Alice
A few weeks have passed since the party.
I've become best friends with Winnie, and we hang out at the ice hockey rink daily. I'm still in the fan club for The Fighting Devils, but it seems one
player, in particular, is set on ignoring me.
Nathan Douglas.
The night I spent with him made me realize I liked him. But Nathan, true to his word, has stayed clear of me. Whenever I walk past him on campus or
watch his hockey team play, he stares through me.
It's like I'm air to him.
"Why won't you date Andrew?" Winnie asks me while chewing on a fry. We are eating in the dining hall.
I sigh. "Because Andrew is a player?"
"You could still give him a go... Unless there is someone else that you like? Someone that I don't know about?"
She blinks at me with a sweet smile, and guilt gnaws at me. I haven't told Winnie that I'm crushing on Nathan. It's a secret I will take with me to the grave. It's not like we would ever become an item, anyway.
