16| You'll be calling me coach in no time

"WE BROUGHT YOU A MUFFIN but Averman decided to eat it on the way..." Connie sighed as she sat on Nova's couch. Guy leaned against the bottom of the couch as he sat on the floor while Averman was sprawled out on the ground with his hands behind his head like a pillow.

Nova just finished putting in The Karate Kid CD as she crawled over and sat on the small sofa chair with her legs crossed underneath her.

"It's fine... i probably wouldn't have eaten it since McGill's face makes me want to puke" Nova chuckled as she imitated a vomit face.

Averman sat up and leaned against his hands for support behind him. "speaking of, what did Banks want?"

Nova furrowed her eyebrows, "what do you mean?"

"well, i saw you guys talking and stuff. doesn't he hate us or something?"

Nova shrugged, "i don't know. I don't think he hates us though... he was just walking me home since were neighbours and all that."

"is he nice?" Guy piped up

Nova looked at him and sucked a deep breath of air, "yeah i guess... he ain't as bad as the other hawks at least"

Averman chuckled to himself, "Charlie would have flipped if he heard you say that..."

"oh come on, Averman," Connie laughed, "Charlie doesn't mind him"

Guy looked at Connie with a smile, "that's an understatement"

"no seriously. I don't think Charlie doesn't like Banks. I think he just doesn't like the Hawks in general."

"yeah well the hawks are pretty awful," Averman said before glancing over at Nova to see her staring down at her lap. Averman caught his words, "Except for you, Nova. Besides, you're barely a Hawk anyway... You'll always be a duck"

Connie and Guy nodded in agreement as Nova smiled at them all. "Thanks guys... i just hate this entire situation so much."

"yeah me too..." Connie sighed, "i don't know what we'll do tonight without you..."

"Win." Nova smiled, "do it for me..."

Averman smiled and got up before patting her shoulder supportively, "we will... as for me.. i'm going to go eat your food"

Connie and Guy snorted while Nova brushed Averman's hand off her shoulder playfully, "yeah whatever- go knock yourself out"

Averman squealed like a girl before dancing off to the kitchen. "cha cha cha cha aye!" Averman sang horribly as he danced off, "yummy food food aye!"

Nova rolled her eyes and looked at Connie and Guy. However, just as Guy was about to say something, Nova heard the phone ring. She pushed herself up lazily as she groaned and shuffled her feet towards the yellow phone that hung on the wall.

"hello?" she said while rubbing her eyes and twirling the cord.

"Hey kid," She heard a familiar voice say through the phone, "It's Bombay"

"Oh uh.. Hey coa- Bombay.."

Instantly, Connie and Guy snapped their attention upwards. She glanced at them to see their eyebrows raised in confusion and amusement.

"You have practice today, right?"

"Mhm" Nova nodded

"what time?"

Nova glanced around the room and tried to find a clock while also trying to remember what time Adam said practice was at

"Uhhh..." Nova stalled before finally finding a clock on the wall. It read 5:45. Suddenly, Nova's eyes widened and and gasped, "Right now?! Gosh i'm gonna be late! I gotta go coach!"

Nova quickly hung up the phone before she rushed upstairs and grabbed her hockey bag. She slung her skates over her shoulder before she grabbed her stick and went back down. She had almost forgotten that Connie, Guy and Averman were at her house.

"Averman! when she said, 'knock yourself out' she didn't mean literally!" Guy exclaimed from the kitchen. Connie rolled her eyes and pulled the two boys out of the kitchen by hand as Nova had slipped off the first step. As she managed to stay up, she heard a loud honk from outside. Connie smirked at her as she panted in panic.

"Come on!" Connie said before rushing out the door. The four kids saw Charlie and Ms Conway in a van with the door wide open.

Charlie rolled down his window, "Heard you needed a ride to practice!"

"Oh my god," Nova smiled as she ran towards the car and shoved her stuff inside, "Charlie, i could kiss you right now"

Guy, Connie and Averman hopped into the car, their hockey bags all already in the car somehow.

"please don't" Charlie sneered

Nova rolled her eyes playfully as she put he seatbelt on. Her leg bounced up and down repeatedly as Charlie and Averman remarked that it was her first practice and she was already late.

Luckily, the car ride there was only about seven minutes so the moment they arrived, Nova hopped out the car, grabbed her stuff, and zoomed into the arena.

"Good luck on your game" she said quickly before she left. She entered and looked frantically around until she spotted the hawks on one of the rinks. She began to jog towards it, not looking where she was going since she was in such a rush.

Nova ended up bumping into someone which she mumbled a quick sorry too before she had nearly zoomed off again.

"Wait!" The person called out, "kid."

She turned and saw Bombay standing there with a clam expression. A man beside him was suited like a business man.

"Coach? er- wait... what should i call you" Nova stuttered

Bombay smiled and shook his head, "don't you worry about that- you'll be calling me coach in no time"

Nova furrowed her eyebrows, "um- as much as i would like to ask... i am very late to practice and i really need to go"

"me too.. i have some business to attend to.."

Nova cocked her head to the side slightly before shaking it off and running off to the rink. Bombay followed in her trail with the sophisticated man. As Nova was just about to enter the locker room, Bombay grabbed her by the back of her hoodie and pulled her back.

"no need for that." Bombay said bluntly, "leave your bag here and come- just trust me."

Before the girl could respond, Coach and the man had walked off. Nova was hesitant but placed her bag down before walking over in the direction they left.

She was confused on what was happening as she stepped onto hawk ice without anything but a pair of white converse, a black hoodie saying Ravens Soccer, and a whole lot of questions.
