Stella woke up to her alarm going off, shutting it off and going upstairs to shower. Throwing on sweats and Trevor's hoodie, getting in her car. Driving to get coffee before arriving at the college.

Remembering that she had Jack and Trevor's numbers she texted them quickly before going into the rink. Getting started at as she walked in, a girl coming up to her with a purpose.

"You're Stella Demko right?" the girl asked

"Yeah" Stella nodded

"I'm Vanessa" she stook out her hand

"Nice to meet you" Stella shook her hand

"Its your first day here huh?" Vanessa questioned

"Yeah I had something important to do yesterday so I missed it" Stella lied

"You didn't miss much yesterday, it was introductions. Everyone already knows you so I don't think you needed to be there" Vanessa shrugged

"Yeah" Stella awkwardly laughed "Did they say what we're doing today?" she asked

"They said they're like taking us somewhere so we could all create a bond" Vanessa responded

"I'm guessing you know a lot of people?" Stella asked her

"No, there's a few people who know one another but not me" she looked around

"Partners?" Stella asked her

"I'd like that" Vanessa smiled

The two girls got to know one another more before they went in the bus to head off. Turns out they were heading to go play dodgeball then dinner.

At the dodgeball place they all had so much fun, it was the girls hockey versus boys hockey. All of them made some kind of friendship with one another, they had other activities there that Stella joined in on.

Stella ended up befriending the whole boys hockey team and half of the girls hockey team. All of them playing pool and in the arcade room. Stella had to leave two hours later to take a call.

"Hello?" she answered

"Hey where are you?" Matt asked

"I'm at team bonding, its three days" Stella replied turning around

"We wanted to film with you" Matt said in a sad tone

"I'm sorry, I have team bonding today and tomorrow. If I make it back in time I'll see" she apologized

"Alright, call me" he said hanging up

"No bye or see you later?" Stella questioned before putting her phone away and walking back inside

"Everything good?" Owen, the captain of the guys hockey team, asked Stella concerned

"Yeah just some friends" she waved off

"Your ordering an uber back home?" he asked

"Nah I'm good, can't ditch out now" she nodded her head

"Yeah" he agreed

They all went back to playing pool for a couple of hours before heading back. Stella sat next to Owen with Vamessa and another girl in front of them. Owen and Stella talked a lot about pointless things, asking each other unreasonable questions and laughing at their answers.

When the bus stopped at the college so everyone could leave, Owen and Stella found out they parked next to one another.

"Nice car" he complimented
