Weston
The icy air stings my cheeks as I try to catch my breath, slumped against
my locker. The sound of cheering fans vibrates through the walls, a
reminder of our victory on the ice moments ago.
“Hey, Weston!” Amir calls out from across the locker room, a wide grin
plastered on his face. “What’s it like being the baby on the team and still
scoring the winning goal, huh?”
I chuckle, wiping the moisture from my brow. “It’s a tough job, but
someone’s gotta do it. But you know I’m not even close to being the
youngest on the team, asshole,” I shoot back, smirking at him.
“Seriously though, man, you were on fire out there!” Our center, Thiago,
chimes in, clapping me on the back. “You’ve definitely earned your spot
amongst us old guys.”
“Old? Speak for yourself, Thiago,” I retort, laughing with him as the chatter
continues around me. The voices of my teammates overlap with their
infectious energy that’s hard not to get caught up in.
“Come on, Wes,” Amir says, nudging me playfully. “Admit it, you’re just
trying to show off for all those puck bunnies waiting outside.”
My cheeks flush at the mention of the groupies that always seem to be
lurking in the shadows, but I won’t give him the satisfaction of knowing he
got to me. “Nah,” I reply nonchalantly. “I’m just here for the love of the
game.”
The banter begins to die down, and I feel the adrenaline from the game
slowly fading, replaced by a growing sense of exhaustion. I know my
teammates are raring to head out and celebrate our win, but I don’t really
feel like doing the same.
“Alright, time to get changed and get out of here,” I mutter to anyone who’s
close by or more so to myself. With the sound of Velcro ripping apart and
zippers sliding down their tracks, I start to peel off my sweat-soaked gear.
My skin is chilled from the slick coolness of the ice still clinging on, and
my tired muscles burn as I strip down to my base layers.
“Hey, Wes, you coming with us or what?” Thiago calls out, interrupting my
thoughts. I look up to see him already dressed and ready to go.
“I’ll walk outside with you guys, but I’m going to head home instead of
going out,” I reply, forcing a smile. “Just give me a little bit to shower and
grab my stuff.”
It only takes me a few minutes for a quick shower and to dress for me to be
ready to leave. I open my locker, pull out my duffel bag, and sling it over
my shoulder.
“Come on, baby Halliday,” Amir teases as he passes by, clapping a hand on
my shoulder. “We don’t have all night!”
“Alright, alright, I’m coming!” I chuckle, shaking my head at his antics. My
hopes are not high in finding anything meaningful with any girls I could
possibly meet tonight, nothing like the feeling I had that one snowy night in
an Ann Arbor hotel room a few months ago.
The moment I step outside of the arena, the plethora of excited voices
washes over me. The sound of fans chanting my name fills the air. I smile
as I take in the scene.
