Warnings and Text Serenades;;Ella;20

sorry these have all been in Ellas view lately. The next chaps are gonna be switching on and off from Ella, Brent, Jon, Kris, Christina, Stpehanie, Pat Kane, and Nik.

It's friday afternoon. I'm on a skype call with Christina, who is packing to come home for the weekend to see home opener. I'm multitasking typing a paper from my fashion class and talking to her while shes running all over her appartment. She's going on and on about how Brent and Ally want to go clubbing after the game. I hate clubbing. I suggest we go to a hookah bar, but Ally hates the smell. "I mean Ella, I'm sure clubbing won't be that bad. If worse comes to worst, you and Kris can just leave."

"My boyfriends a party animal, remember?" I laugh.

"I'm sure you'll have fun."

"I hate large groups of people packed in one place. Those freak me out but I'll think about it."

"Oh, did you're mom call you?"

"About the party for Olympia's birthday? Yeah, Kris and I are going."

"You're going to introduce him to everyone?" She asked me.

"Last I checked, my parents didn't care who I dated."

"Well..I'm starting to tell the truth about Nik to my mom."

"Oh God here we go," I Joke.

"I told her I've been seeing someone for three months and that his name is Nik."

"Did she ask if he was Greek."

"Nope."

"Alright, who's ready for the blow up at casa di Demitris next Friday?" I joke.

"This really isn't funny Antonella, my mother could break up the relationship."

"No, if she found out she'd flip a shit then make you break up with him."

"Well I'm gonna head over to your place. See you in a couple hours."

"Becareful."

"Will do."

She hangs up and I go back to my paper. I look over to my nightstand to find a picture of Kris and I that week took at Milenium Park. My skype goes off. I look in hopes of it being Kris. It's not. It's Jon. I answer the call and my camera turns on. Jon looks extremely hot right now.

Shit I should not be thinking like this.

"Hey, hows the girlfriend?" I ask.

"What girlfriend?"

"Way to not tell me you're seeing someone."

"Oh her...we're not seeing eachother anymore."

"That was quick."

"It's just not gonna happen."

"Alright," I smile.

"You really should becareful with you're boyfriend."

"I'm a big girl but okay," I joke.

Jons shaking his head at my comment.Either he's being completely serious or he's being a jealous bitch. I look over to the picture of me and Kris and smile. He catches me looking at it. "You really like him don't you?" He asks me. I look back at him and smile. He clearly should know the answer to this. I nodd my head as he sighs. He's crushed. I crushed him. For some odd reason, I'm not feeling any guilt. It's not that I hate him, we're just friends, I wish he can see that. Finally he opens his mouth and says:

"If you only knew how he is..."

"What?"

"If you only knew how I feel.."

"What?"

"Nevermind, I got to go, I'll see you tomorrow."

With that, I shut the laptop off and tell Kris I'm taking a nap. I get under the covers as a knock comes on the door. Ally walks in and sits on my bed with Stephanie sitting on the bench/dresser I have across my be. I look at them. "When's Christina coming?" Ally asks.

"Is this what you came in to ask? I was going to take a nap."

"Not really, but we're just worried for you," Stephanie tells me.

"Why?"

"Brent is too. He says Kris can be quite the party animal when he's trashed," Ally tells me.

"Yeah, and I thought Pat was bad."

"Guys, I know you're worried but I'll be okay."

"He also said Jons been a hot mess lately," Ally tells me.

"Honestly, I think you're making a mistake for being with Kris and not Jon."

"Guys, I appreciate that you're worried and I love you for it, but I'm gonna learn by myself. I talked to Jon, he's fine."

"Alright, if you wanna talk, we're here..." Ally smiles as they leave.

I lay in my bed and look at the ceiling and walls. I know I'm not making a mistake. Then I think about what Jon, Ally, and Stephanie just informed me with. Jon was trying to tell me something but I didn't know what it was. I finally close my eyes. I knew I wasn't making a mistake. I knew it.

My phone goes off. I grab it and it's Jon. I click the envelope and open the text message. I read it and sigh. I don't respond to it. I put the phone back and close my eyes, thinking of the text message. I wish he knew that we were just friends, and that I was happy with Kris, even if he were such a party animal. I finally fall alseep with a smile, but the text message is going through my mind, those words keep showing up over and over:

i never leave the light on much now, i got a feeling that maybe it's time for sleep. I got the cellular phone, whispering i'm alone...

