chapter 16
stop kicking sand in my face

————— ————— ————— —————

I did my morning routine then made my way to the locker room. As I walked towards the locker room, some of Iceland walked out of theres. Gunnar said something in Icelandic but I could tell by the tone it wasn't good.

They shoved me into a wall then walked past me, "Asshats." I whispered under my breath as I walked into the locker room. I was the first one in there so I got changed. Everyone else came in and changed.

"Good morning." Luis said as we walked out to the ice. "Good morning." I replied kissing him on the cheek. "How did you sleep?" He asked. "Decently, how about you?" I responded. "I slept good, your eye any better?"

I slightly touched me eye, "Yeah it's a bit better." I smiled. He smiled back and then we started practicing. After a bit Bombay yelled, "Everyone come over here and take a knee!" I skated over then took a knee next to Luis.

"Iceland is bigger then us but we can easily beat them if we try." He pepped up. "Vivian." He said catching my attention, I rose my eyebrow in confusion. "I want you to try getting by Portman and Fulton." He said.

"What do you mean?" I questioned. "I'll give you the puck you'll start at that goal." He replied pointing to one goal. "Portman and Fulton will be defending and you have to get by them so you can score." He continued on.

"But why me?" I asked. "Iceland will be gunning after you by the way they treated you, so get practice in. All right everybody over to the benches!" He yelled. I stood up skated over to the goal. Goldberg was the goalie and I've scored against him every time.

Dean and Fulton got ready while everyone was watching. "You ready?" Bombay asked putting the puck down behind the net. I nodded my head and he went back over to the benches. He gave me a thumbs up for a signal and I skated towards the right.

I skated down the ice then bam! I was on the ice in under a second. "Sorry about that!" Fulton said helping me up. "Alright try again!" Bombay yelled. I went back behind the goal and tried again. I went to the left and got by Fulton but then slammed into the boards by Dean.

The team groaned, I tried yet again. After multiple hits Bombay called me over to him. "Try your best alright let everything go you're holding back." He pepped. I put my helmet back on and skated with the puck behind the goal.

"Alright Vivian you got this! No pressure not like the whole team is staring at you." I said glancing over at Bombay. He gave me a thumbs up so I kicked the puck with my foot to start it up. I started speeding up towards Fulton, he was getting ready to knock me.
