"Tell me something Nairobi Cortes, do you love Luis Mendoza?"
"Mendoza" I repeated, giving some thought and responding "Even the name gives me butterflies"

"Nai! Time to wake up!"
I slowly sat up as the bright sun hits my face, what happened yesterday? Oh right, I was offered to join a team. At least I have something to do other than stay at home.
"Morning mamá" I greeted her as she handed me a plate of pancakes.
"Morning my love. Just for the record, are you sure you're gonna be okay while I'm gone? I can make some changes-"
"Yes mamá" I assure her "Everything will be under control"
She sighs of relief "I know, but sometimes it can be hard and all-"
"Don't worry about me. I'll take care of Nico and clean the house. Just like I did back in Miami"
"Alright, I better get going. There is some money in the kitchen counter in case you want anything. I'll see you later"
As she closes the door behind her I quickly ate my pancakes and cleaned the house. I was always used to this, because it made me independent. I also liked cleaning for some reason, but that's not the case. I poured some food for Nico while I grabbed my hockey stick and skates.
"Bye Nico! I'll see you later" I smile as I closed the door behind me.
I started to run to the same park from yesterday. Luckily I was able to remember my way in just a day. As I reached the park, I quickly search for them, but I didn't see Goldberg or his friends anywhere.
"Might as well play some games with random people now that I'm here"I thought as I put my skates on.
I always loved to play with random people, mostly because I love to see the way they skate. Some will be clumsy, some reckless and others smooth but careful. They were unique in their own way, and I enjoyed that.
Surprisingly, people actually wanted to play with me. Most of them heard about me from yesterday and wanted to see how I played. I found that quite amusing. I started in a simple game, three on three, up to five points.
It went by fast, I had fun with the random people, some of them were really nice to chat, play along and against, but weren't my type to be around with.
"There she is! Hey Nai!" Goldberg shouted as he, along with his friends and another man is behind him.
"Oh, hey Goldberg!"
"Coach, this is the girl I'm telling you about. She's got skill and a lotta guts"
"Coach?" I questioned.
There stood a brown haired man with bluish-green eyes and a jacket that has a duck embroidered in his upper left chest. He looked as if he was in his mid thirty's, I couldn't tell since he looked pretty young.
