KIMBERLY'S  POV

It's Friday today. The time is 9:38 am. I'm currently getting ready for the day. I woke up to a good morning text from Jack. Basically, I've been thinking about him since I woke up. The text he sent me was sent really early, so they probably have a practice. I'll go have breakfast and then I'll do my school. My mom and Peter were having breakfast. "Where's dad? He never sleeps late," I asked. "Your dad went to work." "Work? He's been spending a lot of time in his hockey room lately." "He is not in the hockey room." "Where is he then? Pete, why are you quiet? Do you know something mom doesn't know or isn't telling me?" "Nope, I just heard how he left." "I don't know anything either. He just told me he's going to work and when I asked what work there was no response." Well that's weird. I hope he's not doing bad stuff. My mom and Peter were talking about other things before I came, so they continued it after mom's words. I sat with them and joined the conversation.

FELIX'S  POV

"Come here guys, I want you to meet someone. So this is Felix Badger. He's my old friend. We were talking a few days ago and when he found out I'm coaching you, he asked to come and see how you play. I think it's going to be good if he leads your on-ice practice today. So yeah, Felix, Do you want to say something?" "Yes, thank you John. So guys, I don't want you to be scared of me or stuff like that, there's nothing you have to worry about. Just take this as a normal practice you have to get through today. Ok?" They all said "ok" in one voice. It's going to be a fun day.

*a few moments later*

"Move faster Zegras! I've never seen a slower skater before!" "Felix, I don't want to interfere your coaching, but Zegras is one of our top players." "I know, and I also know he can do more. You know, the harder the practice, the better the player." "Yeah, you're right." "Oh come on Zegras, you could pass the puck." I heard John speaking under his breath, "Trevor is going to sleep well if he doesn't have nightmares about today." "Amazing shot, Caufield!" "Not bad, but could be better, Jack!" "Awful pass, Zegras." I continued shouting what came to my mind the whole time. At the end of the practice, I had a little speech. "Good job guys. You're a great team, the best team the NTDP has had the past few years. All of you are super, super talented boys, but I can also see you work really hard. You all deserve the place in this team. Oh, and when I say all of you work hard, I mean all of you except Zegras. Yes, you're talented, but you have to work harder if you wanna get to the NHL. Now it's just not enough, you don't give 100% of yourself. Anyway, it was a nice day today, enjoy the rest of it. Goodbye!" They all said "goodbye Felix" in one voice.

BROOKE'S  POV

"Brooke, can you come downstairs? I want to talk to you." I heard my dad shouting. I'm wondering what he has to tell me. "Come and sit here." "What do you wanna talk about, dad?" "I wanna talk about yesterday." "What about yesterday?" "I want to discuss the boyfriend part." "If you want to tell me that I can't have a boyfriend, there's no need for me and you talking. I won't break up with Alex, even if you're forcing me to." He ignored what I just said. "I don't think that you having a boyfriend is the best decision right now. Especially this boy." "Why not him? You've seen him once, you can't dislike him. Why can't I have a boyfriend? I'm not a little girl anymore.  For once in my damn life I decided to tell you I have a boyfriend, because for once in my life I feel like I really love him. Do you know how much preparation it took me to tell you that? It's not up to you anymore. I just want to be happy, I think you want me to be happy too. And if you force me to leave one of the few people that make me really happy, I'm not going to be okay. Do you really think I should not have a boyfriend?" "You may love him, but how do you know he loves you too? What if he is just like everyone else and wants to have sex with you?" "Alex is not like everyone else." "How do you know that?" "Because nobody has ever been so nice to me. I can feel how much he loves me just by the way he looks at me. You just know when a person loves you, and I know that he's the first one who really loves me." "You can't be 100% sure." "I can. You know what dad? I don't want to listen to you anymore. You don't know him, or anything about me. Stop trying to rule my life, I can do that better than you." I left after the last sentence. I want to get out of this house. It'd be good if I call Kim. But no, she's doing her school. Alex and the other boys are at practice. What should I do? Maybe Peter is a good idea. He's a great listener. Yeah, I'm calling him. "Hey Pete, what are you doing?" "Nothing much." "Great! Let's go to Starbucks, I wanna share a problem with someone." "Okay. The usual place?" "Yup. See ya," I ended the call. I took my most important things and headed to my car. I texted my mom where I'm going, because she was talking to my dad and I don't wanna see him now.

