Cassie’s POVI didn’t understand the rules, not one bit.Otto had never invited me to his games before. I could only watch him practice or when I couldn't get my mind off him, I sneak into the stadium just to see him. But today, I got an invitation from the captain of the team.If asked, I would say hockey was just a loud, icy warzone where guys with too much testosterone slammed into each other with sticks and the crowd screamed like it was a life or death situation. The announcer’s voice kept echoing as the puck flipped back and forth like a demon let loose. Every time a player rammed into the glass, the crowd went wild.Bored out of my mind, I just sat there, staring at the rink but the girls around me were living for it.Every time Ledger made a move, the girls behind me would scream his name like he was a rock star instead of a sweaty guy in pads. “Ledger, I love you!” one yelled. Another practically threw her bra onto the rink causing me to roll my eyes. But then, I caught m

Ledger’s POVThe morning sun which filtered through the half closed blinds in my room sliced lines of light across the floor. Staring at the ceiling, my teeth were holding my lower lips as memories of the previous night came rushing in. My head was buzzing, not from the alcohol I had consumed but from her, from Cassie Monroe. “Ugh!" I sighed, titling my head backwards, a bright smile spreading across my lips. Out of the thousand girls on campus, she was the one I wasn't supposed to touch. Not because she was untouchable but because she was real. She was different from the others, genuine in the world filled with filters. This was the main reason I felt drawn to her. No matter how much I tried to take my eyes from her, I couldn't. Each time she walked past even if we were several meters away, something in the air shifted. Freddie and I knew it from the moment we saw her, we knew that she wasn't the kind of girl we smashed and passed.The first day we saw her, we were sitting on

Cassie’s POV"Thanks for the shot.” I burped, ignoring his question. The bitter sting of vodka which I had consumed still lingered on my tongue as the weight of betrayal curled around my spine like a vice. I already had too much damage for one night. My pride was tattered, my heart stomped on like Ledger had said, and now, all I wanted was to escape, to go home, crawl into bed, and pretend none of this had happened.Gripping the edge of the bar counter, I slid off the stool but before I could take a step, he pulled me back.He was behind me, his hand firm but not rough around my wrist. I turned, ready to shove him off but he leaned in so close that his breath brushed the tip of my ear. He smelled like whiskey and trouble.“My place is three blocks from here,” he whispered. “Apartment 9B. My door’s wide open... if you want.” He said, and then released me.Rolling my eyes, I let out a scoff, my face getting hot from the outright invitation. “Just like that.” I muttered, watching h

Cassie’s POVThe bass from the speakers throbbed against the wall and the floor. The sound was vibrating under my heels as I swayed slightly to the music, clutching my cup firmly like it was going to slip from my fingers.The colored lights which were all over the room danced across the walls and ceiling, illuminating laughing faces, dancing bodies, and the unmistakable haze of youthful chaos. It was a student party and as expected, it was wild and unfiltered. It was the kind of place Otto loved but tonight, it wasn’t just any party. It was the night that Otto promised to finally make things official between us. My heart was pounding loudly in my chest, not from the music blaring from the speakers, but from the anticipation of what was coming. For the past two months, we had been seeing each other in secret. To others, we were just friends but it was more than that. We shared a lot of stolen kisses after his hockey practice, shared flirty texts at 2AM, I cheered him from the stand
