Zane kept replaying the match while drinking coffee.
"Seriously bro,find something else to do."Mike said.
He looked at him with a stern face.
"Mind your business."
"Do you always have to be that serious? "
You're boring."He said.
"What's going on here?"Alice Brooks asked.
"Mom ,tell him to do something meaningful."Mike said.
Alice smiled.
"Wolves again, don't worry son. Everything will be fine."She said.
"They're great ,,with a captain like that ,,,."Zane said quietly.
"One and only, Tyler Knox!"Mike shouted.
Zane looked at him, fiercely.
"Sorry,"He apologized and left.

Jules walked in,and found Tyler sleeping.
"Wake up you monk!"
He stretched ,and yawned,his eyes still drowsy.
"How can you fall asleep on the couch?
Wait,,,were you drunk?"She asked.
"No,,,Yes,,,okay , just a little."He said.
"Get up and call your mom, she's been calling nonstop."
"When did you get here?"
"An hour ago,I'm mad at tess."
"Ooh,,"he said picking up his phone, and called his mom.
"I miss you."He said.
"I miss you too,hope you are fine ,
who messed with my boy?"She asked.
I'm fine . Zane Brooks,he can never defeat me ."He said.
"Okay ,come visit soon."She said.
In the background his father's voice came through.
"He doesn't have to ,when was the last time he came? He'll ask you to visit him."
"Don't mind him son,stay safe."His mom said and ended the call.
He slid his fingers through his hair.
"Everything okay,?"Jules asked.
"Yeah,"He said heading to his bedroom.
He dropped on his bed.The room was quite.
Too quiet.
He stared at the ceiling,then his eyes drifted to the hockey stick leaning against the wall.
Then annoying,his thoughts shifted somewhere else.
Zane Brooks.
That confidence.
He groaned and buried his face in a pillow.
Get out of my head.He said.

Zane stood at the balcony, enjoying the cold breeze when his phone buzzed.
A notification.
Someone had taken pictures during the game.
Another message popped up again.
Wolves celebrating.
He remembered Tyler's threats.
Grin.
He sighed,and rolled his eyes.
"Dinner time?"His mom called disrupting his thoughts.
He looked again at Tyler's pictures and read some comments.
"I must defeat you ."He said quietly.

Tyler, switched on the television and begun watching eagles highlights.
His door bell rang, before he could open the door,James and the other teammates budged in.
"Dude,what are you doing,I'm inviting you to dinner at my house.James said, looking at what he was watching.
"Since when did you begun watching eagles highlights?"He asked.
James looked at him ,and leaned closer .Are you interested in Zane Brooks.I saw how you teased him at the game.
Dude ,I know you are gay,Ooh my god don't tell me am right."He said quietly only for him to hear.
"What, no!"
"Am studying for competition,how do you expect me to defeat him if I don't know his moves."He said in defense.
"Okay! I believe you.Now time to go."James said.
Tyler took his jacket and smiled , winning was not the only thing in his mind anymore.
"You smiled, James teased.
"I have a personality.I smile."He said.
