Semua Bab My Ice Hockey Boy : Bab 41 - Bab 50

Avery's POV My eyes continued to twitch as Captain John spoke with us. Seeing Roy from my peripheral vision as he was laughing among his friends as if he hadn't just blocked my chance of shooting the puck into the net."The team will deliberate on your performances," John disclosed while walking back and forth in front of the applicants."Don't expect that all of you will make it," he added coldly.The applicants nervously nodded but I was still stuck on the shot that I couldn't make."You are dismissed," John instructed and we, the newbie players all scrambled out of the rink.Kate held her head up high as she exited the ice rink as if she was already certain that she was going to make the team.King walked slowly so that he could probably admire Lina's beauty for longer."Wait," the pretty manager softly called from her seat.Kate and King stopped while I continued to mutter curses under my breath as I walked to the bleachers with an angered heart."Wait," she repeated.King excited

AUTHOR'S POV Lina clicked to the next slide and the players became silent as the next set of photos were displayed.Avery's photo was in the very middle and the players' gazes immediately focused on her.She really didn't appear like she had experience. However, it was actually pretty hard to tell since her story were nothing to write home about. Lina cleared her throat and zoomed in on the three players at the bottom."Roy," Lina started off. "Let's talk about him first."Shaw clicked his tongue and crossed his arms in front of his chest."Is there even something to discuss about this guy?" he asked.Janet nodded in agreement. "Aside from his decent physique, there's really nothing good about him.""He played dirty all throughout," another player added. "He even elbowed my ribs in the process and it's still sore until now."Lina clicked her tongue. "I agree with everything you said. His friends aren't any better, too. I even wonder why they tried out for the team.""I heard somethi

Chapter 46Avery's POVI quickly finished my lunch with my cheeks puffed up with food. Few minutes later, I was standing with Bee in front of the school's bulletin board.To the other students, it seemed like I was a squirrel that that had stored nuts inside its cheeks and they kept staring at me weirdly. In fact, I might even consider myself pretty unattractive.However, for the people who watched me as I passed them, it only added to my infamous aura. I looked like I had just devoured one of my enemies whole!I couldn't help but crack my knuckles out of nervousness. I knew I wasn't able to do my best during the tryouts but I definitely wasn't the worst player in the bunch.Moreover, when Bee stated that I had been chosen, hope had bloomed inside my heart. On my way there, I saw King, who wore a wide smile on his face. It didn't take a genius to know that he made it into the Hockey team. Out of everyone who tried out, he was definitely the player with the most shots, rebounds and as

Avery's POV Dr. Monroe entered the classroom with a face that couldn't be painted. He always looked like a sheep that had been milked a couple more times than the ordinary, but today, he appeared even more dehydrated.It seemed like I wasn't the only one who noticed the shift in his attitude. Everyone in the class became quiet as soon as he entered the classroom.The old man placed down his belongings on the table in a way calmer than we had anticipated. The action made all of us even more nervous as we all seemed to be wondering what had gotten into the old man's head."First, let us deal with the answers to your assignment," he said and turned around to write on the board.One brave soul raised her hand and asked a question."Aren't you going to give us back our papers, sir?"Dr. Monroe turned around with a subtle glare in his eyes. The girl swiftly zipped her mouth shut and stopped prying further.Dr. Monroe wrote down the answers on the board and rapidly discussed the rationale b

Avery's POVI sat by the bench, dejected, while the other second-string players cheered for John who had just landed a shot and smoothly skated back to their side on the rink.I couldn't believe I was still doing the same old thing. I shouldn't be watching the players from the sideline as they played to their hearts' extent.Even though my mood wasn't great, I still took the time to observe John's playing style. I had never seen him play before and I was pleasantly surprised. The captain definitely deserved his title since he was the best player among everyone on the rink.Sharon, too, wasn't bad at all. However, it seemed like she wouldn't be entirely comfortable playing on the rink if John wasn't the one playing beside her. As far as I knew, Sharon was also a third-year student like John, so she must have become stuck to him.Kate and King were doing relatively well even though it was their first time training with the old players. King was undoubtedly better than Kate but I could a