To Hockey Season, Drama, Romance, and Lots of Drinking;;Ella;;19

The boys finally come home a week in a half later to find that their season opener is against Detroit in Detroit. It's a Thrusday game so Ally, Steph, Christina, and I are stuck in school while the boys go to Detroit. My relationship with Kris is going extremely well. We've been dating for almost a month and I couldn't ask for anyone better. He has yet to meet my family but we're getting to that step. My friendship with Jon is stronger than it was a month in a half ago.

I'm at work right now. Stephanie has the night off and my car is still dunzo, so Ally said she'd be nice and come get me so we can do dinner to watch the game. Her relationship with Brent is quite comical. They are like this cute old married couple who fight one minute and then the next there all "awe baby its okay!" Its kind of cute.

I'm working with Bridgid tonight. She's complaining about how her love life sucks and Jon won't talk to her. Jon told me to do what ever it takes to get her ass fired. "I'm not that mean," I remember telling Jon over coffee a few days ago as he laughs.

"I don't care, just get rid of her. She's obnoxious."

We're setting up a display right now for the new winter line that came in. She's going on and on about this guy she met who ironically is named Kris. She doesn't give much infomation about him but I don't really worry about it, because this guy she's telling me about doesn't add up to my boyfriend. I look up and see Ally walking by, meaning I have to get ready to clock out. "Hey Bridgid, can you finish this, my shift is up?"

"Oh no prob---who is she?" Bridgid snaps, looking at Ally up and down.

"My best friend Ally. She's Seabs girlfriend."

"Oh...I didn't know Seabs liked chunkers."

"Psst...I didn't know Jon had a thing for anorexia slaves," Ally snaps back.

"Okay, I'm leaving now, Ally lets go."

"I ain't finished with this bitch yet," Ally snapped.

Great, here we go. Once someone gets Ally going, theres no stopping her from whats next. She has Jons personality, she doesn't think before she talks, which is why she is my best friend. I stand there, hoping Kait doesn't come out and fire my ass. Bridgid puts a pair of pants down and places her hands on her hips. "Okay honey, you're done. You can get you're royal russian ass out of here," she snaps at Ally.

And that's when my best friend was about to lose it.

"Oh, you bet I'm fucken royalty slut bag. At least I'm not a whore."

"Psst, you don't even no me shitlicker."

"Shitlicker? Honey, get new combacks. Oh and you're jeans...so two years ago. Oh and the anorexia clinic called, they need you back for more theropy."

"Honey, if anyone needs to go a clinic its you."

"Yeah ohkay you dumb alcoholic bitch."

"WHAT IS GOING ON!?"

I turn my head and see Kait standing there. She then motions for me to come over there. I give Ally a glare as she's bickering with Bridgid. There was no stopping Ally at this point. I don't even look at Kait, because I'm nervous that my ass might as well be fired, then Kris may think I were a screw up.

But Jonny wouldn't.

Wait, why the hell am I thinking of Jonny at a time like this?

"I can explain--"

"Explain why my employee and a customer are bickering at eachother?"

"Sorry. It's my friend Ally. Her and Bridgid don't get along--"

"Is this how you want to represent Nordstrom?"

"No."

"I'm considering you for a promition and you don't stop a big argument that could lead into a fist fight? Do you want a job here?"

"Yes Kait."

"Then fix this argument and I'll see you Sunday!"

"Yes Kait."

I walk back to the two and drag Ally away after clocking out. We walk to her car and neither one of us say anything. I was considered for a promotion and my best friend decided she wanted to open her big mouth. "Thanks for almost getting me fired," I finally say.

"Sorry."

"It's fine, even though I was considered for a promotion."

"Like we knew."

"True. It's all good, I'm glad you bitched that bitch out."

We get to Fitzs pub in Elk Grove and we sit at the bar. We both order guiniesses and stare at the TV. We then talk about class as they interview Jon. My eyes go to the TV and a smile forms to my face. Why was this fucken happening to me at a time like this? Ally finally hit me. "Idiot, what do you want to eat!? The waitress has been standing here for ten minutes!"

"Oh sorry. I'll have a cheeseburger with grilled onions and onion rings please."

