Will it be you?- Chapter 3

I pull up into my complex as turn off my car and I grab my bag with pop-tarts in it.
Closing the door my phone goes off again.

"Now who is it?" i say out loud.

As I walk, I pull the phone out of my pocket.

Flipping it open, it was from Yvette again.
Closing it up, I putmy keys in and unlock the door.
Walking in, i close the door and pull out my phone to see what Yvette wanted.
Hitting her name it appeared.

"wear something penguins, even if it has Mario's number on it. If not yellow and black.
I'm wearing my Malkin shirt,so yeah."

I hit reply

"Ok but who are they playing?"

"columbus, NO JACKET STUFF, AALYAH!!! I dont wanna be seen with a jackets fan,"

'Why not? I LOVE Columbus!!!"

"Cause we live in PITTSBURGH!!!!!"

'Ok ok, I guess i gotta travel to my mom's to get my Penguins stuff. I left it there cause I couldn't take it here,"

"I'm coming over and bring a jersey for you. be there in a few,"

Dang it! She will dress me like, a super fan which I'm not. I wanna wear my Jackets jersey, they are my team well ever since Mario retired.

I throw my phone on the couch as I grab my pop-tarts and open the box to reveal sliver packets.
Taking one out I begin to eat it as I head into the living room to turn on the TV.

"Well tonight Crosby and his Penguins take on the Blue Jackets of Rick Nash, who has the greater chance, Bob?" a lady says.

"Well it's a 50/50 chance for either team. They are both well but our Pens will win the game 5 to 3,"

"Thanks, and that game is on tonight 7:30 on FSN Pittsburgh. Ok in other news...,"

I change the channels until I come to the weather channel.
It was on the radar as I see rain moving in, which stinks.

Just as I change it, my door rang.

"It's me girl. Open up,"Yvette says.

"Hold on, let set mytart down," I says as I do, head to the door and open it to see Yvette standing there with a bag.

"I got your uniform for tonight,"she says.

"Will I like it?'I asked.

"Maybe, oh can I have one?"

"go ahead," I say as i plop on my house as she does the same.

"Weather? Man you should be on FSN Pittsburgh,"

"I was already there and on channel 4 news. They were comparing Penguins to the Jackets.

"forget the Jackets. they are our enemy tonight,"

"Ok, I'll try my hardest to root for the pens, like before,'

"Ok, anyways how did you get into the jackets?"

"You know, my ex, Ryan did,"

"Oh is that why you broke up?"

'No, I did because he's a cheater,"

"Oh ok, so about 4:30 we heave to get ready and be out of here by 5:15 the lastest.,'

"Pittsburgh is only 15 minutes from here, Vette,"

"Traffic,"

"Oh right, so what jersey am i wearing?"

Yvette got up and came back with her bag.
Sitting beside me, she began taking out clothes.

"This is my outfit,"

she shows me a malkin jersey,jeans, and yellow flip flops.

"And mine,"

she pulls out a 87 jersey,blue jeans and black flip flops.

"Whos 87?"

"It's Sidney's number. You need to learn the numbers of the team,girl. Where is your computer? we are going to study so you know the team before the game,"

"It's right there,"

I point to the side.

"Let's do some studing and get that Jacket crap out of your head,"

I follow her over to the computer.

Several hours later, I blink a little.


"Ok final test name who is 71, 29, 87, 55, and 12," Yvette says.

"Malkin, fleury, Crosby, Gonchar, and Malone," I say

"Who's 17, 19, 11, and 48?"

"Sykora, Whitney, Staal, and Kennedy,"

"See a few hours and you know alot, oh crap we been on it so long that it's 4:15. Let's go ahead and get dressed and get outta here early,"

"Ok,"

Getting up from the computer, I grab the clothes that she brought me and head into my room.
It's going to be weird to where a jeresy of Sidney instead of Mario.

After a few minutes, i emege from my bedroom, changed.

"That looks nice, now let me do yor hair," Yvette says.

"Don't make it look weird, I swear Vette," I say as I sit on the floor as she does my hair.

"Ok it's done,"

After she said that, I walk back to my bathroom to check it out.

"Wow where did you learn thatat?" i ask.

"from Micheals girlfriend," Yvette says.

"I need to learn that,"

"Yeah, she cna teach you,"

After doing hair and make up I was ready to go.

"Are we going to eat there?" I ask.

"No before we head out we'll head to a McDonald's," Yvette says as she walks out, looking like a BIG fan. I was just a normal fan, nothing more.

"Ok we ready?" Yvette asks.

"I am," i say.

"let's head on out. Oh wanna take your car or my SUV?" Yvette asks.

"The car might be better," i says.

"Grab the keys,"

I satch my keys up as I follow Yvette out of the house as I lock and close the door.

"Pittsburgh here we come," Yvette says.

I'm really nervous about driving there cause I dont normally drive.

"No we're eating before hand," I say as i open my car door.

'Well that then the Burgh,"

I get into my car and begin it up.
"You ok?" Yvette asks.

"Yeah,"

I look both ways as I back out and head out onto the main road.

"what do you want when we get there?" I ask as i look that it was 5.

"just a hamburger with fries and a sweet tea,large," Yvette says.

"alright," I says as I turn in.

I get in the line, order, then head off to Pittsburgh.
It's going to be fine there.

As I got closer to Pittsburght, I see the tall buildings.

"When was the last time you been here?" Yvette asks.

"with my brother to PNC Park, which isn't inside of Pittsburght but, it is," i say.

'when has karl ever been a fan of baseball?"

"He went cause his date LOVES the Pirates, so yeah,"

"Ah got yeah,"

When I turn off onto the road, I clearly see Mellon Arena and LOTS of cars.

"Man where and I going to park at?" I ask.

"Still room in the normal parking lot, Aalyah," Yvette says as I turn into the parking lot.

Driving to the end, i park in the last parking spot of the lot.
"We're lucky we got this, Aalyah, normally I have to park in the garage across the street and we got here about quarter til 6. Now we have to eat," Yvette says.

"Yeah, i'm straving," I say as i pull out my salad from the bag and begin eating it.

15 minutes later, I place my salad into the bag and look at Vette.


"You done?" i ask.

"Yeah, you ready to head up?" Vette asks.

"Yep," I say as I open my door and got out of the car.

As I did, I place my keys in my pocket as me and Vette walk up the parking lot, and then up the stairs into the building.

I see lots od people as we stood behide a line to get in.

"Man, a different feeling in here to me," I say.

"cause your player doesn't play maybe. You never know, he maybe here up in his box," Vette says.

'I hope he is, that'll be awesome," i say as we move up into the line.

As the line moves, we moved and then after awhile we got there.
"Tickets please, ladies," a man says.

I watch as Vette pulls them from her pocket as the man scans them.
"Have fun," he says as we pass by.

"Wanna get anything?" vette asks.

"No, mayeb during intermission maybe," I say.

"Let's head down to our seats," I say.

We walk and head down to our seats.

"We are actually behide them?" i ask.

"Yep, we have an good 15 before they hit the ice,' Vette says.

"At 6:45?"

"yeah, they head out early for the skate, then about 7:15 they will go back in to talk, then they'll come out again for the game," Vette says.

"Oh ok,"

I look around the ice for a few minutes then i see a team come out.

"OMG ,here they come," A lady says as me and Vette stands up to see the Penguins come out.

I clap my hands as a few of them skate right pass us.
"There is sidney,' Vette says as she points to him skating pass center ice to Fleury.

It is excting to see him, but not like a crazy fan would be.
I just keep my eye on him and watching what he does, so tomorrow i can do some of the same moves.
