Just a game of hockey
Matthew sat on the couch, watching some movie. He didn't really care about it. He was bored. His brother wasn't here, he was on some date with Kiku. Matthew sighed. Days like these made him feel lonely.
Suddenly his cell phone rang. Happy to fight the boredom for few minutes he answered the phone. "Yes? Matthew speaking."
"Yo, Mattie, How are you?" It was a friend from school. "L-lars, I'm fine and you." "Great. Look I was wondering, do you have anything to do tomorrow?"
Matthew looked tad surprised. "No, why?" Matthew asked, he was kind of curious. People rarely phoned him, or even visit him. Well, Lars had visited him before, but most of the time it was with a group of his friends. They'd all hang out at his place.
"A good, I got 2 tickets to ice hockey game and you like ice hockey right?" Matthew smiled. Someone actually remembered that he liked it. "Y-yes." Matthew answered excitedly.
"Ok then it's a deal!" Lars said as excited at Matthew. Then a silence fell.
"Uhm…so where do we meet?" Matthew asked pulling his shirt. "Hm…let's uhm…say 7 pm I'll pick ya up, ok?"
"Ok, cya" "Yeah, Cya!"
Matthew was really excited and couldn't wait till tomorrow. He grinned. He was happy. Saturday night and he would finally have something to do. Normally he'd spend those evening studying or playing games with friends. Most of his friends went out in weekends, Matthew didn't. Sometimes he wished he could be more like them. Anyway who cares, he was going to a hockey game! …with Lars. He blushed at that thought. He shook his head and grinned.
Lars hung up on the other side of the phone. He had a date uhm… deal, yeah deal. With the cutest guy in school! Lars didn't care about hockey, someone had at his job had given him tickets. But hell did the Canadian. Lars was excited. Excited over what? Oh he was turning weak inside. Lars appeared tough on the outside, but he had a soft spot for Matthew. They were just friends, but no one ever told him they can't hang out together right? It was just a nice evening watching ice hockey together. Lars smiled. Then got up and went back to work. The entire evening he wore that smile on his face, it made people wonder what he was planning. Though no one dared to ask.
