HAZE (On Hold)

Part 41

The next morning, Hailee, Tessa and Jade load their belongings into the back of the van, that is going to drive them to Tampa for the U20 Camp. 

"Is that everything?" The driver asks and they nod. "Okay then let's get on our way." They head to the side of the vehicle, climb in and put their belts on. 

Hailee puts in her Airpods and listens to music while they make the drive between Orlando and Tampa, as Tessa and Jade chat and then put their heads back for a bit. 

The driver lets them know they will be arriving at the hotel in about 10 minutes and that someone from the team will meet them and give them their room assignments and cards. 

After collecting their suitcases they head inside and see Storm waiting in the lobby. Jade drops her stuff and runs over, wrapping her arms around her. 

"Not that I'm complaining, but I thought that you weren't arriving until tomorrow." 

"I asked for an earlier flight so that we could spend some time together before everyone else arrived because I missed you." 

"I missed you too, Stormy." Jade kisses her on the cheek before they rejoin Hailee and Tessa. After hugs are exchanged, they check in with the front desk and are informed that one of the coaches has the assignments and keys, but if they wait she will call up to the room and let them know the players have arrived and are waiting. 

"How is it that you knew when we would be arriving and apparently the Coach didn't, Storm?" Hailee asks the keeper. "I've actually been waiting in the lobby for you guys since lunchtime."

Jade looks at her, "Why didn't you just message me and ask when we would be arriving?" 

"I didn't think of it and it was kinda interesting people watching anyway. If you guys see a big guy in a suit and tie, move far away from him quickly because I swear I almost passed out from the smell of him."  

They laugh and chat until the coach comes along and gives them what they need to move out of the lobby and up to their rooms.

Not seeming inclined to want to change the rooming assignments from previous camps, Hailee and Jade once again find themselves rooming together, which neither of them minds. 

Jade drops her stuff off before her and Storm head to the keeper's room to presumably get reacquainted before Amanda arrives to share the room the next day. 

Hailee sends Tessa a message and they decide being, the odd women out to hang out together for the balance of the afternoon. 

"Any idea where you want to go or what you want to do, Tessa?" 

"Not really, I'd have been fine with just sleeping or watching a movie." 

"Movie sounds good, I wonder what's playing in theatres near here." 

"Yo, check it - this one has flashback movies and is playing Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, want to go?" 

Tessa nods and Hailee orders them an Uber. 

A half an hour later, they are sitting in a large theatre with about a dozen other people as the chosen wizards from the three magical schools compete in the "Triwizard Tournament." 

Hailee notices Tessa crying when Cedric is killed and wraps her arm around her. 

"Sorry, I've seen this how many times and his death still gets to me." 

"It's okay, I get it." 

The movie finishes and they head out to get something to eat before returning to the hotel.