We met. Me and Peter ordered drinks and sat on a table. "Tell me everything." "Okay, so yesterday I told my mom and dad about Alex. My mom said she's happy to hear that, but dad just thanked me for informing him. Today he called me and wanted to talk. The topic was Alex, surprisingly. He started telling me how me having a boyfriend isn't the best decision, especially if this is Alex. I told him that he doesn't know him and how much I love Alex. He started telling me how he probably doesn't love me and just wants to have sex with me. I don't know how he could say something like this. Yeah, I told my dad that I don't care what his opinion is and left the house a few minutes later. I don't know what's his problem. He doesn't even know him." "Maybe that's his problem. Your dad knows how 90% of the boys think. He just hasn't had the opportunity to get to know Alex. For now he thinks your boyfriend is like most of the guys. And most of the boys nowadays just want to have sex. They don't care about feelings and this kind of stuff. You're his little girl, it doesn't matter you're not little anymore. Every dad wants the best for his daughter. They don't do anything to make their little girl sad, but to protect her little heart. You can take our dad as an example. He went to work today. Do you know what his work is? He went to coach the boys for a day. I don't know what's exactly on his mind, but I believe he wants to spend private time with them. Kim will probably get mad at him, but he just wants to be only with them." "Wait a minute. You left your dad alone with our boys?" "Yeah, why-. Oh god, do you think he's going to psychically hurt them?" "I hope not, but we don't know what's going through his head." "Nah, he's not a bad person, he just wants to see them play, because I told him to." "You told your dad that he has to watch the boys play?! Are you out of your mind?" "Chill, everything is going to be alright." Me and Peter talked about some other things afterwards, because I wanted to stop thinking about my dad.

TREVOR'S  POV

I immediately jumped on my bed when we got to our room. We used the showers in our locker room, so the only thing I wanted to do right now was to lay in my bed and do absolutely nothing. Kimberly's dad made me really tired. My whole body hurts and I can't stop thinking about how bad I probably am, because he didn't stop shouting at me. I hate him with my whole heart right now. Yeah, I'm going to improve, but I really hate him at this moment. "Zegras, stop laying like that, you're doing it wrong!" Cole tried to imitate Felix's voice. "Shut up Cole, I don't wanna hear my last name today, not even one more time. It's enough." "Yeah, I don't get what his problem was. You were as good as always. And I can remember the one time he invited us to sleep at their house, he told me I'm lucky to have you on the ice with me. He likes the way you play." "I know, Jack. He's supposed to hate you, not me. You're the one dating his daughter." "I'd say this is rude, but you're right. I have to be the hated one." "And I thought the fact Brooke's father doesn't like me is bad." "Wait, she introduced you as her boyfriend?" Quinn joined. "Yeah, yesterday when we were leaving. Her mom seemed to like me, but her dad, wow, nobody's ever tried to kill me with only one look. Do you think he'll try to make me and Brooke break up?" "Probably. But you won't, she does what she wants. Even if it's her dad. I think it's more likely that she'll move out than that she'll break up with you," I comforted him. "I hope you're right." "I'm always right," I smirked.

KIMBERLY'S  POV

I finished doing my school. Peter is leaving Starbucks soon. Dad still isn't home. I'm really curious what his work is. I'm gonna call him, I have nothing to lose. "Hey dad, where are you?" "Hey honey, I'm with a friend right now. What's going on?" "You're with a friend? Mom told me you're at work." "Yeah, I'm doing both. My old friend invited me to help him with something." "Oh, okay. When are you going to be home?" "Maybe an hour." "Ok, bye." I ended the call. Where the heck is he? I heard a strange background sound. It was familiar to the sound Zambonis make. Is it possible he's on a rink? Probably yes, but that's weird. I can't wait to finally see him and ask all the questions I want the answer to. I will clean my room while I wait for him, because it's really messy. I put my AirPods in my ears and started tidying. I finished and looked at the time. An hour and a half has passed. Dad should be here. I ran downstairs and hugged him. It's getting interesting.

