"Guitar. I'll show it to you some time." Dang, what can't this boy do? "You better," I said, done fan-girling. When we picked Kimi up, she climbed into the back seat. Wearing a black hoodie, jeans, and a beanie, she looked adorable and warm. "Hi," is all she said before plugging in her earbuds and tuning us out. It made the ride a little awkward, but eventually we pulled up to this big building, covered by trees and surrounded by overgrown grass. It kinda looked like a giant abandoned warehouse. "What is this place?" I asked, confused. "It's the IceBox!" Riley exclaimed, gesturing to the building in adoration. "Yeah, and I know exactly what that is," I said sarcastically, which only made him laugh. "Oh no, you brought us here?" Kimi sighed, now joining us. I looked at her, wondering what she meant. She picked up on my confusion and very kindly spelled it out for me. "This is an old stadium that used to hold hockey games and stuff like that. Riley and his pals think it's fun to play illegal hockey games here." "What?! Illegal hockey games? What about them are illegal?!" I whisper-shouted, a subconscious reaction to finding out we might be breaking the law. "Relax. Nobody comes out here who would snitch. And it's only a little bit illegal," he said, shrugging his shoulders. "How?" I asked in a tone that said I was being serious. "Sometimes people can get hurt. Money is involved. But don't worry, we've never gotten hurt," he smiled, giving me an assuring side-hug. It didn't help me feel any better. "Relax, HP," Riley said, wrapping an arm around me. "You'll have fun." I doubt it. Inside the old stadium it was cold, like freakin' Antarctica. I was glad I wore leggings, an oversized sweater, and my black Timberland boots, but my hair was wet which made me even more cold. Like a true friend, Kimi offered me her beanie, and I practically stuffed my face into it for warmth. "Thanks." I was already starting to feel better. "Anytime, girl," Kimi said with a smile. "The guys are on their way now since I told them we were here, and they're bringing food. We can wait for them outside if you guys want," Riley offered, probably because my teeth were chattering. "Yes, pl-please!" I stuttered out, already running back outside. Almost a full hour later, I saw a familiar black jeep pull up onto the grass infested parking lot, followed by a silver Lincoln Navigator. Drew and Jayden got out the jeep and walked over to us. "Ladies," Jayden greeted politely with a smile. "Hey, Jayden," I said as Kimi smiled and waved. He walked to the other side of Riley as Drew walked past us without even acknowledging our existence. "Nice pick of cheerleaders," I heard him say to Riley. "Out of all people, you bring the two girls I can't stand." I laughed to myself at the irony. Choosing not to eavesdrop anymore, I turned my attention to the two strangers getting out of the other car, carrying a bunch of pizzas. Food! I skipped over to the two guys, a smile on my face. "Hey, boys. Whatcha' got there?" I asked, now walking at their pace back to where the boys were standing. "Pizza. And if you're the one who doesn't eat pepperoni, you can take that abomination off the top of my pile now," the dark one with pretty brown eyes said to me with a smile. "Don't mind if I do!" I grinned, grabbing my pizza. Pineapple never gets the recognition or appreciation it should. He laughed, which made his friend laugh with him. The friend was a little taller than the dark-skinned boy, and he had ginger hair with blue eyes and like a million freckles on his face. They were both attractive, although not as attractive as the boys, but they seemed really nice. "I see you've met Levi and Greg," Riley said when we got to them. "Careful Greg, she fancies redheads. Isn't that right, HP?" I felt a blush creeping onto my face at the reminder of how I declared myself "more of a Ron Weasley girl" that night Riley hung out at my house. Lucky me, Drew clearly noticed. Please note that sarcasm. "Shut up," I whispered, jabbing him in the side with the corner of my pizza box. "That's fine with me. I love hot brunettes," Greg joked, making me laugh. Moments after everyone finished eating, people started to fill the parking lot. Not wanting to lose our pick of the seats, we all went inside and sat down. "We play second today, so we'll get to sit with you guys for the first half of the night," Riley mentioned as we sat down. I nodded before turning my attention to Jayden. "How come Lauren isn't here?" I asked, surprised that his other half was missing. "She hates that I play these games. It makes her crazy with worry, so she doesn't come very much," he shrugged sadly. I understood why she wouldn't want to come, but it was obvious Jayden wanted her here to cheer him on. While we waited, I learned that Levi and Greg went to a different highschool, but met the guys at the local ice rink and had been playing together ever since. Kimi seemed to like Levi's company, and spent a lot of her time laughing and joking with him. All the seats were basically filled, everyone looking like highschoolers or college students. I guess real adults aren't that interested in illegal hockey games. Moments later, a man's voice filled the stadium. "Thank you all for your placing your bets on the first game of the evening: The Players vs The Baby-Daddies!" the man yelled, trying not to sound judgmental as he said the team names. The crowd broke out in laughter, especially the guys. I turned around to find them hysterical. Levi couldn't stop saying "baby-daddies" and I think I saw literally tears coming out of Riley's. I glanced further down the row and saw that even Drew has a small smile on his face. He should do that more often. It almost makes him look nice, instead of a cold-hearted gremlin. Unfortunately, I took too long of a glance and he looked up, catching me staring. I decided to own it, instead of looking away so that it seemed less like I was embarrassed. A second more of eye contact and then I turned my attention to my phone, acting natural, but I could still feel him looking at me. Thankfully, the announcer's voice bellowed through the speakers, taking everyone's attention. "Ladies and gentlemen! Let the battle on ice...BEGIN!"
