chapter 5:Hans

Maxine Parker.

I grumble under my breath as I skate to the other side of the rink. I enjoy tormenting her because I love the pitiful look on her face, but weirdly enough, I don't like it when she looks sad because of somebody else.

Ever since kindergarten, I have always picked on her because of her small stature.It was so easy to spot her in a crowd of kids.Those rosy cheeks and freckles on her pout little nose annoyed me so much that I made it my life goal to make her cry every single time.

From kindergarten, middle school, and now high school. There's just no way fate can get rid of me.

Humilating her with that pathetic love letter to my teammates and the school would have been my greatest enjoyment, but I blurted out something I shouldn't have.

"Then date me four eyes."

Those words haunt me everytime I close my eyes , but seeing her tempered face proved to even be more joyful.Besides, I really do need to get Amber off my back. She practically slept with the whole team, but she clings to me for dear life even when I never slept with her.

Even though Amber is pretty.She has a massive ego and rotten personality. Not a day goes by and she is always screaming my name. At every game ,recess and following me to practice. It's very hard to shake her off.

"Morgan!" Ethan's voice pulls me of my thoughts and I turn back to look at him,"What are you thinking about?You are lagging behind with that play ."

"None of your business,asshole ,"I huff and he grins at me like we are bestfriends.

"Cold shoulder as usual " He quirks an eyebrow at me and I try my best not to throw him back on the floor.

"Don't you know!" Silas giggles like a girl. "He has a girlfriend!"

"What the hell man ! "Ethan throws his head back and laughs ,"You can't be serious.Is it Amber? "

I don't even date but the fact that he pairs me with Amber is a sign that I need to get my life in order.When I look at Ethan,I remember the exact words Maxine wrote in her sick love letter.

"Hai, its me Maxine Parker. I'm so nervous because this is the first time I have ever done this... ... But I like you so much than and I was wondering if you want me to go with you to prom."

I want to barf, just remembering those stupid words. Ethan is insufferable and a walking STD. People say I am a man whore, but Ethan takes the cake. He's the school's golden boy and... walking STD. He hides it pretty well, but I know him, and maybe ist probably best that I should ruin Maxine's hope of ever getting close to him.

It's not that I like Maxine but I just love her crying face.

"Is it true?" Ethan widens his eyes. "You have a girlfriend? I always thought you were brash and aggressive."

"I have blood vessels and a beating heart," I deadpan. "So of course I'm going to date a girl. I'm not like that sticks his tongue down any girl's throat."

"Be careful,"Ethan slides back with a smile on his face ,"You were doing the same and worse off your have a team of cheerleaders that thirst for you . So who is she ?"

I bend a bit to gauge my focus on the ice. I hate being the captain of my team but I love the ice and the way my skate glide through the ice effortlessly.

" Why do you want to know ? "my lips twitch and not in a nice way. I should have punched him a while ago but he is the best goalie we have at the moment and I would hate to ruin the balance of the team

"Who is she?"Ethan presses and Silas interrupts the noth of us because he knows that I might pass my limit of friendly

"Bro,"he slides in front of Ethan,"We will find out but I doubt it's Amber "

"I can do whatever I want " I skate away from Ethan and Silas,"and I'm not dating Amber ! "

"Not so faast!" he shouts from behind and I cringe.

Maybe this fake relationship might be fun enough to torment four eyes once again. If her crying face doesn't get any worse than what I saw when she was embarrassed with that letter then I will continue to play this game with her.As long as I get to see that pitiful face of hers.
