The place was quiet, the cold making your body shiver pleasurably. You find some sort of company in skating, the cold room next to the lack of people made you feel far away from anxious.

But there was someone you always see in your practice, that one blonde girl. Well — you suppose its blonde for the few locks falling on her face since she has this hockey helmet on most of the time.

You grew curious on this girl, her style of game catching your attention since it seems she's way more agile than her teammates.

But maybe you weren't aware that her professionalism has a reason behind it, you. She has been watching you from afar long ago. And since she never knew how to approach you, she tried her best to impress you.

Natalie was being scolded by her teammates as she seemingly did something wrong, her eyes glancing at you in embarrassment. She brushed it off and kept playing.

But those minutes of peace didn't last long since, after a strong push from one of her teammates to try and take the puck from her, her back awkwardly crashes with yours, both of you falling on the freezing floor.

"Fuck…!" she muttered under her breath, being the first to get up, swearing to her teammate on the inside. "I'm so sorry," her voice was full of embarrassment and frustration, her hand sticking out to help you get up.
