Step by step I made my way through the busy sidewalks of downtown Toronto, bumping into people each  step. The cool city breeze blowing through my long brown hair. Finally making it to my car. My phone starts beeping in my hand. "Hello?" I say picking up the phone putting it to my ear. "Hey Loser, where are yeah?" A deep voice says "Just about do go pick up Tessa!" I say replying to Mitch. Tessa was my best friend my sister, we have been best friends since kindergarten. Mitch, Tessa and I were the three musketeers. I snapped out of my thoughts returning back to the phone call will Mitch "ok, make sure you get here at 5:00" he tells me. 

After the short conversation with Mitch, I finally arrive at Tessa's house. She walks out to my car wearing a short mint strapless dress with flats and her hair all done up, I'm just wearing American Eagle jeans with some rips and a burgundy crop top with my hair straighten "What the hell are you wearing?" I yelled all her "we are going to a hockey game not a wedding" I laugh "well there are some really hot guys ok. The team that Mitch is playing is Connor and Dylan's team and you know I have a thing for Dylan. Just like you have a thing for Mitch" she says mumbling the last part "WHAT?! No I don't." I say trying not to smile. I've had a crush on Mitch since 8th grade and we are just half way through grade 12. I still haven't built up the nerve to tell him how I really feel. "Oh stop, I see the way you look at him the way he looks at you and every time you hear his name you smile" she says to me smiling "ok, let's go!"

The car ride seemed short, the whole time we talked about prom and graduation listening to music. "Ok so what colour do you you want your dress to be?" She asked. I don't even wanna think about prom cause I know not gunna get asked "I don't know blue maybe first we need dates if anyone's gunna ask me" I sigh. "Haha your funny your one of the prettiest and most popular girls in our school you will get asked trust me" she say looking at me. I'm really not that pretty I have my scars and my blemishes and I'm not that popular only for my sport. And hockey well I've been scouted, I've played for team Canada and have been told I was the next face of woman's hockey and I know that's all a really big deal, but sometimes it doesn't
feels real and I've dreamt about it but why me? I kept asking my self. Tessa interrupts me as I think. "Hello Addy you there?" She waves her hand in front of my face. "Hey sorry I I I was just thinking" I say.

We pull up to the rink. "Ok you ready?" I ask looking at Tessa while she fixes her makeup, I don't understand why she needs it she honestly perfect. Perfect skin, hair, body and everything she's an amazing dancer she's just perfect and doesn't even have to try an see with me my hair is definitely not perfect my skin my body my face I work so hard on its
really just not far. "Yep" she says. I grabbed my Marner jersey out of the back of my car as well as my phone and purse. I didn't feel like put it on at the moment so I just put it over my purse.

Right when we walked into the rink a wave of cold air brushed my face making me feel so calm and ok when I really wasn't. We found Mitch sitting in the empty stands. "There he is!" Tessa yells than her eye drift of to a tall lean dark haired boy "um I'll let you go talk to Mitch" she says still looking at Dylan "ok! Go get him Tiger" I laugh as she walks towards Dylan looking back and flipping me off.

I walk over to Mitch who is sitting by himself. "Hey" I say sitting right beside him "hi" he mumbles looking at his shoes. I pull his head up not realizing how close it was to mine. "Um you you nervous?" I say nervously as I look Mitch in the eyes we are just inches apart. "Um a little" he says moving his face closer to mine "and you know what would make me less nervous" he says with a smirk on his face, "what" I say trying to stay calm. He looks me straight in the eyes "something is should have done 18 years ago" he says while crashing him lips onto mine, fitting perfectly.

We break from the kiss. "Better?"I say smiling, we were up really high and there was poles in front of use so no one could see us thank god! He looks at me with a huge grin of his face "Haha yeah"she says going back for another kiss.

After that whole thing I walk down to Tessa. I could stop smiling, "why are you so happy?" Tessa asks grinning "no no reason" I say still smiling "Addy spill it!" She says "Um I mean its its  um it's was just a kiss...."