"So Felix, you finally decided to come home, huh?" "Oh come on Alice, I've been outside for only a few hours." "Where were you, by the way?" My mom asked him. I'm finally going to know! "I'm gonna tell you in a moment, but let's sit down first." We sat on the couch and looked at him. "First of all, please don't be mad at me, Kim. Second of all, let me finish before you talk please." I'm getting scared. "So, yesterday I talked to my friend John Wroblewski. He's coaching a hockey team and asked me to be their coach for a one on-ice practice." "Oh no, dad no, please don't tell me the team was the USA team and you coached the boys." "Oops," he smiled. "Why? Dad, you're being obsessive now." "Felix, how could you do that? Why? And please don't tell me you made Jack skate to death." Oh no, my mom spilled the secret. I'm gonna kill her if dad doesn't kill me first. "Wait what? Why would I make Jack skate to death?" "Daddy, there's something you need to know. Jack is my boyfriend." He looked at me like he made a mistake. I'm even more scared. "J-Jack is y-your b-b-boyfriend?" "Yes, I know you're probably mad. Please don't be. Jack is a really nice guy, you don't know him well yet, but I don't have a problem with you talking to him more. He respects you and I can tell you for sure he really loves me. No boy has ever showed me this much affection. Please don't be mad." I spoke really fast. "Kimmy, you know, that's not the problem right now. Well, we'll have to talk about it later, but I think I made a huge mistake today." "Felix, what did you do?" "Well, I saw how nice you're to Trevor. How he makes you smile and all that. I thought you like him. I was nice to him, because I wanted him to like me and you too. Well, this night I kinda had a nightmare about you and him. I got angry, because at the end I didn't want him to date you. You're my little girl, I'll never like any of your boyfriends. Back to the main topic. Today I coached them and maybe I wasn't really nice to him." "Dad, what did you do?" "Maybe I was a little rough, a little too much. But no, he's going to be fine. His body will probably hurt for a few days, but he's going to be fine afterwards." "Felix, did you beat the poor kid up?" "No Alice, I'll never do this to a young hockey player I'm not playing against. I just criticized everything he did and even if he did something really good I told him it was bad. But look at it from the greater side, he'll work harder." "Dad, you basically ruined his psyche." "I didn't." "Yeah, you did. Wait a minute. Peter, why aren't you saying anything? Don't tell me you knew about it." "Well, I did know. But in my defense, I didn't know he's going to attack Trevor." I threw a really mad look at Peter. "Dad, you have to apologize. I'd do that for you, but I don't want Trevor to think I knew about it." "I promise I'll apologize."

BROOKE'S  POV

I'm parking my car in front of our house. I really don't want to see my dad, but I have to. It's going to be fine Brooke, just act like you don't see him. I entered the house. "Brooke, come here when you can." Yep, it was my dad. I went to him and started talking. "If you're gonna continue with your speech, don't even start." "No, actually, I wanna apologize. I was a really bad dad today. It was really dumb of me. You're right, I don't even know the guy. I know he means a lot to you, because you decided to tell me about him. I get it, and I also get that you're really angry. You don't have to talk to me, just please hear my apology." "It's ok dad, I forgive you. That's a normal reaction. For you that's my first boyfriend, you don't want me to get hurt. But yes, Alex is really a great guy and it'll be good if you get to know each other. But please, wait until you're prepared for it, I don't want the thing that happened this time to happen again, ok?" "Okay. By the way, how many boyfriends did you have before him." "I can't tell you, that's a rule in the girl code. We don't ask each other about our exes." "Good one." I went and hugged him. We all watched a movie afterwards.

I'm in my bed now. Jack and Alex texted Trevor's type in our group chat. I think I met a similar girl in Sephora once. I texted her. We texted for a while and then I asked her if she wants to meet new people, because I feel like my friend would like her. I don't want her to text Trevor directly, because that's not our plan. I sent her Jack's Instagram, because he has a lot of photos with Trevor. Don't worry, I told her who exactly the guy is. I also texted Jack and told him about the girls. Now I did everything I had to do today and it's finally time for me to sleep.

*the next day*

FELIX'S  POV

"Zegras, can you come here please, I wanna talk to you." Yes, I'm coaching again. John talked to his boss about me. He said that I can come and help him when I want to. Trevor came. "What's going on, Felix?" "I wanna apologize for yesterday. I was really rough. You're probably mad at me, I get it. You don't have to love me, just please don't hate me." "It's alright, I didn't even expect you to apologize. You're coaching us, nobody expects you to be nice if you know what I mean." "Yeah, but I'm still sorry. I didn't even mean most of the the things I said. You weren't slow and your passes were really good. I just threw my anger to the wrong person. Now, let's start." We were starting at the gym today. I was really nice till I remembered something. God, at least it wasn't too late. I started shouting, "Oh my god, Jack, you can't be slower with the push ups, can you?"
