Lasso | Dwayne Robertson

17.

I grabbed my shit and RAN.

I sprinted out the door colliding with someone.

"Cmon Kay let's go!" Luis yelled helping me to my feet, while the rest ran behind us

We sprinted as fast as we could. Down 2 flights of stairs and across the street. Down a few halls, then into the locker room.

Luis opened the door and we all bursted in.

"Guys what are you doing?!!! You have to be on the ice in 7 minutes!!" He said rushing us to our lockers to get ready

As I was getting ready Banksey walked in

"Hey Banksey what's got you smiling?" I asked

"Look!" He smiled then turned to coach "I woke up" He said turning his bad hand "And the pain was gone"

We all cheered and clapped but then heard coach said to him "Adam, I'm sorry. We already have a full roster"

His smiled faded. I turned to see Russ taking off his jersey.

Charlie stopped him "He can have my spot. It's what I can do for the team."

Even though Charlie and I don't get along the greatest, he's a good person.

Coach patted his shoulder "Charlie, I need you on the bench. Coaching right there with me"

"WHOOO YEAH!" Averman hollered

I smiled and cheered along with everyone.

"Alright team! Let's go!!" Coach yelled walking out, with us behind him

We waited for the glass doors to open.

"Well this is a pretty badass entrance ain't it?" I asked leaning over to Dwayne

"Damn right it is!" He smiled

We skated out on the ice, cameras flashing everywhere.

Everyone was cheering and we were skating in circles taking it in.

I was on cloud 9

"Now the two teams gather at their respective benches. In their last meeting, Iceland crushed team USA 12-1" The announcer said

I smiled "Not this time motherfu-" but was cut off my Dwayne hand over my mouth

I licked his hand and he pulled it back with a disgusted face making me laugh.

Coach gathered us around "Heads high! Stand tall! Fly straight! USA!"

"ALL THE WAY!" We chanted

I skated out to the center, Averman to my right and Guy to my left.

Gunnar was across from me and smiled faintly.

"May the best win" I smirked

"May they" He smirked back

In slow motion, the puck dropped. I went for it but got knocked on my ass.

Quickly getting up to chase Gunnar, I rammed into him.
