You were in your senior year of high school. You played sports, maintained good grades, and had a great life with your friends. As normal as your life seemed, it was anything but.
Your brother was hockey superstar Taylor Hall, and that brought around a lot of fame for you and your family around your small home town. Everybody asked about Taylor and how he was doing, but nobody ever asked about you. You were proud of Taylor, but didn't feel like you got all the attention you needed. You were excited though, because for spring break you were going up to Edmonton to hang out with Taylor and watch one of his games.

Finally it was spring break and you were so pumped! You hopped on the plane, and the flight went by surprisingly quickly. When you got off the plane, you saw Jordan Eberle and an unfamiliar guy holding up a sign that read your name on it. Being close with Jordan, you ran up and gave him a hug.
"Where's Taylor?" you ask, happy to see Jordan, but wondering why your brother was too lazy to get you from the airport.
"He had to finish cleaning the apartment, wants only the best for his baby sis," Jordan says, giving you a wink. "Oh, I almost forgot. Y/N, this is Nail Yakupov," he introduced you to the other guy.
"Hi, nice to meet you! I'm Taylor's sister," you explained, holding out a hand for him to shake.
"Pleased to meet you," he smiled, shaking your outstretched hand.

The three of you returned to Taylor's apartment and you all talked and laugh until 1:30 in the morning. Just as you were getting into an intense conversation with Jordan, you noticed Taylor and Nail were gone.

Nail's POV:
"Nail, you need to ask out my sis ASAP!" Taylor giddily told me.
"I don't know man, I don't think she'll say yes." I reply
"Dude, are you insane?! Of course she'll say yes! I see the way she keeps looking at you and blushing whenever you talk. I've seen her do it to every guy she's ever had a crush on! Ask her!" Taylor said, giving me some confidence.

Your POV

Finally Taylor and Nail resurface, huge grins on both of their faces.
"Jordan, come here," Taylor says, luring Jordan away. Nail and you just stood in the kitchen quietly for about 30 seconds when he finally spat out what he was wanting to say.
Y/N, I know we just met 5 hours ago, but you're beautiful and seem like an amazing girl. Will you go to dinner with me tomorrow after the game?"
"Of course I will! I'm so glad you asked."
