Onto this update now...

It is that time of the year again, the World Junior's are upon us and I really couldn't care less about it. Being the older sister to one Barrett Hayton, I have grown up watching him completely adore the sport to the point where he has now become an NHL ice hockey player. I, on the other hand, never saw an interest in it and never really cared for it. Don't get me wrong, I was happy seeing my young brother do something that he loves, I wasn't surprised when he was drafted and when he did get drafted we were all so happy and excited for him, but I never saw why he loved it so much.

So when we found out that Barrett was named on the team Canada roster and then was named their captain, we were so proud and happy, and decided to follow him out to Ostrava, Czech Republic. Honestly, when I found out when we were going to go the Czech Republic, I saw it as a free holiday to a new place I had never been before, I really wasn't interested in watching my brother play for team Canada. But then we got there and surprisingly I found myself excited to watch him play.

I lie on the bed in my hotel room, sprawled out as I flick through the TV channels to watch something to bring me out of my boredom. Tomorrow is Christmas Day and it is the first time we have been away from home, I don't know how to feel about that but I know we are spending it with the rest of the team members and their families. But it just won't be the same. I haven't met any of the other members yet, Barrett has been so busy with practices and I have taken the time to explore the city that we really haven't seen one another lately.

Just as I get comfortable in the bed, the door to my room bursts open and in walks my idiot brother with a giant satisfied grin on his lips. I startle at the bang, jumping up from the bed and grabbing the nearest thing to me, a remote control, and point it in his direction.

"I fucking hate you." I grumble when I finally realise it is Barrett and not some intruder. He laughs evilly at me, throwing himself on the bed and changing the channel when I chucked the remote at him.

"How did you get in here?" I ask as I sit back down beside him, my back resting on the headboard. When I turn my head towards Barrett, I notice another male is in the room with us, he stands near the door and looks towards us nervously. He must be one of Barrett's teammates.

"Mum and dad gave me the spare key." Barrett says with a shrug, getting comfortable and not caring that one of his teammates stands awkwardly in my hotel room. So I take it upon myself to introduce myself to him, it is the least I can do when my idiot brother brings him here with him and doesn't even introduce us to each other.

"You want to introduce me to your friend?" I ask Barrett, giving him a pointed look. Barrett turns his attention to the door and sees his friend standing there awkwardly, laughing to himself and gestures him further into the room which he does. I meet his eyes and oh boy, he is cute. Wait no, I shouldn't think that! I am twenty, he must be the same age as Barrett! Oh no, that is so gross. A twenty year old crushing on a nineteen year old, no I just can't.

"Nolan, this is my annoying older sister. You, this is Nolan he is on the team with me." Barrett says gesturing between the two of us. I look to him, smiling softly to show him I am a nice person unlike my brother. Nolan moves further into the room, relaxing onto the chair facing us.

"It is nice to meet you, Nolan." I tell, giving him a gentle head nod and look at him from under my lashes. I see him return the smile, shifting uncomfortably in the chair and I do too. He is so cute, I wonder if he has a girlfriend... Oh come on! That is gross, I can't date him! I am a year older than him, he is a baby, the same age as my brother. I can't, I just can't.
