CASSIDY CONWAY was an amazing skater
and hockey player. She was the twin of Charlie
Conway and everyone adored the twins.
She was the star of the team and none dared
to compete with her on the ice.
Until she met a boy names Adam Banks.
THE LAST FEW days have been horrible for cassidy. she stayed in her room all day and didn't even bother to talk to anyone. every time she passed the ducks in the hallways, she just avoided eye contact and walked faster.
as for adam, he tried talking to her sometimes. he would leave notes in her locker, telling to meet her up somewhere but cassidy would just throw it in the bin.
cassidy was also doing horrible in her classes. overdue assignments, getting low scores on her tests.
she didn't know what to do, but she knew someone who did. she went to hans.
when she arrived at the place he always stayed at, she knocked. cassidy opened the door walking inside with a smile on her face as she sat down.
"hope i'm not bothering you." she said to hans looking around.
"is everything okay, cassidy?" hans asked her. see that was the thing about hans, he always knew when she was upset.
"i don't know hans. i'm not playing anymore, i decided to quit because that coach made me angry the other day. and with me and adam broken up, it's even worse. i haven't talk to him since."
"cassidy." hans reaches over and puts a hand on hers. "how do you feel?"
she looked down at her lap. "empty."
"well then you should go back to playing hockey and talk to adam. i know those are the two things that make you full as a person." hans advised her, smiling.
cassidy looks at him, noticing that he looked unwell. she furrowed her eyebrow and places a hand on his forehead.
"hans, you're burning, are you okay?" cassidy asked him. he just gave her a smile, telling her to go see adam. cassidy was hesitant but she left eventually, not without kissing hans on the cheek, like she always did.
hans watched the brunette girl leave with a smile on his face, a proud one mixed with sadness as well. he knew from wherever he'll end up, he will watch over the star player.
"goodbye cassidy."

cassidy couldn't help but want to turn back to check on hans. maybe she should. maybe she was overthinking it? but she was already far enough from his house. she turned the corner and there he was, skating at the pond they always hung around.
she grew nervous at the sight of him. felt like crushing on him all over again, when they were little. cassidy built up enough courage to walk up to the boy. he hadn't noticed her, not yet.
"do you want some company?" cassidy questioned, holding her bag that her skates were shoved in. she brought her figure skates because she found it much more better to skate on the pond with her figures.
adam turned around on his blades, his blue eyes slightly widening at the sight of the brunette. and the fact that she was finally speaking to him.
he realized that he hadn't replied back to he nodded his head. "yeah. i would—yeah, i would love to have you— i mean i would love to have some company."
cassidy giggled at him, bringing her skates out of her bag. adam watches her as she put them on and tied her shoe laces. when she was done, she got up and skates out on the ice.
adam watched her skate around him with a small smirk in his face which made him smirk back at her as well.
"are you challenging me to something, frankenstein?" adam asked her, raising a brow.
cassidy shrugged her shoulders, skidding to a stop. "i don't know cake-face. i just think i'm still faster than you with figure skates on."
adam poked the side of his mouth with his tongue and shook his head. "oh, you're on."
cassidy laughs when they lined up, fairly and then adam counted down. once he said one, she sprints off on her skates.
she laughed when she was ahead of him but adam reached for her, grabbing her waist and pulling her back. cassidy's eyes widen and she yelped when she lost balance.
cassidy trips over her skates and adam tried catching her but ends up falling with her. her back on the ice and adam on top of her, cassidy laughed. adam just stared at her, a love struck face.
i mean, he always had the expression on his face when he looked at cassidy. not maya. not any girl in his english classes. not any cheerleaders. no other girl. it was always cassidy.
cassidy's laughter died down and she stared into adam's blue eyes. blue meets blue and they just stared. adam glances down to her lips and then back up to her eyes.
she placed her hand on his cheek, feeling his cold face with her warm hand and adam had his hands on her waist.
cassidy gave him a smile before leaning in and kissing him. it felt like a million butterflies and a million moths and fireworks just erupted in her stomach. it also felt like she was full again.
adam pulled her closer as their lips moved in sync. they eventually pulled away and cassidy's hand still lingered on his cheek. she rests her forehead against adam's and her cheeks were red and she was smiling.
it wasn't one of those fake and forced smiles. it was the real one. that only adam and the ducks could bring out of her.
"i love you, cassidy. i really do." adam mumbled.
"i love you too, adam."
after a few more minutes of skating around the pond together, they were now taking off their skates. but then, cassidy's phone was ringing.
it was her mom.
she picked up her phone in confusion, furrowed eyebrows. "hello?"
adam watched as cassidy's confused face turned into a concerned one. he understood when he could hear sobs from the other line from casey.
"whoa, mom slow down will you?" cassidy chuckles. but her smile faltered when casey told her the news. she felt her eyes water and her phone slipped out of her hand and fell onto the ground.
she then felt a tear slowly drop from her eye. adam furrowed his eyebrows and just engulfed the girl in hug.
"what's wrong cass?" he asked her while she cried.
