No more screwing up. No more screwing, period. As the new team captain, I need a new philosophy: hockey and school now, women later.

And I won’t lie—my new classmate Demi Davis is one cool chick. Her smart mouth is hot as hell, and so is the rest of her, but the fact that she’s got a boyfriend eliminates the temptation to touch her.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExcept three months into our friendship, Demi is single and looking for a rebound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd she’s making a play for me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvoiding her is impossible.
