4 : the stars

a week has passed by now. after school i've been going to the rink and practicing almost every day.

tracey was even excited for me. she told me she would listen to all the games on the radio with marie.

i was filled with excitement but i was nervous. i mean it made sense, i was pretty much being told that i'm a really good player!

right now i was on the phone with tracey. she was somewhat ranting about this boy she's been talking to.

"and we made eye contact and girl let me tell you, his baby brown eyes sparkled like i've never seen." she told me with attitude.

i started bursting into a fit of laughter. "ma'am this is no time to joke around." she said, which caused me to laugh even more.

soon she was laughing but we both finally calmed down.

"alright well we both need to get some beauty rest." i told her through the phone.

"very true. i will see you tomorrow bella!" she said through the phone and then she hung up.
i went up to my room and got ready for bed with hockey in mind.

i couldn't fall asleep though no matter what i did. i read, i rocked back and forth, i just tried closing my eyes and my mind would not stop. 

i soon got down from the bunk bed and i tip-toed down the stairs as quiet as i could.

i was able to slip past marie's room and then made my way to the backyard door.

i slowly opened the door which made a few creaks but it was quiet enough no one woke up.
i sat on the lawn chair in the middle of the yard and looked up at the stars.

i always admired space and stars and pretty much astronomy.

i sat out there for at least an hour until i almost fell asleep in the chair.

i quickly made my way up to my room and passed out as soon as my head hit the pillow.

i woke up to the smell of blueberry pancakes, also one of my favorite foods.

i got ready as quickly as i could so i could eat breakfast.

i ran down the stairs, almost falling on my face, and ran to the dining room and sat down in my chair.

as soon as i did, my food was placed in front of me. i ate them in the matter of minutes.

i heard the bus' horn outside. "thank you so much marie. i will see you after school!" i yelled as i ran out the door.

i hopped on the bus and walked towards the back to see tracey talking with the boy she has been telling me all about.

"well well, lovebirds this early?" i said as i sat down. i could see tracey's cheeks turning pink. i just laughed.

the boy she has been talking about i had met once and we talked rarely. his name was vance. he was nice and i was happy for her.

we all talked together on the ride to school, mostly we were just laughing.

as soon as we got to the building we all got out and proceeded to our classes.

tracey must of said something to vance about me going out of state for hockey because when lunch came around, he immediately was bombarding me with questions.

'how long have you been playing? who got you into the sport? are you really that good?' was a few that he asked. i just laughed.

"clam down there vance." i told him. he laughed, realizing how crazy he sounded.

"oh wow, new couple in town?" one of the popular boys came up to our table, a few of his friends following.

"screw off riley." i told him, not even looking at him. i've hated the kid ever since elementary school.

"oh c'mon now bella. i'm being nice. what are you gonna do? beat me up with your hockey stick?" he asked, now teasing me.

i looked up at him and i could feel my heart go faster and faster. my blood was boiling.

"if i have to, then i will." i told him with a smile. he looked at me like i was crazy and then walked off. i just laughed.

i turned back to vance and tracey. "wait how does he know about how i play hockey?" i asked them both. they looked at each other then me.

"sorry." they both said in unison. i just shook my head. "it's alright, don't worry." i told them. they both smiled at me.

as lunch went on i got more bored. i felt like a third wheel since all vance and tracey would do is flirt with each other.

i was just glad tomorrow was thursday so then i could leave on friday.

(happy halloween! please vote on the chapter!)