She walks away as I take a sip of my beer. What the hell was my problem lately? It's like all I've been thinking about was Jon. Ally tapped my shoulder. "Jons been seeing this girl for the past two weeks," she tells me. This is news to me. Jon would've told me. I shrug, I have Kris, why should I care about who Jon sees.

Because you do care idiot

No, I didn't care. I had by far the prince charming I've been waiting for. Sure, he wasn't no Clark Kent/Superman, but he was perfect in some odd way. I take another sip of my beer I look at Ally. "To this season of hockey, may it involve drama, romance, and lots of drinking," I smile as we cling our glasses together.

"Cheers."

Airplanes;;Ella;;18

Two weeks have gone by and the boys are ready to leave for Zurich. Kris and I have been seeing each other those two weeks and so far, things have gone nice. He knew how to have fun and treated me like a princess. Like, if I tried to pick up the bill or buy ice cream or a movie ticket, he'd flip a shit at me.

"Ella, my duties as a boyfriend are to treat you like a princess. You are a princess. So put your damn wallet away."

"I feel very bad that I'm just feeding off you're money Kris."

"Ella, shut up. You're my girlfriend, don't feel bad. I'll let you pick the bill up every now and then, like when my ass comes home, but really, let me pick up the fucken bill."

Oh my boyfriend is a crack up.

It's two in the morning and we're on the runway of O'hare sending the boys off. It's Christina, Stephanie, Ally, and I along with some of the wives and girlfriends. Some are going with, but the four of us are staying behind because of school. I'm standing with Kris, but at the same time, trying to find Jon so I can try to mend peace with him. "Ella I'll be back in about a week in a half," Kris tells me as I look at him. "I'll phone you as soon as I can."

"Please do, I don't want to be up worrying."

"Yeah I know, only because I like you alot."

"I'll see you when I get back."

With that we share a long hug and quick kiss and he's off on the plane. I begin to walk away, begining to feel tired as I spot Jon. I run over to him quickly, but he's trying to catch the plane. "Jon!" I'm yelling after him. "Jon wait!" I finally got his attention and he turned around, wearing swets and a Hawks hoodie. He walks back over to me, trying to force a smile on his face.

"Hi," is all he says.

"Can we talk?"

"We gotta make it quick."

"I'm sorry...about everything."

"Me too," he sighs. "It's just..."

"What?"

"Forget it. You have Kris now."

"We're friends, remember?"

"I just hope your not making a mistake."

"I'm not."

"We're still friends, that's what I want," he smiles.

"Tazer, lets go!" Sharp yells at him.

"I'll call you when I get there," he says.

He brings me to a quick hug and I watch him run off. I watch the plane move and go down the runway and out of my sight. I cross my arms across my chest. A week in a half without my boyfriend and my friend who both hate eachother at the moment. It's two thrity in the morning and cold. Ally squeezes my shoulders. "It'll go quick," she smirks.

"I know. Do you think I'm making the wrong choice?"

"Not at all," she smiles. "Kris is fun, Jon's to serious for you anyways."

"Yeah...c'mon I'm tired."

"Psh, you won't even end up in class later."

I wake up around 11 with no phone call from Kris or Jon. They were probably still on the plane. I walk into the kitchen to find Christina, Ally, and Stephanie sitting at the counter. I sat on the other chair. Ally and Seabs were dating now, so all of us had hawks boyfriends. I look at the three. "We haven't heard from them," Christina sighs.

"Kay, then I'm not going crazy."

"Guys, who wants Burger King?" Ally asks.

"This is NOT the time to be worrying about food," Stephanie glares at her.

"What the flying hell are we supposed to do for a week in a half?" Christina asks. "I mean, I'm on a week break from school for some odd reason. You three have school. What the hell is this?"

"Wanna go to a club?"

"No. I hate clubs," I snap.

"Kris loves clubs, Jon hates clubs. You should be dating Jon," Stephanie says.

"Hell no," I snap.

"Are you happy?"

"Yes, Kris treates me like a fucken princess," I smile.

All our phones go off. We race for them. I dart to my room to See Kris is calling me. I imedietly pick up the phone after hearing "Hey babe sing along" go off from my Motorola Droid. I put the phone to my ear. "Hey did you land?" I ask him.

"Yes, I'm in my hotel room as we speak."

"What time is it their?"

"Five at night. 11 by you?"

"Yep."

"Ella, did you go to class?"

"No."

"Ella, don't make me come over there and drag you to your classes."

