JULES GROWLED IN RESPONSE TO ADAM TAKING THE PUCK OFF HER AND BOLTING FOR HIS GOAL, she turned and raced after him, biting on her tongue to focus herself when she slammed into him, knocking him to the side so she could steal the puck and take it back down her end. He never fell but he was distracted for long enough for her to shove it threw his legs and swipe it in her favour. 

"Cheeky girl." He muttered, chasing after her as she raced as full speed down the rink, turning to stop when she fired the puck into her goal, it went in but not very quickly, a goalie would've caught it, "You're getting better, Jules. I'll give you that, just need to work on those shots." 

She nodded retrieving the puck, following Adam off the ice and into the changing rooms where she removed her jersey to take off her padding her dad had got her, she was still wearing his jersey over the top but in actual hockey equipment. It felt strange at first, like she couldn't move properly but once she got the hang of it, it turned out to be relatively easy to skate with it on. 

"I'm gonna shower, no peaking or I'll burn your house down." He held his hands up in his own defence, watching her grab a towel and walk towards the shower, pulling the curtain along. Juliet sighed as she removed her clothes, leaving them in a pile towards the entrance of the showers, and stepped into the stream from one of them, in the far corner. She would be joining an all boys group so it slightly terrified her about the whole changing room situation, but she was sure that they could get something worked out, maybe she'll shower first and quickly get changed whilst they're showering. Jules just hopes they'll be respectful to her when she's changing. 

She patted herself down, before slipping her clothes back on and putting her hair up in the towel. Adam was already changed into normal clothing and packing up his stuff when she walked towards him, taking her bag and shoving things into it, "You should come along to practise tommorow, play with us, we'll go soft on you." Juliet raised a brow, unsure if she wanted to put herself in that situation just yet. "Come on, Jules, you never know, it could teach you something."

"I'll think about it." She put the towel into the washing basket and left the changing rooms with her bag and stick over her shoulder. Jules walked out to the rink, seeing District Five pushing around eggs on the rink, "Connie!" Juliet yelled, waving at her bestfriend. Connie smiled waving her over, she quickly put on her skates to go on the ice. In figure skating, it was a rule you never took outside shoes onto the ice because it would destroy the smoothness of it, and she got pretty quick at putting her skates on. 

Adam payed no attention to her as he left, ready to go home and sleep after a long day of just skating. "Morning loser." Connie greeted as Barnes skated onto the ice, doing a few little spins as she glided across the rink to them, "Coach Bombay, this is Juliet Barnes, the girl I was telling you about. She's the fastest skater I know and she needs a team."
