The next day starts with Adam doing early hour training. And without him or our parents knowing, i sneak out of the house and to the rink. It was only a few hours till the finals and I'm very anxious for it. My parents are gonna be there, Adam is gonna be there, Coach Reilly is gonna be there and also im gonna be up against the scummiest team of the season, the Hawks.

Sneaking into the back of the changing rooms, i dump my kit bag on the bench with the rest of my belongings. Sighing, i sit down next to my things and look at the ground.

A few hours pass and i ended up falling asleep. I get woken up by a door opening and closing. "Y/N?" I hear a familiar voice say. I look up to see...

Charlie.

"Oh hey Charlie" i mutter, wiping my eyes. "What are you doing here?" He asks, tilting his head to the side slightly. "Just came a bit early" i say, fake chuckling. "Oh, right" He says, placing his bag on the bench.

I take my water bottle out of my bag and drink from it. The door opens again and Coach and the rest of the team walk in. "Hey Connie!" I say as she races over to me and hugs me. "Jeez you only saw her yesterday" Fulton says. "Still!" She exclaims while letting go of me.

"Hey Team! Ready to win this?" Coach expresses happily. "YEAH!" We all chant in reply. "Okay Ducks, lets get ready" Bombay states. "Come on Girlies!" Tammy taunts while grabbing Connie and i's arms and dragging us to the 'girl changing rooms'.

"Lets get ready" I say to the girls as i open my bag and get changed into my equipment.

"Im nervous for todays game" Connie explains. "You are? How do you think i feel?" I whisper to myself quietly. "Huh?"

"Oh nothing, just talking to myself" i stammer, they both nod.

We was all ready for the game. "Okay! Lets go warm up Ducks" Bombay proceeds. We all begin walking out of the changing rooms and onto the ice. 'Please don't notice me' i say in my head vigorously as i look down at the ice beneath me as i skate over it. "Hey keep your head up" Fulton affirms as he wacks his stick on my helmet. "Ill try..." i mutter as Fulton passes the puck to me and i pass it back. I didn't want anyone to see my jersey, as soon as they saw it, they would know its me.

Then i realised. They announce all of our names at the beginning of the game when the national anthem gets played.

_

We all line up in a line and take our helmets off for the minuet of silence. The music begins playing and i look down, hoping Adam hasn't
noticed me yet. The spectators arise to their feet as they stay silent.

_

It was time for everyones names. The announcer, announces the Hawks names and numbers first. All that caught my mind was 'Number 9 Adam Banks'.

It was time for our names. And it began. My heart was racing, pounding in my chest as the shaking in my hands got worse when the announcer was getting closer to my name. 'Number 29, Y/N Banks...'

I see Adam look at me in shock as i skate forward to let everyone who i am. I look up into the stands as i see my parents look at me in disbelief. I shake my head sorrowfully as the game begins.

Lets do this....
