Great, One More Egotistical Jerk I Have To Dodge!
Too Bad She Already Hates My Guts.
*Kane’s POV*
“Did that just happen?” Seabs asked no one in particular with an amused smirk on his face.
“Yea, I think so.” I said still in shock.
“They just…” Duncan said trailing off.
“Yea… C’mon let’s go meet the team guys. Let’s get this show on the road.” Jon said going into Captain Serious mode as always.
We made our way into the first section of the locker room where all the coaches of the team were gathered. They greeted us all cheerfully as we introduced ourselves to them and then they led us back to where the team was getting ready. The assistant coach stuck her head thru the door. “Everyone decent?” she shouted.
“Yea!” “Yep!” “We’re good!” Could all be heard as a response to the coach’s question.
We barely made it thru the door when a few things happened simultaneously… 1) the girls in view recognized who we were… 2) everyone got really quiet except for the singing coming from the bathroom/shower area and 3) the singing was starting to get closer.
*Savvy’s POV*
I stood in front of the mirror placing my hair in the signature fishtail braid I’ve become accustomed to on the ice while belting out one of my favorite workout songs.
“…I got so much money I could start a bank. So much paper right in front of me it’s hard to think. Buy so many bottles it’s gon’ be hard to drink. But I’m still pourin’ up and my family here and they rolling up so uh!”
I finished my braid at this point and started to walk/dance back into the locker room still singing, while also answering a text from one of my classmates asking a question about one of the assignments we had. He knew I would have my phone on me up until go time, and that I always carried my binder with me. So, with my face directed downwards towards my phone, I continued to my locker and sat down on the bench facing it, trying to grab my notes out of my bag to help my friend out, and unknowingly putting a show on for our “guests.”
“The bigger the bill, the harder you ball. Well I’m throwing mine, cause my money long. The quicker you here, the faster you go. That’s why where I come from the only thing we know is… The bigger the bill, the harder you ball. Well I’m throwing mine, cause my money long. The quicker you here, the faster you go. That’s why where I come from the only thing we know is…”
I was still texting my answer to my friend as I stood back up to start pulling on my pads and gear since I was still in my sports bra and shorts. I wasn’t really paying attention to what the other girls were doing. We all had our own routines right before a game, and they knew I liked to be in my own little world.
“Work hard, play hard. Work hard, play hard. Work hard, play hard. Work hard, play hard. Work… work… work… work… work… work… work… work.”
By this time, I had already shoved my phone in my sports bra and had begun to get my uniform on, which was always interesting since I couldn’t help but dance to the beat of the song. I had become an expert at getting dressed while keeping my headphones in, a skill I took massive pride in.
“Hop your pretty ass up in this fucking car. Bitch I’m out this world, girl you know I’m a star. Used to buying rounds, but now we buy the bar. Last year they had to ask, now they know who we are. Boss shit, walk in the building, I own shit.”
I finished getting ready with the exception of my jersey and upper body pads and of course skates. I started to turn around to sit down. “You can tell by who- Ahh! Holy fuck!” I shouted, bringing my hands up to my heart that seemed to be trying to beat its way out of my chest as I saw that not only were there people watching me, but also who they were. My eyes snapped over to where my coaches stood to the side, trying not to laugh and I quickly pulled my earbuds out to let them drop and hang out of my sports bra.
“Um, well this is awkward… Hi!” I said giving them a small wave and a chuckle trying to laugh off the situation.
“I never would’ve pegged you as a Wiz Khalifa kind of girl.” Kane said with a smirk on his face.
Unbelievable… he was actually trying to flirt with me. Unfortunately, I wasn’t an idiot. I knew all about his reputation with women, and I wasn’t about to become another notch in his belt.
“Sadly, I don’t think that’s the first thing you’ve ‘pegged’ all day.” I said sarcastically, scratching the back of my head while looking anywhere but at him as his mouth dropped and everyone in the room tried not to laugh. Emmy was about to lose it beside me and had to turn away and face the lockers. Toews quickly came to the rescue.
“You know, what you were doing before… I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone try to multitask that much in my life… I’m curious to see if you use that skill on the ice.” Jon said turning the conversation back to hockey… something safe… Captain Serious to the rescue…Thank God!
“Clearly you’ve never seen me play before, or you wouldn’t be asking me that question.” I say with a smirk causing him to chuckle. Our coach was quick to jump into the conversation at that point.
“This is Savannah James. She’s our freshman center and she’s also leading the team in points and goals. The girl on her right is Emiline Collins, our freshman starting goalie. She has the highest save average in the league.”
I turned to my best friend after that comment.
“Dream Team! Hell yea!!!” I exclaimed giving her a high five making us both laugh, along with everyone else in the room.
Coach went around the room making introductions and I started to get my skates on and lace them up, while Emmy did the same next to me.
“Well we look forward to watching you guys play tonight. Good Luck girls!” Jon said as the coaches ushered the players out so we could all finish getting ready.
*Kane’s POV*
I couldn’t believe it. I think I seriously just found the girl version of myself. She seems damn near perfect. Gorgeous, athletic, funny, and her confidence was just bordering on cocky! That laugh tho, pretty much did me in. Too bad she already hates my guts. Looks like I’m gonna have to change her mind. As soon as the doors close behind us and we’re in the hallway, I make a very clear statement.
“She’s mine.” I say as we start walking towards our seats. I hear a few of the guys start to chuckle and Jon sigh beside me.
“I really hope you know what you’re doing Kaner.” Jon said shaking his head. “I have a feeling she’ll kick your ass if you screw her over.”
“Oh, I’m going to screw her alright. That’s for damn sure!” I said causing everyone to let out a laugh.
