The Ice

Chapter One

December 19th 2016

"Oh my God Dylan! That's fantastic!" I said extremely happily into my iPhone 6s. "I am so happy for you!" I said just as happily.

"You're coming to the game tonight, right?" Dylan asked.

"Yup, every single game. And I need to talk to you about something tonight too." Dylan sighed. "No nothing like that. Okay I gotta go so I'll see you tonight, love you." I said.

"I love you too, gorgeous." Dylan and I hung up our phones. I smiled to myself. Dylan Strome just got named Captain Canada. The Captain of the World Juniors Canada Team. I am so happy and proud of him. I finished putting on my normal makeup after that and put on a pair of black jeans. Because of the good news I also put on Dylan's team Canada jersey from last year. I pulled my long straight blonde hair into a high pony tail and put on an Arizona Coyotes baseball cap. The one Dyl gor when he was drafted to be exact. I went downstairs with my phone in hand and backpack on my back, into the kitchen to get an apple. I sat down and ate the apple while scrolling through Instagram. They were almost all pictures of Dylan and his friends on the hockey team. I looked looked my notifications and saw that I got tagged in a photo posted by Tyson Jost. It was a picture of him, his girlfriend and my best friend, Vicki, Dylan, and me. It was right after a practice that Vicki and I watched. We were each wearing one of their jerseys so the picture looked super cute. I liked the picture and commented,

'Oh what cuties we are. Except for mt face like please just blur that no makeup thanks Tys.😂'

I stood up from the table and grabbed my jacket and truck keys, then headed out to my truck. Its an not new, but not super old truck. Red '04 Dodge Ram.  I started the truck and drove to school jamming along to Bottoms Up by Brantley Gilbert. I drove to Vicki's house and she got in and right away changed the radio station.

"Everyday, huh?" I asked her laughing a little bit.

"Yeah basically." Vicki laughed with me and we both were singing along to Here Comes Santa Claus.

"Did you see what Tyson posted today?" Vicki asked me as we walked into the school.

"Yeah what a gross picture." I said. "Oh yeah did you hear?!" I asked excitedly.

"I've heard a lot of things what thing are you talking about?"

"Michael McLeod on the team too, asked Allie out!"

"Seriously?" Vicki asked as we walked to her locker.

"Yeah, and technically its all because of me and Dylan." I said jokingly and flipping mt hair.

"No like I know you're joking and normally I probably would say that Tyson and I helped, I  mean we did but not like you. Because if you never started dating  Dylan, you never would've helped me and Tyson start dating which would've never helped this." She took off her jacket and put it in her locker and closed it again. We started walking toward my locker so I could do the same. There was still 20 minute before school actually started. After that we walked into the cafeteria and sat with a lot of our friends.

"Hey Sam, I heard this morning that Stromer was named captain of team  Canada." One of my friends Jordan said, he's also in my music class. I smiled.

"Yeah he is." I said happily.

"Nice shirt, is it Dylan's?" Cam asked.

"From last year. He's #19 this year so he doesn't need to wear a number nine." I answered. After a little while longer the bell rang and I went to my first class, English. Its the only class I actually have to take this year so I can't complain much, but I do anyway.
