The Speedster and The Enforcer/ Fulton Reed

Chapter 3

"Thats not a date, right?"
Ava was sitting in the locker room getting ready for District Fives first hame against the Hawks. She was talking to Connie about what had happened after practice yesterday.
" And then i asked him to come to the game and if he wanted to get food after and talk about why-" then Connie interrupted her.
" You asked Fulton Reed on a date?" Ava was really taken a back by what the girl had said.
"It's not a date, right?"
"It definitely is a date." Connie giggled.
"Whats a date." Just as fate would have it Charlie walked by as they were talking and he loved drama.
"If i asked someone to go get food and talk after the game thats not a date, right?" Ava asked or more or less pleaded.
"thats definitely a date, so who are you going on a date with?" Charlie asked the girls.
"No one because it's not a date." And with that Ava stormed out of the locker but not without hearing connie say.
"It definitely is a date she is just nervous now."

Ava skated out onto the ive and felt the all so familiar ice to see the hawks staring their warm ups on the other side of the rink. The Hawks were D5's rivals they would always pick on the boys at school and get into fights over hockey. District Five wasn't much for warm ups since their old coaches never cared enough to show up at the game on time. So Ava would get on the ice a few minutes early to warm up. Ava started taking shots and practicing her puck handling the whole time she was warming up she felt a pair of eyes on her from the stands but was too focused to look up. 

People had said fulton had a starring problem but they were never referring to girls. Fulton just liked to look at cool and pretty things around Minnesota and Ava Conley was definitely something cool and pretty to look at. Fulton had decided he would go to District Fives game against the Hawks. Mostly because he wanted to see Ava, Imagine his surprise when she came to warm up right in front of him. Fulton watched her and she was good really good. He had never seen anything like it she could shoot with great accuracy and was the fastest skater he had ever seen. He guessed thats why the team called her flash in the hallways at school. But Fulton was amazed to say the least. He couldn't wait to hang out with her after her game.

After a while the rest of the team made their way on to the ice with their new coach. He saw what the Hawks were doing in warm ups and told the team to replicate it. Ava thought they were going to look stupid so she told Bombay she already warmed up so she could still have some decency. She went to sit down in the bench and looked to the stand to see who was there usually it was just Ms. Conway and Mr. Hall but today there was two extra faces one was Bombay's driver and the other met Ava's gaze instantly like he was already looking at her. She saw Fulton Reed sitting in the top of the stands in his combat boots and army jacket as always Ava waved at him and smiled.

The team circled up as Bombay called them over. He started chanting Win with mixed responses some joined others like Ava just rolled their eyes.
"Yeah we're fired up." Bombay said sarcastically. Jesse, Guy, and Terry all skated forward to take the face off while Ava skated further to the side ready to accept the pass. Guy stayed for the face off and immediately passed to Ava in which she took the puck down the ice straight to the goal and scored. She celebrated and heard a certain voice cheering a little loud. But after that goal it just got worse The next play the Hawks took the ball straight to the goal like Ava had done and scored. The game stayed like that for a while soon enough it was five to zero and Bombay finally called for a lome change but he wasn't very enthusiastic about it. Ava skated right on to the bench and happily took a break.

After the end of the second period Bombay was giving one of the worst pep talks Ava had ever heard.
" How lazy can you be they are killing us out there! How many times do i have to tell you get those rebounds, get your heads up, get those loose pucks, get.. just get." He was thankfully cut off by the whistle. After a while Ava finally got the puck again after the Hawks had been covering her the whole game. She skated down the ice while her teammates chanted Flash, She faked the goalie out and shot the puck in perfectly. She cheered and when she looked to the bench she say Bombay smile for the first time today. Close to the end of the third period Charlie got the puck he raced it down the ice he had a wide open shot. And he tripped and fanned like usual. 
 
Almost like a sign from god the buzzer rang to signal the end of the game the final score was 17 to 2. The two points were from Ava of course. Ava prepared herself for the lecture she knew was coming.
"Hey, Shut up you guys stink! I thought we came here to play hockey," Bombay Started then Averman being the comedian he is said " Ya know i knew we forgot something." This just made Bombay more mad than he already was.
"Oh you think it's funny, you think losing is funny,"
"Well not at first but once you get the hang of it." Averman said
" We are the ones out there getting our butts kicked it's not like you coach us or anything." Terry added.
"You didn't listen to a word I said , I said keep your heads up you put your heads down, I said hustle you went slower, That was the sloppiest playing Ive ever seen why the hell wont you just listen to me?" The words hurt Ava so she did the only right thing in her mind fight back.
"Why the hell should we?" And with that the ret of the team left the box following Ava since she was the only thing that kept them together why stop now.
