Will
1::speed
I take another shot at the net outside of my house, placed on the end of my driveway. The ball rolls back and lands on my stick, and I shoot again.
I've probably been out here for hours. It's June, and I can't tell you enough how much I miss playing. My team's season went longer than everyone else's; we made it into the playoffs and won. It was so hectic and I remember thinking how I just need time off, but now that we've got it I just want it back to the way it was.
On top of that, I miss Will a lot. He's been my boyfriend for almost a year now, but its not like we've gotten to see each other anyways. We were both on vacation in Aruba last July and considering how tiny that island is, I'm not surprised we crossed paths. But since we did, we've been so connected and in love.
I take more shots, trying to get my mind off will. I take my long brown hair out of my braid and I pause for a second, just breathing in the warm air, when suddenly I hear a voice.
"Blake! Come play with me!"
I spin around to see Danny, the little seven year old boy who lives down the street. He loves it when i play with him amd with an adorable innocent face like that, you cant say no.
i take my stick and the ball and I take a shot on Danny. He might be seven, but he's going to go far. He has such fast reflexes and perfect timing. Plus hes fearless.
I shoot again and again. Not my hardest but not bad either, and Danny is keeping up pretty well. I flip the puck up on my stick and spin it into the net past Danny.
"Wow!" He exclaims, his smile huge. "Howd you do that??"
I laugh as i start to teach him. Eventually i guide his arms through the movements and he jumps up in joy.
"Mom did you see that?" He yells.
i look down the street to his house and his mom is on the porch, watching. I didn't notice her .
"that was cool, but you need to come in for dinner." She says.
Danny waves goodbye to me and runs inside.
"blake, could you come here for a minute?" She asks.
i walk over to the porch and she smiles.
"Thanks for always playing with danny. He loves you,"
"haha no problem. Hes awesome."
we say goodbye and i can barley get off their porch whem my phone starts to ring.
WILL.
"Hey Will!" I say happily.
"you know how we said it sucks that were always so far apart?" He says.
"yah why?"
"Thats not going to be the case anymore."
"what? How?"
"I GOT DRAFTED BY TORONTO. IM GOING TO BE WITH YOU AGAIN"
