An annoyed huff escaped my mouth as I rested my chin on my hand. Sitting on the bench sucked. I wanted to play hockey, not sit around. Someone plopped next to me but I was too annoyed to look at them.
"You okay?" Charlie's voice spoke to me.
I was surprised that it was Charlie. We don't talk much. I looked at him and sighed. "No, I hate sitting here. I wanna be out there, playing hockey."
"I get that." He nodded. "It sucks."
"Why are you over here?" I asked. "Shouldn't you be practicing?"
He shrugged. "I'm just taking a break and I saw how lonely you looked."
I scoffed. "I'm not lonely, just annoyed."
He sighed and took a sip of water. "It's not the worst thing in the world, you know?"
I rolled my eyes. "Of course, but that doesn't make it any less annoying."
"Sorry." He sighed. "I'm annoying you, aren't I?"
I looked at him sarcastically. "No, not at all."
"Well-" He started but Bombay cut him off.
"Charlie! Let's go!"
He groaned. "Gotta go. Talk to you later, okay?"
"Okay..." I mumbled.
He hopped back onto the ice and I saw Luis looking at me. I couldn't tell what his expression was because of his helmet, but...he looked hurt. I have no idea why though.
He started talking to Charlie but I didn't know what they were talking about. Eventually, Charlie just skated away and Luis looked pissed. He's so dramatic and for what?
I was getting tired of this. I stood up and walked down to the locker room. As I plopped down on the bench, I heard a familiar voice coming from deeper into the shower rooms. An eyebrow of mine raised in confusion as I listened closer.
"Get off of me!" Connie begged.
My eyes widened. I quickly ran to the showers and saw Connie trying to get someone off of her. Noah. When will he fucking learn?
"Get off of her you bitch!" I shouted while slapping the back of his head.
"Hey!" He shouted angrily. "We're kinda busy here!"
"No!" Connie cried. "Help me!"
I grabbed the back of his head and threw him to the ground. "When the fuck will you learn to leave girls alone?!"
He groaned. "Leave me alone."
"No!" I held my foot on his chest. "Tell me! Answer me you bitch!"
He gasped. "Get off of me you freak!"
"No! I'm staying right here so you can learn what it feels like to be a damn girl!" I held him down harder.
"Don't make me break your other hand, brat!"
"Do it! See if I care!"
He tried to get up but I wouldn't allow it. "Don't make me fuck you up, asshole!" He growled.
I grunted and smashed my foot on his face. Blood started pouring out of his nose as he yelled in pain. "Bitch!"
I hovered over him. "If I ever see you messing with someone again without their consent, I'll murder you, got it?"
"You'll be in jail." He tried to seem smart.
"Got it?!" I shouted.
"Okay, okay, okay!" His eyes widened. "I-I got it!"
"I hope you rot in hell, bitch." I kicked his side.
He coughed for air and I quickly grabbed Connie's hand. She was breathing heavily in fear, but I quickly got her out of there.
"Did he do anything more to you?" I asked while we exited the locker room.
"No..." She shook her head lightly.
"Good." I nodded. "He's such an asshole."
She nodded and kept looking back at the locker room. I wrapped my arm around her shoulders. "It'll be okay. I won't let him mess with you."
"But..." She sighed.
"No, no, no, it's okay. Let's go." I started walking her back to the rink.
She swallowed nervously and shook her head. "I-I don't wanna be around them."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"The boys on our team..." She mumbled.
"What?..." I murmured. "They aren't like, Noah. You know that, right?"
Her eyes were filled with panic. She shook her head. "I'm going home."
She ripped out of my grip and started walking towards the exit. "Connie, wait!" I sighed.
I caught up with her and grabbed her hand. "Connie, come on."
She huffed. "Lia..."
"Please, Connie. You know our teammates are nice." I pulled her a bit closer to me. "When have they ever done anything bad to you?"
She hummed. "I guess they haven't."
"Exactly." I smiled. "You can trust them, I promise. Especially, Luis."
A smirk plastered on her face. "He's especially nice to you."
"What?" I scoffed. "No, h-he's nice to everyone..."
"Yeah, but especially to you." She poked my chest.
"Because we're friends." I shrugged.
"Yeah, but he wants to be more than friends." She nodded.
I chuckled nervously. "He would never wanna date me."
"You sure?" She raised one eyebrow.
I nodded. "Yeah."
"Fine. Tell me why he's around you all the time?"
"Because we hang out a lot." I shrugged.
"Mhm." She hummed. "And why does he smile whenever he looks at you?"
"He does?" I asked.
She nodded. "Yeah, whenever you have your back turned, he admires you."
"Stop making stuff up, Connie." I laughed. "He doesn't do that."
"Believe me!" She begged. "I promise he likes you!"
"No, he looked mad at me today." I pouted.
"Why?"
"Well, Charlie started talking to me and Luis looked mad about it or something."
She gasped. "He's jealous!"
"What?..."
"He's jealous that other boys are talking to you!"
"I don't think-"
She cut me off. "Listen to me, Lia. I promise he likes you, and if you don't date him quick, someone else is gonna snatch him up."
"But I don't wanna force him to date me..."
"It won't be forced." She shook her head. "Because he feels the same, I bet my life on it."
I hesitated. "You think so?"
"I know so." She nodded.
I looked over at the rink and watched Luis skate. Maybe I should shoot my shot...
