Colder than ice
The side of me he never knew
Once Jon and I got back from the trip I gushed about it to Rose. I felt like the best thing had ever happened to me. Then it happened. The one thing I had been avoiding. There it was. A huge envelope with my name on it. I opened up nervously and I read it and the room seemed to freeze when I read, "Congrats Amy Johnson. You have been invited to the USA Women's Hockey Olympic team training camp." I dropped the letter and I felt myself freeze. I should be supper excited, but I'm terrified. I never told Jon that I played centre... I had never told him I play hockey at all. "What's wrong?" Rose asked concerned. Time started to come back to normal, "I'm on the list for the USA Women's Hockey Olympic team for training camp..." I said sitting down. "Isn't that a good thing?" she asked sitting next to me. "I don't know. I never told Jon that I played..." I said putting my head in my hands. Then I looked at the clock, "Shit! I'm going to be late for class!" I yelled as I grabbed my bag and booked it down the stairs. Once I got in class I sat in the back and tried my best to pay attention then the bell rang and it seemed like class had just started. I texted Jon to see if we could meet up for lunch so I could get this burden off my shoulders. Before I left my Professor stop me, "Amy is everything okay?" she asked. "Yeah Mrs.Buckle. Just I got a letter from the USA Women's Olympic Hockey organization and they want me to play for them or at least try out." I said, Mrs.Buckle was the only professor who would really talk to you about things and she'd tell you her honest opinion. "Go for it." she simply said. At that moment my phone buzzed, a text from Jon saying "Yeah meet me at Mario's by your place." "Well that's Jon. I got to go Mrs. Buckle I'll see you tomorrow." I said as I left.
Once I got to Mario's I saw Jon and sat at the booth with him. "So what do you need to talk to me about?" he asked concerned. "I need to tell you something about me..." I said. Then I told him how I've been playing hockey since I was 5 and how the USA Women's Olympic Hockey team wanted me to go to their training camp. "So yeah.." I concluded. Jon sat there amazed and shocked at the same time. "I never knew you played and were that good.." he said. I just looked down and said, "I'm sorry from keeping this from you..." He looked at me and put his hand on my shoulder. "Babe this is wonderful. You get a chance to to be a star if you make the team." He said smiling at me. I smiled back, "This is why I love you. You're always supporting me." He leaned across the table and kissed me and I kissed back. At that moment I noticed there was pizza sauce on his shirt and laughed. "Umm tazer.." I said smiling. He looked at me then down and cursed and laughed. So this was it I was going to go to the USA Women's Olympic Hockey teams training camp and hope that I make the team, but at least I have a good boyfriend by my side.
