Luis plops next to me on the bench. "Hey."

"Hi . . ." I mumble quietly while looking at everyone else skate.

"You okay?" he asks.

"I'm bored." I groan.

He sighs. "I'm sorry. I wish I could help."

"You can." I nod.

He cocks an eyebrow. "How so?"

"Break your hand so you can suffer with me."

A deep laugh rumbles from his chest. "I'll pass this time."

I chuckle and look back out onto the ice. "I just wanna play hockey."

"I understand." he nods. "If we could switch places, I would gladly accept."

"Why?" I look back at him. "Don't you like hockey?"

"Of course I do." he nods. "It's just that we've been practicing a lot more because we have that tournament next month and we're basically missing a player."

"Hopefully I can play . . ." I whisper. "Do you think my hand will get better by then?"

"Well, I'm not your doctor . . . but maybe?"

I smile. "Good."

He chuckles and hesitates before saying his next words. "What were you and Charlie talking about?"

"Nothing in particular." I shrug. "He just came over here and asked if I was okay."

"And?"

"And what?" I shrug. "That was pretty much it."

"Hm." he hums. "Do you like him?"

My eyes widen slightly. "What? No, of course not. I barely even know the kid."

"I was just asking." he shrugs.

I gasp. "You're jealous, aren't you?"

He quickly shakes his head. "What? No, I'm not jealous. Why would you even say that?"

"Because you asked if I liked him."

"So?" he raises his eyebrow in confusion. "It was just a question."

"That's what boys ask when they like someone." I smile.

He stutters for words. "No, we don't?"

I nod. "Yes, you do!"

He sighs and shakes his head. "You're just trying to make me look like an idiot."

"Maybe I am," I smirk. "What about it?"

"I'll make you look like an idiot. You want that?" he leans his face closer to mine.

"I don't know, do I?" I smile nervously.

"Nah." he pulls away from me. "You wouldn't be able to handle it."

"I bet I could." I nod.

He looks at me and raises his eyebrows with a small smirk plastered on his face. "Are you asking for it?"

My smile fades a bit. "Asking for what?"

He chuckles and hops back onto the ice.

What was he talking about?

----

Connie taps my shoulder. "Hey? You okay?"

I snap out of my gaze and look up at her. "Oh, yeah. I'm just thinking . . ."

"About what?" she scoots closer to me.

"Something Luis said earlier." I shrug.

Her face brightens up. "What did he say?"

I sigh. "I asked him if he was jealous and he refused to tell me."

"Why are you thinking about it so much then?"

"Because after that, he said I was making him look like an idiot and I said, "Maybe I am. What about it?" Then a huge smirk plastered his face and he leaned in front of my face and whispered, "I'll make you look like an idiot." Then he hopped back onto the ice."

Connie's eyes widen. "Oh, girl. He wants to have sex with you."

"Connie!" I smack a hand over her mouth. "Shush!"

She shrugs. "I'm not lying." her voice muffled in my hand.

I slowly remove my hand from her mouth. "I don't think that's what it is. He's probably gonna blackmail me or something."

"Lia . . ." she sighs. "You know nothing about boys and it shows. Not every guy is out to get you."

I gasp. "Ouch."

"I'm serious. He clearly wants to do it with you."

"That's gross." I groan.

"Think about it. He tries to shoot his shot all the time and this time, it was just a bit more intense."

I shake my head. "No, that's not true. Stop making things up."

"I'm not. I'm telling you the truth."

I huff in annoyance. "That's not the truth."

"You can't deny it forever, Lia." she puts her helmet back on. "It's gonna happen one of these days."

Before I can say anything back, she skates back onto the ice.

Maybe she is right . . .