"I was tired."

"I know I know. Hey, were going to get dinner, I'll call you tonight."

"Kay, bye love."

"Bye El."

Kris and I hang up and the phone goes off again. This time Jon reads on the caller id. I pick up the phone after "Hey Babe" goes off as the ringtone. I put the phone to my ear. "Jon," I say into the speaker.

"Hey Ell."

"Hey, where are you?"

"My hotel room, I got sick on the plane."

"Good job."

"Can't help it. Did you go to class?"

"No."

"Nice El. Hey, I'm going to take a nap while the team goes to dinner. We'll chat tonight."

"Kay, feel better."

"Thanks, go to class."

"Bye."

We hang up and I go back into the kitchen. I sit back down and there all looking at me like I'm nuts. I get up and go back to sleep. I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm happy...that's all that counts.

and that's all I need to keep telling myself...

Locker Room Fist Fights and Swearing Brawls;;Jon;;17

It's Saturday, September 19. It's our first preseason game at home against Washington. I'm in the locker room right now avoiding Kris at all costs. I walk in to find girlfriends and wives in their. Christinas with Nik while Ally is with Brent and Stephanie is with Kane. There is no sign of Ella what so ever. I throw my shirt off as I see Kris from the corner of my eye stand by my cubbie. I roll my eyes. "Buddy, can we talk?"

"Don't buddy me."

"I didn't mean for that to happen, really."

"You knew I had it bad for her. You've known that all my life I've had it for her. You could've said no to the dare."

"I'm sorry, really."

"If you were sorry, oh if you were sorry."

I turn around and see Ella walk in. She smiles at Kris, who walks over to here. It's been a week since the incident and from what I've over heard Kris tell Kanner, they've been texting and hung out once. He also told Kanner he really does like her but doesn't know what to do because of me. Kanner told him he didn't want to get involved. Kris hugs her for a while. My anger is just getting boiled.

He knew I had it for her.

"You know what, if you were sorry," I begin, not thinking before I talk. "You wouldn't be texting her nonstop. You'd apologize to me after I told you to not talk to me."

"I did apologize, you were just angry. And I can text who ever the fuck I want."

"If you were sorry Kris..."

And as the words start to roll off my lips, I knew I was going to regret not thinking before I talk.

"If you were really sorry, you'd ask if it were okay with me to hang out with her."

"You're not my fucken mother bitch. I don't need your premission."

"Atleast I'm not a girl stealing puck chasing man whore."

"What did you just call me?"

"Oh you heard correctly."

At that moment, everyone in the locker room stops what their doing and looks at Ella, Kris, and I. Ella is staying quiet, because she has nothing to say to me at the moment. Kris lets out a giggle, because he clearly finds this oh so hilarious. He cracks a devious smile at me, then cocks his head to the side. He begins walking toward me. "A girl stealing, puck chasing man whore, eh? Is that the best you got, ass fucker?"

"Guys, c'mon," Brent yells at us.

"Brent, I'm kind of busy at the moment," Steeger tells him.

"This really isn't nessecary," Burish tells them, whos sitting on the bench because he isn't playing.

"Oh trust me Bur, this is," I snap.

"You know what you're problem is Jon?" Kris asks me.

"What, that I don't think before I talk? Trust me douchelord, I've heard that before."

"You're a jealous, whinney, inconsiderete, selffish bitch. You're upset that I like the same girl as you, but I made the first move."

"Playing truth or dare doesn't consider making the first move."

"Just quit while you're ahead...or, even better, take your truck on a roadtrip again, this time, go home and cry to mommy and daddy cry baby....that's after you play hockey like a girl."

"If I played hockey like a girl, I wouldn't have the "C" on my chest assfuck."

"Okay cunt."

"I'm a cunt? Last time I checked, I had a penis and you had a vagina!"

"OKAY THATS IT!"

I move out of the way and avoid the swing from Kris. He gets at me though and were now throwing punches as I throw him to the ground. I jump on top of him and I'm punching him. "How does it feel, huh!? How does it feel to know you stole my dream bitch!?" I yell as he pushes me and is on top of me now. We hear the voices of everyone yelling at us to stop but we keep going. I want him dead because in my eyes, he is a dead man.

"Okay guys stop!"

