you were forced by your closest friend, annie to watch the school hockey game because her boyfriend, nathan played.

you simply sat there in boredom, chewing your strawberry gum while you idly typed away on your phone, hearing the sounds of boyish grunts as they skidded across the ice.

“number three! christopher sturniolo scored the winning goal for the somerville highlanders!”

you flinched at the sound of cheers and roars erupted throughout the crowd, annie standing up and cheering for nathan.
