Chapter One:
"Looks like we have some new neighbors." Nora said looking out the window. "Hockey sticks, goal nets, looks like another player for your guys high school team." She said looking over to Derek and Sam who were sitting on the couch watching TV.
"I wonder if he's going to try out." Sam said, "We should go and see."
"Yeah. And see how good he is." Derek said as the two got up and left the house. Casey came down stairs as the door closed.
"Where's Derek and Sam going?" She asked looking over to the tv. "I'm taking over now." She said grabbing the remote and sitting on the couch changing it away from a Maple Leafs game.
"They went accross the street. New neighbors that play hockey."
"That's just what we need, another hockey player around." She sighed rolling her eyes. Nora left the room and into the kitchen.
Derek and Sam walked across the street and over to the moving truck. They looked around to see a girl with a basketball, dribbling it and doing tricks before shooting it into the hoop that was attached to the top of the garage. The ball bounced past her and Sam reached down and grabbed it. She walked over and smiled, pushing the small strands of her light brown hair out of her face. "Thanks." She said as Sam passed the ball back to her. "Are you two neighbors here?" She asked them.
"Yeah, I'm Derek. I live accross the street." Derek said, introducing himself.
"And I'm Sam." Sam said shaking her hand. Derek then noticed the girls Edmonton Oilers hoodie that she was wearing.
"From Alberta?" Derek asked her.
"Yep. Oilers are bombin'." She said grinning. "Maple Leaf fans?" She asked them.
"Yeah. What do you expect?" Derek asked her.
"I bet the oilers could beat them." She said challengingly.
"So, where's your brother at?" Sam asked, changing the topic.
"I don't have one." She said, "If you are referring to all the hockey equipment, it's mine."
"Oh, so you watch hockey, and play hockey?" Derek asked smirking.
"What else do you expect? I use to go to the Oilers practices, and they'd give me tips, then I'd go back to my team, and we'd win." She said raising her eye brows.
"Are you challenging me?" Derek asked her.
"Depends. Do you like challenges?" She quirked. "Kelsy Nyk." She said putting out her hand.
"Derek Venturi." He said as they shook hands.
"Kelsy! We need you inside." Her father called.
"Gotta go. But don't worry. Next time, we'll have a little game, and then we'll see who is better." She said winking before turning and leaving with her basketball.
Sam and Derek turned and walked back over to Derek's house. "Looks like she doesn't have a brother." Sam said as they entered. "Do we even let girls on our team?"
"Sam. She's not going to be on the schools' team." Derek said as he closed the door. "That's just not going to happen. I'll make sure of it." He looked over and spotted Casey on the couch. "Off couch. now." He said grabbing the remote from her as he changed it to the Maple Leaf's game.
"Derek!" Casey said standing up.
"Casey!" Derek said mocking her as she left.
The next day, Derek went to his home room and sat down in his seat. When the bell rang, a girl walked in with long, waist length light brown hair in a tie at her neck, and bright green eyes. She was wearing a pair of black skinny jeans and a white tank top with a black zip-up hoodie over it, unzipped. On the back of the hoodie, under the hood, was an Oilers logo, and on the front it said Edmonton on it across the top and Oilers on the bottom. She showed the teacher her paper and the teacher nodded, pointing to the open seat next to Derek for her to sit in.
"Class, this is Kelsy. She's new from Edmonton." The teacher said before Kelsy went to sit.
She sat down next to Derek, "Looks like you just can't get enough of me." Derek said cockily.
"Who ever said I had enough?" She said sitting back in her chair as she pulled out her binder and opened it to a new page. She pulled out a pencil and started to draw quickly, and percise. She continued to draw for the fifteen minutes it took for homeroom to be over with. When the bell rang, Derek got a quick look at the picture she was drawing, it was one of a palace in a huge field, and had great walls around it.
For the next three periods, Derek had entered late, and each time, Kelsy was in his class. And every time, she was placed next to him. "Sick of me yet?" He asked her as they sat in history.
"Never." She said smiling at him before going back to take notes.
It was soon lunch, and Derek met up with Sam. "She's been in every class so far, Sam." Derek said as they sat down at the table. "If she ends up in anymore of my classes, I don't think I can take it!" He complained.
"Why?" Sam asked him.
"She plays hockey, but she's an Edmonton fan, she's beautiful, but she's now a rival for hockey. She's my neighbor, and I have to see her most of the day, every day!" Derek said taking a bite of his sandwich.
"Sounds like your lucky." Sam said pulling out his sandwich and biting into that. "She is pretty hot."
"Thanks for the compliment." Sam's head shot up as Derek choked on his sandwich. "Mind if I sit with you guys. You're honestly the only two people I actually know the name of."
"Why aren't we special..." Derek said putting his elbow on the table and putting his head in his hand, he had his face looking away.
