"Tell me something Nairobi Cortes, do you love Luis Mendoza?"
"Mendoza" I repeated, giving some thought and responding "Even the name gives me butterflies"

"He hasn't spoken to anyone since the fight" Ken whispered to me as we both looked at Dean
"Not even Fulton?" I ask, making Ken shake is head
"I just want all this to end"
I sigh "Yeah, me too"
It was another drill Bombay recommended, in which three players corner one and see how they can control the puck- or better yet, how long they can handle the pressure. Once the players get the puck, they pass it to the goalie and it's the next group. Luis, Guy and Fulton were going against Dean.
Bombay blows the whistle as we watch the three of them rush towards Dean, trying their best to take the puck. Based on Dean's anger from the fight, he was solid.
"A minute left!" Bombay announces
Luis moves his stick under Dean, almost grabbing the puck before he stumbles backwards. We continue watching as Luis does it one more time, this time getting the puck and passing it to Julie.
"That was a close call! Portman was just five seconds away from beating Nai's record!" Bombay says as he pats their backs "Next group will be Man against Ken, Connie, and Russ. Goldberg switch places with Julie"
"Nice job Luis" I said as I gave him a high five "Same with the rest of you guys"
"I kinda hesitated a bit- I felt like he was gonna knock my teeth out" Guy huffs "Luckily Luis was able to find the weak point-"
"He didn't find any bullshit weak point" Dean interrupted "He just got lucky"
Luis rolls his eyes "Yeah 'lucky', say what you want but the talk comes from how we play the game"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
Julie sighs "Guys c'mon, can we not do this today?"
"Stay out of this" Dean barks "Didn't ask the princess of snobs for her opinion"
"Do you want to get that reality check again?" Luis spat as he takes a few steps towards him
"Luis let it go, we don't need this right now" I huffed "He just wants to get a rise out of you"
"Waddle away shrimp" Dean chuckles as Luis turns back around and leaps on top of him
As they both began to fight, everyone else began to turn their attention onto us. I shake my head, I wasn't surprised that they would do this again, but more disappointed that they are doing this in front of Bombay.
"Enough! Both of you need to relax!" Bombay shouts as he breaks them up "What's gotten into you?! Fighting like a bunch of drunk bimbo's?!"
