The Graduation Party

After years of dedication, high school is finally over, and a hockey scholarship to Boston University awaits. But before the next chapter begins, there's one last hurrah: your graduation party. What was supposed to be a perfect send-off takes an unexpected turn when your best friend threatens to bail unless he can bring some unexpected guests – three hot hockey players who might just steal the spotlight and change everything you thought you knew about your carefully planned future.

The sounds of annoying blabbing from your mother's room jolted you awake. Rolling over, you checked your phone – nothing important. It was 11:30 AM. Time to face the day. You headed to the bathroom, washing off last night's mascara, then pulled on an oversized sweatshirt and threw your hair into a bun before heading downstairs.

The smell of bacon hit you as you descended. Your dad greeted you, his usual teasing tone in his voice, commenting on your late start. You grabbed a water, sitting at the island and making small talk with him until your mom's voice grew closer.

Whispering to your dad, you asked who she was on the phone with so early. Before he could answer, you heard her say, "Alright Ellen, I'll have to check with the kids but should be no problem. I don't know why they would want a couple extra guests."

Your dad's sigh confirmed your suspicion – Ellen Hughes. Your mom entered the kitchen, giving you and your dad a kiss before making her coffee. An awkward silence settled until you finally broke it, asking your mom about the phone call.
