Leavin It On The Ice ch. 4
Elsa's P.O.V.
I've been waiting anxiously for the posting of the new recruits for the hockey team since Friday and it's finally Monday which means that I will found out if I made it or not. I couldn't focus in class like I normally do because I want to find out if I'm going to be a hockey player or not because I really want to be. This would mean so much to me as well as my family because it runs in the family and I want to make them proud of me. It's something I love doing and it's something that I am good at because I have the skill to excel in it.
If I make the team then I have a lot to live up to because my brother was captain and a beast on the ice but I know that I can do this. School let out early because someone blow up one of the chemistry lab again so that means I can find sooner than expected so I walk to the bulletin board where the teams and clubs post news on what's going with them. I see Kristoff, Eric, and Flynn waiting by the bulletin board with a few other guys looking to see if they made it or not. Some are bummed out while others are high-fiving each other before going about their business. I walked up to the bulletin board before scanning the hockey team recruits.
Hockey Team Recruits:
Kristoff Bjorgman
Eric Dutchmen
Elsa Frost
Flynn Fitherbert
Jim Hawkins
Hercules Anagnos
Luke Skywalker
Practice is after school at 4 on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays. Bring your own gear and don't be late.
I can't believe it. I can't believe it. I made the team. I'm on the hockey team! I'm a hockey player. I turn to face the guys to see the huge grins on their faces before Kristoff takes in his arms as Eric hoops and hollering loudly. Flynn stares at the paper with a look of shock and his mouth dragging on the floor.
"Can't believe it. I'm on the hockey team but how. I was the worst one out there" Flynn asked confused.
"Dude, no one was worst than that Milo kid. He couldn't stand upright on his skate for more than a couple seconds before falling flat on his face or his butt. Face it Flynn, you're a hockey player on" Eric said patting him on the back.
"And I kiss my charming good looks goodbye" Flynn said sighing sadly.
"What charming good looks?" Kristoff asked raising an eyebrow.
"Shut up, you asshole" Flynn said flipping Kristoff off.
"For what it's worth, thank you for trying out with me, Flynn. I truly do appreciate it" I said wrapping my arm around his shoulders.
"You better because I'm risking my face for you" Flynn said smiling slightly.
"And I do and maybe with a few hits to the head, it'll fix your face to look better. Oh who am I kidding nothing is going to fix that ugly mug of yours" I said laughing.
"Wanna repeat that?" Flynn said pulling me into a headlock.
He rubs his knuckles back and forth against the top of my head as I try to pull myself free and laughing. Kristoff sand Eric weren't any help because they were laughing at us and being jerks but I couldn't bring myself to care because I'm on the hockey team. Nothing can ruin how amazing I am feeling right now and nothing can bring me down but oh wrong I was.
"The freak made it onto the hockey team. Looks like they let anyone join nowadays"
Flynn lets me go to see that it's Hans Westerguard and his lackey standing in front of us with sneers on their faces. I hate the athlete because he got Anna but also he has made my life here a living here ever since my brother graduated and I don't even know why. I try to stay out of Hans' way but he is just dead set on making me and the guys' lives miserable and for what. To make himself look powerful even though I know that he's just a scare little boy that needs everyone's approval.
Everyone knows that the athlete has 12 brothers at home that give him of day and that his parents are rarely at home whole running their multiple million dollar cooperation to spend time with him. I hate him that he has the girl but overall I pity him because it's his way of coping with the pain of his family making feeling inadequate. He makes everyone feel bad about themselves so he make himself feel important. I know that the guys that Hans hangs out with him because he has money, the popularity and can get anything he has without having to work very hard for it but take all those things away, they would leave him.
With me, I have real friends that want to be friends with me because they like the person that I am whether I'm popular or not. They have my back through thick or thin and I have theirs whenever they need me because they know that I pull through when it counts the most. That's the difference between myself and Hans and I'm okay with that but I wish that Anna could see me for me but she doesn't. I wish could see how much I care about her and one day, the head cheerleader will and she will be mine.
"What do you want, Hans? Don't you have somewhere better to be?" I asked frowning.
"Is that anyway to speak to me? I thought that we were friends, Elsa? All the good times that we had together: Us throwing you in the dumpster, us proving how much of freak you guys truly are" Hans said smirking.
"Back off Hans" Kristoff said glaring at Hans.
"Why Reindeer Boy? Don't you have a reindeer to kiss or something? Or better yet why you go find a herd of reindeer because you don't belong around humans because your funk" Hans said getting up in Kristoff's face.
