August's POV

I pulled into the rink parking lot and cut the engine, then just sat there with my hands resting on the steering wheel. The building looked the same as it always did, with its frosted windows. Nothing about it warned me that walking inside would feel like stepping into a firing line.

I could already see the looks that I'd get, all the whispers that I would hear. Every move I made would be watched too closely. For a second or two, the idea of driving away crossed my mind. Just tur

    Dona's POVThe very next day found Piper and I in her car. I stared at the building in front of us, then turned to Piper with the flattest expression I could manage. "Pipes, This is the School of Communication and Media building.""Yup," Piper said cheerfully."The building where they teach journalism, broadcasting, all that stuff.""That's the one."I threw my hands up in frustration. "I thought you were bringing me somewhere we could actually figure out what happened with the leaked video. You know, something useful?""Yeah?" Piper shrugged flippantly. "That's exactly why we're here.""Oh, my God!" I dropped my head into my hands and groaned. "Piper, I have other stuff to figure out, like that envelope I found at my mum's...""I know, I know.""Please tell me you have something good. Because I'm supposed to be at the hockey scrimmage right now.""Oh?" She turned to me with a wicked grin. "I thought you didn't like hockey.""I don't.""Then why do you care about missing it?" Her gri

    August's POVAfter Coach walked away, I found the nearest chair and dropped into it. My head fell into my hands and I pressed my palms against my eyes until I started to see spots. See me on Monday...Was Coach going to tell me the scouts had written me off completely? Probably that they'd seen the suspension and decided I wasn't worth the risk? Or maybe they'd watched the team fall apart without me and blamed me for it anyway.If that was the case, why couldn't he just tell me right now?The questions wouldn't stop circling. Every possible answer felt much scarier than the last.In that spot, I heard very loud, obnoxious laughter that I recognized immediately. Everett and his crew were somewhere behind me, probably still sitting in their section. I didn't turn around. I kept my head down and my teeth gritted, forcing myself to breathe calmly. I knew that they wanted a reaction, possibly so they could record it and spread it all over campus like someone spread the last video.I wasn'

    August's POV I probably shouldn't have come. I was sitting in one of the chairs at the rink, dreading what my teammates would say when they saw me. I was suspended, so I still couldn't play. I'd even gone back to Dr. Henderson's office this morning to beg her one more time, but she'd given me the coldest shoulder I'd ever received. The scrimmage was happening away, not at home, so I'd had to drive almost two hours out of Tallahassee just to get here. And now, I was regretting it. I looked around. As promised, Everett and his entire motley crew from Kaiser University were here to taunt us. They were sitting a few rows to the left, and Everett was shooting me taunting looks. For a moment, I wondered if he was the one who'd taken that video of Dona and I; it was just the kind of messed-up thing that he'd do. The thought made me furious again, I managed to stay composed and ignore him. Meanwhile, Atlanta Northern Tech was already prepped and warming up on the ice, but FSU's team was

    August's POV I got to my hotel and headed straight for the suite. I quickly unlocked the door. When I stepped inside, I found Dona sitting on the couch, cross-legged and looking dejected. Piper was walking around the suite, admiring the French windows and how they overlooked our part of Florida. When Piper saw me, she stopped and glared at me. "How the hell can you afford to stay here? I didn't get a proper look the last time I came." She moved from the kitchen to the bedrooms, then to the bar, touching everything like she was inspecting displays a museum. I raised an eyebrow. "Piper, if you're trying to case the place for a robbery, you're doing a very terrible job." "Ah ha!" She curled her lips in disgust. "There's a reason I never liked you in the first place." I ignored her and went straight to Dona, sat beside her on the couch and stared at her face. She didn't say anything, but there was a look of hopelessness in her eyes that left me feeling empty. It hurt to see that muc

    August's POVI stood in front of the Athletic Director's office door, staring at the nameplate. My hand hovered near the wood, but I couldn't bring myself to knock. Every part of me wanted to turn around and walk away and pretend the email had never come. But I couldn't do that.I finally summoned the courage and knocked twice."Come in," a voice called from inside.I pushed the door open and stepped in. The Athletic Director sat behind a large desk, her hands folded neatly in front of her. She was a Black woman in her middle age, with graying hair pulled back into a neat bun and a calm smile on her face. The plaque on her desk read: Dr. L. Henderson, Athletic Director."Mr. Reynolds," she greeted warmly. "Please, sit down."I sat, gripping the armrests of the chair nervously.She leaned back in her seat and that smile stayed plastered on her face. "I've been following your progress this season. You're quite the star player. Your stats are impressive, especially for a transfer student

    Dona's POV Piper continued eating in silence for a few minutes, chewing aggressively like she was taking her frustration out on the food. Then she suddenly gave a start, as if she'd just remembered something important. "Oh, oh!" She turned to me. "My mom called yesterday, and she told me to tell you she went to see your mum." I straightened immediately. "What? She went eventually? Tell me everything." Piper set her fork down and wiped her mouth. "She said she went to speak to your mom herself. When she got there, your mom was very much on edge and jumpy, moving around a lot...." I nodded, remembering how she was the last time I'd been to the house. "Then she said your mom was doing a lot of unnecessary cooking too." I sighed. "My mom likes to cook when she's stressed. It's how she copes." "That's what my mom thought too." Piper nodded. "But your mom kept saying everything was fine, and Peter was treating her well. She even said she was worried about you leaving the house becau

    Dona's POV Dragging myself into the lecture hall after two straight classes felt like wading through cement. Piper, of course, looked like she had just stepped out of a fashion catalog instead of back-to-back lectures. She bounced along beside me with her laptop tucked under her arm, humming like

    Dona's POV I pushed my laptop away once Piper left three hours later. We had actually gotten a lot done on our Psychology of Gender project, but my brain wasn’t on the textbook anymore. Not with the image of August yanking me behind a wall earlier today replaying in my head. And worse was the sigh

    August’s POV My father was a full mask-on villain, and the worst part was that everyone else could not see it. They were all blind, every single one of them. Everyone was eating out of his palm, and I could tell that he was enjoying it. Angrily, I pushed my father away and straightened my shirt.

    Dona's POV August was frozen to the spot by his father's words. At that point, I was ready as anything else for both men to trade blows. "I know that this is a bad time, but can both of you just chill out for a second?" My mother intervened, placing her hands akimbo. "Calm down, Peter. Please."
