Why We Met

New Recruits

                                                                                    Y/N's POV

 The next day, I woke up, sluggishly, "Oh, shit!" I yelled and the boys woke up and jumped off the floor. Adam spoke first, "What? What's wrong?!" I pointed towards my clock, "It's 8:45!" The boys looked at me and then each other, then, in unison, they also yelled, "OH SHIT!" We scrambled around and each got dressed in different rooms. We ran out of my room with all of our stuff. We each grabbed a granola bar and my mom drove us all to practice and we got into the rink with 5 minutes to get all of our gear on. We ran to the locker room and I sat down next to Connie, "Hey, Ducky, you ready to meet the new recruits?" Connie calls me ducky because, once, or maybe twice, at sleepovers at her house, I went outside in the middle of winter, went to the pond across from her house and started acting like a duck. She has videos, but we never tell anybody. I smile at her, "Yeah, nervous, though, I just hope there's another girl so we can finally get that trio!" We laugh and finish putting on our gear. 

 We all skated out onto the ice and coach looked at us, "Mr. Tibbles is getting the newbies, you guys ready?" We all nodded, even Charlie, which made me smile. Out of the corner of my eye, I spot Mr. Tibbles and about 5 kids skating onto the ice. Then, he caught my eye, he was about 5'9 from my angle, he had dark skin, dark hair, and beautiful caramel eyes he skated up with the rest of them looking at Bombay, he glanced at me and smiled before we both looked away. I noticed that there was a girl so I elbowed Connie and pointed to her, she nodded. Mr. Tibbles went through all of their introductions, "Ken Wu.." "Olympics, the figure skater?".. "Yup, nobody's been able to touch him.. Dwayne Robertson.. best puck handler.. showboat.. Dean Portman.. hormones.. enforcement.. Julie 'The Cat' Gaffney.. 3 state championships in a row.." "But we have a goalie, Goldberg." "Watch this."... "Well, we could use a backup." Julie seemed nice, and she was an incredible goalie, Connie and I were whispering back and forth plans to have a sleepover with her at Connie's house when Mr. Tibbles announced the last of the new recruits, it was him the one i felt all weird about when I looked at him, "Luis Mendoza.. Miami club.. real speedster, incredible skater.. 1.9 seconds blue line to blue line.. has a little problem stopping." He skated around the rink, doing tricks, speeding up, slowing down, turning in circles, looking adorable-oh, yeah he definitely was cute. Until Mr. Tibbles announced his "stopping problem," at this, what looked like an attempted "stop" turned out to cause Luis Mendoza, number 22, to crash onto the ice, landing on his adorable butt, the rest of the new recruits helped him to his feet.

  After that, we scrimmaged, Ducks vs. newbies. I admit it, I was admiring Luis the whole time, but I couldn't help it, his movements were so swift and precise, and his facial expressions were gorgeous.

 All of us, even the new recruits, went to locker room, all of us now being aware that, tomorrow, we'd have to be at the St. Paul airport by 6:30 am. I sat down and began to unlace my skates,I looked over at Adam who was sitting on side of me, and then at Connie who was sitting on the other, "Pukey," he whispered to me, "go talk to him." I look at Connie, she nods, "Wait, what are y'all talking about?" I whispered back to them. Connie goes next, "Luis. We saw you two making bug eyes at each other." Now Adam nods. "What the hell does that mean?" Adam and Connie roll their eyes and I sigh, "Fine. I'll go talk to him." This is the fit you're wearing under your gear btw👇🏼
