Before the ice melts

"Come on Parker we've got to head home" I say grabbing his arm and pulling him towards me as he waves to the girl and leaves.

"Well I've never seen you jealous before" Conner says as we walk down the chaotic halls, I stop as he takes another step in front of me and looks down I glare up at him and try to prevent myself from a smile.

"I'm not jealous I just don't like her"

"You barely know her"

"I do know her, I just don't like her"

"When did you take the time to know her?"

"When she pushed me down the stairs at the beginning of my first year here, and then when she tried to run me over with her car a month in,she made up rumors of me sleeping with other guys then when she –" I say to him listing off the things that this girl has done to me.

"Okay, okay I get it she's a dick" he says as I slightly smile and start to walk with Conner again when he stops me and looks at me with red eyes, "She made up rumors about you with other guys?" he says to me, I nod my head and laugh at him slightly.

"Well I've never seen you jealous before" I say throwing his words back at him, he smiles and hooks his arm around my shoulders as we walk outside and meet up with Ronny and Beth as she drives us to the ice skating rink. Beth skating showing off on how amazing she is at it while Conner and I play around with the Ice hockey gear, the jerseys nowhere to be found anywhere though the gear is in good condition. 

"Wanna play a round?" I ask finding a puck and throwing up and catching it in my hand, Conner smiles and Beth laughs as I chuck them all some sticks, we get on the gear and we team up, Boys verse Girls.

"You know this is a little bit unfair, we don't have werewolf powers!"

"Fine then we won't use our powers!" Conner shouts back, I smile and turn to Beth as she nods her head, "Go!" Conner thunders out, we speed for the Puck, Beth and Conner going head to head while Ronny and I protect the goals, Beth pushes past Conner but he manages to grab the ball off of her and throws it to the side of the barrier, Beth chases it though she looses the ball as Conner shoots it going between my legs.

"No!" I shout grabbing the puck and throwing it back into the center Beth going after it getting frustrated when she keeps missing and Conner continues grabbing the puck off of her, Beth skates over to me puffing from exhaustion.

"Okay lets switch it up" she says as we call half time and switch it up, I heave off the goalies protection gear and help Beth put it on, while Ronny and Conner talk on the other side.

"May wanna watch Conner's legs"

"Why?" Beth asks me once I shove on the chest armor.

"Because he goes for his left leg first then his right" I say as I tie her up, once she's got everything on we get back onto the ice and I smile seeing Conner's eyes, though he didn't want to use his wolf it is still out. Ronny shouts for us to go and we speed to the puck, I hit it under his legs and manages to get it past him though now I had to deal with an alpha on my heels, I can hear him growling behind me and Beth screaming at me to speed up faster.

"Go! You've got this!" Beth belts out at the top of her lungs, I manage to trick him into thinking that I'll go around and he slams into the side, I hit it in and Ronny misses it just in time for me to shoot it in.

"Yes!" I as throwing my arms up in the air, pretending that the ring is full of an audience, I skate over to Beth and we fall onto the ground laughing, Conner and Ronny skate over to us joining in, I kiss Conner on the cheek and Beth and Ronny skate off to take off their gear, Conner snakes an arm around me and smiles at me cupping my cheek and kissing me.

"Congrats on the win"

"Thanks it took a lot of training"

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah I mean there's these three friends of mine that have helped me through my entire life back at my home town, we'd go to the local rundown skating rink and play games" I say with a joke making him throw back his head laughing, eventually we grab all of the gear and get ready to pack up, throwing the pucks, goalie gear and the nets into the cupboard and locking it, the others all in the car outside when I see a blue jersey peaking out of the bottom of one of the benches in the locker room, picking it up it has the old the team and the number twenty seven on the back. Lawrence. Written on the top of it, I smile and pick it up hearing the honk from outside as I run out and lock the glass front door.

"What's that?" Beth asks me when I look at the jersey on my lap.

"It's a jersey, I'm gonna wash it and probably pin it up on the wall back at the rink" I say to them as she smiles and drives off, she drops us off at home, Ronny and Conner are both over as we walk in and I see someone on the couch, I jump at the sight of him, dropping the jersey and running to their side.
