Lila only wanted to fit in for this one night and this one party. So she had one fake boyfriend to keep her from feeling invisible in a sea of confident smiles and perfect couples. It was supposed to be simple until her fake date ditched her under the blinding strobe lights, leaving her stranded and humiliated in the middle of the hockey team’s Freshers Welcome Party. But humiliation took an unexpected turn when Ethan, her best friend’s brother, and worse, her brother’s best friend stepped in to save her. That moment should have been the start of something new. Instead, it became the beginning of everything she never saw coming. Because while her heart recognized something in his eyes, his stayed shuttered, cold and unreachable. And just when she thought she was ready to forget, the fake boyfriend returns, this time, asking for something real. Between two hearts that shouldn’t collide and a past that refuses to stay buried, Lila must choose: follow the safety of what she knows, or risk everything for what she can’t seem to let go of?

Chapter 1 Lila's Pov
“You don’t get it, Ava. You never get it,” I snapped at my best friend, my voice already fraying even though the night hadn’t officially started.Ava Reed didn’t even look up from her phone as I spoke. She just lay sprawled across her bed in her oversized hoodie, hair piled into a careless bun, one sock missing, scrolling like the fate of the universe wasn’t currently pressing down on my chest. Our room smelled like vanilla body spray, instant noodles, and the faint chemical bite of disinfectant wipes the hall porter had overused earlier that afternoon. Outside, someone down the corridor blasted music that vibrated through the thin walls, bass thudding like a that of a baby volcano.“It’s a party, Lila,” she finally said lazily. “ Just a hockey team party. You’ll survive.”I stood in front of the mirror, tugging at the hem of my skirt like it had personally betrayed me. My reflection stared back, too aware, too sharp-eyed, already imagining everything that could go wrong tonight. Th

Chapter 2 Lila's Pov
“Relax,” Jake murmured against my ear, his hand warm and possessive at my waist. “If you grip my arm any tighter, people will think I’m dragging you in here against your will.”“I am relaxed,” I lied, forcing a smile as the bass from inside the hall rattled through my bones. “This is just my face when I am relaxed.”He laughed in a low and confident manner, the kind of laugh that made people turn before they realized why. “ Just do better. You’re doing great, Lila, by the way. Just do better, trust me.”Trust him.The word settled strangely in my chest as the doors to the hockey hall swung open and light spilled out like a living thing.The music hit first. Loud. Pulsing. A rhythm that seemed to crawl under my skin and demand movement from me. Colored lights flashed overhead, bouncing off banners with the team’s logo, off glass cups, off bodies already pressed close together. The smell of perfume, sweat, alcohol and anticipation blended into something dizzying.Jake tightened his arm

Chapter 3 Lila's Pov
At first, I told myself not to panic.Jake was probably at the drinks table, laughing with someone and forgetting he was supposed to be back in the next one second. The song had only just started. The lights had softened, the DJ letting the rhythm stretch, giving couples time to settle into each other. It made sense that he stepped away right before the dance. He had said one second. Well, people always said one second and meant something else.So I should just wait. Right? RIGHT?I shifted my weight and waited.As I did so, I smiled faintly, still playing the part, still pretending this was all under control.Drinks, I thought again. He’s just getting drinks.I glanced toward the table. It was crowded, a knot of people pressing forward, plastic cups raised, faces flushed. I scanned for his dark hair, his jacket, that confident posture that had drawn my eyes earlier.Nothing.My stomach tightened in response.Okay. Bathroom, then. Maybe, he became pressed and had to go to the restr

Chapter 4 Lila's Pov
“You’ve got balls showing up here after leaving a lady hanging.” Ethan stood in front of me, his body like a wall between Jake and me, his jaw clenched tight, barely restraining the rage in his eyes. His hands clenched into fists at his sides, knuckles already turning white from the pressure.Jake stared at him furiously. “She’s my girlfriend, what right do you have to dance with her?” “Say that shit again and you would be picking your fallen teeth all over.” Ethan stepped forward. “You claim she's your girlfriend and you left her in such a vulnerable moment, knowing everyone was watching… You left her to play off.”I stood frozen behind Ethan, suddenly I felt too tight, too exposed because everyone was beginning to look at us like we were the center, clowns.“Ethan please…” I started, but my voice came out too nicely already swallowed by the music.Jake’s expression hardened. “What do you know about my girlfriend and me? If I planned on leaving her, would I be standing here right no

Chapter 5 Lila's Pov
I pushed him as hard as I could, my hands trembling against his chest, the moment our lips parted, cold air washed over me. My heart pounded so hard I thought it might burst through my rib.What the hell just happened?Without thinking I ran out without glancing back. My heels clicked frantically against the pavement as I bolted out of the building, ignoring the shocked gasps and whispers behind me. I couldn't care less about the cold night, all I could think ‘‘was to get the hell out of this space, get out of Ethan’s line of sight.”I didn’t stop running, my lungs burned with every breath I drew until I got to the dorm. I yanked the door open, stumbling inside, almost tripping over my own feet as I rushed up the stairs.“Ava!” I called out the moment I burst through the door, my voice breaking. “Ava, are you..”I froze.My brother stood in the middle of our room, his back to Ava while staring at me.No, no… how did he find out I kissed Ethan so fast? Did Ethan forget he was at the pa

