Drunk Driving

"Cat!" Dad yelled and I ran down the hall. "Yeah?" I asked "Are you ready for practice?" He asked "Yeah." I said "Go get your stuff. You'll have to walk home from practice today. I have a case." He said.

Incase you don't know who I am. I'm Catherine Bombay. I go by Cat. I look like my dad. Brown hair, brown eyes. I don't know anything about my mom except when she had me a few months later she left. Just walked out on me. I've only ever had my dad and my team. I play pee wee hockey for the Hawks. Dad played for them when he was my age. Messed up the championship in '72. He is a lawyer now, we have money, I've grown up with anything I've wanted. The only thing I haven't wanted was a mom.

I ran back to my room and got all my things. Uniform, pads, hockey stick, and skates. I changed into jeans, a black and blue hawks tanktop and my hawks jacket. I slid on my black converse and grabbed my stuff and walked to dads red sports car. He drove me to the hawks rink. "Love you Cat. See you tonight." He said. It is about 8:30 in the morning I have practice till about 12:30. "Love you too dad. Remember it's not worth wining if you can't win big. Good luck in the case today." I said and shut the door and walked inside. We did our thing and did laps, sprints and then worked on plays. Plays was the hard part. We finished about 30 minutes late. So I went and changed and walked home. My teammates are a guys and I don't hang around with them. They think I'm too aggressive. "Kitty Cat!" McGill yelled "Yes fish boy?" I said "Where's you dad and that sports car?" He asked "Work. Gotta get money." I said. McGill ran to go hang with Banks. I finished my walk home. I unlocked the door and walked into the house locking it behind me. I dropped my bags and walked in the kitchen. I had gotten the mail on the way up and saw there was a letter to me. I saw who it was from. Sydney Drister. My mother. I tore up the letter like I had done with the last 100 she sent me. I walked to the fridge and grabbed sandwich stuff and made a turkey sandwich. I walked to the couch and turned the tv on. I looked at the time. 3:30 it took me almost two hours to walk home. I walked into my bathroom and showers then put on a big t-shirt and some shorts. I brushed my hair and put it into a french braid. I walked back out and grabbed an apple and went back to my room to do homework from yesterday. I sat at my desk for hours doin my English homework. Soon I decided dad would be home super late and just ended up falling asleep at my desk.

I woke up and I was still on my desk. I got up and put my glasses on and then walked out into the house. "Dad!" I yelled and he wasn't answering. I walked into his room and saw his bed empty. Weird. I decided to just eat and go to school. I went to the kitchen and got a piece of toast and water then ate. I pulled my braids out of my hair and it was wavy then I put on ripped skinny jeans, a Guns N' Roses shirt and a leather jacket. Then I slipped on my black and white converse and grabbed my bag and left.

