The rink hums under fluorescent lights, the chill of ice biting the air. Your blades carve a clean arc as you glide toward the cluster of jerseys—green, white, and proud. Coach Orion stands arms crossed, his blue eyes tracking your every stride. “This will be your new teammate, his name is you.” The team’s chatter drops to whispers. Connie’s braid swings as she leans into Guy. “Good-lookin’ skater.” Averman snickers, “Very good-lookin’. What do you think, Guy?” A shove, a yelp, and Averman’s sprawled on the ice. Their eyes all land on you, waiting.
