"Who knew hockey kids could be so demanding?"

We go out to dinner after our first practice, we're all tired as shit but Bombay insists. So i'm spending my Friday night with my hockey team, new additions, and our coach. I guess it could be worse.

"Sorry Guy!" Averman says a bit too late because suddenly there's a pepperoni slice on my cheek.

I peel it off, my lips tight, and throw it back at him. "Guy." Coach Bombay is watching me and I scoff, pointing to Averman who looks innocent.

I look at Connie who is snickering at my left, then to Banks who's biting into his pizza with a smirk. "So you guys ever been to Minneapolis?" Adam looks up at the five people sitting across from us. Dean is busy talking enthusiastically to Fulton and Luis got up to get another drink.

"Yeah, I came here for some skating comps." Kenny Wu smiles, he's got mushrooms on his pizza.

"Nah- Could barely leave Maine unless it was with my team." Julie shrugs, I forget that these new kids are actually like pros or something. She pops a piece of rogue pineapple into her mouth before pushing back her long hair.

Charlie looks at Adam while he's nodding along to Julie talking. He's so distracted that he knocks over a drink which makes me laugh, he notices and starts cleaning up, shaking his head at me.

"What about you, Alex?" Adam glances to Charlie for a second.

Alex looks tired, her dark red hair pulled back into a ponytail. She sighs a bit, "Nope, Pretty cool though."

"I'll give you a tour if you want." I pull the whole slow smirk thing and she just stares, blinks and laughs a bit.

Connie hits my arm, "Don't mind Guy." She eyes me and then smiles at Alex, "He's just deprived of anyone wanting him."

I side eye her, "Says my ex girlfriend..."

She steps on my foot, "Shut up!" She leans back in her chair.

Julie laughs, "You two? Dated?" Connie looks horrified as if we weren't making out months ago.

"Sadly enough." I scoff, I can say things like that because I know she isn't hurt. It's not like we regret our whole relationship but we don't fuck with eachother like that anymore. We were just kids.

"Seriously?" Alex smiles and crosses her arms, "What the fuck did you do?" she looks directly at me when she says it.

"Woah- Why do you assume I did something?" I frown and she smirks, her lips a smudged red.

"You're a guy." She's got a sort of spunk to her that makes her too interesting.

"That's fair."

"Ta-Da!" Tibbles pulls a sheet off a huge wheaties box with our faces on it, I look at Charlie who looks insanely confused.

"They're selling us now?" Charlie whispers as I shrug.

"It's kinda cool... I look hot." I grin as Connie rolls her eyes.

"Are we looking at the same picture?" Alex sits on the table behind Connie and Julie, she's wearing jeans and a white tube top, matched with our Team USA jacket.

I tilt my head at her, "Very funny." She just smiles and swipes on lipgloss.

"Today it's a wheaties box! Tomorrow, it's video games, action figures, lunch boxes!" Don Tibbles grins in his green suit, "The sky's the limit! Now, just to make sure that everyone knows who you are...try one of these!" He pulls out our new jersey's, bright red white and blue. "Fulton!" He throws one to fulton and everyone laughs and grins, checking out our neck Hendricks Hockey jerseys.
