The UMCH arena smells like stale sweat and shattered ice, the aftermath of a rival team's tantrum. Gaping holes in the boards, the Zamboni dead in the corner. I shove my hockey bag over my shoulder, jaw tight. Now we're splitting time with the figure skaters at their rink — and that's where I keep running into Anastasia Allen. She's got this sharp, unreadable look that gets under my skin. The team's been noticing, and I feel their stares. But I'm taken — I'm you's. So why can't I stop wondering what she's thinking?
