You're My Target

Chapter 66

Troy glided in a circle on a frozen pond. the same pond he took soyeon to on their date, he looked down at the skates on his feet and took a deep breath. he held a hockey stick in his hand and gripped it tightly. he exhaled and swung the stick down and swatted a pine cone hard, sending it right smack into a can he had placed on the bench on the edge of the pond.

"looks like you still got the skills." Boram said walking up to the pond from behind him.

Troy was startled by her being there.

"Boram?" he said.

"look at you. loitering around instead of going to school like some delinquent." she laughed.

"hey, i got suspended. you on the other hand SHOULD be at school and how did you even know i was here?" Troy asked as he skated over to her.

"yea well, i took a day off so i could see Eunjung before she left. and you mentioned last night you might come here if the pond was still frozen." Boram replied.

"yea, i guess i did. they said this sudden cold front might be the last of the cold for the season. figured id, try to get one last session in since i wont be getting them anywhere else. though, it wasnt as fun as i thought it would be." Troy sighed feeling sorry for himself.

"troy, troy, troy." boram sighed. "if you miss soyeon so much, just go see her."

"i just dont know what to say right now... i think i sealed my fate when i hit jun." Troy hung his head.. "no, i think even before that."

"well troy. you know im your friend. and you know im soyeons friend. and all i can say is, yes soyeon was a little aggravated by your actions, she doesnt hate you. your fate isnt sealed or whatever. it wouldnt hurt her to get in touch." Boram explained.

"yea well. what about her. i go missing and she doesnt even try to contact me or see me? its like she doesnt care." Troy said getting defensive.

"she saw you while you were in the hospital but you were still out cold. give her a break." Boram said defending soyeon.

"o. well i didnt know. sorry." Troy quickly felt bad for what he said.

"yea well, buck up tough guy stop feeling sorry for yourself. you just gonna stand there or are you gonna teach me how to do that hockey stuff with you?" Boram said changing the subject. Troy looked puzzled. "oh is that something you only do for soyeon? fine then. didnt mean to cross any lines."

Troy picked up a nearby pine cone on the blade of his hockey stick, and flicked it up at borams head. it bounced off her forehead. she stood there baffled for a second.

"did you just hit me with a pine cone?" she said getting red in the face.

"yea i did. that was your first lesson." troy smiled.

"and what lesson was that?" Boram said almost with a snort.

"off the ice you might be queen bee, but on the ice, not so much." Troy smiled down at her.

"troy im going to kick your skinny butt all over this ice!" she shouted and tried to grab troy, but he quickly skated backwards away from her. Boram had no footing on the slick ice and could not catch up to troy who skated circles around her, taunting her the whole time.

"queen bee cant sting what she cant catch" troy said poking her playfully with his stick.

"keep this up and your future with soyeon is gona be gone so fast you will be sorry. hot shot." Boram threatened.

"go ahead and try it!" troy shouted as he darted right at boram ducking down and lifting her over his shoulder.

"put me down Troy!" she said hitting his back with her fists.
