"Oh my god!" Mal screamed from the couch. Maliyah was always screaming, it's why I've learned to just ignore her. It also didn't help that she's become obsessed with hockey, meaning she now screams when watching games with Alex. "Trevor Zegras talked about us during his pre-season game interview!" As soon as the atmosphere goes from the sunny summer to the leaf changing autumn, the obsession with hockey sky rockets as that's when the season starts back up. Mal makes that known every year. "Hayden, did you not hear me? Talking about us! Like Pink Slip!"
I was just trying to grab a Dr. Pepper from the fridge. "About us?" I asked, obviously uninterested. I could honestly care less about a hockey player. To be fair, I did react this way when I saw that Olivia Rodrigo had followed our Instagram.
Mal clearly didn't pick up on my disinterest since she then said, "Yeah! Look!" I rolled my eyes while groaning. Was there a remote I could buy that would put Mal on mute? I made my way over to the couch from the kitchen and peered over her shoulder to see her phone screen. She instead shoved the phone into my hands. "Watch!"
I glanced up at her with my eyebrows lowered before looking back down at the phone which had a TikTok pulled up. The caption said;
'Trevor Zegras listens to Pink Slip AND has a possible crush on Hayden????'
Oh, Lord, I thought.
There were two people on the screen, a tall hockey player who had sweat drenched hair and stood taller than the other who was a lady conducting the interview. She wore a violet colored dress and heavy makeup. I assumed they were in the locker room or something. She asked him, "One more question here before we sign off. There was a picture of you in the locker room Jamie Drysdale posted where you had your AirPods in. We want to know what kind of hype music do you listen to before games?"
I couldn't hide the cringe that question had given me, it was very present on my scrunched up face. Just the way she delivered the question made me die inside a little. "Hype music?" I then gagged. I hated when we would get interviewed how reporters tried to relate with our audience... and it painfully showed. The worst examples I've heard in our interviews were definitely 'slay' and 'baddie'.
Mal rolled her eyes and said, "Listen!" I just poked my tongue out at her and looked back down at the phone. I had talked a bit over the video, so I just tuned back in.
Whatever answer he had given her was clearly not enough for her because her eyes pierced into him still as she maintained that reporter lady smile on her face. It clearly looked inhuman, but Trevor did his best to give her the satisfactory answer she craved. "Oh, uh, I listened to Drake, 21, Travis Scott, but I would listen to other people than just rap."
I saw that it had already been like 30 seconds into the video, but it felt like 30 minutes. I looked up from the phone and stared at Mal. "Last time I checked we weren't Drake, 21, or Travis," I sarcastically said, holding out her phone so she could take it back and I could get back to my drink.
