A Favor for a Friend

Chapter 4

I walked across the street through the crowds of people and the performers who stood outside after every game asking for money. Lets not even discuss the people to ask you if you will sell them tickets. They drive me crazy. I finally found the bar Sid told me to go to and walked in. I took a seat and waited for them to get there.

It was about twenty minutes later when they finally walked in.

"There she is." Sidney smiled and walked over. The rest of the team followed and filled in the seats around me.

"So this is the girl who-?" Sutter started saying before Sid cut him off.

"SHH! I didn't tell her yet!" he said quickly.

"Oh, ok. Sorry." he laughed.

"You didn't tell me what yet?" I said giving him a glare.

"Nothing, I will tell you later." he said trying to brush it off.

"Sidney Crosby, I swear on my life if you don't spit it out...." I trailed off.

"Calm down. I will tell you." he said, "Well Olli has been having some trouble adjusting to Pittsburg and the team and everything and I was just thinking that maybe I could get you to move down here and you know, kind of get through it together."

"You're trying to set me up?" I said wide-eyed in disbelief.

"Not exactly."

"Then what is it?" I rolled my eyes.

"Setting you up." Neal chimed in, getting a glare from Sid.

"Oh, come on, I think you will really like him. You guys have a lot in common." he said trying to convince me.

"I could strangle you right now." I growled.

"Just talk to him. First thing in common, you are going to have to baby sit us because we are all getting drunk tonight." he said as he took a sip of the drink sitting next to him.

"Now I remember why I thought you were such a pain."

"There he is, Olli! Come over here! I want to introduce you to someone." Sid waved the boy over. I was probably blushing like crazy in embarrassment.

The blonde walked over a little confused. "This is my friend Aliyah. She is down here for the week." Sid said.

"Nice to meet you Aliyah." he said still a bit confused.

"You too." I said trying not to sound awkward.

"I figured I better introduce you because considering you're the same age you can't legally drink and you will probably have to keep us out of trouble."

Olli sighed a little. I guess this wasn't all that new to him. "Well looks like we are going to have a fun night." he said and sat down next to me.

Sid and James exchanged glances and smiled. "Sure are. Well I am going tog et another drink, you too can get to know each other a little." he said giving me a wink quickly before walking away.

Screw you Sidney. I should have known better. He had to be up to something to beg me as much as he did to come down to Pittsburg.

"Sooo....." Olli said obviously feeling just as awkward in the situation as I did. "You know Sidney?" said just trying to make conversation.

"Yeah, I've known him practically my whole life. He and my brother are good friends." I tried to make it a little less tense. It was weird for me to be put in that situation. I never was the one trying to make things more comfortable. I normally made it worse.

"That's pretty cool. I couldn't imagine what he was like as a kid."

"Like he is now. He hasn't changed." I shook my head. He couldn't help but laugh a little.

"I don't mean to sound like a creepy or anything, I just watch the games and hear this kind of stuff all the time but what is it like in Finland?" I said so I didn't have to keep talking for one but also because I was truly interested.

The next hour we talked about where we came from and how different Pittsburg was compared to it. He was shy no doubt, but it seemed like he was easy to talk to. Still I had doubts about what Sid had planned for us but maybe it wouldn't be that bad.
