Adam Banks ( my brothers best friend)

Chapter 3

                                    Charlotte's pov 🌹

                                                   I walked towards the Frozen lake just as the sun was setting.

I stuffed my hands in the pockets​ of my coat, as I look around for Adam but no one was here.

Charlie's skates were a little big on me but I always used them so it didn't matter.

Me and Charlie would always play hockey in the backyard when we were kids. I used to have my own skates but I grew out of them.

I laced up the skates and started to skate while I was waiting. The air was still and quiet. It was peaceful.

"Wow I didn't know you could skate like that". A voice said.

  I jumped and lost my balance and fell on my butt.

I look up to see Adam holding his hand out to help me up.

"Jesus how long have you been standing there"? I said giving him a glared and taking his hand.

"Long enough". He said smirking.

  He pulled me up a little too hard and I ended up walking into his chest.

"Sorry Banksie". I said looking away as my face blushed.

I looking down at our hands which were still connected.

I quickly pulled my hand away.

"Should we start with some skating drills?"He said awkwardly.

"Yeah sure". I said

"Do a lap around the lake". He said.

"Are you serious". I said.

"C'mon it's just one lap". He said.

I started off around the edge of the lake. I quickly quickened​ my pace.  I felt Adam watching me from the middle.

I finished up fast and skated back towards Adam.

"Okay so you don't need help skating." He said.

"Yeah Captain obvious you saw me earlier so the lap didn't matter". I said.

"Whatever". Adam said looking away from me like he was thinking what to do.

"We could start with passing". He said.

He walked over to the bag of equipment he brought and took out two sticks and a puck.

He handed me a stick.

I looked at the stick he gave me. "Isn't this your favorite stick  Adam. You always use it in your games."

He shrugged "Yeah it is but I want you to use it. It's lucky".

He skated across from me with the puck and stopped a few inches away.

"You want to have nice hard passes so you have more control of the puck. He said passing me the puck.

" I stopped the puck but it went off the stick and slid away from me.

"You want to be able to cradle the puck so it doesn't move away from you." He said.

I passed it back to him and watched how he used his stick to stop it.

"Now you try". He said passing it back to me.

I did what he told me to do and caught the puck with my stick not letting it slid away from me.

"That's good". He said smiling.

"I know" I said smirking.

"Oh so now we are being a smart ass".  He said smiling.

"Yeah". I said passing it hard back to him

He just smiled.

;

We spent most of the time passing the puck back and fourth to each other, which eventually turned into a 1on 1 game. I don't know how but I ended up winning.

It was a sloppy and goofy, fun game due to the fact that we were laughing the whole time.

We ended up laying back on the cold ice breathing hard to catch our breaths.

"Are you coming over for Christmas Eve tomorrow?" I said looking at the Stars.

"Yeah Charlie said I could."

It was snowing now.

"I love when it snows. It's so quiet and calming." I said.

I looked over at Adam who was already staring at me. He smiled.

"Yeah.Me too".
