Will it be you?- Chapter 5

As I drove home, I was thinking about Sidney the whole time.

"you ok?"vette asks.

"Yeah," I say as I turn to the right.

"So did you have fun?"Vette asks.

"Yes, thanks for taking me. i got to meet Rick Nash," I say,smiling.
Vette then hits my shoulder.

"Hey, what was that for?"

"It wasn't the point of Nash, it was for Sidney,"

"What for? He's just a guy,"

"Just a guy? He's a VERY popular hockey player and he is the man that lots of women want,"Vette says.

"So, that doesn't mean anything to me. To me he's just a guy that plays hockey. That's it. That's what I thought of Mario too but I liked him like I wanted to marry him when I was grown up, until I found he was married,"
Vette smiles.

"Shut up,Jagr lover,"

As I approach my drive to my apartment complex, Vette hits me.

"Hey, you smiled, you got what you got,"I say as I pull into my parking space.

"You just mean,"Vette says as I turn off the car and got out.

"Well I'm going to head home and call courtney. I'll be back tomorrow for the clothes,unless you want them. doesn't matter to me,"Vette says as she opens her door.

"Ok, night Vette,"I says.

"Night girl,"

I turn,head to my apartment and unlocked the door as I walk through the door into the apartment.
I take out my keys and phone and set them on the table as I head back to get changed into PJ's.
After changing, I hear a ringing.
Walking up front I see that I have a message on my phone.

As I open it, it was a text from Sidney.
"Sorry to text you so late, your probably sleeping. Well i just wanted to see if you was doing anything 2morrow. Just text me back whenever. Night Sid."

I immedecately hit reply and text" I'm praitcing at southpointe 2morrow at 9 to 12 and then heading into my college courses at CCAC from 1:30 to about 4:30. y?"

Hitting send, I go back to my room, phone in hand as I turn on the radio.

As I was moving my covers down, my cell began to ring.
Opening it up a text came up, again from Sidney.

"Oh ok, a busy day for ya,"Sid replys

"Yeah, but I normally do that everyday, well since i began hockey as a hobby,"I reply

"Hockey is fun, Well after your schooling maybe we can get some dinner?"

"Are you asking me out?"

"Yes, i just didn't want to ask you, so I used it in a different way,"

"Sure, I'll like to go on a date with you sidney,"

"Ok, where you you live at?"

"What for?"

"I'm going to pick you up. It's the right thing to do,"

"I live in the apartment builds called Windstream in Sewickley Heights,"

"Ok thats less then 5 minutes from where i live at,"

"lol,"

"Well I'll let you get to bed. See you tomorrow Aalyah,"

"night Sidney,"

"Night,"

Closing my phone up, I set it on the nightstand as I get into bed.

The next morning I open my eyes to the brightness of the sunshine.
Thats one disavange to having me bedroom on the east side.

Climbing out of bed, I head out into the kicthen as I see the time was 8:45.
Shaking my head, i grab a pop-tart and head back into my room to get changed into my hockey uniform.
Looking at the jersey from last night, I grab it and change into that and my long black pants. I was offiicially a fan of sidney.
I then put on my shoes, grab my hockey bag and my pop-tart as I walk out of my house and to my car.

Opening the backdoor, I place my bag back there as I get into the driver seat.
Beginning the car up, I back up and head out turning onto the main road to Southpointe.

About 15 minutes I pull into the almost empty parking lot and park beside a sliver range rover, i think thats what it is.

Getting out of my black car, I grab my bag and head into the southpointe rink.

"Morning Leah," Mark, the manger says.

"Good morning, is anyone on the back rink to the right?"I ask.

"yeah there is but you can go back there.I'm sure he won't mind you. Why are in a Crosby jersey? You normally wear a sweater or something,"Mark says.

"My friend gave it to me, so I'm wearing it ok. See you in a few hours,"

"Ok, have fun. oh here,"Mark says as he hands me 2 sticks.

"Thanks, i got the pucks so no thank you,"

"Go play,"

I smile as I head back to the rink and see a guy on the rink.
As I got closer, I could tell that he head on a penguins jersey, but different then mine. It was blue. Shaking my head I sit on the bench and as i finish changing he came over.

"Hey,"
I knew that voice.

Looking up I see Sidney standing there.
"What are you doing here?" I ask as i put my bag under the bench and get up.

Sidney opens the door.
"Praitcing like you are,"

I hop onto the ice.
"Crap, I frogot my stick on the bench," I say as I turn around and sidney has one of them in his hand.

"Here,"

"thanks," I say as i take it.

"So you ready to pratice. I'm going to just help you be better,"

"Ok, you can help me but dont yell at me when i'm playing cause I will yell at you too. i don't liked to be bossed around,"

"Ok, show me what you got,"

I smile as i stole the puck he head and skated with it.
I then shot it as hard as I can and it went in.

"Yeah baby,"I say.

