Hazel’s POV

By the second week, the rumors around campus have gotten louder. I notice it first from a group of junior cheerleaders who suddenly seem very interested in talking whenever I walk by.

At first, the rumors were uncomfortable, I was conscious of my every move. Now that the whispers have grown teeth.

I didn't bother looking sideways.

Three junior cheerleaders standing near the staircase stopped talking the instant they saw me. Brielle turned to me and rolled her eyes so dramatically th

  • Faking it with the Hockey Bad Boy   Chapter 154: Wildlife is back

    Hazel’s POVI kept thinking about who Trey used to be before all of this.It was a strange thing to grieve, considering everything he’d done. But somewhere underneath everything, there had been a version of him I actually liked once. The brother who used to steal my fries at dinner and pretend he wasn’t doing it. The one who showed up to one of my middle school recitals because nobody else could make it.I didn’t know when that person had disappeared, it must have been in college because that was when he got all too absorbed with himself. Either way, he is gone from WildLife now. The school’s IT department had pulled his access during the investigation, and somewhere in the mess of paperwork, my account had finally come back to where it belonged.To me, after I wrote an undertaking never to use it to tarnish any image. Even if I never did tarnish any image. My blog posts were o mostly about rumours, sex and wild life on campus. Yet I graciously signed the undertaking because I missed

  • Faking it with the Hockey Bad Boy   Chapter 153: What is he hiding?

    Trey’s POVThe official notice came through at noon, and by the time I finished reading it, my hands had gone cold.Blacklisted from any hockey activity with immediate effect. Three months of mandated community service, alongside Tiffany and the other students who took part in it. A formal public apology is to be broadcast through the school’s official channels for the entire student body.I sat with my phone in my hand for a long time after that, not moving.By two in the afternoon, the news had already crossed every group chat on campus. I knew because my phone had gone almost completely silent. Teammates who used to text me first about everything weren’t texting at all. Guys who had followed my lead in the locker room for three years suddenly had nothing to say to me.The worst part came at four.A message from one of the scouts my father had personally introduced me to last season. Disappointing to hear about the situation. We’ll be reassessing our interest.I stared at that messa

  • Faking it with the Hockey Bad Boy   Chapter 152: That should have been me.

    Trey’s POVI woke up the morning after Tiffany’s verdict feeling very good, for the first time in weeks, because everything has finally been settled.She had taken the fall. My name had stayed clean through the entire hearing. I stood in front of my bedroom mirror, buttoning my Ice Hounds jacket with a confidence I hadn't felt in a long time. One more game. That was all I needed.The moment I stepped onto the walkway leading toward the athletics building, something felt...off.Conversations stopped as I walked by. Two freshmen from the team whispered to each other before quickly looking away when I caught them staring.My grip tightened around my bag.What now?Then I saw Hazel crossing the courtyard with Jaxon beside her. For a second, everything else disappeared.She looked different because she no longer carried herself like someone waiting for permission to exist.Jaxon said something that made her smile faintly. It wasn't a big smile, just enough to soften the exhaustion that ha

  • Faking it with the Hockey Bad Boy   Chapter 151: It is over

    Tiffany’s POVI told myself, walking into the hearing room that morning, that everything will be sorted out. Daddy had made a few calls and even if Hazel had refused to withdraw the petition, she would just be wasting her time.I had told myself that every day for the past two weeks. I had spent almost a year building my reputation and even from my former school before I transferred here. That would mean something right. I was not about to lose all of it over a dorm room incident.The hearing room felt different the moment I sat down.It wasn’t just the five board members behind the long table, the same faces from the previous hearing. There were more people present this time, administrative staff at the back, a note-taker I hadn’t seen before, a stack of folders in front of the Dean considerably thicker than the last session’s.“Before we proceed to the matter of the dormitory incident, the board would like to address several additional statements that have come forward over the past

  • Faking it with the Hockey Bad Boy   Chapter 150: Losing it

    Rivers’ POV The stack of papers on my desk had grown over the past week into something I no longer wanted to look at directly.Legal correspondence from the university's general counsel. A formal request for documentation related to the dorm incident. A note from the board's office indicated that the scope of the investigation had been expanded pending further review.For years, I had been the man who controlled the pace of every crisis that touched my family. I anticipated problems before they fully formed. I managed outcomes quietly, efficiently, without anyone noticing the hand that had shaped them.Now everything was moving faster than I could direct it.I told myself, for the umpteenth time that day, that Hazel couldn't possibly know. If she had found what I feared she'd found, she would have confronted me directly. She had never been a person who sat on things. But then I remembered the last breakfast we had. The way she had looked at me when I asked about the study. Why? Is s

  • Faking it with the Hockey Bad Boy   Chapter 149: Finding the truth

    Hazel’s POVThe drive back to Jaxon’s apartment was quiet. When we got back, I sat on the edge of Jaxon’s couch with my knees pulled up and stared at nothing in particular.“For weeks, I thought finding the truth would fix something. That if I just got enough proof, enough documents, everything would finally make sense.” I shook my head slowly. “Now I have a billionaire telling me he thinks I’m his dead daughter, and I feel less like myself than I have in my entire life.”Jaxon sat down beside me, close enough that his shoulder was against mine. “Everything is starting to make sense.”“Is it? Because nothing about this makes sense to me. If Rebecca Sterling is who I was born as, then who is Hazel? Was Hazel ever even real, or was she just a name someone gave me?”“Hazel is real, Hazel is the person sitting next to me right now.”“That’s not the answer.”“It’s the only answer I have, and I think it’s the right one. A name doesn’t erase eighteen years of life, Hazel. Rebecca might be wh

    Hazel’s POVThe arena was packed to the brim as everyone gathered to watch the first official game that’d kick-start the season this night.The stands were a sea of moving colours, painted faces and min-flags raised high up in the air. Pom-poms blurred in the corner of my vision from the chair squa

    Jaxon’s POV“This isn’t fair.”The words came out rough, torn straight from my throat, but I didn’t take them back. My chest felt like it was on fire, like someone had reached inside and was strangling my heart with both hands.“You can’t just leave like this, Hazel.”But she wouldn’t even look at
