Your POV

Today was the day that my best friend (Y/F/N) would drag me to Ontario where the Oshawa Generals would play the London Knights in their first regular season game of the season. I have nothing against hockey, actually I love the sport but today I really didn't feel like traveling all the way to Ontario to see a game.

When we arrived at the arena people had just started filing in. I told (Y/F/N) that I needed to run across the street and grab a tube of Chapstick since I had left mine at home. After I grabbed my Chapstick I figured that I might as well grab some snacks for the game. As I rounded the corner of the chip aisle I collided head on with a hard chest. My results from running into this hard chested person landed me on my butt. I looked up to find a hand extended to me by a guy around my age.

"I'm so sorry I wasn't looking where I was going and I was picking up some things for my friends and-" he said in a frustrated voice.

I took his hand and cut him off saying "Its fine I shouldn't have rounded the corner so quickly"

He let out a sigh and ran his fingers through his hair. I looked up at him and said "You seem frustrated..." He looked at me and said "You're right about that I just have something to prove"

I put my hand on his shoulder and said "I know I have no idea who you are but I see greatness in your eyes and I know great moments... are born from great opportunity"

All of a sudden a bubble of laughter escaped his lips and he asked "Did you just quote Miracle?" I blushed and looked down shyly at the floor. "That's cool I like a girl who knows her hockey, oh and by the way I'm Boone" I smiled and stuck out my hand saying "It's a pleasure to meet you I'm (Y/N)" Just as he shook my hand my phone started to ring and I reached inside of my purse to see that it was (Y/F/N) who was calling. I turned to Boone and quietly excused myself. (Y/F/N) wanted to know what was taking me so long and I told her they there was a long line. When I returned to Boone he was looking at his watch. When he had noticed I had returned he gave me a sympathetic look and said "It was really nice to meet you but I need to go I would love to get to know you better, could I call you?" I smiled and nodded my head and he handed me his phone so that I could input my number into his iPhone. As he walked away I yelled after him "Achieve greatness" He turned around and smiled at me and gave me a wink.

When I made it inside of the arena I found (Y/F/N). Our seats were at center ice and after meeting Boone I couldn't be more excited to enjoy the game. As the national anthem was being sung I took a quick glance at the players on the home team. They looked ready for the season to start and they looked like they were ready to play some hockey. Halfway into the first period I got a phone call from my mom and went into the concourse to answer it, while I was on the phone with her I heard the goal horn sound and looked to see that the Generals were up 1-0. My mom kept rambling on and on and I just wanted to get back to the game but before we said our good byes the goal horn sounded again. I looked to see that the score was now 2-0 with the Generals still in the lead. By the time that I had made it back to my seat it was already intermission. (Y/F/N) turned to me and said "Oh my gosh you just missed the best goals! The guy that scored the goals is so dreamy!" I just shook my head. The game continued on and (Y/F/N) nudged me whispering in my ear "Twenty two keeps looking this way!" I looked up to see his back turned to me. With one minute left in the game number twenty-two darted up the ice and faked a shot passed it to his linemate who passed it back to number twenty-two and shot at the net going in the too right hand corner. He jumped with joy as hats flew onto the ice. He skated in front of me and looked directly at me winking and saying "Thank you" I looked at him in shock and gave him a smile.

As we were walking to the car after the game my phone beeped signaling a text. I pulled it out of my purse to read it. It said:

Those were for you, did I achieve greatness?

-Boone Jenner

I laughed and replied by saying:

You most certainly did Mr. Hotshot!

-(Y/N)

I got a reply almost instantly saying:

I owe my success to you. I owe you. Dinner tomorrow at 6?

-Boone Jenner

I replied happily saying:

If you must, I'll see you then Boone.

-(Y/N)

Goodnight beautiful, I'll see you soon.

-Boone Jenner
