My Hockey Alpha Chapter 187

Transfer Students

Nina

Every day, I met with Myra in the forest to try and open a portal. But each time we met, she still couldn’t do it — and by that point, her absences were being noticed by the Fullmoons. Eventually, if we weren’t careful, Lewis would catch on. We didn’t want that to happen because both of us knew that he couldn’t be trusted. For some reason, he clearly didn’t want Richard and Enzo to return, and I was certain that he would keep us from getting to the werewolf realm for good.

So, we eventually had to stop. I threw myself into replicating the antidote as a way to distract myself and give myself purpose. Night after night was spent sitting up in the infirmary until all hours, trying recipe after recipe to no avail. No matter what I did, I just couldn’t replicate that bright blue color. Even with Lori, Jessica, and Matt’s help, I couldn’t figure it out. And yet, in a strange way, it almost felt as though I didn’t even want to figure it out; because if I figured it out, then I wouldn’t have anything to distract me from Enzo anymore. And if I thought about Enzo too much, I was certain that I would go insane from missing him.

Finally, the day of the dean’s hockey game arrived. I really didn’t want to go as even setting foot into the arena reminded me relentlessly of Enzo, but it was my duty to go as the team doctor. And, admittedly, I was intrigued.

I was intrigued because there were rumors that morning of two new transfer students, named Sadie and Eli, who were coming to the hockey game. For some reason, I almost couldn’t help but secretly hope that these two new students were somehow linked to Enzo, but I knew that was silly. They were just regular transfer students, after all. I was probably only having these strange thoughts because I still couldn’t stop dreaming about Enzo, and I was losing a lot of sleep because of it. Surely I wasn’t thinking logically.

But even then, I couldn’t help but wonder why two transfer students would even want to transfer here after what happened, to begin with. Something about it made me uneasy, and I wanted to see these students in the flesh.

really an official game, but rather a simple friendly scrimmage. Our team — with Matt as the new captain while Enzo was gone, and Justin was back on the team to fill in the gap — would split up into two smaller teams, and they would play against each other.