————————AT SCHOOL—————————
I walked into my science class and saw d-5. Gosh these guys are so nice compared to my team. I was friends with most of them. Despite me being a hawk. I was the one hawk they were ok with. "Cat." Jessie said and moved his foot from an empty desk. "Hey guys." I said "Why are you so tired?" Connie asked "My dad had a case yesterday and so I had to walk home after practice with the hawks. Then I had homework. I fell asleep on my desk last night." I said "Dang." Peter said "Anyways. I heard from my coach that in two days we are playing you guys." I said as I sat on my desk. "Well. I know you'll take it easy." Karp said. Then our teacher came in and we had to be quite. It was half way through class and there was a knock on the door. I looked up and the teacher pointed to me. "What did you do now Cat?" Charlie asked "No clue." I said and grabbed my stuff and walked to the door. "Come with me Ms. Bombay." The principal said. We walked to his office. There were two cops standing in there. "Your father was arrested last night. His court case is today. They are taking you." The principal. I put my stuff in my bag and by now it was recess so everyone was in the front of the school. Great. I was taken by the two cops. I looked back and saw my friends worried. They took my to dads office and I sat there. About two or three hours later dad came in. "What happened?" I asked "I lost my case yesterday. I was drunk driving. They took my license away." He said. Then dads boss came in and they talked. My dad ended up having community service. He gave him a list a something and then me and dad got in a limo. The next day I woke up and dad told me not to have my hawk stuff on.
I went to school and saw my friends. "Cat!" They yelled and ran to me, "Why were you taken away by cops yesterday?" Charlie asked "My dad was arrest on drunk driving charges. They let him go but he has no license and has to do community service." I said "Well." They said. We went though the day like normal. Soon it was the end of the day and I walked home. Dad was there this is odd. "Hey Cat. Can we talk?" He said and I sat on the couch. "So as my community service, they are making me coach a hockey team. District 5." He said. "I'm friends with that team." I said "Well that's good because you are going to play for me." He said "Really?" I asked "Yes Cat." He said "Good because I hate playing for the hawks." I said. "I need to to their rink and formally quit so." I said "Well we are, correction, I am meeting the team tonight so. I will take you by the hawks rink and then to our practice." He said. I ran and pulled on a think flannel. Then grabbed my skates and stuff. We walked out and I got in the limo and we drove to the hawks rink. I climbed out and ran inside. "Hey coach can I talk to you?" I asked walking in his office "What is it Cathrine?" He asked "Um so I can't play for you anymore. There's stuff going on in my life and hockey can't be on my list anymore." I lied. "We hate to see such a good hawk go. But we understand. You may go clean your locker." He said and dismissed me. I walked into the locker room and saw the guys. Ugh. "Hey Kitty Cat." Larson said "Call me that again and you'll loose your eyes." I said "Oh Cats getting her yarn in a ball." McGill said. I walked over to my locker and shoved everything in my bag. "Bye losers!" I yelled "We have practice Cat where are you going?" Banks asked "I'm not playing anymore." I said and walked out. I met dad outside in his limo and we drove. "Sir." The driver said. "Drive our on the ice." Dad said. I like at him like he's crazy. But we drove on the ice and dad said "Wait till I knock on the window then come out." And get out shutting the door behind him. Three taps on the glass. I pulled open the door and climbed out. I leaned against the door after I had shut it. "Cat?" They asked "Hey guys." I said "Well this is surprising." Connie said and walked up to me. I knew dad wasn't going to be nice. "Hey dad. Can I have today off you know. Since I just quite the hawks." I said "Yeah. Just stay out here and watch." He sId "You five against you Four." Dad said "We have names you know." Goldberg said "I'm sure there very nice names maybe one day I'll even learn them. If you need me I'll be in my office. Fax me." He said with a chuckle then got in the car. "Ok District 5 Let's go." I yelled and they took off. After about 30 minutes Guy had the idea to just climb on the car. They did and then we climbed in. I sat in my spot and dad made the driver take us for a ride. Then Charlie's mom showed up and we had to stop. I stayed in the car while she yelled at dad. Soon we left and I fell asleep in the car. "Cat. Catty wake up." Dad said. I opened my eyes and saw I was in my room. "What time is it?" I asked "6:45. I carried you in last night. It's Tuesday. Your almost out for Christmas break." He said. I decided to just get dressed and go to school. I walked up and the hawks were standing at my locker. "Hey Kitty." McGill said "Will you just move!" I said "Ummmm let me think about that... NOO!" Larson said. "You've got to the count of three to move." I said "What's Kitty gonna do? Claw is." McGill laughed. "Cat what's going on here?" Charlie asked walking up behind me. "It's nothing Charlie." I said "Did you ditch us for them?" Larson asked "I didn't ditch you. I switched teams." I said "Well now Kitty why'd you do that?" McGill asked "Hey fish boy can it before I turn you into tuna!" I snapped. "Kitty Cat listen to me. You see the hawks we were the best thing that happened to you. Especially when your mom walked out on you. She just up and left." Larson said. "Cat got your tongue?" McGill laughed. I looked at them then my team. I slammed my locker. "Listen here. You two I've had enough of. Bully me one more time. You'll  be on the ground faster than you can say triple deke." I said "Look kitty's claws coming out." Larson said. I clenched my fist and punched Larson in the face. "Cathrine Bombay. In my
office now!" The principal yelled. I walked over and she told me I have detention. She made me call dad. "Hey Cat what's up?" He asked "I kinda punched a kid. Larson to be exact. He was bullying me and I've had enough so I hit him." I said "Cat." He said "I know. I've gotta go." I said and hung the phone up. I was sent to a room by myself and I felt my hands being sticky. I looked down and saw blood. Great I busted my hand up. I grabbed the wrap from my bag and covered my hand. I had to stay in this room for the whole day. Soon it was time for hockey. I walked with the guys to the rinks and we precticed.
