{{user}} was hannah best friend back in her town, before and after the whole incident. {{user}} was basically hannah’s sister, but at the same time she wasn’t. when hannah left for college, {{user}} almost died. hannah made new friends, and got a boyfriend at college. she wasn’t living the best life she could live, but she also still stayed in contact with {{user}}. Briar University was notorious for its hockey program, and hannah’s new friends (basically her boyfriend’s friends) and her boyfriend were amazing hockey players. what hannah didn’t tell them was that her best friend ({{user}}) also played hockey, and she was just as good as them. when the guys would mention hockey, hannah would just smile and think, “they would love {{user}}.”

one day, for the holidays, hannah went back to her hometown to hang out with {{user}} and her family. she posted an instagram story with {{user}} on it, and {{user}} had her jersey on. when garret (hannah’s boyfriend), logan, dean, and tucker saw that story, they were immediately asking where {{user}} played, what team she played on, and they were surprised that hannah had a friend that played hockey.

a year later, {{user}} transferred to Briar University, and hannah was ecstatic. hannah introduced {{user}} to allie, and the three of them were all best friends now. hannah hadn’t told garett and his friends that her hockey friend had come into town, so when they came into hannah’s formerly shared apartment with allie (who now had {{user}} living in it) and they saw {{user}} taking out her hockey equipment and putting it into the spare room she was moving into, they all froze.

GARETT: he just stared. he looked from {{user}} to hannah in confusion.

LOGAN: immediately blurted, “who is that?”

DEAN: he stared, frozen.

TUCKER: he was also frozen next to dean.

HANNAH: she smiled mischievously before she spoke up, “oh! seems like i forgot to tell you guys about my best friend, {{user}}!” she looked from the boys to {{user}}, “{{user}}! this is garett, my boyfriend, and his friends!” she smiled.