Chapter 6 Lila's Pov
My heart ached reading the message over and over again, so that I could barely sleep at night. Tears welled up in my eyes while tossing in my bed all night.Did he have to be this cruel? Simply staying away would have been a lot better than making me feel like a fool.The next day at the hockey rink, it was packed with screaming young adults like myself, their cheers distorting my thoughts as they cheered for the college team. I sat beside Ava in the bleachers, surrounded by other girls waving banners and wearing team colors. The energy made me feel numb, still restless from last night's disaster.“Go, Mason.” Ava cheered beside me, cupping her hands around her mouth. “Come on boys!”I tried to be enthusiastic but my eyes kept drifting across the ice, watching the players warm up. Mason glided across the rink with ease, his captain's armband visible even from a distance. Ethan moved beside him and there was Jake standing close to the boards, his face showing traces of yesterday’s brui

Chapter 7 Lila's Pov
A young lady walked towards Ethan, her hands leaning on his shoulder with a bright smile. I knew her quite well, she is the top cheerleader of the hockey team and never fails to pull herself close to him every chance she gets. I hated looking at her, her perfect ponytail that sat like a baby doll, her skimpy cheerleading outfit, and the way she pressed her lips against his. I felt something tight in my chest even though he didn't lean into the kiss. His body remained rigid, his eyes wandering elsewhere other than the hand snaking around his neck. She pulled up her practiced smile, trying to distract him while whispering something definitely flirty in his ear.I turned away before I could see more. A disappointed look on my face as I got reminded of the fact that Ethan Reed had a girlfriend. I shouldn't be this bothered after his cold text. What was I expecting? A hot guy like him couldn't possibly be single, I mean every hot chick on campus wants him… and me? I wasn't even close to

Chapter 8 Lila's Pov
What the heck?“Quit tho shitty thoughts.” Jake grabbed the locket .” This.” he said, showing it to him.”“What are you doing?” I immediately said, grabbing his arm. “Jake you can’t, that's your mother’s, you can't bet that.”“Relax mama," Jake confidently smirked. “I’ve never lost a race here, not once, this is easy money.”“But what if?” “I wouldn't lose mama.” he leaned down and kissed my cheek, the gesture felt so casual and affectionate that it took me by surprise. “I’ve got this so keep your mind at ease.”I wanted to argue more, wanted to shake some sense into him but the other racer seemed impatient and grabbed the locket, walking away. “And what do I get in return?” Jake asked.“Fifty grand.” He stared at the locket. “Although it looks worn out, its resale value is up to a hundred grand.”What? My jaw gaped open, are these guys dealing with real money or what and why does he have an expensive necklace seated in his car so casually when it meant everything to hom or perhaps t

Chapter 9 Lila's Pov
A hand clamped over my mouth from behind, cutting off my scream. I thrashed in terror, trying hard to pull off the strong strong hands over my mouth.“Relax mama, it's me,” Jake whispered.I felt some sense of relief knowing it was him, he took his hand off my mouth but held a firm grip on my arm, pulling me away from the pavilion. I stumbled after him, trying to keep up with his pace while paving our way through the crowd. “Where are we going?” I asked almost out of breath. Did he realize I'm in no way an athlete? Running this much would send me sprawling on the floor breathless with panic attacks.“I couldn't find you earlier… I thought..”“Later,” he said, not slowing down. “Just stay close.”Regret engulfed me, so much for bringing up the idea of having a date with someone I had no interest in. He led me away from the warehouse area, fleeing in the opposite direction from others, we stopped at what looked like a dead-end wall. Before I could query him, Jake pulled aside a section

Chapter 10 Lila's Pov
“So you won the game?” I asked as I walked side by side with him as we entered an ice cream cafe not too far from the dorm.“Yup, money’s in my account, got transferred as soon as I got across the line. Electronic and fast, no one has to stick around.” he shrugged, grinning. I shook my head smiling, the adrenaline starting to fade already. I was exhausted but even more alive and less worried … something I hadn't felt in weeks.“An ice cream date isn't that bad is it?” he scratched his nape nervously.I shrugged. “Seems fine, I really could use something chill to calm my nerves.” He gestured to a table, pulling back the chair for me like a gentleman. I sat down, cupping my hands shyly. Is this what it means to be on a date? It was my first time and it seemed to be going rather well.“Any flavors you have in mind?” he asked, sitting down while I stared at the menu, indecisively, and stared at the outrageous prices stated.“Why is it so expensive?” I whispered to him. “We should just f
