Lasso | Dwayne Robertson

24.

The whistle blew and in came Coach asshat

"Okay everyone gather around!"

I skated towards the large group

"As you all know, I'm Coach Larson. This year, we are making more cuts so try not to make a fool of yourself"

"great" I mumbled to myself

"Alright! I want you guys to scrimmage! Split the group in half now!"

I skated over to the same side as Dean, ready to scrimmage

"No! We don't want her on our side!" Some rando yelled

"Well we don't want her either!" Someone on the other team yelled back

"And I don't wanna get kicked off the team for beating the shit out of you guys but I'm about to" Dean said angrily

They all immediately shut up making me laugh

"What's funny Portman?" Larson asked rudely

"Oh nothing sir" I smiled fakely

He glared at me before yelling "GET IN YOUR POSITIONS!! ON MY WHISTLE BEGIN"

I got into center, right across from Jack.

"Well well well" He chuckled lowly

I just simply rolled my eyes, getting my head in the game

As soon as the whistle blew I put the puck through his legs and dropped my shoulder down, hitting the very end of his, making him fall like Bombay taught me.

Skating quickly down the ice I passed to one of my teammates who was open

2 guys aggressively ran into me knocking me down, but only powering me more.

I shot up quickly and skated into the open "HEY IM OPEN" I yelled

He smirked and passed it to a guy who clearly was NOT open

He got intercepted and the puck was flying up the ice

"MAN I WAS OPEN!" I yelled angrily throwing my hands up

I heard an array of chuckles come from each of them

"It's fine. You're good. Go kick ass" I told myself

With that, I took a breath in and skated quickly to catch up with whoever had the puck

I checked him LEGALLY and got the puck behind the goal

The whistle blew "ILLEGAL CHECK ON GIRL PORTMAN"

"THAT WAS LEGAL WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!" I yelled

"WATCH YOUR TONE"

I rolled my eyes and skated to catch back up with everyone

My team scored but I didn't help at all

These tryouts are not going great

But be positive!

I got back to the center, the whistle blew and I once again, won the draw

I sped up the ice towards the goal

Two big guys were coming to me but I broke out the puck handling Dwayne had taught me.

Through my legs, around, juggling, you name it.

They were taken back, where I took the chance to go between them and shoot, scoring

"YEAH KAY!" Dean cheered

I smiled brightly skating off the ice and onto the bench.

Tryouts went on and I KILLED it
