Ice, Love and Everything in between

Chapter 16

HIS POV

FRIDAY

I couldn't sleep last night

I was just too excited for today's match

Gia's coming to watch me and cheer me on

god, my heart starts to race just at a thought of it

but today's main event will be getting my revenge on Caleb and his team

hundreds of different tactics were running through my head when I heard the sound of someone yelling my name

I stopped skating around the ice rink and noticed that Isaac arrived

"hey dude" he said as he came closer

I skated up to the exit and rested my hands on the fence of the rink

"hey"

"you okay? you seem on edge"

"yeah just feeling a little adrenaline before a match"

"are others already here?"

"no I'm the only one"

Since we got scolded by the coach the last time we were late on a match day I decided to come here early today

"okay I'll go get changed and join you then" he said as he walked away, heading to the changing room

I left the rink and walked to the bench

I searched through my bag and after a while I finally found my phone

I checked to see if Gia replied to any of my messages

a smile creeped on my face when I saw her name on my screen

GIA <3: "I'll be at the rink around 8am"

I looked at the time

it was currently 7.50am

just a few more minutes

I could just left her on read but I wanted to talk to her some more

ME: "should I save you some good seats?"

It's not like the place wasn't completely empty but I had no other idea what to text

seconds passed by as I just stared at my phone, waiting for her text

she finally replied after what felt like eternity

GIA <3: "that'd be great"

ME: "okay, I'll get right to it"

"hey man, you ready to warm up?" I heard Isaac ask

I looked up from my phone and saw him standing before me

"yeah just give me a minute"

I took a hoodie out of my bag and walked up to the tribunes

now where would the best seat be?
