"TREVOR LETS GO HURRY UP" my dad calls as he exits the front door and gets into the car. today is our first home game and i'm shitting my pants. okay not literally but you know what i mean. kris is also working right up until the game starts at 6:30. so that means she's gonna see me in my pregame suit, which i've heard girls really like so i forced ava to help me choose which one looks best with absolutely no pushback! (she threatened to break my knees in multiple times) i finally decided on a navy blue suit with a white dress shirt, no tie, brown belt/shoes, and top button undone. grabbing my hockey bag, i throw it in the trunk and we begin the short drive to the rink.

when we get there, i say a quick bye to my dad and head inside with my gear. as i walk through the front doors i see kris sitting in the canteen area and her head shoot up.

"hey kris" i say, making my way to the counter.

"hey trev, let's see the outfit" she beams up at me. jokingly rolling my eyes, i take a step back and show off my suit. "wow lookin snazzy" she laughs.

"thank you thank you my sister helped me pick it out" i joke before picking my bag back up before anyone walks in and sees us chatting.

"well good luck! i'll be off right before you guys start" she says, eyes still fixed looking at mine, head slightly tilted to the side.

"see you then" i smile back, lingering for just a second before heading to the dressing room.

fucking bullshit. we lost 6-3. we were up 3-0 at the end of the second and we fucking choked. coach is pissed at us and we all know it's suicides next practice, maybe even bag skating. i have no idea what happened, we never lost communication on the ice and we all got along the whole game so i'm at a loss. every single goal the other team scored i would look in the stands and all i saw was a bunch of people shaking their heads. i'm already changed but i just wanna sulk if i'm being honest. i'm just sitting with my head down in my stall, phone in hand.

krissy🙃
okay take ur time jack is talking with the coach rn so i'm sure i'm gonna be here a while

i can't help but let out a really aggressive sigh when i stand up and grab my shit. there is still a good amount of guys in the room when i leave but everyone stays silent as the door closes. i turn into a hallway i haven't been in before seeing a door labeled 'storage' and figure that's my best bet. as i twist the handle, i push forward and am met with none other then kris.

"hey trev i'm sorry about the game i understand that this one will be a tough pill to swallow" she pushes herself off the wall and meets me for a hug as the door closes. a breath i didn't know i was holding in is released and i pull her in tighter for a second before pulling back, a sympathetic smile displayed on her face.

"ya it's shitty but what can you do" i say quickly before my eyes meet the floor.

"oh i almost forgot!" kris turns around, pointing a finger trying to find something. "i don't know if you feel up for it right now but i remembered that you like to have something sweet after your games so i made this quickly for you" she turns back around, her arm outstretched with a slushie in hand. "it's blue raspberry, that's your favourite right? if not then i have cherry and we can switch" she rambles on and the upset look on my face turns into a smile.

"thank you blue raspberry is my favourite" i smile at her, grabbing the slushie and taking a sip. "that's good but can i try cherry?" i ask.

"as long as you don't care that i already had a sip" she laughs holding out her slushie and after i try it she keeps a hand out. "can i have a sip of yours?" she questions as i nod my head, passing it to her. handing each back, a comfortable silence surrounds us.

"thank you for being patient with me i know i was a bit pissy when i walked in here. also thank you for remembering my after game shit you really didn't have to do this." i wish she could know what was going on in my head right now, the gratitude i carry for her.

"oh it was really nothing i just thought you would appreciate it" a blush comes over her face as does a smile. "you okay?"

"ya i'm all good" my smile widens. i hold an arm out and it falls on her shoulders as we walk out of the room, dropping it to the small of her back as we walk through the hall. entering the front area, we make eye contact before she gives me a thumbs up, causing me to chuckle before taking another sip of my slushie.

"where'd you get that?" my dad looks at me with a smirk.

"my friend made it for me. she works at the canteen" i reply, silently suggesting that we should leave. he seems to understand, and we are on our way.
