Playing Dirty With My Ex's Rival
First-Person POVFast-Paced PlotSweet LoveBadboyIntelligentRevengeBetrayal
Tell me this isn't real.”
Raid Bennett’s hand tightened around my waist beneath the stadium lights, his mouth hovering dangerously close to mine while the entire school watched us from the parking lot.
“It isn't real,” he said quietly. Like he wanted it to be true.
Then he kissed me like he wanted Mason Chester to choke on it.
Raid Bennett was never supposed to happen.
He’s Ashford High’s notorious hockey captain. A reckless troublemaker with bruised knuckles, underground racing habits, and a talent for making bad decisions look attractive.
Everything about him screams disaster.
Which is exactly why I chose him.
Because two weeks earlier, Mason Chester; football captain, golden boy, and my best friend since childhood, humiliated me in front of half the school after I discovered our entire relationship started because of a bet.
Six months.
That was the challenge- make the nerdy girl fall in love with him. And stupidly?
I did.So after the breakup, I walked straight up to Mason’s biggest rival with a deal.
I help Raid pass Chemistry so he can stay on the hockey team. He fake dates me long enough to make Mason miserable.
Simple.
At least… it should have been.
But somewhere between late-night tutoring sessions, jealous fights, whispered insults in crowded hallways, and kisses that feel way too real, Raid stops acting like this is pretend at all.
The problem is Raid Bennett comes with secrets. Dangerous ones. And the more I fall for him…
The more I realize the boy helping me get revenge might be the same one capable of breaking my heart even worse than Mason did

Chapter: No feelingsChanceMy stomach has been flipping since he got here. I can't believe I have him in my bed. Okay no, that came out wrong. I groaned internally. Why am I deviating from the point? Raid Bennett, Ashford's evil, was in my bed for tutoring.Or pretending to.Because for the last twenty minutes, he had done nothing except flirt, distract me, and look way too comfortable in my personal space.“We actually need to talk about this fake dating thing,” I finally said, leaning back in my chair.Raid stretched lazily across my bed like he paid rent here. “Sounds serious.”“It is serious.”“Alright.” He sat up slightly, resting his arms behind his head. “Talk to me, sweet cheeks.”I rolled my eyes automatically, ignoring the heat that crawled up my neck. “First of all, stop calling me that.”“Nope.”“Raid,” I groaned.“What? It’s cute.”“It’s annoying.”“Actually, you’re annoying.”I glared at him while he grinned shamelessly. God, talking to him was exhausting. Taking a deep breath, I tried focu

Chapter: TutoringRaidPractice was absolute hell.Coach Daniels nearly killed us for two straight hours because apparently “state champions don’t skate like sleep deprived dads.” Which honestly felt targeted toward Cass because that idiot almost slammed face first into the barrier after missing an easy pass.“Bennett” Coach barked across the rink. “If your head is somewhere else, get it back here.” The guys immediately started snickering. I flipped them off while skating backwards.Because yeah, maybe my head was somewhere else. Specifically a certain angry brunette with sharp eyes and a smart mouth.Which was annoying as shit. But I liked it.“Cap’s distracted,” Mathias sang from beside me.“Definitely whipped,” Cass added.“Shut up before I body check both of you.”They laughed harder. The worst part? They weren’t entirely wrong.Chance Monroe had been stuck in my head since the cafeteria. The blushing. The glaring. The way she nearly exploded every time I touched her.Cute.By the end of practice,

Chapter: InsaneChance“Did you see them?”“They were literally flirting in class earlier.”“Raid Bennett is insane.”“I would die if he looked at me like that.”Lunch was somehow worse.Everyone was staring at Selene and me immediately we walked in, and then the gossip started. Whom, by the way, I was angry at. Traitor.“Girrl,” she squeaked as we stood in line. “Detention date?” Of course the people in front of us heard her crazy self.“Shut up, Selene,” I hissed. “Oh, and I am very pissed at you.” I narrowed my eyes at her. She flipped me off.“You will get over it. But seriously, Chancy, what the hell was that?” she demanded dramatically, putting her hands on her hips like a Mexican grandmother. “The touching, the notes, the smelling.”I groaned when I heard giggles from the girls behind us. “Stop making it worse than it already is.”“Please, it’s already worse. Raid was flirting with you in chemistry. CHEMISTRY. Nobody can survive that. Are you okay? Do you need to see a doctor?”After filling m

Chapter: Chemistry and DateChanceI kept my head down with my hood up, hoping no one would recognize me. But yeah, who was I kidding? Nothing stays hidden in Ashford. The stares were different today though. Yesterday, they looked shocked. Today? They looked intrigued. Interested even.Everywhere I turned, people were whispering. They kept looking at me and grinning. It was all so confusing and frustrating. Last week, I was just a regular student. By the weekend, I was the laughing stock of the school, and today? Well, today I had no idea what I was. I missed my boring old life. I hate Mason for this.“ You are literally so famous now,” Selene said dramatically as she dropped her Chanel bag on the table.I groaned.“ I hate this. I hate Mason. I hate Raid. I hate everybody.”“ No you don't. You just hate that everyone saw you exchange spit with Raid Bennett. Though you still haven't told me how that happened,” she said, looking at me expectantly.Heat instantly climbed up my neck.“ Please don't remind me,” I sa

Chapter: Unknown NumberChanceI guess I didn't think this whole revenge thing through. I mean, I got what I wanted. Mason was embarrassed this morning, but the aftermath? I didn't think that part through. I thought being humiliated and dumped was hot gossip.Oh, I was so wrong.After the hallway kiss, I barely made it to class before the stares and finger-pointing started. It was like a circus. I knew Raid would make Mason jealous and uncomfortable, but I didn't think it would make people go crazy. Hell, even teachers were looking at me funny. Everyone forgot about the humiliation video. They were more interested in the kissing one.The kiss.Oh my God.I kissed Raid Bennett in front of the entire school. I still cannot believe it. I knew fake dating him would need some convincing, and yes, he said he needed time to consider my proposal. I just didn't think he would actually kiss me.I can't stop thinking about the kiss. it happened a few hours ago, and yes, it was hot. I have to admit, he was a good kisser

Chapter: Smart girls turn me onRaidIt is always the quiet ones. They are the craziest and the freakiest. I have seen a lot of crazy girls, I mean batshit crazy, and I avoid girls like that, but there's something about this nerd that pulls me in. She literally followed me into the bathroom. I chuckled as I thought about it.I was already interested in the game she wanted to play the moment she approached me. Anything to get into Mason Chester's head. Mason and I have been rivals since middle school. We competed for everything despite being involved in different sports. So when Ashford pinned us against each other, we just went with it. When his ex approached me, it was easy to say yes, but I just had to mess with her. Like this morning.I had no intention of kissing her, but I saw how Mason and his crew were embarrassing her, so I had to step in. The kiss was just an unscripted scene.It wasn't bad though.“Cap, you really dating the nerd?” Cass, one of our defensemen, asked as we got changed after practice. The lo
