Hazel's POV

By the next morning, I had barely slept, the memory of last night kept replaying in fragments, the sound of Jaxon’s pained groan, the feel of his hand gripping mine, the quiet plea not to tell anyone about his injury.

This morning was a whole new game because I was about to walk straight into hell.

Jaxon waited for me by the administration block, dressed in a plain black hoodie and his team jacket slung over his shoulder.

“You ready?” he asked softly.

“No,” I admitted. My voice ca

  • Faking it with the Hockey Bad Boy   Chapter 96: If I can't have her

    Trey’s POVI sat on the edge of the bed with my phone in my hand, staring at her name longer than I should, every moment she walked away from me like it didn’t matter, like I didn’t matter, and something in my chest tightens until I pressed call before I can talk myself out of it.She picks up on the third dial.“Trey?”Her voice comes in flat, no warmth, no excitement, no nothing. Memories of when Hazel was inseparable from me flashed, and I clenched my jaw. All that changed when Jaxon came into the picture.“Hello.” Her voice rang through the speaker, snapping me out of my thoughts“I need you to come home,” I say, keeping my tone steady. “I have something important to tell you.”She didn't say anything and I checked the screen to be sure, she hadn't just hung up but she was still there.“I don’t think that’s a good idea,” she replies, finally after letting out a sigh“It is,” I cut in, sharper this time, then I forced myself to ease it. “Just come, please.”Another pause stretche

  • Faking it with the Hockey Bad Boy   Chapter 95: What makes me happy

    Jaxon's POV It's been a very long day and the mood in the car was still cold from the aftermath of the game and Trey’s face-off.I didn't like the way Hazel was looking at me, I hated being an object of pity even if I know she is only concerned of my well-being So I picked up a conversation to cheer her up and lighten the mood.“Have you picked a homecoming dress yet?”The words come out lighter than I feel. My grip tightens briefly on the steering wheel before I force it to relax.Hazel turned, her brows lifting slightly, then shook her head. “No.”“Oh.. let's get you one then.” I said with a wide grin.She watched me for a second, like she’s deciding whether to argue, but the words never come. Finally, she exhales softly and looks ahead, her fingers drifting toward mine before stopping just short. I notice it and I don’t move my hand away.The drive stretches quietly. She keeps glancing out the window, then back at me, catching me looking more than once. I don’t pretend otherwise

  • Faking it with the Hockey Bad Boy   Chapter 94: This isn't over

    Hazel's POV I had barely been standing there for five minutes, but it felt like time had stretched into something eternity.My chest felt too tight, I couldn’t get a full breath in, and I found myself pacing without even realizing it, moving back and forth, back and forth.I trusted Jaxon to handle himself but the look I saw on Trey’s face earlier… it wouldn’t leave my head.Lately, Trey has been erratic and unpredictable and I didn't want Jaxon being a victim of his stupid behaviour so no matter how much I tried to shake it off, I couldn’t.‘BAM’The sound that came from inside the locker room made me flinch.My heart jumped straight into my throat as I rushed toward the door, my hand immediately going for the handle, adrenaline pushing me forward only to stop short when it wouldn’t budge.I swallowed hard, my pulse pounding so loudly in my ears it almost drowned everything else out.But not completely because the voices were getting louder now. I couldn’t make out the exact words,

  • Faking it with the Hockey Bad Boy   Chapter 93: Divided Ice

    Jaxon’s POVImmediately the door shut behind Hazel, the tension of the room became more unbearable Trey stepped forward immediately, his eyes locked on me. “What the hell was that out there?”I didn’t move. “What are you talking about?”“Don’t play dumb,” he snapped, his voice sharp enough to cut through the room.“Johnson scores and suddenly it’s all about you again.”A few of the guys shifted where they stood but none of them said a word.I leaned back against one of the lockers, arms folded across my chest .“I stood up to support my teammate.”Trey laughed, short and bitter. “Support? That’s what you call it?” He gestured toward the door. “The crowd wasn’t chanting Johnson’s name. They were chanting yours.”I didn’t answer him right away wondering about the point he was trying to prove.Johnson stood a few lockers away, his stick resting against the wall. He looked between us, his muscles tensed, like he didn’t want to be part of this.“That winning goal should’ve been his momen

  • Faking it with the Hockey Bad Boy   Chapter 92: Familiar Stranger

    Hazel's POV After a while, Mr. Edward exhaled slowly, as if letting the thought go.“Strange,” he murmured.Jaxon tilted his head slightly staring at him. “What is the issue?”His eyes returned to me once more.“She reminds me of someone I knew a long time ago. Mostly her eyes.”My throat went drySomeone he used to know? Who?“Your full name, Miss?”“Hazel Pierce”“Pierce…” he repeated under his breath.He said it with so much curiosity like he was weighing it.Comparing it to something only he could see.My stomach twisted.Why did that feel… important?His eyes lifted back to mine, and this time, the intensity was sharper. Then just as quickly, he smiled again waving a hand dismissively putting up a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes.Then he turned to Jaxon“You’re a lucky young man. Make sure you remember that.”Jaxon cleared his throat, holding on to my shoulder “Thank you, sir.”He flashed both of us a smile“Well, I look forward to seeing you on the rink soon, boy.” and

  • Faking it with the Hockey Bad Boy   Chapter 91 : Away from the Ice

    Hazel’s POVGame nights always carried a kind of electricity. Right now, the entire campus seemed to move toward the arena like it was the only place that mattered. Every other thing seemed to have been placed on hold— the rumors and interviews, just for tonight.The Ice Hounds still had a season to finish.The problem was… nothing about this game felt like just another match because Jaxon wasn't playing.Trey on the other hand was parading himself as the new captain, he looked like someone who had been waiting his whole life for this moment.Jaxon’s fingers were wrapped around mine as we walked into the arena together. The moment we stepped inside, the shift was instant. Heads turned, conversations cut off mid-sentence, and the weight of their attention settled on my skin like heat. Some stared in admiration while others stared in concern but we didn't stop to look We kept walking until we reached the reserved section near the front close enough to the ice. It was where benched pl

  • Faking it with the Hockey Bad Boy   Chapter 11: Dragon girl

    Hazel's POV As much as I liked the attention Jaxon was giving me right now, deep down I knew I didn’t belong in this world of his. The games, the drama, and the spotlight, it wasn’t me. If I were being honest with myself, I’d had enough drama for one night."I want to get back to my dorm," I told

  • Faking it with the Hockey Bad Boy   Chapter 6: Center of Attention

    Jaxon’s POV I knew something was off the second Hazel’s shoulders went rigid. She’d been standing beside me and was pretty playing alone so well until Tiffany leaned in and whispered something that made her flinch. Her knuckles whitened on the strap of her bag, and that was all I needed to see. “

    Hazel’s POVI’d never felt more naked in my life, not even in the literal sense than I did now with my kimono ripped away from my body. The cold air kissed my bare shoulders, but heat crawled up my neck from the stares at the poolside. “Dragon girl,” the cruel nickname came echoing in my head agai
