“Peyton, SHOOT, SHOOT!” My dad kept screaming at me, it was officially summer and I thought I could take a break from hockey but of course not. School just ended and all I wanted to do was call Aubrey go to the beach, tan, and jam out to One Direction. You would think that since hockey is a winter sport you wouldn’t play in the summer, but no. Now roller blades and my driveway were my best friend, I really love street hockey but when its 90 degrees out it’s not that fun.

“Your game is off! You missed a perfectly good shot!” he kept screaming at me. “Dad, I am exhausted! I can’t take this pressure anymore!” he just looked at me like I had a dozen heads. “If you want a scholarship to Yale you’re going to have to play better because right now you suck.” Ouch that hurt, I love my dad but honestly I just love the sport I wasn’t going to go to the Olympics and when I made one little mistake he always freaks out. It’s the only thing he talks to be about, we cannot even have a normal conversation without the word “hockey” involved.

I was going to prove him wrong I don’t suck. My adrenaline was pumping and I was about to freak out. “Get a stick!” I yelled at him. “What?” was all he managed to say. “I’m going to prove you wrong, get a stick, and let’s play!” And it was like magic, I stole the puck from him and I scored. My shot was PERFECT. “Wow Peyton that was just amazing, you actually have been practicing” after he said that a wide smile appeared on my face. “Thanks dad that means a lot” I pulled my skates off and ran in my house. I called Aubrey and told her to come over, my pool was open and all I wanted to do was tan. This was going to be a good summer.

Five minutes later a black range rover was pulling in my driveway. All I could hear was Aubrey screaming “YOU DON’T KNOW YOUR BEAUTIFUL” I ran to her and that was it, we danced and sang to the song right in the middle of my driveway without a care in the world.

After the song stopped we had to catch our breath. “Hey Pey lets go chill on the trampoline I am so exhausted after that!” I just looked at her and laughed, next thing I knew we were flipping and doing handstands on the trampoline, it was something we always did when we were younger. I was still in shock I was going to be a senior in high school. I had no idea how Aubrey and I were going to separate when we went to college we were literally inseparable.

Aubrey opened her new coach purse and pulled out a beer. All I kept thinking about were my parents but hey its summer and who really cares. “GIVE ME SOME!” I screamed to her! She gave me half but it’s not like I could get drunk of that. All of a sudden I heard a loud noise. A huge bus parked in front of my house. “Umm Bree what’s going on?” I asked her. “ I have no idea, it looks like they have a flat tire or something..” This was no small bus; I never saw one so big. “Should we ask them if they need to use a phone or something?” I asked her. “ Yes let’s go!” Before I knew it she was knocking on the bus!


Don’t worry One Direction will be entering the next chapter I just wanted to introduce Peyton and how hockey is important to her(: comment? Tell me what you think…
