MasukTiffany’s POV I had not slept properly since Hazel went live on her blog, in fact crazily, since I found out she was the face behind the blog.The memory continually replayed in my mind every time I closed my eyes. The bold look on her face as she spoke, every detail she revealed concerning her blog which made me sick. I couldn’t stop scrolling through the comments.“She doesn’t deserve to go scot free.”“I ended my three-year relationship because of this bitch.”“I wonder what Jaxon saw in her when he decided to date her.”“She came out and took responsibility for her actions but that isn’t enough to justify the amount of reputations she ruined”“I’m so glad that I wasn’t ever included on the list of people she decided to ruin.”“I'm really grateful because I found out my boyfriend was cheating on me.”Hazel had ruined not only my life but also that of my friends, because she decided to run her mouth and not mind her damn business… and now she wants everyone to clap for her because
Hazel’s POVBy the time I got back to my dorm, pushing my room door open, Sasha is already sitting on her bed with her laptop open and she looks up the second I walk in, the moment she lifts her head up and sees me she closes her laptop. “Hey,” she says.That's all…something about it feels off, like she's saying it to a stranger. I feel my heart thump and my eyes water. My throat tightens as I hold everything in.I sit on my bed and press my phone in my palm, snuggling my nose while trying hard to hold back the tears from falling. I press my hand on my lap and bit my lower lip.“You good?” Sasha moves from her bed to my side, warmly pulling me into her arms, and she rubs my back silently. She grabs a bottle of water from her desk and hands it over to me.I take a gulp and sigh. “It feels like my life is literally over.” I sigh. “I did nothing wrong and yet I have to be punished.”“Well…” she trails off. “Sometimes life is like that.” She shrugged her shoulders.“That’s it? That’s all
Hazel’s POV I woke up dressed for school in the morning. I was done sulking and at this point I know that staying in door all day wouldn't make the news go away which was the reason why I was up.Just as I pickup my phone from the bed to put in my purse, I got a mail notification‘You’re hereby summoned to appear before the university disciplinary board…’I remained on the spot staring deeply at the message and I felt my stomach churn. I had been expecting this, I knew coming out to reveal I was the owner of the blog came with its perks.I look down and see the time for the meeting, I only have about two hours to get myself ready and get my ass out there.I sighed and started getting dressed.Walking into the boardroom, it looked smaller than I expected. I had expected a bunch of people to already be seated, adjusting their glasses and glaring at me the moment I walked in but it was a wonky desk with two seats, each opposite the other.“You’re here.” The woman in the office looked up
Jaxons POV I receive the email at 7:43am, I read it three times before I put my phone down because I expected the next sentence to take it back.‘Suspension lifted conditionally, pending disciplinary investigation regarding the allegations. You are cleared to return to team activities effective immediately.’I set my phone face down on the mattress and sit there for a moment staring at the wall before I get up and get ready.This simply means one thing, Hazels Livestream has vindicated me. Relief washed down my body as I tried to hold back the tears of joy that were threatening to pour out.Hockey is my future but someone wants me out. My mind now also drifts to Hazel who put herself on the line for me. Who is behind this? Over the past few days, my head has been spinning for possible names. I know that it's only a matter of time but I will make sure to get to the root of it.*****Coach doesn’t tell me to sit when I walk into his office and I don’t bother to. We’ve never been in th
Hazel’s POV I am in the middle of packing my bag in the dorm. Since I went live on my page, I had not stepped a foot outside. So when I heard a knock on the door, I was reluctant to get it but after the three knock, I stood on the side of the door for a moment with my hand in the strap of my bag and then opened it.Jaxon looks like he hasn’t had a speck of sleep, his dark circles and under-eye are very evident.He’s still in the same jacket from earlier, his jaw clenched, darting his gaze anywhere but me like he had a lot to say but couldn’t bring the words out. He opens his mouth then closes it again. “Can I come in?” He asks.I step back from the door, and he comes in and stands near the desk, not sitting or moving from where he stands awkwardly.I lean against the wall with my arms folded and wait.“I saw the live.” He finally spills.“I know.” I press my lips together. “If not, you wouldn’t be here.” I tuck my hair behind my ear.“Hazel…” he stops mid-sentence. “Can we talk?”“J
Jaxon’s POVI see it by accident, Johnson sends it without a message attached, just a link and I almost don’t open it because I’ve been ignoring everything lately… calls, messages, the group chat that has been flooding with messages since my suspension notice went out. But something about it being captionless makes me click on it and then I’m watching Hazel sitting on the edge of her bed in a hoodie, staring at the camera.I turn up the volume.“My name is Hazel and I run this blog….”I go still and watch her say it, from the pact, the scheduled post she couldn’t take down, I notice when her voice cracks slightly calling my name, I watch her press her hand against her knees to keep them from shaking, and keep watching anyway with the viewers count increasing.I feel my chest warm up, perhaps it was a relief that she didn’t actually betray me.“The steroid accusation is false…” she speaks plainly, quite easy to tell that she isn’t lying. I shut my eyes for a second.She knew what she
Hazel's POV When we left Mr. Reed's office, I didn't believe I could move my legs. The day was as exhausting as I had predicted but I think it got worse after hearing that my fate now lies in my dad's hand. Jaxon didn’t say much in the car as we drove to his apartment, but he never let go of my h
Hazel's POV I slammed the office door behind me and pressed my spine to it, just to keep myself upright. My hands wouldn’t stop shaking, no matter how hard I clenched them, trying too damn hard not to explode.Trey’s voice and my dad's cold stare like he’d already decided I was guilty clung to my
Hazel’s POVThe porch light had gone out completely now. Only the soft glow from the street lamp spilled across the driveway, painting my shadow long and crooked on the concrete in front of me.I rang the doorbell again, even though I already knew it was useless.Nothing.I leaned my forehead again
Hazel’s POVThe rest of the day dragged so slowly. Every sound in the house made me almost jump out of my skin —the clock ticking, the fridge humming, even my own heartbeat. I tried watching TV, listening to music, even folding laundry just to keep busy but none of it worked. My brain kept reflect
