The Guy She Never Noticed a. cirelli

AN: hey guys, so if any of y'all were wondering how I picture Layla I wanted to share a pic of who I see her as. Obviously I never mentioned her having a septum piercing but she does have one and it's hidden so her dad doesn't see it. She also she has a nose ring which her dad does know about. Okay, that's all for now folks, enjoy the chapter!!

We pulled up to the arena around three and parked in the spot that was reserved for my dad.

"I never knew you had a reserved spot." I pointed out and he nodded.

"Yup, had one ever since we got here." He replied and turned off the car.

"Huh," I huffed out, "I wish I would've known that way I could've saved myself long walks from when I used to work here."

Dad laughed and opened his car door and got out, fixing his clothes.

I also got out of the car but left my purse in the car knowing that Mikey would probably give me free food.

I closed the car door and we began our trek into the rink locking the car behind us.

Once inside we made a beeline strait to the dressing rooms/dads office to see the team before they went on the ice.

I waved to Mikey as we passed the concession stand and he waved back and yelled "hey college!"

Making our way into the dressing room most of the boys were already in their practice uniforms and were just talking.

I hung in the background while dad went to the center of the room and addressed the team.

"Alright guys, we're not going to go too hard this afternoon. We're going to focus on drills, technique, and scrimmage and then call it a day until tonight. Also we have a new member joining the team for awhile!" He smiled and gestured toward me.

"Layla?" They all questioned out of shock and I waved.

"Sup guys! I'll be your new team photographer, so smile for the camera!"

"And here you said earlier that you wouldn't go to a game!" Tyler smirked.

"Yeah well, things changed." I replied a little sassily.

"We're glad to have you on the team girl! You're ledgendary!" Pat smiled from his cubby area.

"Alright boys, lets get on the ice and get down to buisness!" My dad ordered which sent all the men standing up.

He walked out first and I followed him through the tunnels toward the rink area. I picked up my camera from around my neck and turned it on. It made a little sound and the Nikon label flashed across the screen.

"Whoa when did you get that?" Tyler asked joining my side referring to the camera.

"Literally an hour and a half ago, when I came home, my dad had it waiting." I responded and felt the camera bouncing against my stomach with each step.

"That's dope!" He smiled.

"Yup," I replied popping the p.

We made our way into the rink area and we separated, I went to the sidelines and he went onto the ice. I was standing around fiddling with the camera when I felt a presence come up next to me and tap me on the shoulder.

I whipped my head up and behind me to my right but saw no one so I looked to my left and saw Anthony smiling.

"Hey Zed," he greeted calling me by my middle name.
