adam Banks have been best friends since pretty much the day that they were born, their parents were also best friends (both of their dads were friends since they were kids).  They both have played since they could walk and are both very competitive, and they both play for the Hawks, they both are the best on the team along with their friends Mcgill and Larsson.  They all do everything together such as rollerblading around town, going to the dinner, and of course bullying District 5.  

Rylan put on some nice baggy jeans that had a few to many wholes and a nice graphic T-shirt and threw her hair into a nice high ponytail.  She grabbed her hockey bag and ran out the door, where she met her best friend Adam Banks.

"Geez how long does it take for you to get ready, you take forever," Adam said loading the trunk with their hockey bags.  "You know we are just going to practice not a fashion show"

" Oh shut up it takes time to look this good and I know that we are going to practice, besides I dress like this everyday," Rylan responded closing her door in the car.

" Good morning Rylan how are you sweetie?" Mrs. Banks asked Rylan while starting the engine.

" Morning Mrs. Banks, and I'm good just a bit tired from SOMEONE yelling at me this morning."  Rylan responded eyeing down Adam.

Adam just looked down at his feet while a smile started to creep onto his lips.  Rylan just couldn't help but laugh at him.  Which caused him to start laughing aswell, then everybody started to laugh.  

Once they got to the arena they grabbed their equipment and headed to the arena where they met Mcgill and Larsson.

" Hey guys!" Rylan said getting a fist pump from the two boys.

" Sup Fowler, you two ready for practice this morning I heard Coach say that it's going to be a hard core one," Mcgill said to them as they walked to the change rooms.  

" Oh HELL no I am not in the mood to be doing a hard core practice at 7:00 in the morning, I'm barely awake.  I can't do a hard core practice if I'm barely awake!" The girl exclaimed while putting her pads on.

" Rylan shut up you are the most hardworking person on the team you're always playing hockey outside all the time and do WAY too much extra hockey training.  I'm pretty sure a two hour practice won't kill you." Adam told her while tying his skates.

Rylan didn't say anything she just stuck up her middle finger to him while she finished tying her skates.  

When she finished she headed onto the ice, she was the first one done so she had the ice to herself for a little bit until the rest of her team came.  She shot the puck a few times in the net all of them hitting insane speeds and landing perfectly back on the ice.  Adam, Mcgill, and Larsson then joined her a few moments later on the ice and decided to join her.  

During practice Rylan was putting so much effort into it that she was starting to feel light headed.  Their coach was working them too hard at this point, even though they were the best team in the league their coach always works them like they're in the NHL.  But Rylan didn't give up she wanted to get better, her coach new that she would make it very far in hockey because pf her talent.  She had an amazing shot, she could skate at an incredible speed, and her puck handling skills were immaculate.  Her and Adam were the best on the team every one knew it, they were like a dynamic duo on the ice.  Both of their parents pushed them very hard, and they both play very hard on the in case there are scouts in the audience.

When practice was finally over the team went back to the dressing room to get undressed.

" Holy shit that was a hard practice.  I don't think I will be able to walk for the next week my legs hurt that much it was such a dreadful practice." Rylan said while sitting on the bench in the change room

" I feel you I'm so tired I could fall asleep right now on this bench and never wake up," Larsson said pretending to lie down on the bench.

Rylan got undressed and put her clothes back on and headed out of the arena to meet Mrs. Banks at her car while they waited for Adam to hurry up.  While they waited Rylan was telling Mrs. Banks about the practice that they had and how tired she was.  

" You know sweetie you don't need to work yourself that hard it's just a practice, it' s not like you are being tested or something.  Hockey is meant to be played for fun nit for who can skate the fastest, or who can shoot the puck the fastest.  You and Adam need to realize that the game is not a competition, I know that both of your fathers are counting on you to play your hardest and everything, but just know that you don't need to work crazy hard.  You might injure yourself doing so." Mrs. Banks told her while putting her bag in the trunk.

Once Adam finally came out of the arena they went home, but Rylan couldn't stop thinking of what Mrs. Banks had told her earlier, what if she was right what if she is taking the sport to seriously rather than playing it for fun.  

" Hey Rylan you ok there, you seem a bit off?" Adam asked her .

" Oh yeah I'm fine just a bit tired from practice you know," She responded while giving him a soft smile, then returning to look out of the window.

Mrs. Banks drove them to the Banks house where Rylan and Adam went into the basement.  The Banks and the Fowlers are both neighbors so they are always at each others house.  

The two then proceeded to play some video games fro a little while until Rylan had to leave for dinner.

" Oh crap I'm late for dinner, sorry Banks gotta go see ya later!" Rylan yelled as she sprinted up the stairs and out of the house.  " Thank you for driving me to practice Mrs. Banks but I need to go for dinner see you later!" She waved then left the house closing the door behind her.

" Goodbye darling see you tomorrow!" Mrs. Banks waved goodbye to the brunette while locking the door behind Rylan.