Ella yells, pulling Kris off of me. I I get up and wipe the blood off my lip. Kris has a black and blue chin and a bloody nose. Ella slaps me across the face. "You need serious help if you think beating the shit out of someone is going to make the situation better. I asked you not to take your anger out on him and what do you do? You go on a rampage!"

"He's no better."

"He didn't deserve that. You're acting like a five year old. And you tell me I hold grudges. What is this guys, you want me to chose between the two of you right now because I'm willing to do that."

"Excuse me?" Jonny asked me.

"It's a risk I'm willing to take," Ella yells.

"Ella, you're causing a scene, stop," I tell her.

She then pushes me against the wall. Her adrenleine rush is making her stronger than me and I can see the look of fear and anger in her eyes. She's breathing in and out heavily as her rush goes down. "If you think I'm causing a scene, think again because you clearly caused one the moment I walked in."

"Fine, if choosing between Kris and I is a risk you're willing to take, do it then."

"Now?"

"Now."

"Fine, I'll chose. Kris, wanna get dinner tonight and talk?"

"I'd love to," Kris says, while giving me the devious smile again.

"What the flying hell is going on?"

Coach Quenville comes out after hearing the commotion betwen Ella, myself, and Kris No one says anything. He shakes his head. "Girls, you're gonna have to leave. Steeger and Tazer, my office now!" The girls leave as Steeger walks for Quenville's office. I look at Ella who shakes her head at me. "Right now, I really don't want to speak to you," she tells me and then leaves. I walk into Quenville's office and sit down, not looking at anyone. He shakes his head and clears his thoart. He clearly heard the commotion. "This is not what I expected from the two of you," he begins.

"I can explain," I begin.

"Tazer, zip it," he begins as I sigh. He shakes his head. "I don't know why you two find it nessescary to fight over a girl at your age, but really, don't do it here if you're going to have a brawl over it. Tazer, act like a man and take things matturally, and think before you talk. Steeger, control your anger. Now leave, I'm not dealing with this again."

I walk back into the locker room and its dead quiet. I walk to my cubbie and begin to gear up. Kanner takes a seat next to my cubbie. I don't even look at him. I'm pissed to the extreme. "You're face looks like you got knifed," he says, trying to break the silence. I give him the look of death as he throws his hands up. "Hey, I'm just throwing it out there."

"I could've killed him," I sneer.

"Let it go. You'll find someone new."

"I will kill him."

"This is just pure anger now."

"SUIT UP! WARM UPS IN FIVE!"

I finish getting dressed and I walk out onto the ice to find Ally, Christina, Stephanie, and Ella in the front row behind the glass. I look at Ella for two seconds, but she doesn't look at me. If that's the way she wants it, then fine, she can have it her way.

Two could play the game.

Late Night Phone Calls and Apologies in Text Msgs;;Jon;;16

"Jon, wait!"

I hear Ella calling as I'm walking down the hallway. I hear her running as she grabs my hand. I turn to look at her and all the rage inside me is about to come out. I'm just about ready to punch a hole in the wall but I don't. "What the hell was that all about! Did you have a secret crush on him or something!?" I yell out of pure anger.

"Jon, I just met him. I didn't--"

"Oh, if you think one person on our team is goodlooking, I know it was him."

"You don't know shit."

"Ella, I saw the way you two were looking at each other."

"Now you're being rediculous."

"Why don't you just admit it, Ella, you find him attractive. Just admit it."

At this point, she's pulling her brown/blonde hair back into a rubber band. I run my hand through my hair as she begins to inhale and exhale. "Jon, I don't know, he walked in..and I...I didn't think all of that would happen. I thought we were just going to play truth or dare," she tells me as I shake my head.

"You know what's funny, I think you liked that kiss. You should own up to that too. Did you?"

"Honestly..."

"I knew it."

"We're friends, remember!"

"Ella...forget it."

"Hey guys..."

I look up to see Kris walking toward us. Ella was probably in a mad rush that she forgot to close the door and everyone probably heard our screaming fit from inside. I give Kris the death glare. At this point, I hate hime with a firey passion. "Stay the fuck away from me Kris."

"Jon, I'm sorry."

"I don't even want to look at you, you dipshit."

"Jon, can we talk?"

"Just stay the fuck away from me. I hope your happy Ella."

