From Hating You To Loving You

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

GARRETT

Today is the day, and I've never been more nervous in my life, I had to do reservations and preparations just for this day-- Sophia's birthday and I just hope she loves it because God knows I haven't done this for anyone else, not even Mich and that's saying a lot

I have a lot planned, I'm taking her to this nice restaurant with the most beautiful view and then to the state carnival and we'll go where there, I want this day to be perfect for her

"Earth to Romeo!" Michael shouts, as he enters my room as he throws a pillow to my face

"Shut the fuck up dumbass, you're going to wake her up and then I'm going to beat you're mother fucking ass" I reply back, as I send Sophia a happy birthday message and look at the clock on my side table and sigh to see its 4:30am and remember we have to be at practice by 5am

I sit up from bed, and look at Michael to see him still standing by my door looking at me, I stare at him with a confused look on my face, "Are you going to stand there, and look at me while I change?" I tell him, as I start packing my bag for practice and for our game later on in the day

"Well if you insist, but it's not my fault that I have a best friend who has an eight pack and gets all the fucking girls, but other than that I'll wait in the kitchen...got to make sure all your food isn't expiring" Michael says, to me as he gives me a wink before exiting my room

Shaking my head, I finish getting ready and getting anything, I need for the game before leaving my room with an envelope in my hand before placing it on the table with a note for Sophia to read when she wakes up

"Alright, lover boy lets go before coach takes our heads off and places them in his trophy wall" Michael says, as he tosses me a water bottle and puts some in his bag before he shoves some snacks in there as well

I let out a small chuckle before opening the door, to let Michael pass and locking the door as we make our way to the locker room

"Well, let's get this day started" I mumble as we get in the elevator, as Michael lists all the things he got Avery and Sophia, then how he's coming up with a plan to have coach Z like him

After a Michael's ramble, we finally arrive at the locker room and surprise, surprise, we see coach waiting outside for us "Boys! Glad you were able to make it...now get you're ass on the rink!" He yells

"Grumpy in the morning, aren't we coach Z, I see you didn't get you're good morning kiss" Michael says, as he runs past coach to not get hit with his clip board, making me laugh and salute coach as I pass

"Morning coach" I say, making him nod at me before hitting the back of my head with his clip board

I hope the this day goes by quick, I can't wait to see how the night goes

SOPHIA
I wake up, to the bright ass fucking sun blinding my eyes. I groan, and slid off the bed and lay on the floor for a few seconds before I stand up and check my phone, to see that Garrett sent me a message at four in the morning

He was the first person to wish me a happy birthday-

I open his message,

"Happy birthday, Angel! Finally 21, wow you're getting old sweetheart but, I left an envelope on the table for you...also I have a surprise for you after my game so wear something fancy or nice whatever you want ;)"

This has to be the most creative, thoughtful thing someone has ever done for me. I mean, for my 19th birthday all I got was a slap on the face, some bruises, and then all my family got me was a cookie and said they didn't have enough time, to go shopping
