Okay, here's the second chapter. I changed a bit for the people that said it was one big paragraph. I hope that this is better.
Walking through the crowded airport, I frowned a bit as I followed Doc, Craig, and my dad out to the car. Being woken up by spraying water wasn't exactly putting me in the best mood. As we made our way out to the parking lot I let out a small yawn as I looked down at my feet.
I felt a small jolt, and I took a few steps back as I tried to gain balance, but I didn't manage to. I ended up sitting flat on my butt, looking up. A guy that looked to be about my age stood towering over me. He had a look of concern on his face as he held out his hand.
"You okay?" he asked me.
Nodding my head, I grabbed his hand and he helped pull me off the ground. "Yeah, I'm okay." I said with a small smile.
Letting out a small sigh of relief he smiled back at me. "So sorry about that."
I shook my head a bit, "It wasn't your fault. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."
He nodded his head a bit as he looked at me. "Oh, and by the way, I'm David Silk." he said as he held his hand out once more.
Smiling, I grabbed his hand once more and gave a small shake. "Taylor Brooks."
"Well nice to meet you." he said with a smile.
I nodded my head as I looked, trying to spot dad. I saw him standing near the entrance. He was tapping his foot as his eyes were focused on me. I tried not to roll my eyes as I looked at David. "Sorry to end this meeting short, but I really have to go."
He smiled once more as he nodded his head. "Okay. Maybe I'll see you later."
I nodded my head as I started to walk away. "Maybe." I called over my shoulder as I gave a small wave.
"Were late." my dad said as he walked out into the bright sun shine.
I rolled my eyes at him, "Sorry." I said as we made our way to the car.
We reached the arena about a half an hour later. There were already people gathered at the entrance to the door. We climbed out of the car and made our way towards the back of the building.
"I have special access." my dad said, pulling out a set of keys and opening the door.
We walked into the building. I shivered a bit as the cold air blasted on my bare arms. We made our way back towards were the locker rooms were. My dad's temporary office was the last one.
The room really didn't have much in it, but he would only be using it for a few days. He placed his file down on the desk and popped it open.
"Here." he said handing me a folder that was bulging.
Opening it, I stared down at the sheets of paper that were tucked neatly inside. "What's this for?" I asked, looking up at him.
"Its a list of guys that will be trying out. I want you to check the boys in."
I rolled my eyes slightly as I looked down at the sheets. There was about 15 pages full of names. "Okay." I said as I let out a small sigh.
My dad smiled as we walked back out of the office. "I'll be upstairs if you need anything." he said.
Nodding my head I watched as my dad walked away with Doc and Craig right behind him.
I sighed as I shut the folder and made my way towards the front. There were already guys lining up. I took my seat and opened the folder. A girl about my age sat down next to me giving me a smile.
"Hi, I'm Tessa." she said, holding out her hand.
Smiling, I shook her hand a bit, "I'm Taylor."
"Nice to meet you. So you helping out with try-outs too?" she questioned as she looked over the folder that was sitting in front of me.
"Well kind of. I'm actually the team manager."
"Really?" she said with a raise of her eyebrows.
I nodded my head, "Yeah, my dad's actually the head coach."
"Wow, that's really cool. My brother's actually trying out for the team."
"Really? Who is it?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow.
She pointed out a guy that was standing with a group of guys, laughing and joking around.
I noticed him as the guy that I bumped into at the airport. "Really?" I asked as I looked back over her.
"Yep." she said with a huge grin.
I nodded my head a bit as I opened the folder. I felt a pair of hands cover my eyes.
"Boo." came the loud voice.
I let out a small laugh as I removed the hands and turned around to see Buzzy Schneider and Phil Verchota.
"Hey guys." I said as I stood up and gave each of them a hug.
"Hey Tay." Phil said as he gave me a small smile.
"How have you guys been?" I questioned as I leaned back against my chair.
"Good." Buzzy said with a small nod of his head. "You?"
"Never been better Buzzy." I said with a smile.
"Great." he said as he looked over at Phil. "Well we better go. See you later."
I nodded my head as I watched the two walk away. I sat back down at felt Tessa's eyes on me.
"Who were they?" she questioned.
"Some old friends of mine. Why?"
"Well the brown haired one was pretty cute." she said with a small smile.
I let out a small laugh. "That's Buzzy."
"Maybe you could introduce me to him." she asked as she looked over at me with almost pleading eyes.
"Okay." I said with a smile and a nod of the head.
"Thank you!" she said with a small squeal as she gave me a hug.
"Your welcome." I said as I let out a small laugh.
By the time that the last person had checked in I was really tired. "I could die right now." I said as I placed my head down on the table.
Tessa smiled as she nodded her head a bit. "Me too."
I picked my head up and glanced over at her. "Since were done here how about we go watch the try-outs?"
She nodded her head as we both stood up. Making our way to the rink we passed by many of the guys. I waved to a few of the one's that I knew, as did Tessa. We took seats in the front row and watched as the guys skated back and forth.
"They all look really good." Tessa said as she watched a few of the guys take shots on the goalie.
I nodded my head, "Yeah, my dad's going to have a hard time picking out 26 names." I said as a loud whistle blew, signaling the end of practice.
Viola! There is the third chapter. Hope you all liked it.
