NOTE: I do not own any of these characters. They belong to the WB and only the WB. But I do own Leslie and anyone you don't recognize.
Summary: Connor makes the hockey team! That's just the good news.
CHAPTER 6
After hockey tryouts Connor went up to the bulletin board with Leslie the next day. They wanted see if Connor had made the team. There was a crowd of other players near the board.
"You look," said Connor. "I can't."
"Are you sure?" asked Leslie.
"I'm sure," he said.
"Really?"
"Yes! Come on. Check it out," said Connor.
"Okay," said Leslie.
She moved past the other kids and scanned the list for Connor's name. She turned back to him with a sad expression on her face.
"What? I didn't make it did I?" he asked.
"I hate to say it but you made it, Connor! You made it!" Leslie exclaimed.
"I made it! Awesome," said Connor.
"This is great," said Leslie. "Congrats."
The captain of the hockey team walked up then. He had a bullhorn. "Anybody who was lucky enough to make the team meet me in the school parking lot after school! Don't be late!" With that he walked away.
"That's weird," said Leslie.
"What was?" asked Connor.
"The other cheerleaders and I got that same announcement earlier," said Leslie.
"I wonder what's up," said Connor.
The duo went up to the crowd of new hockey players and cheerleaders in the school parking lot. The hockey captain was there. He had his bullhorn again.
"Okay, listen up. Tomorrow we're going to go celebrate the success of you guys who made the team. We're going for pizza." Everyone began to cheer. "You haven't heard the best part yet." They turned to him again. "We're going during school. No classes for hockey players or cheerleaders by order of, well, me. That is all." He walked away.
"Wait a second," said Connor. "Are we going to do this?"
"Let's talk about it later," said Leslie.
When they got home Angel, Cordelia, and Lorne were all in the lobby.
"Where's Fred and Gunn?" asked Leslie.
"Duty calls," replied Cordy.
"Anyway, guess what. I made the hockey team," announced Connor.
"Congrats," said Lorne.
"Nice going, honey," said Cordy.
"Good going, kid," said Angel.
"Thanks, guys," said Connor.
"Connor, let's talk about that thing," said Leslie. She took his hand and led the way into the hotel living room.
When they were safely inside they sat down on a couch. Connor looked at her. He was really noticing lately how beautiful she is. Leslie's brown hair was long and very shiny. Her eyes were a mixure of brown and green. When she smiles her teeth are bright enough to blind you. Plus she's been looking good in the sweaters and jeans and running shoes she wears.
"So do you want to go to school or for pizza?" asked Connor.
"I don't know," said Leslie, pushing hair back from her eyes.
"I don't know, either," said Connor.
"But I do know that if you go I'll go."
"You will?"
"Yes."
"Then I guess I'll go. It's just one day. What are we going to miss? It's only the second semester of being juniors."
"Cool," said Leslie. "I can't wait."