"I don't know where my next class is. Can you tell me how to get there?" She said handing her class list to Sam, who offered to take a look at it.
"Oh, you have it with Derek and I." He said, "You can just walk with us." Derek glared at Sam as he handed her list back with him. "You also have fifth we the two of us, and you have sixth with me."
"Awesome! At least I'll know at least one person in one of my classes all the time." She said smiling.
"Casey, isn't that the new girl sitting with Derek and Sam?" Emily asked Casey, pointing over to Kelsy.
"Yeah... maybe we should warn her of Derek..." Casey said standing up.
"Yeah... let me know how it goes.." Emily said staying seated.
"Em..." Casey said.
"Casey, you know what to say, so I'll just stay here and watch our stuff."
"All right." Casey said walking over to Derek, Sam and Kelsy. She stuck her hand out towards Kelsy, "Hi, I'm Casey."
"Kelsy Nyk." Kelsy said shaking her hand.
"Hey, look! It's Casey! Casey was the last new kid. She can help you out." Derek said standing up. "Have fun." He said pushing Casey into the chair and walking away with Sam.
"Casey has the class with us too. See you next period." Sam called as the two boys left.
"You live across the street from me, so hopefully we'll be able to get along." Casey said smiling. "Do you want to come and sit with my friend Emily and me?"
"Uh sure." Kelsy said as she finally saw Derek and Sam leave the cafeteria. "But I thought Derek lived across the street from me..."
"Yeah, we're step siblings." Casey explained. "Emily, this is Kelsy. Kelsy, this is Emily." she said introducing her to Emily.
"Nice to meet you." The two girls said to each other.
"So, what were you doing sitting with Derek?" Casey asked her.
"Derek and Sam were the only two guys I knew since I moved yesterday. We have a lot in common other than the fact that they like the Maple Leafs, and I love the Oilers." Kelsy explained. "And Derek and I are going to play some hockey and I'm going to prove to him that I'm better."
"So all the hockey equiptment belongs to you?" Emily asked her.
"Yeah. I own a lot of Hockey, basketball, and soccer stuff. They're my three main sports, other than baseball, and cross-country."
"You're sure the athletic one." Casey said. "What classes are you taking?"
Kelsy handed her the class list. "first period is algebra 3-4, second is chemistry, third is government, fourth is lunch, fifth is gym, and sixth is art 3-4." Casey read to Emily.
"That's cool. We all have fourth and fifth period together." Emily pipped.
"How many classes do you have with Derek?" Casey asked her.
"Homeroom through fifth." Kelsy said, "And I have fourth through sixth with Sam."
"Aren't you tired of Derek yet?" Casey asked her.
"No, he's pretty cool. Just a bit.... strange." She said, trying to find a word for him.
"You should be wary of Derek. He's not a good person." Casey said, "And don't listen to what anyone tells you about him, because they don't know how arrogant, selfish, and lazy he really is."
"Okay, I won't listen to anyone that tells me anything about him. So I guess that includes you too, Casey." Kelsy said smirking as she grabbed her bag. "I best be off to class. See ya." And with that, Kelsy left the cafeteria.
"Casey?" Emily asked her shocked friend.
The door to Paul's office opened and Casey took a seat in the chair. "Paul, I have a problem."
"That's what I'm typically here for." He said crossing his fingers together. "So, tell me about this problem, Casey."
"There's this new girl here at school, and I think she likes Derek." Casey said quickly, "And I tried warning her about how Derek is, but she just refuses to listen! What should I do, Paul?"
"Do you want me to tell you what I think you should do, or what you want me to tell you to do?" He asked her.
"Both?" She asked meekly.
"I think you should just let it go. If she likes Derek, there's nothing you can do to stop it. And if Derek likes her back, then let things go." Paul advised Casey who sighed. "But what you want me to say is how to interfere. And if you do that, Casey, then it will go just as opposite as to what you planned."
"All right..." Casey said, "I think I know what I'm going to do."
"Casey...?" Paul asked a bit wary.
"Don't worry Paul. I have got everything covered." Casey smiled as she left the office.
"So is the art teacher pretty cool?" Kelsy asked Sam as they left their fifth period and over to their lockers to grab their art bag.
"Yeah. He's really awesome. He'll tell jokes to the class and most of the time you don't even have to do work." Sam told her as they walked down the hall towards the class. When they reached the class, they walked in and Kelsy showed the paper to the teacher who signed it and told her to sit wherever she wanted. She sat with Sam at one of the back tables. "So how long have you been drawing?"
"Just a couple of years." Kelsy said, "I don't think I'm that good. I draw scenery and sports. See?" She showed him some of her arts.
"Wow, those must have taken hours." He said noticing all the details.
"Actually only like twenty minutes." She said, "I have a really hard time taking my time when I draw."
"They're still really good."
"Thanks." She said smiling.
"So, what are you doing this Friday?" Sam asked her.
