The game is going well. Chris, Millie, I are watching in the stands. I pull my sweater closer to me as I cross my arms. It was the second period and I can practically hear Julie's inner monologue.

Russ gets the puck and skates quickly to get in position for his signature 'Knuckle Puck'. Thankfully it works and the goalie falls flat on his face, Guy hits it into the goal and the crowd goes wild.

Chris, Millie, and I scream and clap while the team celebrates on the ice. Suddenly the other team gets the puck again, moving close to our goal and knocking down Averman.

But as soon as we all thought they were gonna score, Luis gets the puck and everyone go wild, he's definitely a fan favorite. He skates like lightning to the other goal but he doesn't ever start to slow down... oh god.

He scores! But he also jumps over the goal and hits the boards. Ouch...

Dwayne now has the puck! Except when Dwayne gets the puck he never really uses it correctly. He bounces the puck up and down on his puck, laughing and shooting it into the goal.

Charlie and Averman lose the puck but Fulton skates right in and grabs it, shooting it so fast that the guy on the other team who grabs it spins in three circles before he can steady himself and the puck goes flying into the goal.

The crowd screams and yells when Averman fakes the goalie out, Fulton scoring between his legs and into the goal! Shit they're actually doing pretty well.

Except when the other team scores on Julie, practically ambushing her. And they score again...

"Clear the net! Clear the net!" Orion calls, he's not looking very happy.

The other team scores again and we all sadly watch that 'Visitiors' sign change to 5.

Now Seven...

Charlie hits his stick against the goal, snapping it and Getting two minutes in the box.

They switch Julie out for Goldberg and once I look down for two seconds, Goldie is behind the net and The other team scores again.

I see the sighs and disappointment on the Warriors face.

9 - 8

Please someone give them a miracle.

Charlie is out of the box again, immediately gaining the puck and taking off down the ice. God Charlie pass! Practically his whole team yells at him as he falls, letting the puck slide and stopping just before it goes it.

We're fucked.

Millie lays her head on my shoulder, "I cant watch!" The girl doesn't even like hockey, that's how you know it's bad.

The visitors got the puck and zoom to Goldberg, no way he's stopping this. And he doesn't, the puck hits the net and the warriors tie.

I don't dare to go into the locker room, I could hear them all yelling at each other from outside.

Chris and Millie left once the game ended but I promised the girls I'd wait for them. Connie walks out of the locker room but she still wears her uniform.

"You're gonna wanna see this." She walked back in and I quickly followed.

"Ugh!" Fulton hits his stick against the wall as everyone crowds around the shower, "You know if Portman was here we would have bashed them better!"

All their clothes were in a pile on the floor, soaking wet and on the wall above it says, 'Sophomores Stink!'

Charlie storms out quickly, "We gotta get them back." I hear Guy say, looking over my shoulder and looking annoyingly good for being so sweaty.
