Puck you, babe. [A.M.]

I can't wait for tonight! It's our biggest game of the season! We're playing our schools rival, the Ravens.

Keagan and I are currently driving to the rink together. We had a movie night and he fell asleep. He's been telling me he has a surprise for me for days, maybe even a couple weeks, but he won't spill what it is. Honestly, it's pissing me off, because he knows that I hate surprises.

Jumping out of my jeep, I run around to open the trunk. Grabbing my bag, I lift it out and rest the straps on my shoulder.

"You ready, Keag?"

"Yep, let's go kick some ass!"

Walking into the rink with our bags on our shoulders and our sticks in our hands, the Ravens team captain turns in our direction.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't little Miss bad ass."

"Watch it Scott! If you don't recall, I can -and will- kick your ass, bud!" I shout, pointing at him and continuing my walk to the locker room. After that, he quietly waited for the concession worker to get his blue Gatorade.

"Bud? Really?"

"Shut up Keagan." I say, pushing him into the wall we're walking past.

"Ow, babe. What the hell?"

Looking over to Keagan, I flick him off and continue walking through the door to the locker room.

I set my sticks down, and walk back out with my bag to the girls' bathroom since coach wont let me change in front of the boys.

He claims it'll distract them too much to play the game.

After putting all my equipment on, i grab my bag and throw it onto my shoulder and bend over to pick up my skates and my helmet.

I get dressed before our workouts so that, 1 i actually get a good workout in with the extra weight, and 2 so that i can sit in the locker room when everyone else gets dressed and coach tells us the plays we're doing.

Walking into the locker room, i set my bag along with my skates and helmet down in front of the bench agaisnt the wall.

Walking out, i stand in my usual spot next to Keagan to start our warm ups.

Stepping out onto the ice, everything vanishes from my mind. I don't hear the crowd, I don't hear my coach, I don't hear my teammates, nothing. I enter my own world and get ready to play my game and live my life; to do what I love most. Play hockey. 

Since I'm on first line, i skate over to the goal line and wait for them to annouce our names and play the national anthem.

After that, I skate over to the bench and listen to what plays the coach is telling us to do first.

8 to 3. We won. We beat our rivals. Getting off of the ice after shaking hands with the ravens' team, we all walk into the locker room to celebrate some more. Everyones jumping and yelling, happy as can be about this win.

Keagan struts over to me and lays his hand on my shoulder, excitedly asking me, "Hey, you ready for your surprise?"

"I finally get it?" I practically yell, all of the boys stop yelling themselves and look at me thinking i meant something else.

"Boys, i did not mean that in that way." I tell them giving them all a glare.

Hoots, hollars, and snarky comebacks were shouted back at me.

"Yeah, you finally get it. So hurry up. Coach said you can change in here tonight."

Keagan wouldn't let me leave the locker room until he was done. He wouldn't even let me go to the other locker room coach leaves open for me so that i can shower. So that little shit got to shower and i didn't. I dont mind the smell because im use to it but, i would rather shower.

Anyway, Keagan is behind me, holding his hands over my eyes, directing me out of the locker room.

"Okay.... are you ready?"

"Yes keag, I've been ready for weeks." I fire back at him.

The second he uncovers my eyes, someone yells "Surprise!"

Realizing who it is a fraction of a second later, I scream and jump into their arms, hugging them as tight as possible, tears now streaming down my face.

"I m-missed you s-so much!" I choke out, putting my head into the crook of Alex's neck.

"I missed you too, princess. But theres no reason to cry.. I'm staying for a while."

"Oh my god! Alex!" That just caused me to sob harder because I honestly can't begin to explain how much i missed him.

Alex rubs my back and whispers cute little things into my ear to try and calm me down.

"I love you, Alex."

"Hey! You better love me too!"

Stepping out of alexs arms, i turn to keagan, "Oh i do love you, keag!"

"You better Peyton! You have another guest, why dont you say hi."

Confused, i spin around meeting eyes with breathtaking hazel orbs.