"Let's see if you can get it passed me,"Sidney says as he skates to the net and he moved the puck back to me.

"Ready?"I ask.

"Go ahead,"Sidney says.

I took the puck around the other net as I gain speed, I then pulled my stick back as I fake and shot it in goal on Sidney's rightside.

"Yeah!!! I scored on you,"I say, smiling.

"Dang, I need to call Marc in here,"Sidney says as he steps outta net.

"Yeah,"

For the next 2 hours, I just skated around the ice and praticed on my hockey.
As I began to get tired, I skate over to the bench to rest.

"You ok?"sidney asks as he comes in and sat beside me.

"Yeah, I'm ok. Just need to rest,"I say.

"Ok, so you been a hockey fan your whole life or no?"

"I've been a hockey fan since i was about 7 years or something like that. I mainly grew up with wrestling. My parents watched it and I got hooked. Thats the same way with hockey but got into it when I was 6 or 7. I love hockey,"

"So do I, so i never asked you how old are you?"

"I am 19, I was born July 17, 1988. What about you?"

"I am 20, I was born on August 7, 1987,"

"So I'm almost a year younger then you,"

"Yeah, thats true. So what are your parents names?"

"Philip and Marget Thomason. My dad died in 2002 due to a car accident. It was hard to move on from him.

"Aww I'm sorry to hear about that,"

"thanks, but what about you?"

"Troy and Trina Crosby. do you have any siblings?"

"No, I'm an only child. you?"

"I have a sister, Taylor who is 9 years younger then me. i love her,"

"I never had that feeling,"

"It's a great one,"sidney says as a phone rings.

"Thats mine,"Sidney says as he reaches into his bag and pulls out a black phone.

"Hello, hey Ryan. Oh did we really? Pat never told me anything about and appearence this afternoon, ok where? at Dicks in Mornoeville at 3 right? ok I'll be there. bye,"

He hangs up.
"I got an appearence at 3 in Monoreville. I can'te believe Pat didn't tell me about this. Pat is my agent and he normally calls me about these things,"Sidney says.

"Ah ok,"I say as I see that it was 12:30.

"dang, I gotta get going," I say as i change from my skate back into my tennis shoes.

"Ok, I'll see you later on,"Sidney says.

"Ok.Bye Sidney and thanks for praticing with me," i say as I get my bag on my shoulder with sticks in hands.

"No problam,"

I head back to the front and place the sticks down.

"Bye Mark," I say.

"See you tomorrow Leah,"Mark says as i head out of the rink and to my car.

As I got into my car, I head out of Southpointee and head home to change clothes.
As I turn onto the main road, my cell began to ring.
At a stop light, I open my phone up and place it on my handsfree set and on speaker.

"Hello," I say as I hit the gas.

"Hey Aalyah, its Yvette. hows your day been?"Vette asks.

"Been going ok," i say.

"My day has been boring, of course I've been in classes this morning. So what ya doing now?"

"On my way home to change then off to class for 3 hours,"

"Sounds fun. I cant wait for tomorrow,"

"You and Malkin,"

"aleast i get on a date with him,"

"Well I gotta date with Sidney tonight,"

"What!!!! and you didn't tell me,"

"I didn't want you to spread it around and you won't!!! Yvette I'm serious,"

"I know. your voice changed, so will you atleast tell me about it,"

"I might,"

"Well if you dont, I'm not telling you about mine,"

"Oh please Vette, well I pulled up at home, so I'll talk at you later,"

"Ok, pleas call me,"

"Bye Yvette,"

I hang up on her as I grab my phone off and get out of my car.
I reach in and grab my bag as I head into the walkway of my building.


Placing my keys in, i open the door.
Walking in, I place my bag down and head into my room to change.
I change from my new jersey and black sweats into a pair of blue jeans, a pink shirt and my white crocs.

I then place my hair into a ponytail and head back out into the kicthen area to grab my cell phone and keys as I head out of my apartment to my car.
Getting back into my car, i begin it up and head back onto the road to CCAC, which was about 20 minutes away from my house.


After arriving on campus, i head into class for 3 and half hours.
Getting up from my chair, i head outside to the campus as my phone began to ring.
I open it up to a text from Vette

"hey, how was the class today? I'm bored outta my mind begin here are at home."
i hit reply as I across a street into the parking lot.

"Class was very intersting today. We got to work with the kids of the teachers. I was the best one with the kids, thats what my teacher said. Why are you bored? Isn't Micheal or Abby around?"

"Nice, and no Mike and Abby are at work until 5.I have nothing to,"

"Get prepared for your date tomorrow,"

*Slaps you*

"Hey I was just saying that.Well I'm on my way home to chill around until Sidney calls me to see what time he is picking me up,"

I get into my car and begin it.
"Your lucky.,"

"No i'm not, I told you before, he is just a normal GUY!!!!"

"Whatever, well go ahead home and i'll call you later tonight,"

I pull out of the car and head home to chill out.
