Author's Note: Hey I've come back with chapter two!! They have grown up a bit now and hopefully it'll still be a cute story even though little kids are the best! If anything in my writing seems random, it's not. I use foreshadowing and I have little things that will come up again later in the story so if you get confused it will all be explained later! Please review I love to hear what you have to say!

Chapter Two Hockey Beginnings

"Connie, Connie! Guess what?" Guy yelled as he ran up the street towards my house. We have been walking to school together for a year now. Not much has changed since we were little. Guy's mom throws us an anniversary dinner the night before school starts every year. The only thing that is different now that we are in the 5th grade is how we look.

I've grown my hair out to my waist. It's still dark brown. My eyes are as Guy puts it, magic. They are brown with flecks of gold. Guy's hair has just gotten lighter since we started school. We joke around that by the time we go into high school he'll have a head of white hair!

"What did your mom buy you new skates?" I took a wild guess at what could get him this excited. Normally a snow day was the only thing that could make him like this. Today was frigid for February but there was no chance of snow.

"No, better then even that!" Guy said as he grabbed a book that was about to fall out of my grip. "You really need to get a better backpack, someday I might not be here to catch you things."

"That's a lie and you know it! You'll always be by my side," I said laughing. "So are you going to tell me what this big news is? I really wanna know!"

"Well, me and the guys decided to make a hockey team and mom's letting me join! Isn't that cool!" Guy said getting really excited again.

"Would I be able to join the team too? I like hockey and I'm good at it!" I said thinking that Guy was going to leave me out of something he did. Guy was the one that taught me how to play hockey.

"It's not my decision but I think they have to let you play. If they don't I'll quit the team!" Guy promised me as we turned onto the road with our school.

"If I don't get on the team you are not quitting! Understand? Who's on the team?" I asked hoping it was just our group of friends.

"Just the guys, Charlie, Pete, Terry, Jesse, Goldburg, Carp, and Averman. That should be it but I might have missed somebody, I don't remember." Guy said with a perplexed look on his face. "You should have your mom call tonight that way you can make our first practice!"

"I definitely will! Hockey will be so much fun!" I squealed, "I can't wait to get home and sign up!" We had just started up the steps of the school when a large eighth grader came up and knocked all of my books to the ground. "Hey what was that for?"

"Awww, is the little girl gonna cry because all of her stuff is messed up?" The older boy taunted.

"Leave her alone!" Guy yelled dropping his bag and jumping in front of me. "Leave us alone and go bother somebody else!"

"What are you her boyfriend?" The older boy said with a laugh, "Do you think you can mess with me?"

"Yes I'm her boyfriend and you better believe I'll at least try and take you on if you ever come near Connie again," Guy sneered taking a fighting stance.

"Whatever you say little man, whatever you say," The boy said pushing Guy to the ground. He then turned to me and I started to visibly shake. "Hey, I don't ever hit a lady," he took my hand and kissed the back of it before I could jerk away, "Mmm feisty, I like that."

"If that creep even thinks of going near you again I'm going to pound him to pieces, Guy said fuming as he stood up. He face turned from one of fury to one of concern as he turned to look at me, "Are you alright? He didn't hurt you right?"

"I'm perfectly fine Guy, just need to wash my hand. So, ummm, did you mean what you said about you being my boyfriend?" I asked cautiously as I began to pick up my books.

"Of course I did. I figure we are already married so we might as well be boyfriend-girlfriend. If that's alright with you, I mean." Guy said kneeling down to help me.

"Yeah I'm just making sure. So the first hockey practice is tonight right?"

"Yup, tonight at the pond. Please make sure you sign up and be down there by seven okay?"

"Seven? Okay I'll be there. And if I don't get to play I'll be there showing off how much better I am then all of you." I said sticking my tongue out and jogging ahead of a dumbstruck Guy.

"Hey! We have hockey practice, I'm sorry but you can't skate right now!" A man in about his mid forties yelled at me as I started out onto the ice.

"Well sir is this district five hockey practice?" I asked and he nodded his head in response. "Well I'm Connie, the newest member of your hockey team sir. My mom just signed me up today so you probably weren't told yet."

"Oh, well, a girl playing hockey? Are you sure you don't want to do figure skating or something?" The man asked me.

"Hey! Connie could probably beat most of us out here on the ice!" Charlie said in my defense.

"Yeah Coach McCabe, I taught her how to play so she's pretty good and you should give her a chance," Guy said skating up next to me. The rest of the team said yeah and give her a chance at different times.

"Fine! I'm Coach McCabe and this is the hockey team who you apparently know already. Just know I won't take it any easier on you then I would on any other member of this team. Got that!" He yelled into my face. I nodded backing up into Guy. "Okay team, show me what you've got!"

After deciding teams we all skated out onto the ice. It took only seconds for Coach to realize how bad we were. The entire team was on their bottoms in about fifteen seconds. Averman had backed up and was now trying to be the announcer. He was doing a good but annoying job until Terry checked him to the ground.

"That's it! I've seen enough! You bunch of kids don't know the first thing about hockey and it would take a miracle to teach you!" He screamed at us as we gathered around him. "Now get out of here! Now!"

"Man he's a nice guy. Can't wait to spend more time with him," Guy said sarcastically as we walked down the street. I nodded in agreement with him. It was really cold and I had left my jacket at home earlier because it had warmed up a bit. I started to shiver. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine," I lied not wanted Guy to think of me as a baby who forgot their coat. I wrapped my arm around myself to try and get warm.

"No you're cold. Here take this," Guy said stopping to take off his coat and drape it over my shoulders. When I started to protest Guy interrupted me. "I've got a nice sweater under this. I'll be fine. Don't even try to give it back until your forever warm,"

"Thanks," I said blushing and looking down at my shoes. I snuggled deeper into the coat to get warm thinking about when forever warm would really be.

Thank you to my reviewers!