I leave and drive home after the outburst we all just have...well technically mine and Ellas outburst. I walk into my room of my condo and throw my cell phone on the bed. I leave the bedroom and walk out to the window in my living room over looking the city. I run my hand through my hair. Nik was right. She'd find someone if I didn't make a move. I hear the phone ring. I run over to the bed hopping it'd be Ella. It just happens to be Nik. I pick up the phone. "What?" I ask.

"I heard what happened..."

"Go ahead, say it...I told you so."

"I wasn't calling to say that...who knows they may end up not even dating. It was just truth or dare."

"How did you find all this info out so quickly?"

"Ally called during yours and Ellas outburst."

"I saw the way she was looking at him, the way he was looking at her."

"You don't what's going to happen."

"Well...Steegers dead to me."

"Yes, we know. By the way, I ran into Bridgid."

"Oh God, what did she have to say?"

"Well, she thinks you and Ella are dating."

"What did you tell her?"

"That Ella wasn't interested in anyone and that you don't want a relationship at the moment."

"You're the best."

"I try. Hey, we have a preseason game tomorrow. We'll get dinner after and talk."

"Oh yes, a romantic date with my team mate!"

"You're excited admit it."

"Oh yes, very."

"I'll see you tomorrow."

I hang up the phone and prepare to shut it off until I see theres a text message from Ella. I click the envolope button on my blackberry and open it.

I'm really sorry for everything tonight. I can't control how I feel/deal with/about people and situations. Jon, please don't take your anger out on Kris, no one meant for the game to get out of hand the way it did tonight. I'll be the first to admit: I do find Kris attractive, however, I just met him and I wouldn't even call that a hook up. I don't know what is going to happen but I hope we can still be friends after all this but please don't take you're anger out on Kris and just let it go. Call me when you can/you're ready to talk. I'll be waiting.

I turn the phone off after that. If she honestly thinks I'm not taking any of this out of Steeger, well, she's wrong. I was mad now. She clearly just admitted that she found him attractive and wouldn't even mind dating him. I looked out the window of my bedroom and saw the city lights. Steeger better be ready for me tomorrow at morning skate.

It was on.

Truth or Dare;;Ella;;15

I come home from dinner early that night to find Brent, Steeger, Jonny, and Kanner in my appartment with Stephanie and Ally. I walk into the kitchen to find Steeger stairing me down. We only met once, at Brent's party that I crashed. This is the first time I notice that he is bloody attractive. "What the hell is going on and why are you four here?" I ask them.

"We leave in exactly a week in a half, were gonna have a little party so the seven of us can all hang out!" Brent smiles, pulling out Mikes hard Lemonade.

"GIVE ME THAT!" I yell, grabbing it out of his hand.

"Oh, she want's that hard liqour!" Steph shouted, kissing Kanes cheek.

My eyes widened after that kiss. I know when my best friend is drunk and clearly she is not drunk. I let it roll off my shoulders and Sit on the chair. We then move to the living room and were sitting either on couches and the floor. "We're gonna play truth or dare! The adult way!" Ally shouts. I roll my eyes. She wasn't drunk either but something was up. I catch Steeger looking at me. I look back but feel Jonnys eyes on me. Steeger smiles at me as I smile back. Brent throws a pillow at me. I turn my face to look at him. "That wasn't very nice," I joke, throwing the pillow back. "Steph, truth or dare?" I ask.

"Truth."

"You dating Kanner?"

"I meant to tell you, you'll get deets later."

"Looking forward to them," I joke, taking a sip of my drink.

"Johnny truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you to go streaking down the hall."

"Only if Kane comes with."

"Fair deal," Ally replied.

With that, Pat and Jon took everything off and ran to the door. I covered my eyes. The last thing I needed to see was two grown men ass naked. They then run out in the hall yelling "BANG A RANG RUFIO!" and start running up and down the halls. Steph and Ally are with Brent at the door, leaving me with Kris. He looks at me and smiles. "You must be Antonella."

"Yeah. You're Kris, obviously," I laugh.

"Nice to finally meet you," he says, giving me this look.

"I'm guessing that's a good thing," I laugh, taking a sip of my drink.

Kane and Jon come back with their clothes on and we all sit around the coffee table continuing are game. We had to leave Brent and Ally behind closed doors for a good minute, the Kane had to go sing on the balcony some rediculas 80's pop song. It was my turn now, with Brent asking the question. "Ella, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"Out of the four guys in this room...wait...take that back...out of all us blachawks that are yougins, is their one you would find attractive?"

