Hazel's POV

Maybe I overreacted.

The thought followed me all the way back to the dorm, clinging to my memory and I couldn’t quite shake it off.

It was all fake anyway, wasn’t it?

A deal. A temporary arrangement that was made for survival, not real feelings. If Jaxon didn’t defend me, and let his mother think I was just another fling, didn’t that technically align with the rules we’d set?

So why did it hurt like this?

I paused outside my room door, my fingers hovering over the handle just

  • Faking it with the Hockey Bad Boy   Chapter 138: The Semifinals

    Jaxon’s POVThe arena was already packed before warm-ups ended. Semifinals had a different weight, the kind that turned crowd noise into pressure.My skates cut into the ice as I took my first shift, letting the familiar cold settle into my lungs. Around me, the team moved with purpose. Some looked calm while others looked tense. Trey wasn't himself. I noticed it during a line change, but the game moved too fast for me to dwell on it.A few minutes into the game, I finally let myself look up at the stands. The student section was already loud, packed, and restless, banners rising in clusters. My eyes swept across the front rows almost without thinking.Then I found Hazel.She was seated in the center section with Sasha beside her, the moment our eyes met, she raised one hand in a small wave.She was wearing my jersey.I nearly lost my footing.I recovered fast, but Coach definitely saw it because he made a sound from the bench. I skated past him without a word, jaw tight, but somethin

  • Faking it with the Hockey Bad Boy   Chapter 137: My treat

    Jaxon POVI woke up the next morning with Hazel’s words still echoing in my head. The way her voice had cracked when she talked about her dad. I spotted her outside the library just after ten, sitting on the wide stone steps with her knees drawn up and a notebook balanced on them. She looked drained, her shoulders hunched like she was carrying the weight of the world. The sun caught her hair, but it didn’t hide how exhausted she was. I approached slowly, not wanting to startle her.“Hey,” I said softly, stopping a few feet away. “Did you get any sleep last night?”Hazel looked up, offering a tired smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “Not really.”I nodded, sliding my hands into my pockets. “Yeah, I get it. We’ve been running on adrenaline and suspicion for days. Look, before we dive back into all that heavy stuff, how about we take a break? Just for a bit. Grab some coffee, talk about normal things. You look like you could use it.”She hesitated, then closed her notebook. “You sure? I d

  • Faking it with the Hockey Bad Boy   Chapter 136: Pieces that don't fit

    Hazel's POVThe lock clicked and I stayed frozen beneath the desk, every one of my muscles aching. For a long moment, I couldn't breathe.The study fell silent except for the frantic pounding of my heart. Darkness swallowed the room as the light outside the hallway disappeared beneath the door.I waited and waited but I didn't hear any footsteps or voices, no sign or him coming back here. Slowly, I lowered the hand covering my mouth."Oh my God," I whispered. The words barely left my lips.Carefully, I crawled out from beneath the desk and stood up. The room was almost completely dark now with only moonlight filtered through the narrow gap in the curtains, casting pale shadows across the bookshelves.I glanced toward the shelf where the shadow reflected. A part of me wanted to go back and find out what was in there but another part of me knew I was pushing my luck.I had already nearly been caught once, what I needed to do right now was to get out of here. I moved toward the door and

  • Faking it with the Hockey Bad Boy   Chapter 135: Who is she?

    Hazel's POV The call ended just like that and I stood paralyzed at the door, breathing shallowly. She? Who was he talking about? A secret from his past? The words echoed ominously in my mind. My stepfather, always so composed, had sounded genuinely afraid.I wanted to leave like I hadn't heard anything but my legs carried on before my brain could stop it,I opened the door and walked up to his desk, when his eyes met mine, he stood up in a hurry.“How long have you been standing there?” I heard him say but my eyes immediately caught some financial documents spread out, like he was studying them.I wasn't wearing my glasses but I caught a glimpse of a bold heading “TRUST FUND”. Before I could get close to see any other thing, he quickly packed them up and put them away in his drawer.“You are still up?” He gave me a tight smile.“Its just 8pm, dad.” “Oh.. I know… you looked quite exhausted when you walked in so I thought you would be asleep by now.”Right, since when did he care this

  • Faking it with the Hockey Bad Boy   Chapter 134: If he finds out

    Hazel’s POVI stared at my phone as my stepdad’s name flashed across the screen for the third time that hour. The sight of it dragged me straight back to that awful night just days earlier, him standing in the doorway with a cold, unyielding expression, pointing at my bag on the porch. “You’ve embarrassed this family enough with all your action and that pathetic livestream,” he had snapped, his voice cutting like ice. “Take your things and get out. Don’t come back until you’ve fixed the mess you made.”This was right after I went live to clear Jaxon's name. He called me to come home, I knew it was bad news already but with Jaxon not taking my calls and everything closing on me. I thought perhaps home would be a better option. But of course, as always that place has lost all it has to be called a home.I had stood there in the rain, bag slung over my shoulder, feeling utterly abandoned. Now here he was calling as if none of that had happened. I finally picked up the phone knowing he

  • Faking it with the Hockey Bad Boy   Chapter 133: What did you do?

    Tiffany’s POVI got an official notice for school delivered in mail. When I got the pop-up notification, I set out my fingers to slide it away because I had developed the habit of skimming subject lines and moving on. But there was something about this particular one that made me pause.“Office of Legal Affairs — Student Conduct Review.”I opened it standing in the middle of my room and read it through twice.The language was different from anything I had seen before. It was precise and formal and listed specific terms I had never seen applied to a student situation, ‘coordinated unlawful entry, documented coercion, potential institutional liability.’“What the fuck is this.” I muttered to myself, reading the mail over again word to word.I walked to my desk and stood very still for a moment.Then I picked up my phone to call Amber.“Have you heard anything? About Hazel. About what she’s doing.”“What do you mean?” Amber’s voice was cautious.“Hold on, let me add Chloe to this call.”
