U.S.A. VS ICELAND GAME

coach Bombay comes in looking all fancy.

"Woah look at you" I say laughing.

"He's stylin'! Mr Coach!" Connie laughs.

"Nice Jacket. Did you get two pairs with that?" Averman makes everyone laugh.

I see the bash brothers go with coach. They're talking to him? They both looks annoyed but it's none of my business anyway.

Once we were headed out to the ice, I was shaking. Charlie noticed and intertwines his fingers with mine. "It's okay! Just remember, I will always have your back." He brings me closer, putting his soft lips on mine.

________

"Remember to focus and play hard." Coach tells us.

"Amber! Start the face off!" Coach shouts.

I look at Charlie. He looks back at me, kissing me one more time. I nod and go onto the ice.

The guy in front of me speaks Icelandic.

"What does that mean?" I say back.

"You'll find out, princess" he reply's smirking.

Once the ref puts the puck in front of us, I immediately get pushed down hard onto the ice. I groan, getting up I rushed to get the puck.

I get the puck from him but he try's to take me down. Dean Portman comes and knocks him down. The ref blows the whistle. "Come on, fool! Get up!" Portman says. "You ran at him unprovoked." The ref says. "Huh?" Portman accidentally knocks down the ref. I roll my eyes. "Calm down, son. You're out of the game." The ref tells Portman. "Give me a break!" Portman says in defense. "You're throw in' him out? You can't do that! It's three seconds into the game!" Coach yells.

The Iceland guy gets the puck and passes it. I try to get it but I get knocked down...again. "Come and get it!" The Iceland shots and scores. I groan, throwing my head back. "Wake up, defense. Can't do this all myself!" Goldberg tells us in frustration.

"Hey, Goldberg! I bet if that puck was a cheeseburger, you'd stop it!" The random kid yells from the audience.

Throughout the game, everyone was getting knocked down, no one was scoring except Iceland, and Coach was getting pissed off.

Finally Dwayne gets the puck but takes FOREVER to pass it to Fulton. Coach is yelling/telling him to pass it but Dwayne is busy showing off. "WATCH OUT!!!" I yell to Dwayne but it was to late. Two Iceland guys crush him.

A Iceland guy was SO close to shooting but good old Goldberg saves it. THANK YOU GOLDBERG! Adam Banks gets the puck and passes it to me. I see Adam getting knocked down by the corner of my eye but he's fine.

I pass it to Luis. Bad idea. He's skating as fast as he can but doesn't stop, making him bump into the boards. "Come on, ref, call something" Luis gets up.

Next thing I know Ken Wu gets knocked down.

Iceland scores again.

Coach calls us over. "Where's our concentration? You guys are out there runnin' around like a bunch of chickens with your heads cut off! Coach says in frustration. "We're doin' our best." Jesse defends. "Well, your best isn't good enough anymore. Blow this game and we are one loss away from elimination. You guys might want to go home early, but I sure as heck don't." Coach walks away. "My, that was inspiring." Averman says rolling eyes.

It's the third and finale period. I was trying my best but the Iceland team is way more bigger and better. Banks starts the face-off. He was about to get knocked down but he stops it. The Iceland team has the puck and scores. I groan and skate by the Iceland team, rolling my eyes. "Trying your best, huh? We'll try better, little girl!" Sanderson pushes me. "Hey! Come on, leave her alone!" Charlie pushes him. "Just let it go, Charlie." I say dragging him with me.

"YOU'RE OFF. GOLDBERG!" Coach yells.

Next thing you know Julie gets taken out of the game too.

"Fulton! Get out there and blast one! Go on in!" Fulton gets out of the box and goes onto the ice.

Dwayne passes it to Fulton. He shots but the other team stops it. "It's okay, Fulton." I say, patting his back.

Banks gets the puck. He skates to the goal.... AND SCORES!!! "Yeah, we got one!" Adam puts his hand out and Sanderson hits his wrist with his stick. I skate over to Adam. "Are you okay!" I ask grabbing his wrist. "Yeah, I'm okay." He smiles.

Charlie try's to score next but misses :(.

Iceland: 12

U.S.A.: 1

I skate over to Charlie. "Those are some dicks" I chuckle. We go into the locker room.

"Are you okay, Adam?" I ask sitting next to him.

"Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks" I smile.

Coach comes in slamming the door causing me to jump.

"Twelve to one? Twelve to one! You know what word come to mind when you think of that? Hmm? Pathetic! You guys were brought here to play hockey." Coach yells. "What about you?" Jesse defends. "What about me, Jesse?" Coach reply's. "Coach Stansson knew everyone about us, they were ready for us." Julie says. "Yeah and you spend your time driving around in convertibles talking to all those sponsor fools. Luis finally says.

"Or hanging with the Iceland lady. We saw you two Saturday night." Fulton also defends. "Eating ice cream with the energy, huh, Coach?" Portman says.

"What? You gotta be kidding me!" I yell.

"Hey! Hey! What I do is none of your business is that clear? And Amber! It's your fault this happened!" Coach yells, pointing at me.

"It's not her fault!" Charlie defends me.

"Yeah!" Everyone else says.

Coach stays quit.

We start taking off our pads.

"Don't take those pads off! Everyone stay in your gear, we have practice." He says.

I roll my eyes and groan.

"Tonight?" Goldberg says confused.

"Line up!! 20 sprints. Go!" He blows the whistle.

After the twenty sprints, we took a break. Charlie starts talking to coach but I have no idea what he's saying.

I sit down next to Adam, gasping for air.

"Are you okay?" Adam asks concerned.

"Yeah. Yeah I'm okay. It's just fucking Coach Bombay." Adam chuckles.

"20 more sprints! Go! Line up Charlie." Coach blows the whistle.

After practice I had to stay to do 30 more. I was so tired. I could barely even walk. I see Charlie sitting down waiting for me. "Charlie? What are you doing here. It's late, you should be sleeping." I say walking up to him. "I was waiting for you. Come on, I'll give you a piggy back ride." I get on his back and we make it to our dorm. He lays me down on my bed. He kisses my forehead and lays down next to me.
"Goodnight Charlie." I say laying my head on his chest.
