When Jack come straight at me to stop me from marking a goal I dodged with ease controlling my body to not give a spin or hitting him with the stick and marking a goal.
And as usual, the ice hockey training passed by me trying to overcome my old habits in the ice, but after almost three years I could, finally, managed to control it.
I tried the hardest to not be the weight of the team. At the begging was hard, even if I was excellent with the skaters it was hard to adapt the heavy pads, sticks, discs, warm clothes and avoid getting hit everything at the same time. Even thou I wasn't a bad player and my coach saying that I am a natural, after all these years I still feel that it isn't good enough and I need to work harder, last year our team was the second at the finals and that is unacceptable.
"Okay guys, good job today!" Coach Jefferson said clapping his hand. "Now go change."
I continued at the ice training some of my moves while the rest of the team either went to the showers or just chatted around. They're dedicated but sometimes I think they're just too lazy or not taking this seriously, we barely trained 3 hours today.
"Come on, everyone, out of the ice!" The coach said in his friendly voice but making everyone stop fulfilling around.
I took a seat on the bench inside the locker room and started to take off the heavy pads form my body, while my friends started to talk about some weird random weird shit.
"I mean, it's freezing! How the fuck are you sweating?!" Raj pointed to my sweaty forehead.
"I don't know, maybe it's because I'm wearing pads, a big-ass t-shirt and basically running in the ice?!" I laughed off his face. "I guess I'm not used to wearing this many clothes."
"Too many clothes?! What the hell did you use to do?! Underwear modeling at Alaska?!" Dave asked raising his eyebrows.
"Gee Dave, stop checking me out!" I laughed pretending to cover my body. "You should take me to dinner before checking out my butt!"
"Adrian you may be hot, but you're not my type." He patted my shoulder before going to his locker.
"Ouch! That hit right into my ego!" I pretended to be offended.
"Oh stop it, you're not even gay!" He rolled his eyes.
"But that doesn't mean that you didn't hurt my feelings right after you objectified my body!" Some of the other players couldn't even pull out with my shit anymore.
"Choi, there's someone looking for you." Our coach entered the lockerroom hearing protests.
"Mrs. Jefferson this is the male locker!" Jimmy, the new guy, said surprised covering his body.
"I see it and I don't care. Come on Adrian, I don't think it's one of your fans." Noelle Jefferson rolled her eyes.
I put a shirt back on and went to the gym. Only to find it practically empty except for a girl who ran and jumped into me. Even thou I was surprised I could catch her with an easy.
"Oh my god, Adrian!" She got off me with this huge smile. "Good to see that you still have your strength and is still skating... If we can call that skating..."
That little nose, beautiful lips, carefully well-made make-up, and straight long hair. All the non-stop talking and too much energy all combined into the same body could only mean one thing.
"Ivy! Is that you?!" I said shocked looking at her.
"Good thing that you could recognize me or else I would be hurt." She joked.
"I would recognize you from everywhere. It's just you look so, so..." Don't say hot. Don't say hot. "Brilliant! You look brilliant, that's why I couldn't recognize you at first."
"Good to know you didn't forget about me!" She gave me a charming smile.
"How would I ever?" I smiled back at her. "But what are you doing here, Ivy? You don't attend this school. How did you find me here?"
"Oh, you see..." She didn't look at my eyes, probably looking for a good excuse. "I went to your house and auntie said that I could find you here..."
"You talked to my mom?" She shacked her head in agreement. "And she gave you the exact address of where you could find me?" She shacked her head again. "Ivy it's 10 am why are you not at the ice ring practicing, what's going on?"
"You see this weird thing happened..." She was cut out by my friends.
"Adrian, won't you present us this beautiful lady?" Raj said blinking one eye to her.
"No, I won't," I said frowning to them. "Get out."
"Rude." She said rolling her eyes but smiling. "I'm Ivanna."
"I'm Rajesh, but you can call me Raj." He shacked her hand. "This is Dave, Juan, and Mike."
"It's a pleasure." Dave kissed her hand.
"The pleasure it's all mine." She said totally checking him out.
"Hey, miss I said you couldn't enter!" The janitor shouted at the door. "You don't attend this school!"
"So, I got to go..." She rolled her eyes. "We can't meet up later, right?" I didn't even answer. "Great, just pick me up at 6. And call me whenever you want, except for training hours, but guess you know my schedule." She smiled giving me a paper with her phone and walked away. "Bye-Bye." She gave me her charming smile.
"See ya!" I waved back to her.
"What was that?! Who is she?!" The boy crowded over me.
"That's my ex. And I think she wants me back..."