"Are you asking me out?" She asked him with a small laugh.
"Depends, if I did, would you say yes?" He asked her.
"I guess I would have too." She said smiling as she looked over to her art.
"Do you want to go out?" He asked her.
She laughed before answering, "I'd love too."
The bell rang minutes later and the two left down the hall towards the ice ring that the school had for the hockey team. Kelsy sat on the bleachers as Sam went into the changing room and came out with the team for the practice.
Derek skated over to Sam, "Sam, what is she doing here?" He asked his best friend.
"Dude, she plays hockey. I figured she'd like to see the team." Sam said, "And also... she's kind of my girlfriend now."
"What?!" Derek said looking at Sam in shock. "Sam...my dear friend... you can't be serious..."
"Well Derek, I am." He said as one of the other teammates called Sam over. Derek just stood there in shock.
"Are you the new girl from Alberta?" The coach asked Kelsy who was sitting on the bleachers alone.
"Yeah. I thought I'd come and see how your team plays. I was on my team back home, so I'm just wanting to see the level difference."
"Why don't you jump into a practice uniform, and you can come a join us?" The coach said.
"Are you sure about that?" She asked the coach.
"I'm sure. I'd like to see how another team plays." He said, "What position are you?"
"I can play any. What do you need?" She said.
"We're short a goalie today. Tony left early because he was sick, so if you can be-"
"Oh! I love being goalie! I once took a 20 mile slap-shot to the head. I didn't have my helmet on at the time, because it was being repaired in the shop." She said, "I was knocked out for a couple of minutes, but I just got back up and continued playing."
"Wow, that's pretty tough." The coach said, "There's no one left in the changing room, so you can jump in there and suit up."
She left and came back ten minutes later suited in a goalie outfit. She slid her hair behind her ears before slipping the helmet on and hooking it. She grabbed a goalie stick and glove and skated out to one of the nets. "Everyone, Kelsy Nyk, our newest student, is joining us today for practice. She use to play on a team back in Edmonton."
She waved a hand. Derek narrowed his eyes at her as she smirked. She got ready as the first face-off went down. It was a practice match. Derek won a face-off and got a break away as he headed towards Kelsy net. She came out, sliding back slowly as she watched the puck. He saw one of his teammates out of the corner of his eyes, and passed it to him. His teammate did a fake one-timer as Kelsy slid over, ready to deflect the shot, but he passed it back up to Derek who gave a wrist shot. Kelsy dove onto the ice and it rebounded off her pads, and Derek went to try to pocket it in the corner but she caught it in her glove.
The coach blew his whistle and they started in the face-off on the right side of the goal in one of the face-off circles. He dropped the puck and Derek won again, passing it back to Sam, who brought it through and up towards Kelsy. He shot it to Derek who gave a one-timer. It raised in the air, and Kelsy jumped on the ice and caught it in air, coming back down on the ice and sliding it to one of her teammates, who broke away through the defence and towards the other goal. He did a slap shot and it went through the pie-hole of the other goalie.
Derek skated over towards Kelsy. "You think you're so great, why don't you come out to the face off circle, and we can test real skill there."
"Sure, I'll come out." She said unhooking her helmet. She took off the huge pads and slipped on some knee pads, and a regular helmet. One of the centers took the goalie position as Derek and Kelsy came to the face-off circle on the left side of the goal.
"You ready to be massacred, Venturi?" She challenged.
"You'll never win." He challenged back. The puck was dropped, and their sticks collided, Kelsy winning the draw. She jumped over Derek's stick and skated towards the goal, her teammate passed it from the blue line up from her, and she grabbed the puck from the air and put it on the ground, going one on one with the goalie. She faked left before shooting it over the goalies right shoulder.
"Couldn't even get a hand on the puck I see, Derek." She said as she skated back towards the face off circle.
"Just you wait and see." He said. The puck dropped and Derek won the face off, by passing it to defence who passed it up to Sam. Sam and Derek broke past defence. Kelsy skated quickly past them. Sam passed to Derek to do a one-timer, but when he shot it bounced off Kelsy's helmet, knocking it off. She grabbed the puck and put it on the ice before it fell. She spun through Derek and Sam, before going through the defence. She turned around, skating backwards as she came close to the goalie. She circled the goal-post as the goalie watched her. She bounced the puck off the wall to her team mate. She hit her stick on the ground, signifying to pass the puck to her. Her teammate did and the goalie got ready to block, so she spun the other way and got it in, right past his foot and the post.
"Give up, Derek. You can't win against me. I'll take any hit, any penalty, anything. You'll never win against me." She said smirking.
After the practice game, the coach came over to Kelsy. "You're amazingly talented. Have you ever thought about trying out for the team here?"
"NOOOOOOO!!!!!!" Derek yelled, hearing the coach ask Kelsy to join the team.
