Caught by the Hockey Captain
Nathan was the hockey team's resident troublemaker.
On the ice he was cocky and impossible, yet every night he logged on right on schedule, humbly seeking guidance from the tactical god 'IceTyrant'.
And me? I was Quinn, the team's invisible gofer, hauling gear and washing jerseys all day while the players looked down their noses at me.
Then one day he found out who I really was. He backed me into a corner, gripped my chin, and said,
"Quinn, I've got money, and I make the rules."
"Reject me one more time. I dare you."
Later the whole school saw it.
That hockey captain, usually too cool for everyone, was chasing after me with a plate of peeled shrimp,
"Baby, just one more bite. Please."
