times,” she told me.
“Do you know what size do you use?” I asked her.
“I’ll call Kyle and ask him,” she said taking her phone out and dialed something.
I pulled out my phone as well and dialed a familiar number. It rang about three times before somebody picked up. “Squid!” I grinned.
“Lyn, you up for a first run?” he asked, excited
“Yes! Wanna go to Alaska?”
He laughed. “No, we’re not jumping off a helicopter.”
“Who’s jumping off a helicopter?” I heard Lago form the back.
“Scotty!” I screamed, making Samantha and the hot helper in the snowboarding department look at me. I sent them apologetic smiles and walked out the store.
“Lynieee!” he cooed.
“I wanna try going Heli-boarding!” I told him
“Fuck no. I don’t want you to die! Jay would kill me!”
“I don’t think he’d care at his point,” I frowned.
“What are you talking about?”
“I’ll tell you when I get there, where are you right now?”
“Mount Rose.”
“Awesome, I’ll meet you there tomorrow.”
“Okay. Here’s John ,” Scotty said and I heard some shuffling.
“Lyn?”
“Yessiiree. Hey, can you get us a room for three please?” I pleaded.
“Sure thing? Jay and your bro? In one room? Haven’t you learned your lesson last season?” John chuckled.
“Shuttup,” I mumbled clearly remembering that Ryan and I had to sleep in different beds. I had to share a bed with Tristan, who made me a pillow and drooled on my hair. Talk about gross. I had to sleep in Scotty’s room.
“Well, we actually got given a cabin here, it has 8 bedrooms, so I can spare you two,” he said.
“Oh awesome! I’ll see you tomorrow! Thanks John y bear,” I smiled.
“You’re welcome Lynie-bear. Oh fuck, I’m not on speaker am I?”
I laughed. “Don’t worry, even if you called me ‘babe’ nobody would care,” I smirked.
“You have to tell me about that tomorrow” he told me.
“Indeed.” I nodded.
“Oh and Lyn?”
“Uhuh?”
“Nice to hear from you,” he chuckled. “Bye. See you tomorrow.”
“Bye.” I said ending the call as I walked back into the store.
“Who was that?” Samantha asked.
“A friend,” I said. “So you talked to Kyle?”
“Yeah, he said a 149 would be good,” she nodded.
“Okay, cool. I’ll go get a set up and I need to grab new boots, new bindings, a new jacket, new pants, new goggles and a new helmet. Oh and gloves,” I said listing it at the top of my head.
“So you need everything but a board,” she laughed.
“Pretty much. Plus, I need to get your stuff too,” I grinned at her and went to look for my stuff that I needed.

“Are you really making me drive to Fremont by myself?” Kyle frowned.
“Yes, I don’t wanna sit in a car for another 30 minutes!” Sam whined.
“Oh fuck it, I’ll go with you,” I sighed. “Why didn’t you just tell us what you needed?”
“Because, I need to try it on, thanks for going with me,” he hugged me. “Shame on you girlfriend,” he said to Sam in a girly voice. I couldn’t keep myself from laughing.
We then went back to Any Mountain and entered again. “Back for more?” the guy that worked in the snowboard department asked. Kyle excused himself and made his way towards the boards.
“He needed company,” I chuckled as we walked towards where he was.
“Oh, I’m disappointed,” he smirked.
“Oh?”
“Yeah, I thought you might’ve came back to ask what time I got off,” he smiled playfully.
“Maybe,” I grinned at him.
“Marcus,” he said putting out his hand.
“ Kate ,” I smiled.
“Matches your eyes,” he smirked.
“That’s how I got my name,” I chuckled.
“So, he your boyfriend?” he asked
“No. That’s -the other girl I was with- ‘s boyfriend,” I smirked.
“Oh, so you’re single.”
“Maybe,” I smirked.
“Flirt,” he accused.
“I know,” I grinned. Hey! It’s not
