The Chick With a Stick

Game day

"Skyler! Your pictures were horrendous!" My mom said as she held up the pictures. I shrugged my shoulders and took a bite out of my apple.

"Do you even care?" My mom asked. I walked out of the kitchen rolling my eyes and walk towards my garage.

"Morning Neighbor." A blue eyes guy says to me. I quickly look back over the bushes and i drop my apple as a nervous reflex. It was Mason.

"What do you want?" I say with an attitude. I pick up my apple and throw it out.

"Ouch, bad morning?" Mason asked. I nod my head and grab a couple of hockey sticks and my hockey bag i left in my garage. Suddenly as the sticks were about to fall Mason quickly "saves the day" by putting them back in place.

"This is a private property you know!" I say to Mason.

"Yes Skylar, you are very welcome." He says. I roll my eyes.

"Skylar! You have a photoshoot after school--- hey Mason." My mom says.

"Can't i have places to go and people to see." I say loading my hockey equipment in my car.

"Oh really? With who? Where?" My mom asks crossing her arms.

"With me. We have dinner plans." Mason buts in.

"Oh have fun you two." My mom says, she closes the door.

"Really?" I ask.

"Yes Skylar, you are very welcome." He says.

~school~

I get to school and sling my hockey equipment over my shoulder.

"THERE SHE IS! MY NEW SUPERSTAR." Coach says. I smile and he directs me to the ice rink. He shows me the girls locker room and i hurry on to class.

~AP LANGUAGE ARTS~

"Hey it girl." Hailey says. I raise and eyebrow and ask what that meant.

"Every guy in school texted me asking about you last night." She says. She pulls out her phone and shows me several guys asking her about the new girl.

"That isnt even all, theres more on my kik." She says.

~lunch~

At lunch Hailey invited me to go to jack in the box with her and her friends, but i quickly declined the offer when she said Darren Wilders will be there, one of the guys who apparently has his eyes on me.

I went to sit outside and grabbed an empty table where no one can see me. I got my self an Arizona and french fries. I pulled out my textbooks and read. I caught up on the Novel Flowers for Algernon which all of my class was reading.

"Everyone went to Jack's for lunch so i guess its just you and me." Mason said as he sat down. I ignored him and continued to read my book.

"You are seriously reading that?" He asks.

"For AP lang, yes. This novel is actually good though." I said. "Its going to save me w hole bunch if trouble in the long run i say."

The rest of the lunch was pretty quiet and we had small talk.

~after school~

The arena is filling up and i see a lot of the guys Hailey showed me, that are apparently interested.

The game started and i Ramed someone in to the boards. I stole the puck from #23 and passed it to Hudson. He shot the puck in to the net and the crowd cheered. Then play gave us a 1 goal lead. 1-0.

I focus my attention back on the game and see Mason wrist shot the puck and it got blocked by the goalie. He grunts in frustration. Mason stole the puck from #14 and the puck found its way to the back of the net. The crowed roared and it was subs.

I went back on to the rink and won the face off. I yelled at our defenseman Parker because he gave up the puck and there was only 1 minute left in the third period.

Logan gave me a beautiful pass and i slap shotted the puck in to the net. The goalie tried to stop it but he couldn't. The buzzer rang and the crowd went wild. My coach especially. Everyone gave me a pat on the back and we shook hands.

After i changed, i saw Mason outside my locker.

"So how 'bout that date?" He said.
