Aria breezed into the room, her usual vibrant energy filling the space. “Evie, you
ready?”
I turned to face her, offering a weak smile. “I guess so.”

She arched an eyebrow, concern evident in her gaze. “Hey, what's going been
acting really strange all day.”
I let out a sigh, running a hand through my hair. “It's just... I've never willingly
gone. to one of Timothy's games before. I mean, sure, you've dragged me to a
couple, but this feels different.” Aria’s expression softened, and she crossed the
room to stand in front of me. “Evie, you're his friend now, so showing up to
support him won't be weird at all. Trust me, he'll appreciate it.” Lucas, who had
been sitting on the couch, chimed in. “Aria’s right. And besides, he knows you,
unlike his over-the- top fans. You're genuine.”
I couldn't help but crack a small smile at their reassurance. Thanks, guys. I know
you're right. It's just hard to shake these nerves.”
Aria looped her arm through mine, leading me toward the door. “Well, you won't
be alone. We'll be there with you, cheering him on.”
As we made our way to the stadium, I couldn't shake the feeling that I was about
to step into unfamiliar territory. It wasn't just about being in a crowd or watching a
hockey game; it was about putting myself out there in a way I hadn't before. My
heart raced as we took our seats, the energy of the crowd enveloping us.
The exhilarating roar of the crowd echoed through the stadium as I walked
alongside Aria and Lucas, my heart brimming with anticipation. We had arrived
just in time for Timothy's hockey game, the only one I've been to on my own
accord.
With Aria on one side and Lucas on the other, we navigated through the sea of
fans, finally finding our seats among the enthusiastic spectators. The ice rink
stretched out before us, bathed in the glow of the arena’s bright lights. The
anticipation was almost tangible, a charged energy that hung in the air, waiting to
be unleashed.

moved, his determination etched in his expression. He darted across the ice, his

movements a dance of strength and agility. My heart swelled with pride as I
watched him glide across the ice.
“He's incredible,” I muttered, my voice filled with awe.
Aria nudged me with an excited grin. “Told you.”
Despite the excitement around me, I couldn't shake the lingering unease that
tugged at my thoughts. It wasn't just about being here—it was about confronting
my own feelings, acknowledging the undeniable shift that had occurred between
Timothy and me.
The intermission arrived, and I found myself lost in my own thoughts as Aria and
Lucas chatted animatedly.
“He's going to see us during the break, Aria announced, snapping me out of my
reverie. My heart skipped a beat as I glanced toward the tunnel. Sure enough,
there he was- Timothy, his hockey gear and sweat—soaked hair a testament to
his exertion on the ice. He caught sight of us and flashed a grin, making his way
over.
“Hey, you guys made it!” Timothy exclaimed, his voice a mix of surprise and
delight.
Aria grinned back at him. “Wouldn’t miss it for the world.”
I managed a small smile, my nerves still bubbling beneath the surface. “Yeah, we
wanted to
show our support.”
Timothy's eyes met mine, a warmth in his gaze that sent a jolt through me. “I'm
really glad you're here, Evie.”
The sincerity in his words made my heart flutter, and I felt a rush of emotions that
I struggled to contain. “Of course, Timothy. You're doing amazing out there.”
As he chatted with Aria and Lucas, my mind raced. The support, the
encouragement-it was all so genuine. And as I watched Timothy interact with my
friends, it suddenly occurred to me how much he'd become integrated into my
life.
The second period began, and I watched Timothy with renewed appreciation.
Every move, every play, was a testament to his dedication and passion.

found myself mesmerized by the fast-paced action, the sound of skates slicing
through the ice, and the fierce determination etched on each player's face.
“Go, Timothy!” Aria jammed her foam finger in the air, disregarding the box of
popcorn that fell from her lap.
Lucas was stretching his neck, trying to get a good view of the action despite the
people standing in front of us. “I still have no idea what's going on,” he admitted
aloud, looking to me with concern.
I laughed. “Just pay attention to Aria. If she cheers, you cheer too.”
“Got it,” he said, turning his attention to Aria as she screamed at the Lop of her
lungs. He followed suit, clapping and cheering, albeit with a lost expression on
his face.
