Lucas F & Ryder
"That'd be great!" Ryder beamed, nodded eagerly. Having shown up here just in time for winter meant he'd missed all that kind of stuff at the beginning of the school year. It was time to catch up.
"It'll be really good to have someone to prepare with."
And another friend. He was betting friendship could come of the practice, even if they didn't wind up playing on the team together. Ryder didn't know if different grades were allowed to play on the same team here. It seemed silly that they wouldn't be but if there were enough kids maybe. Either way, at least he'd have Lucas to practice with.
