LOGINMason Reid has everything hockey captain, scholarship, a dad who’s also the coach. The only thing he can’t have is Ezra Cole. When a cafeteria fight gets them benched, the principal forces them to train together in secret. What starts as hate turns into desperate stolen nights, lingering touches, and a kiss that cracks Mason’s whole world open. As senior year drags them through competitions, rumors, and a chaotic training camp, Mason and Ezra aren’t the only ones circling each other. A new transfer student wants them both. A popular girl falls hard for Ezra. And one jealous classmate catches something he was never meant to see… and starts blackmailing all four of them with a video that could destroy everything. Family rejection, panic attacks, public humiliation, and the fear of losing scholarships force Mason and Ezra to decide: keep hiding and lose each other forever… or burn it all down and skate out together.
View More[Mason’s Pov]Honestly, I really used to think that fear was something you could see. Like a shaking hand,nervous voice and someone backing away when things got too hard.But I was wrong, sometimes fear looked like getting up at 5 AM for practice and pretending you weren’t checking your phone every five minutes. Sometimes it looked like walking through school halls with your head high while your stomach felt like it was tied in knots.While, sometimes it looked like watching the person you cared about laugh with someone else and telling yourself you were fine because you didn’t want to be the guy who ruined everything for them and that was actually the worst part of it all.I had spent years convincing everyone I didn’t care about anything. It was easier that way because people won't be able to hurt you if they didn’t know where to hit. But then Ezra happened and suddenly I had something to lose.I sat in my room staring at my phone, the last message still open.Unkn
The morning after the camp was over, felt like I had walked back into my normal life with a secret sitting on my chest.Everything looked the same.The same room. The same annoying sound of Jun’s alarm going off even though he wasn’t awake enough to turn it off. The same pile of clothes on the chair that I kept promising myself I would clean. But I wasn’t the same.I lay there staring at the ceiling, replaying everything that happened at the cabin even though I was trying my hardest not to.Mason’s voice, Kai’s smile, Lila’s laugh when she was nervous. The way all of us had crossed a line we couldn’t uncross.My phone sat beside me on the bed. No new messages, no threats. Nothing and somehow that bothered me more. Because waiting for something bad to happen was worse than knowing it already had.I finally forced myself out of bed and got ready for school.The second I stepped into the hallway, everything felt louder than usual.People were laughing near the stairs. Someone was arguing
The morning after the bonfire felt unreal in the worst possible way.For a few seconds after I opened my eyes, and I genuinely forgot where I was. All I saw was the pale morning light pushing through the cabin windows and felt warmth pressed against me from every direction.Then my brain caught up. Mason’s arm was still wrapped around my waist, possessive even in sleep. Kai was half curled against my side with one leg thrown over mine like he belonged there. Lila’s head rested on my chest, her hair all over the place and tickling my jaw every time she breathed.Nobody had moved yet. My heartbeat started climbing immediately with something worse. Because the second I remembered last night, I also remembered how badly I didn’t regret it.And that should’ve terrified me more but I wasn't.Kai stirred first beside me, groaning softly before blinking awake. For a second he just stared at me sleepily, then smiled like waking up tangled together was the most normal thing in the world.“Morni
The Sports Festival announcement already had the whole school acting insane, but the real chaos started two days later during morning assembly.Principal Gage stepped up to the microphone with the same expression teachers used right before ruining everybody’s peace.“Due to the increased interest in this year’s showcase,” she announced, “we’ll also be holding a three-day leadership and training camp next weekend at the state park for participating athletes.”The gym got loud immediately.“Cabins, team-building exercises, strategy sessions, and additional training opportunities will all be included. College scouts are paying very close attention this year, so attendance is strongly encouraged.”Somebody near the back yelled, “So basically summer camp with emotional trauma.”Half the gym started laughing.Coach looked exhausted already.I sank lower in my seat while people around me immediately started talking over each other about cabin assignments and sneaking alcohol.Three days at c
