"Katie I'm not going. Why would I want to go to this thing. He's leaving for eight months and then probably coming back for the off season. It's not like you'll never see him again. I hate his stupid face anyways" You say to your friend

"To this day I still have no idea why you to hate each other" Katie says

"He's a cocky jerk and his ego is so big I just want to slap him across the face. He just pisses me off" You vent

"Who cares Y/N. Just go for the food. Come hang out with me and the others. You don't even have to talk to Jack" She says

You roll your eyes "Ugh fine but I'm only going for you" You say

You've known Jack since you were in kindergarten and you've always hated him. When you were young he'd always take whatever you were playing with or he would break down what you were building. When you got older and he got better at hockey, you just hated him even more. He became cockier about his ability to play the sport. Your friends would drop plan with you just so they could go to one of his games or hang out with him. Sometimes girls friended you just to get closer to him. Over all you were never a fan of Jack Hughes and you had your reasons for it.

You got to the Hughes residence, where Jack's goodbye party was being held. You have come here multiple times for house parties he hosted when his parents went out of town.

"Just smile and have fun. Remember you don't have to talk to him" Katie tells you before you enter the house

You nodded as you went in. There were people everywhere but not like Jack's usual house parties. His parents were hosting this one. With in seconds Katie wonders off to find Jack.

"There he goes again stealing my friends" You say to yourself

You knew more than half the girls here had a crush of Jack and just wanted to get in his pants.

You walked around saying hi to the people you knew. Later on when everyone was hangout outside on the deck. You wondered inside getting away from everyone.

You found yourself in the kitchen picking at the cold food that sat out from earlier. You were shoving chunks of fruit in your mouth when someone walked in.

"Would you look at what the cat dragged in" You heard Jack's voice call from behind you

You rolled your eyes before turning around with a fake smile.

"Shouldn't you be outside with your little puck bunnies" You tease

Jack laughs "I'm sure they'll be fine without me for a couple minutes" He says as he stands against the counter beside you.

Jack's cologne filled your nostrils as he stood beside you. You heart starting to go crazy as he did. You couldn't understand why you were feeling like this.

"But it's their last day with you. Then I'll have to listen to everyone tell me how much they miss you" You say in a baby tone if a fake pout

"Oh come on Y/N. You can't tell me you aren't going to miss me" Jack says as he throws an arm around your shoulders

"I'm not actually. In fact I'm going to enjoy your absents" You say with a smile as you get out of his grasp and face him

"Then why did you even come?" He asks

"For the food" You tell him as you pop another piece in your mouth

Jack smiles at you and you give him a weird look "Why are you looking at me like that?" You ask

"Because you're cute" Jack says as he blushes

"Hughes don't play games with me. Do you have a fever or something?" You question

Jack laughs "I'm fine. I'm just being honest."

You blush but try to hide your face.

"I know you don't actually hate me" Jack speaks up

"Oh do you?" You say

Jack nods "Yeah or else you wouldn't have come" He points out

"I only came because Katie dragged me here and I can't leave because she's my way home" You says

"Really because the Y/N I know wouldn't let anyone force her into anything. You wanted to come because you wanted to come see me. Admit it Y/N you like me" Jack teases you

"In your dreams Hughes" You say almost choking on the food you swallowed

"You know so many people call me Hughes but it only sounds good coming out of your mouth" Jack admits with a little smirk

You blush again. Ignoring how your body was feeling all tingly around him. "You know I'm starting to think you like me, Hughes" You say as a teasing joke

Jack looks down at the floor, the room gets serious. "Because I do. Even with all your attitude and snarky remarks I can't get you out of my damn head." He confesses as he runs a hand through his hair

You were at a lose of words. You look at Jack and open your mouth but nothing comes out.

Jack moves closer to you and grabs your hand. Your heart skips a beat at his touch. "I was hoping that you'd come to New Jersey and come to a game or two. I could take you out for dinner and show you around the city." He says rubbing the back of your hand with his thumb

"Jack I-"

"I know it's asking for a lot might be a bit of a stretch. I have liked you since middle school, I don't care about all those girls that throw themselves at me. I want the stubborn one that hates me" Jack says with a little laugh

"I don't hate you you just annoy the shit out of me" You laugh

"So is there a chance you'll come to New Jersey? So I can prove to you that I'm not as annoying as you think"

You bite your lip as you blush again. You nod "I'm going to miss you Jack" You confess

Jack smiles "I'm going to miss you too" He says and he pulls you in for a hug
