Olive was used to being surrounded by drunk hockey players, but those were guys she'd known for two years now. Not a team of professionals who were all years older than she was. They were intimidating and she knew if Kassie or any of the guys knew where she was; they'd be jealous.

Except, Olive hadn't had a clue as to who any of them were two days ago. Now, she was in Nico Hischiers apartment, trying to sneak drinks with Luke as they were all strict on the underage drinking. By all, she meant Haula, who had gone full dad mode the second he met her.

"They're not gonna know, just take the shot." Olive pestered, sat on the closed toilet seat watching as Luke stared wearily at the bottle she got from Dawson.

"What if Nico gets mad?" Luke wouldn't bring his voice above a whisper.

"Nico would never get mad at you, just blame me. I'm the bad influence and if you don't want to drink it then don't." She said and he nodded, taking in a deep breath before downing the vile drink. "See, that wasn't so—"

"Ollie, babe, can you hurry up?" The two froze as Jacks voice came from behind the door.

"Open it." Olive ushered, but Luke shook his head in fear.

"He's gonna kill me." Luke retorted quietly, knowing his brother wouldn't be too happy that he'd snuck off to the bathroom with his girlfriend.

"Luke, I know you're in there." Jack called out and the younger brother groaned, unlocking the door and dragging his brother inside. Jack laughed when he got into the bathroom, noticing the bottle and his grinning girlfriend.

"She made me do it." Luke pointed to the blue haired girl and she let out a gasp.

"I did not!"

"Bye!" Luke left the bathroom before she could argue any more.

"Did you seriously drag my little brother into your rule breaking?" Jack asked, stepping towards his girlfriend to stand between her legs.

"He's no saint." She stated, leaning forward to kiss his chest.

"Alright, as much as I'd love to stay in here and.. yeah, let's not piss off Neeks." Jack grabbed the bottle and her hand, guiding her out of the bathroom until she was dancing happily down the hall.

"Dawson!" Olive exclaimed, jumping onto the back of the tall boy.

"Ollie!" Dawson laughed out, holsting her up to make sure she didn't fall.

Nico's conversation with Dougie seemed to stop as he looked at the girl. His eyes squinted at her unusually happy tone. They'd all seen her behavior for the last few days, how she wasn't much of a hyper person, rather grumpy and quiet with them.

"Where'd you get that bottle?" Nico pointed to the bottle in Jacks hands.

"My criminal girlfriend." Jack answered and Olive dropped from Dawson. Jack knew Nico wouldn't care though, as he viewed her age as legal in his home country and had given Jack plenty of drinks in his rookie year.

"Olive, I'm very disappointed in you." Nico spoke in a serious tone and she frowned. Until the room broke into a fit of laughter, the two guilty face teens now confused as ever.

"Wait, so I could've been drinking this whole time?"

Squished between Jack and Dawson, Olive had no choice but to put half her body into her boyfriend. The couch wasn't the biggest and having four large hockey players on it wasn't the most comfortable fit. Most of the guys had gone home after a few drinks, but Olive, Jack, Luke, Ryan and Dawson had all stayed.

They ended up around the coffee table, playing a game of uno, which had gotten far more competitive than Olive would've liked. She should've known after playing with Ethan and Mark so many times that hockey players hated losing. Especially by her hand, for three games in a row.

"Seriously, how did you win every game?" Jack grumbled, his arms around her waist, pulling her further up his lap.

"She always wins. When we'd have trivia nights or game nights, it was a fight to have Olive on your team." Luke stated, unfazed by her wins after dealing with it for a year. "It sucked when she'd pair with Nolan, too, cause he's almost as good as her and—"

"I miss Nolan." Olive stated, taking out her phone, "I'm gonna text him and-oh shit!" She let out a loud laugh, which took everyone by surprise.

"What are we 'oh shitting'?" Ryan asked, leaning over Dawson's shoulder to look at the blue haired girl.

"My best friend was asked on a date." Olive answered, texting Kassie back quickly after seeing the several texts.

"Kas was asked out?" Luke asked and Olive nodded with a smile.

"Wait, who asked her out?" Jack asked, leaning onto his shoulder to read the texts. "Oh shit!"

"Right?" Olive closed her phone, earning several curious stares. "Boldy asked her out." She told Luke, only for the other three to go wide eyed.

"Like Matt Boldy?" Dawson asked, Jack nodded, grinning wide before taking out his own phone.

"Did she say yes?" Nico asked, shuffling the cards in his hands.

"She said yes."
