Rookies Hit It Better

A joke gone too far. Unnecessary and unexpected feelings. Possessive feelings over a friend. And they rookies have no fun.

Beth has been my friend since forever. She's the girl I call to bail me out of jail when a prank goes too far. I've never thought of her as anything but a friend. Just because she's drop-dead gorgeous doesn't mean I think of her in that way.

I don't.

I've never seen her as anything but a friend.

I mean, I do some stupid stuff and she puts up with me. I think it's because I've made her laugh - have been since we shared a kindergarten class.

She puts up with my stupid friends and our stupid shenanigans.

Thank God I was drafted by my hometown team and I still get to hang out with her when I'm not playing hockey.

I've never grown up, I guess.

At least being a hockey player means learning new ways to mess with people.

Until I realize my best friend has a thing for Beth.

Until I realize she may have a thing for him.

Until I realize I have a huge problem with it and I don't even know why.

I've never seen Beth as anything more than a friend.

But now, I don't see her as anything but mine. Only, she doesn't know it yet.
