Chapter two
Charming the entire girls on campus was easy but charming this new girl (who was certainly gorgeous, brunette-haired and had the most beautiful thin-almonds green eyes) that I had ever seen before.
It was a problem since she was immune to my charms, perfect good looks as well as believing all of the words that I had been saying her was very clichè as I continue to tell my teammates about how amazing this girl was.
There's only one slight problem though which is that I don't date because I find it to be a total distraction from focusing on my sport hockey especially when I was a captain of the hockey team even though there was no harm in talking or being friends with her at all.
Besides the point, I needed to get my team to the playoffs final as everyone else was counting on me for direction to win to lead us to victory not to mention that it would be great if I could prove my dad wrong on his assumption of me never being able to beat his worldwide being a wide receiver too.
"Come on, Boys say focus on the game here, Lomax please pass the ball to Avery!"Bellowed Coach Jensen.
Mason powered forward moves passed Grayson and then flicked the puck into the goal when he scored; we were all cheering until it was time for us to start practising again because the coach didn't seem completely satisfied with our performance today. But Coach Jensen made us go through drills for an hour, he waiting patiently for to see an improvement in our performance results. At the end of practice, we watched the old hockey team playoffs on television as well as flipping through the playoffs books for moves.
All of us went into the locker room exhausted from the duration of coach Jensen being too hard on us.
Shortly after, We took a shower or changed out of our hockey uniforms before, we headed into the main hallway trying to get to our classes on time knowing fully well that professor Tuckerman was going to hand out a knowledge skills test.
It was based on theories about two different people's beliefs in the following week. We had a new student in our class. Furthermore, I arrived walking into the classroom quite late , I heard my classmates talking to Professor Tuckerman when Brandon told me that there was a new girl in our class but I was too busy asking for an extension for last week assignment when I saw the same girl who I saw in the bistro happily laughing at something somebody else had says to her.
"Can I at least have an extension on my work?"I asked Professor Tuckerman.
Unfortunately, Professor Tuckerman, our philosophy teacher, complained about how it would be unfair to the other students who were in her class if she gave me the extension date.
However, Ms.
Tuckerman told me to sit down in my seat so, she could start teaching her class today because I was holding them back from their learning by interrupting her class.
Ms Tuckerman began to speak about the different two professors in the past who died and believed the study of the mind was rather a tricky concept based upon the similarities between human and animals as the entire class was split up between two different sides for a debate for and against.
Tiredly, I shrugged my shoulders in disbelief when she spoke out about animals picking up on emotions saying that we might not be so different from them due to the unpopular belief about evolution.
She explained about how we evolved from animals into human beings until I started to interrupt her by clearly my throat and said: "if we are well-developed species in compared to animals than explain how did we have the same flight or fight mode?" She waited patiently taking everyone else thoughts into consideration before she replied back with an answer of her own.
"The autonomic nervous system has two-"
"I believe that there is a higher power that created both men and women because of what created you," said Kallie.
The timer went off which meant that our lecturer was supposed to dismiss us for our next classes as Professor Tuckerman gave the entire class a case subject to study in our free time.
I headed out of class when I decided to get some free time off to practice in the ice rink before then I have ordered food for lunch to come to my apartment.
In the meantime, I walked towards the student chamber to meet up with Wyatt to run over the play by play together to get our team to win this season.
I spotted Keri's blonde hair as soon as I looked up from the computer to take a look at her, who was decently pretty yet so perky fluttering her eyelashes at me.
"Asher, I am wondering if you want to study some biology with me?" Asked a flirtatious Keri, curling a stranded blonde of hair with her finger.
'Study biology with me.' ( Was a code for pleasure in the bedroom apartment) especially when she studied fashion and she was a puck bunny who fell for my downright charms including my dashingly good looks.
But unfortunately, I didn't have any time to do anything with her, so I told her that I will text her when I'm free.
Ignoring the fact that she was pouting at me.
I shook my head letting her down.
However, I got a ton of stuff to do today and I couldn't be asked to spend the evening with her because I was busy working on my team's playoff routine for the next games.
Slowly walking towards the exit of the student's room my backpack was on my back as I started strolling down the hallway into the uni parking lot searching for my car when I spotted my red Mustang. Shortly after, I drove to the apartment to leave my stuff in my room and then drove back to the ice rink to practice more cheat shots I parked my car in the car park locked it up with my keys, hurriedly ran in there with the crazy rush of adrenaline rush feeling supernatural as I opened the door. I glanced around the room until my eyes landed on one gorgeous brunette-haired girl who smiled softly whilst skating on the ice with such stunningly elegance halfway through her choreography routine. I could sense she had this nostalgic feeling like she had missed it all too much, eventually she had finished skating. she did a whole curtsy thingy.
I clasped my two hands together and then started clapping for the amazing performance she had put on.
"Oh wow! That's probably one of my favourite of your routines now. Although, I must say that I didn't know that you can skate." She jumped up startled as she regained her focus and turned her head to look at me.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you there." I kinda apologised for giving her a little fright when I started skating up to her keeping the distance between the two of us.
Her skating was so methodical, she seemed so free when she skated as if all her trouble had gone away from her and she was finally able to breathe again.
Anyways, she said softly, "No, you didn't even scare me at all. But how long were you standing there for?" She frowned while taking a few sips of her water bottle and she sat down on the bench looking anywhere else yet, still not at me. "I'm not going to lie but I'm just not feeling like telling my whole life story to someone who I hardly ever know."
Personally, I think she might be right but my ego wasn't going to let her know that so instead introduced myself to her as a friend of Wyatt, who she was sitting next to her in class today. I was being nothing but humble about my title here in the University of Rockwell as the school hockey captain and centre forward too, because I wanted to get her more since I started to think about having her teaching my entire hockey team. It might help my teammates and i benefit from it in the final playoff match.
"How about we introduce ourselves to each other?" I explained to her by holding out my hand for her to shake. "Okay, I will start first. Hey, I'm Asher-"
She practically interrupted me when she started talking over me.
"I already know who you are, you're Asher Beckett the big shot hockey player. Every single girl on this campus neither gushed about you relentlessly in adoration nor warned me to stay away from you too. And no worries because I'm already too focused on other stuff to date anyone." she faux smiled while she took off her skates and carefully placing them wrapped inside of her sports backpack before tying her laces of her trainers she wore now.
"You still aren't gonna tell me what your name is, are you?" I assumed as I saw her walk away from me into the back exit of the ice rink and I thought if it were challenged then I would entirely accept her challenge eagerly with open arms as I was so set on finding more about this girl which I have to happen to know where to find her for a start, maybe an on-campus study group or the other places like the school library.
Challenge wholly accepted my friend. I was so ready to get my hands on your phone number, email address and your name, new girl.
Asher Beckett, never gives up on a challenge that I was so dead set on winning.
I thought to myself as I continued to practice skating on the rinks and shooting Pucks in the goal afterwards, I checked the time to see that it was rather late, not to mention it was dark outside due to September.
It was fall time and I knew that it was going to be winter soon as the wind blew on me on my way to my car.
I drove as soon as I got in, towards the apartment that I shared with my hockey team as well-known as my friends who were already sleeping.
When I walked into the kitchen I saw a note that Lomax had written for me.
Bro, pizza is left heated up for you in the microwave and Keri won't stop bothering me with the same question as last time asking me. Why are you not responding to her calls or messages?
Like, how I'm supposed to know that but anyway, enjoy your pizza.
-Grayson, PS. You're paying for dinner tomorrow night.
