2. Arrival

I can't believe I met Jaren. Like, the Jaren Smith. He's an amazing hockey player, and what made it worse was I have a crush on him. We talked on the plane ride, and I fucking sat next to him. I was so close to freaking out, fuck man, I seemed so uncool. I sighed, walking out of the airport. The plane landed a few minutes ago. I got into the car my team's coach had rented a car already. She's been pretty bossy lately, because of the championship. I was zoning out and didn't hear my teammate saying my name.

"John, hello? Helloing, earth to John?"

"Ah- sorry, Max. I just.. got lost in my thoughts."

"Dude, didn't you sit next to Jaren? Like, Jaren Smith?"

I got flustered only by the mention of his name. Man, I really am in love, huh?

"Yeah. We talked.. kinda."

I heard him laugh a bit.

"Is that what you're thinking about? You're blushing, man."

"I don't like him like that, Max. I just.. I admire him. I wouldn't even have a chance with him, honestly."

"Yeah you would. You definitely would. He's here for his championship game right? You should go to his game and try to get his number or something. It's not on the same day as ours."

I stayed silent and looked away. Max does have a point.

"Fine. You have a point. I'll do it."

"You got it, John. Trust me, he'll definitely want you."

I smiled, looking out the window. Maybe I do have a chance with Jaren. Just maybe.

Today's the championship game. The past few days have been so fucking bad. Because one, coach has been really pressuring us. Two, I can't get John out of my head. Ever since we two talked, I just.. I don't know. He was just so.. pretty. Is that a normal thing to say? Is it a normal thing that I think about him 24/7?

"Hey, Jaren, you ready for the game?"

I got surprised a bit from Matt's voice, I was zoning out just thinking about him again.

"Uh.. yeah. Just.. thinking about someon- something."

He had caught my little "slip," and I saw him smirk.

"Someone? What does that mean?"

"No one! Nothing, just- I uh.. Fuck, Matt, I'm just confused."

"About what?"

"My feelings. You know how I sat next to John? Like, John Keyes, famous figure skater?"

"Yeah. You talked about that like a lot. And about him a lot."

"I did? Uh.. yeah, I did. Um.. anyways, I feel like I like him. I think he's pretty, and he's been stuck in my mind nonstop and I just- I don't know, I'm confused. With this on my mind, it just puts more stress on me and I'm worried I'm gonna fuck up our win for the championship."
