jack pov
i click post, i had just declared for the draft. my biggest dream was so close to happening, but would it? i was always nervous with new things happening and this would be the biggest. i don’t know how people handle it, everyone says i’m going 1st and i wouldn’t be surprised. but what if it doesn’t happens and no cares for my ability to play. that’s all i could think of until i got a call,
“hey man, congrats on declaring” quinn said
“oh thanks” i said nervously
“you doing alright? you don’t sound exactly there”
“yea, no just thinking.” quinn always knew when something wasn’t right, it’s like his superpower. we talked for hours it seemed like and he definitely knew something wasn’t right but didn’t push for any info.
“hey jack i gotta go brock is calling me, but you let me know if you ever need to talk. i’m always here for you.” quinn said sorrowfully
“oh alright tell brock i said hi.” brock and quinn had been dating for quite a bit. now i’m alone in my head again. worst case possible.
TIME JUMP TO FIRST PRACTICE
i was drafted 1st overall by the new jersey devils. and it actually happened. i think i pinched myself almost 100 times that night to make myself believe it was real. today was the day my career starts. i have my first practice, over lots of research i learned about my team. as i walked into practice, i didn’t really know where to go. i felt like a lost puppy, until i heard a voice,
“hey, you need a place to put your stuff?” he spoke, i couldn’t remember who’s face that was but he’s definitely cute. i nodded slightly and headed over to him.
“thanks, i had no clue where i was gonna go” we made some small talk but i couldn’t remember his name til it came to me.
