TRISTAN

The rest of the guys and I are hanging out at the Blue Pig, one of the major bars off campus. We’re got a table and a semi-circle booth, and we’re unwinding from a long week. Classes are starting to heat up with the big lift of finals season already on the horizon.

It’s sure as fuck been a long week for me. From the unstable, chaotic tension between me and Kennedy that dominated the first half of the week, to the mind blowing, hottest sex of my life that’s dominated the second half of the week, it feels like a lifetime of sensations was shoved into the last seven days.

“I’m thinking California,” Hunter says. “Warm sun, beaches, surfing, hot girls. Perfect weather. Not a bad contrast to the chill of the ice.”

“I’d go to the frozen tundra of Canada if I had to,” Liam says, his voice more intense and less playful, “I just wanna make it to the pros.”

“No doubt one of us will get the short straw and go to a team up North,” Cole says.

“It’s worth it for the money,” Ryder adds. “Plus, those Canucks know how to win on the ice. You gotta give ‘em that.”

“As if you need any money,” I tease Ryder.

Ryder slams down a shot of vodka in one gulp. “I will once he cuts me off.”

“If your dad cuts you off because you can’t graduate, no team’s gonna want you, either. They want to see dedication, perseverance. You’re a damn good player, but you can’t expect teams to take a chance on you if they think you’re unreliable.” Those words of wisdom are spoken by Blaze. He rarely joins us on our nights out to the bars anymore, not after shacking up with his soulmate, Kay. But she’s out of town at a physics conference, so we’re all glad he was able to make it out with us tonight.

He's also known Ryder long enough to not be shy about speaking the kind of hard truths he needs to hear. Ryder, for his part, only orders another shot from a passing waitress and shows Blaze his middle finger.

But from the look on Ryder’s face, it’s clear he knows Blaze is right.

“What about you?” Hunter directs his question to me. “Where do you want to play?”

My shoulders hunch. I haven’t laced up a pair of skates since that impromptu scrimmage we had a couple weeks ago. Where I played like absolute shit.

“Doesn’t matter to me,” I answer at a clip before submerging my mouth in my full glass of beer.

Truth be told, I never thought too much about my professional career. I always took it as a given, since it’s not like I had anything else going for me. But ever since I started on the Hot Shots, my real goal, the thing that really drove me on the ice, wasn’t the promise of fame and riches on an NHL hockey team.

It was winning the big one for the Ridley Hot Shots, the thing
