ANGELA POV

As Brandon walks away, my mind blows up with thoughts. What did I just agree to? What if we start to become a 'thing'? What if he tells me he likes me? What if it's just a prank? What if he doesn't like me at all? Why am I over thinking all this? I can't wait till practice is over. Stop it, Angela.

The practice is almost over, so I tell my brothers that Brandon wanted to talk to me here.

"Oooooooh! Ang has gotta little crushy wushy!" Anthony says.

"Shut up before I hurt you."

"You couldn't hurt me even if you tried to!" he insists.

"Oh yaa?"' I say as I wack him across the head.

"Owww Angelaa!"

"That's what I thought." I say giving him a smirk.

Nobody messes with a girl hockey player.

All of a sudden I get a light tap on my shoulder, and I turn around and there he is. Brandon Saad.

"Uh hi Angela."

"Hi Brandon!"

"After practice today there is a 'family-fun' hockey game/skating kind of thing. Would you want to play? I mean not as family or anything, just as friends." Brandon asks nervously.

"Sure! Could my brothers tag along too? We have our skates in the car."

"Yeah why not!"

"Anthony, Andrew get over here! Saad invited us to play a little hockey or just skating around with the team. Wanna play?" I ask my brothers.

"Okay, sure. I'll go get our skates in the car!" Andrew says.

"I'm gonna go take a shower now. If you want, you can go by the other wives and girlfriends." Brandon insists as he walks away. "I'll meet you there."

So while Andrew is going to get our skates, me and Anthony start heading over to the wives and girlfriends of the players.

It was starting to get alittle awkward, so I started to play games on my phone. All of a sudden a young woman comes up to us.

"Hi! Im Abby Sharp and who are you?" she ask very politely.

"Hey. I'm Angela Anderson and this is Anthony, my brother. We also have another brother named Andrew, he plays for the.." I get interrupted by her.. "The L.A. Kings. I've heard of him!" she says with a smile. "He's a good player, I gotta say."

"Yeah, you could say that." I laugh.

"Not to be rude or anything but who invited you? I know that sounds really mean but I'm not trying to be." she says.

"Aha not at all! And Saad invited me just as friends, I guess."

"Ooooh Saad! He's a great kid." She says as she smiles. "Let me introduce you to the other wives and girlfriends so you're not so lonely." she says as she leads me over to a group off women.

Abby seems like a very nice person.

"Hi ladies! This is Angela Anderson, sister of Andrew Anderson on the L.A. Kings!" Abby says. " And Angela, this is Dayna Seabrook, Seabrook's wife, Chaunette, Shaw's girlfriend, Kelly Rae Keith, Elina Hjalmarsson, and Amanda Bickell. They are all very nice." Abby says.

"Hi Angela!" They all say.

"Do not ever be afraid or nervous to come talk to us, Angela. We are all hear for you! We are all friends now." Dayna says with a smile on her face.