I feel see the anger radiating off of my large friend because everyone knows that Kristoff was adopted by a family of reindeer ranchers in the mountains when he was 8 years old. He doesn't look like any of his family but I know that he's surrounded by lots of fun because his family is super huge. Kristoff hates it when people makes fun of them because they don't have a lot of money or have a business that made tons of money but it's how they get by. Like me, the blonde hockey player comes to this school on a scholarship and it makes him a target for getting picked on. Eric and Flynn hold the Kristoff back from punching Hans' lights out and I step in-between the both of them before we have a fight on our hands.
"Leave Kristoff out of this. If you want to pick on someone than pick on me because I'm not afraid of you. If you want to hit me than hit me but if you do, you'll get kick off of the basketball and football team if you do" I said frowning.
"Oh please like any of you would be willing to tell me if you don't wanna get a beat down from both the football and basketball team especially when we're so close to the championship" Hans said smirking.
"Take your best shot and see if I'm bluffing" I said raising an eyebrow.
We stare at each other for awhile and I am hoping that he wouldn't call my bluff and whoever is listening to me seems to be on my side but Hans just huffs at me.
"You know what. You're lucky that I have somewhere else to be and I don't have time to waste on you and your freaky little crew. Lets go guys" Hans said walking.
Charming, John Smith and Phoebus turn to follow their leader down the hallway as I let out a sigh in relief because I'm not sure what I would have done if Hans had called my bluff. I know that the four of us wont be able to take on both of the football and basketball team if the athlete had gotten suspended because of us especially with championship games around the corner. I don't intend to find out what they want to do us if they lost one of their star players. I turned to see that Kristoff calm down slightly but I can tell that he's pissed off by Hans' comments because they strike too close to home for him.
"Are you okay, Kris?" I asked sympathetically.
"No, I'm not okay. I wanted to knock his fuckin block off" Kristoff said glaring at the lockers.
"I know you did. Heck I wanted to knock him for you but you know that he's not worth getting suspended over. You're better than him, Kristoff" I said placing my hand on his shoulder.
"I know, I know. I'm sorry but I just wish that what he said doesn't get to me so much" Kristoff said sighing.
"Hey buddy, don't apologize for feeling how you feel. You're entitled to your feelings" Flynn said lightly punching Kristoff in the shoulders.
"We should be celebrating that we made the team. I say that we go back our dorm and load up on junk food while playing video games until our eyes fall out of our heads" Eric said grinning.
"I'm down for that" Flynn said with a nod.
"Me too. I could use the distraction" Kristoff said with a small smile.
"I'm in but let me put my backpack in my room then I'll meet you guys there" I replied.
"Sure but hurry up" Kristoff said lightly pushing me.
"Yeah, yeah" I said waving him off.
I turn to walk out of the building towards the girls' dormitory to my room to get rid of my backpack. Living in the dorm was a little weird for me because there's nothing but girls in my dormitory who sometimes walk from the communal bathroom in nothing but towels. I almost died a couple of times from major nosebleeds and had to make a mad dash to my room to rub one out more times than I can count.
The downside of being a girl with male genitalia that I have to worry about surprise boners in the most inconvenient of times. It's the reason why I wear compression short which really uncomfortable when you have a boner. They're normally uncomfortable but I can deal with that but sometimes, they're just down right uncomfortable no matter what you do. I walk to my dorm and I was almost there when I bumped someone making them drop their books.
"I'm sorry. I wasn't watching where I was going" I said picking the books of the ground.
"No, it was my fault. I shouldn't have been carrying so many books at once" Someone said. I look up to see that I had bumped into Anna again for a second time and the cheerleader look at me with a surprise look on her face. I look down at the books that I made her drop to see that they're all hockey related books. Why would she have book on hockey? Anna doesn't know anything about hockey because I have explaining the game to her multiple times in the past and she still couldn't understand. None of this is making sense.
"Anna, why do you have books on hockey?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"N-No particular r-reason" Anna stuttered.
"You have always been a terrible lair" I said snickering slightly.
"That's a mean thing to say" Anna said frowning.
"Maybe but I know you and you couldn't lie to safe your life" I said giving her books back.
"Can I just read a few hockey team for the fun of it?" Anna asked shrugging. "But you hate reading the last time that I check unless it was romantic novels, fairytales, or graphic novels"
"People change, Elsa"
"That is true. Well you'll excuse me, my friends are waiting on me" I said walking around her.
I walk to the door of my dorm when Anna calls out to me and I turn to face. She twirls her braid in-between her fingers and I know that she's nervous because she only does that when something is making her nervous.
"Did you… Did you make the team?" Anna asked curious.
"Yeah, I did" I said smiling.
"Good, good… well um see you later Elsa" Anna said taking off down the hallway.
I raise an eyebrow at the back of the retreating girl before shaking my head. Well that was weird. What's up with her?
