On Thin Ice Book Two of: On The Ice

Ch. 5 Second Period

We were bound to beat Finland, we had too, we would. The second period was starting, we all nervously walked out. I felt like I was about to throw up still, I had a huge lump in my throat.

"You okay?" Luke Bedard asked me, he put a hand on my shoulder I tensed up at his touch. I wasn't expecting him, I wasn't expecting to tense up at just his touch. If it was Jase I would have been at ease, I don't know what it was but Jase always calmed me down, I looked up to see his perfect beautiful face, and those brown eyes.

"Yep, I'm fine." I lied, I felt like I couldn't be honest with him just yet. Luke nodded his head like he understood, he walked ahead of me.

"I know you're not fine." Jase walked up behind me, just perfect timing Jase I thought to myself. When I stared into his eyes I got lost, I know it's a corny thing to say, but it was the truth. If Jase wasn't a player he'd be the perfect boyfriend, he was older, just a little bit colder, I could take the weight off his shoulders that's for sure, I knew how stressed Jase could get and be.

"Hello?" He questioned me, waving his hand in front of my face, "earth to Alessandra?" He joked I quickly snapped out of my trance, I then realized what I had been thinking, nonsense is what it was, crazy even.

"Uh sorry, got a lot on my mind. You were saying?" I asked for him to continue on about whatever it was he was saying. Jase laughed a little whilst shaking his head.

"I said I know you're not fine." He said, my face fell. Why was he always up in my business? And why was he always right, every single damn time.

"Like I said, I got a lot on my mind, that's it." I promised him, I walked out onto the bench, Jase following closely behind me.

Of course I just had to fall for the most homebody girl in the world. Not complaining, I have a reputation what can I say, a record for being a player. Ask any girl in school and they would tell you that I'm a player, and yet they still would want me. But not Alessandra oh no, she couldn't care less about who I was or what I did. She simply didn't care for a guy, and I gotta respect her for that, most of the guys in our school are assholes, including myself, but at least I know it, I hated not being able to get something I want, and what I wanted? Alessandra Russo.

I was on the ice when I saw Alessandra Russo walk out, her little pet Jase Anderson, following closely behind her. I was so sick of him, but yet somehow Alessandra didn't realize he was some stuck up, rich boy with daddy's money.

"That asshole." I whispered to myself, I rolled my eyes. Nothing was going to stand in my way of me getting to Alessandra Russo, not even Jase Anderson.

Jase sat down with me, I swear I got déjà vu from when we played for the Hawks. Then I felt it again. My heart skipped a beat, my stomach filled with butterflies, It almost made me smile.

"When we got onto the ice, I'll take the puck and you wait over there." Jase explained, he pointed to the left side of the crease for the goal. I was a lefty I had to take advantage of it. I nodded my head as Jase explained it all, I played the play in my head, easy goal I thought to myself.

"Alright sounds good enough." I admitted, can't believe I was agreeing with Jase Anderson, him out of all people, crazy I know. If I was being truthful I missed Jase, truly I did. I didn't hate him not even a little bit, not at all, it was more an act then anything.