Did he have to ask me that? I ponder about this. I was starting to become fatily attracted to Jon, but looking at Kris, he looked like a teddy bear, lets just put it at that. I smiled at Kris and sighed. "Yes Brent, I do." Jon looks a little pissed off but he shrugs. Kane clears his thoart. "Kris, truth or dare?" He asks.

"Both, lets have some fun here," he laughs.

"Alright, kiss Ella and tell us if you enjoyed it or not."

My eyes widened when I hear this and rage shows in Jons eyes. Kris comes over next to me and we sit facing eachother. His face is inches away from mine and suddenly, I feel his lips caress mine, pulling me into one of the best kisses I've had in a while. The kiss lasts for about thrity seconds and he turns to sit and face everyone else. "Well...did you enjoy that kiss?" Brent asked. I look at Jonny real quickly, who looks like he's about to punch a wall. I then look at Kris, who shakes his head. Finally, what he says makes Jon so mad that he gets up and leaves.

"Yes, I did."

The Greedy Child is Always Right;;Ella;;14

I'm at the hair salon with Alfonso. He's in one chair watching me get my hair highlighted, while I'm in the other waiting for my hair to process. He's doing his math homework so he won't be up late doing it after we get dinner with our dad. He put's the folder away and takes a sip of pop. I look up from the phone and catch him laughing. "What is so funny Fonso?"

"Nothing, you just look like an alien."

"I am an alien, that's why."

"Yeah, and I'm Jonathan Toews."

"Keep dreaming buddy."

We hear a guy talk and then footsteps. I look up and for some odd reason a smile forms to my face as the figure walks over to me. It's Jon. He then looks at my head and laughs. The smile leaves as he takes out his phone and snaps a picture. "Is that nessecary?" I ask him.

"I just find it funny."

"Great. This is my brother Alfonso."

"Ella, you know him!"

"I went to school with him for a year," I smile.

"LUCKY! YOUR THE BEST HOCKEY PLAYER OF TODAY!"

"That's very kind of you, thank you."

"Ella, can I go get a snack out of the vending machine down the hall?"

"Yeah, theres money in my wallet," I say as he runs off with my wallet. "THE COLOR FITS YOU NICELY!" I yell jokingly.

I catch Jonny snicker and shake his head. I look at him as I set my phone down. "How old were you when he was born?" he asks me. I do the math in my head as Jonny laughs even more. "I was in fourth grade, remember?"

"OH YEAH! You left school early because you're mom went into labor a week in a half early. God, he got big."

"Yeah."

"What color did you put in your hair?"

"Green."

"Good joke."

"Okay fine, blue."

"Jesus what are you, emo?"

"Oh yeah, because I cut my wrists and black my eyes."

"That's sad that you know that song."

"It's a good song. Anyways, blonde."

"It'll fit you nicely. Youll look pretty."

"You really think I'm pretty?"

"Yeah."

"Well..you're not so bad yourself."

At that moment I'm stairing at him and he's stairing at me. Did I really just call him good looking? A smile forms to his face as I crack a smile. I hear someone clear their thoart. It was Alfonso, standing there holding a bag of sunchips. Jon looks down and laughs. "I should go." We watch him leave as my stylist takes the foils out and begins to wash my hair. "You like him," Alfonso says straight up.

"We're friends."

"No, I saw the way you were looking at each other. I may only be eleven but I know when my older sister is falling for someone."

"And you know this?"

"Well...the way you look at him, you were stairing in his eyes all 'goo-goo gaa-gaa' like. Trust me Ella....you have the hots for Mr. Toews!"

Jesus the kid was good. I didn't even know what was coming over me. I was begining to fall for the guy. It was something about him that I liked but I didn't know what. Maybe it was the secret crush I had in fourth grade on him? Which is probably why I was so mean to him. I look at Alfonso who is eating his chips and between mouthfuls says, "You know I'm right Ella." I sigh. I had to admit to it. I smile then. If I like the guy then so be it. Odds are nothing was going to happen if Bridgid was still around trying despretly to ruin both our lives.

"Fonso, I'll give you ten bucks if you keep quiet about him and I."

"Fifthteen."

"Twenty, and that's as high as I will go."

"Fourty."

"You greedy child."

"Fourty!"

"Fine.

And that was that.

enjoy!. good night :)
