Don't Go

The Blackhawks Game

I walked to ILA, and sat next to Emalee like always. This Saturday was the Hawks game. I'm so excited for that. This time instead of Tyler sitting in the back of the room, he sat up behind Emalee, and I. I was thinking he sat here because there was no spot next to her. Jamie was a little annoyed by that, so he came, and sat next to Tyler. I don't think Jamie is liking the fact that Tyler likes Emalee. That might be a problem later in life."Why can't we sit in the back?" Jamie asked. I wonder what Tyler will tell him."I just don't want to sit back there today." "Sure that's totally why." Jamie said mad/annoyed."You can sit back there. I just don't want to." "No, no. I'll sit here. But tomorrow, I'm sitting in the back." "Ok, fine deal. I'll sit back there tomorrow." And they just made a deal on it. They shouldn't have to deal on were to sit. Tyler should be able to sit wherever he wants to. But I guess he also wants to be friends with Jamie. He didn't tell Jamie about Emalee. I don't know why he didn't, but he should soon. Later at hockey practice, Teuvo and Andrew got in a fight! Not a fist fight, but a yelling fight. But I did see what happen, and Andrew did push Teuvo, so he pushed back. I don't know why they were fighting. I was talking to Artemi until he noticed what was happening."You idiot!" Was something one of them yelled and,"I did nothing of a sort!" This was not normal of them to fight. Actually, Teuvo and Andrew were best friends. "Teuvo!" I called, and the fight stopped. He skated towards me looking upset. "What happen? Why'd you guys fight? I thought you boys were like, best friends." He just looked down. "Teuvo, what happen?" Before he could respond coach came to talk to Teuvo. There talk lasted a few minutes, then Teuvo came back."So..." I said."Well I'm benched the next game. I started the fight." Wait, he started the fight? Isn't Andrew the fighter here."Ok, now why did you start the fight?" He looked up and said,"I was mad at him, because he kind of was bragging about how he got a really good grade on his math test, and I didn't, and he knows I'm terrible at math. Then he said something about the kids that go to the special class to get help on math. And because I felt like he was ignoring me lately, and just I lost my friend because of me. Why me." He was really upset when he said 'he lost his friend'. But it was his fault that he started the fight. And now he wants his friend back."That really is no reason to fight someone." "But he pushed me first, I yelled at him first." He did have a point on that,"Are you going to the Hawks game this Saturday?" It was totally off topic, but I kind of had an idea."Yeah, but does that have to do with what just happened?" I knew he was gonna say that," Well, Andrew is going to the game, and maybe you guys can work things out, enjoy the game, and become friends again." It wasn't the best idea but it could work."Alright we'll see, but I should try saying sorry first." "Yeah, you should." I hope Andrew will still talk to Teuvo. He might be to mad at him.

Today was the day the team, and I get to go to the Hawks game. It was a crazy week just to get to this day. Emalee told me yesterday that she could go to the game, and was excited. I am too. Teuvo tried all week to say sorry to Andrew, but Andrew won't listen. So Teuvo sent Andrew a voicemail saying he was sorry, that he still wanted to be friends, and that it was all his, Teuvo's, fault. I talked to Andrew yesterday, and this what he told me,"Hey Cori, tell Teuvo to stop bothering me. I don't want him talking to me. I don't need'm. Jerk." I could tell Andrew was being serious, but I was kind of surprised. "He's trying to say sorry." I said, but he didn't look up from his science paper."Andrew, she's talking?" Artemi said."I know he is, but I don't care. You know he said two hurtful things to me too. I know what I said to him, but he isn't all special." "Then you should say sorry to'm." "I don't wanna talk to'm" "Did you at least hear the voicemail he sent you?" "Yes, I did. Is he really that desperate?" "Yes, he is, he basically misses you." "Yeah, I know, he said that in the voicemail." "So will you say sorry?" He thought for a moment then said, "Yes, yes I will."

My parents wanted to drive Emalee, and I to the game. So I let them, I was afraid I would get lost driving. Emalee, and I found Tyler, and we went with him to find the team. The game already started, and when we got there the Hawks were winning 1-0, yay! Emalee sat between Tyler and I, and I sat by Artemi and of course Emalee. We all talked, and watched the game. Andrew must have said sorry to Teuvo because they were laughing, and talking to each other the whole first period. In the intermission, which is between periods, we all went to go get food. Tyler went into the gift store, and came out with a Hawks shirt."Who's that for Tyler?" I asked,"Oh, just a special someone." I knew who he was getting it for, Emalee. "Hey Emalee!" Tyler called,"Here, I hope it's the right size." She took the shirt out of the bag, and smiled brightly, and jumped up and down with glee. "Thank you so much Tyler!" She said excitedly."Since you didn't have a Blackhawks shirt, I thought I'd get you one." They had another cute moment. "Aww," I said,"Shut up Cori." Emalee said. I laughed at that. They should totally be a couple, they would look cute together. Jamie looked happy for Tyler. I think he finally told Jamie about Emalee. That's good."Hie?" Artemi said, "Hie!" I responded,"Do you want anything?" He asked me thinking about what he should say next,"Oh! No I'm good, I can pay for myself. Thank you though." I said, that was nice of him to ask,"No...really it ok." He said."Ok, sure," I said,"What...do...ugh! He couldn't remember the right english term. "Anisimov!" He called,"Yes, what?" Then he said something in Russian to Anisimov,"Artemi was trying to say,'what would you like me to buy you'" I didn't think of what I wanted. "A coke would be fine." I responded,"Ok." Artemi said,"Now what are you going to go get Artemi?" Anisimov asked him, "A, uh coke?" He said confused to Anisimov, then he went, and bought me a coke. He came back with a coke, and a cookie."Aw, thanks Artemi." I said," No problem." He said with a proud smile. We all went back to our seats. There was 2 minutes till the next period started. Emalee was wearing her new Hawks shirt, she looked really cute in it. Then the period started. When you watch hockey live, it goes by really fast. Then one of the players on the other team scored. That sucked, it's ok later we broke the tie, then they scored again. When it was next intermission the game was tied 2-2. I hope the Hawks score next period. We all stayed in our seats talked about the game. Then I looked up at the big screen, and we were on it! The whole team! Then Teuvo, Andrew, and I started doing the Whip/Nae Nae dance. Emalee, Tyler, and Jamie all looked embarrassed, as Artemi just laughed at us. Then we stopped, waved at the screen, and sat down."That was random!" I said to Andrew & Teuvo, sitting in front of us." That was!" Andrew responded. Emalee and I took selfies, and pictures of the game, and sent them to our friends. Kayla sent us pictures of the dance. Everybody was somewhere busy having fun. We didn't really talk to Jonathan & Patrick. I think they were sitting behind us. Oh well! They were probably enjoying the game just like us. The period started, and there was no score the whole period until the end of the period when there was about three minutes left. One of our players was on a break away. Tyler grabbed Emalee's hand, and she grabbed mine. We were all on the edge of our seats. Teuvo & Andrew were crossing there fingers, and cringing there faces. We were praying that the guy would score. And the guy scored! We all jumped up with glee. When we jumped up, I think I grabbed Artemi's hand because after all the cheering, we sat down I was still holding his hand. We were leaving the game when I saw Emalee hug Tyler before my parents came to pick us up. I wish they were a couple."I got his number!" Emalee said excitedly,"Did you have fun?" "Nah, I was bored!" She said sarcastically. True enough I got Artemi's number as well, even though we might not be able to talk. I did have a fun night. Before I left Artemi, he winked at me, and smiled, then disappeared into the crowd of people. What a cute guy, I think I might like him.
