Steaming hot water from the team shower pounds against my scalp and runs
down the length of me. It’s almost enough to distract me from my disaster
of a failed pass tonight. Almost.
The rest of the Aces are shouting and bantering in the showers around
me, but their voices meld into a jumble of background noise as scenes from
the game we just played flash in my mind like I’m playing it all over again.
“We’re down to the wire, but Camden has the puck and what could be
the start of a real turnaround here, folks!” The announcer’s booming voice
echoes in my head, urging me on. The game is tied and there’s less than a
minute left on the clock, but that’s all the time I need.
A wet towel claps against bare skin and a shout rings out in sync with
the crowd howling in my memory.
The Prowler’s nervous goalie steels himself as I hurtle toward him,
picking up speed like a freight train. There’s nothing in my way, and the
poor fucker knows I’m about to hit him with everything I’ve got.
“Wake up, Camden!” Noah, our team captain, barks, and I can’t tell if
I’m hearing him in my memory, in reality, or both.
I keep hammering down the ice as my vision turns black at the edges
and every muscle in my legs screams along with the crowd. They know as
well as I do that I’ve got this. They’ve seen me sink easier shots than this
before.
“Camden!” Noah’s voice shouts from two worlds at once.
One of the Prowlers appears out of nowhere, trucking at me from my
right like his life depends on it, and I panic. Fuck, he’s moving too fast. I’m
not gonna make it.
“Goddamn it, Camden!” Noah’s voice hounds me again.
This time I look. Noah is farther up the ice and alone to the left of the
goalie. If I act fast, I can pass to him before the asshole Prowler chasing me
figures out what’s happening. If Noah takes the shot from there, the goalie
will never see it coming and the game is guaranteed to be ours. But I’ve got
a wide-open shot from here!
“Did you get hit so hard you lost your hearing or something?” Noah
asks and shoves me gently.
I almost fall on my face as someone checks me from behind. The rink
blurs around me while I fumble, and when I stabilize, my face blazes as I
see my least favorite person rocketing down the ice in the other direction
with the puck.
“That Kaplan guy has gotta be the biggest prick around,” Reese, our left
winger and co-captain, says from the other side of the showers like he’s
reading my mind, and I snap out of my daydream. The other Aces must
have finished cleaning up a while ago, judging by how dry and clothed they
all are. But Noah is standing there and looking at me like I grew a second
head.
