All Chapters of The Hockey Alpha was My Childhood Sweetheart: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Monday marked the return of school after the weekend, and it seemed like the world was shifting back into its familiar rhythm. For Lucas, though, the focus wasn't solely on books and classes.The upcoming hockey game loomed over him.The game casted excitement and nerves on everyone at Shadow High.All week long, there's been a silent buzz amongst all the students about the impending game. It's been the center of all the school's group chats. Actually, Lucas had been the topic of every group chat.Everyone wanted to know if the Dragons would be able to win the game after they lost their previous game due to Lucas's bad mood and conflicting feelings.But as I watched Lucas from a distance during hockey practice, his dedication evident in the sweat glistening on his forehead, his skates slicing through the ice with a determined grace.I had no doubt that he would be able to carry the Dragons to victory in this next game.This game was crucial, determining whether their team would make i

The day of the game against the Dragons and the Serpents had finally arrived. Excitement bubbled within me as I pulled on my Dragons jersey, the one that had Lucas's name and number on the back.The anticipation was killing me, and it seemed to be reflected in the charged energy around me as I walked inside the hockey stadium at Hollow High.This was the game that would determine the Dragon's place in the championships, and I had no doubt that Shadow High's team, led by Lucas, would give it their all.My phone buzzed with a text notification, and I glanced down to see it was from Lucas.Lucas: I'll be a bit late for the game. See you there!I frowned, wondering why he wasn't with the other players yet. Lucas was never late. I didn't think too much about it, and sent him a simple reply of, "See you at the game!" and headed to the arena with James.As the minutes ticked by and the game time drew closer, I began to feel a sense of unease.Lucas not showing up was unlike him, especially f

The buzz in the air after the Dragon's victory was infectious. The team had pulled off an incredible win, thanks to Lucas finally making it to the game in time.Everyone was in high spirits, basking in the glory of our triumph. But I don't think anyone was as excited as James."Hell yeah! Drinks on me tonight, guys!" James cheered for his teammates.All of them began to holler before Lucas stepped in, making all of them go silent."Nobody is drinking anything tonight," Lucas said like a stern father. All the players booed him."Come on, captain!" One of the guys pouted. "We just kicked ass out there!""Yeah, we all deserve to celebrate!" Sam shouted. "Especially you, Lucas. You're the one who helped us get there."They all batted their lashes and kept chanting 'please' before Lucas finally caved in."Okay, okay. Fine, you guys can go," Lucas said, leaving all the players cheering.James high-fived Sam just as Lucas said, "Except for you, James."James sagged his shoulders, stomping hi

The weekend had finally arrived, and our plan to surprise Lucas was set in motion.It had been a difficult few weeks for Lucas, and James, Victoria, and I were all on board to help him forget about the recent drama that went down with his father.Lucas needed to enjoy the more carefree moments of life, and Kendrick had only been weighing him down.I remembered that there was a local bowling alley and arcade that Lucas, James, and I had gone to a lot when we were younger. We'd spend hours playing laser tag and arcade games to win the prizes.So that was our destination for today, the local arcade. There was no way we wouldn't have a great time. It always built the best memories full of laughter, and maybe a bit of friendly competition.But the real kicker here was that Lucas had absolutely no idea where we were going."Guys," Lucas said, his mouth turning downward into a frown. "When can I take this blindfold off?"The blindfold was a bit excessive, but it was James's idea, so Lucas ha

I was still shaking even though I knew my father wouldn't be able to get up and hurt me.Lucas noticed that I was standing shell-shocked and approached me immediately, wrapping me in a comforting hug. I was too stunned to even wrap my arms around him.I stared down at my unconscious father, his figure sprawled on the living room floor, a stark reminder of everything that had just unfolded.Lucas's voice cut through the tension, his eyes reflecting concern. "What happened?""Kendrick." It was only one word, but it was able to sum everything up. Realization flashed through Lucas's eyes."That's why he said this was all my fault?" Lucas asked.I nodded. "But obviously he's wrong, Lucas. You did nothing wrong, and my father clearly isn't in the place to be starting arguments.""I know Shana, I'm not upset about that." Lucas pulled back from our hug, staring straight into my eyes. "He could've hurt you if I wouldn't have been able to come back in time.""But you did," I said. "And that's a
