LOGINSamantha's POV.“It has come to my attention the amount of dislike you all have towards each other, so I have come up with a solution.”I rolled my eyes as coach Stanley addressed us in the locker room.He could have sent this information to the hockey group. I missed an important class for this sad-ass meeting.“You will be paired in groups of twos. The pair that can't work together won't be playing in the next game.”A distorted murmur rose from the hockey players. Coach Stanley banged his fist against a locker.“Silence, that is my decision, and I don't care if you are a star player.” He roared as he glared at Adrian.“Or a rising rookie.” His cold stare was then directed to me.My eyes wavered, why did he have to look at me while talking?I wasn't the one that got in a fight.Well, it doesn't really seem like a bad idea. Adrian and Zeke will be able to sort out their differences.I am sure Adrian would not want to pass up an opportunity due to a little conflict.He had his hands
Samantha's POV.I sat across from coach Stanley in his little office. The place was quite cramped and stuffy.It was the first time I'd been in his office, and I never imagined it to be like this.“Tell me the truth Samuel, who threw the first punch?”My knuckles went white as I tightened them.If he'd asked who started it. Maybe I'd just say that it was Adrian.I still can't bring myself to mention any of their names.“You'd be held responsible if you don't tell me what really happened?”The fuck? Why should I be held responsible for being a witnessAdrian and Zeke are very much okay with telling what actually went down With a heavy sigh out of my chest, I told him everything that happened from start to finish.He drew in a long ragged breath, then said “you can leave now.”As I stepped out of his office, I came across the entire hockey team, waiting at the door of coach Stanley's office.They'd been eavesdropping.“Is it true? Zeke and Adrian fought because of you?”For people that
Samantha's POV“We'd be having some training outside, boys," Coach Stanley yelled.He has us outside at 5:30 in the morning in the chilly wind.We didn't even have our gear on. The cold bit into my skin, making me red in the face.Why does it have to be so early in the morning and outside, for that matter?“You boys know who we are up against next."He stopped in front of me like I was supposed to know them.“These aren't like the team that you played against previously. They are wolves and would feast on your tiny arm.”I felt the spittle from his mouth hit my face like a needle.“You all have to step up your asses and work harder than before. Am I clear?” “Yes coach.” We all roared in the cold morning.We ran laps around the field that morning until my legs began to quake.“What sort of training is this?” I panted when we had time to catch our breaths.“At this rate, we'd burn out before the game, how are we supposed to win then?”Zeke drew in a long breath and let out some cold a
Samantha's POV. Adrian chose to stay in the room with me instead of going to the gym.I was busy arranging the room and setting things in order. Adrian kept his eyes fixated on me as I moved around. It made me a little uncomfortable.I didn't want to have a conversation with him, or else I would have told him about the unnecessary stares.“I see no reason why you still have to lock your side of the wardrobe.” He beganJust when I thought I wouldn't have to talk to him.“I can do whatever I like to my corner. It's not affecting you, is it?”“Not at all, I'm just saying. I already know your real identity. There's no need to hide.”I turned to face him. He was wearing a tank top and grey jorts.Which fit nicely to his body.“What if you have friends over, and they decide to go through my things? I am a girl, as you know. I don't want anyone to go through my stuff.”“By friends, do you mean Jenny?”I looked up to meet his eyes, staring delicately.That bitch, “Yeah, Jenny. I'm sure you
Adrian's POV. Sometimes, Jenny can be a bit extra.The look on Donovan's face when the milkshake landed over her head. Even I didn't see that one coming.My major plan was to make her pay for the times she failed to listen to me.Use the opportunity I have to make her bend to my will. I gave Jenny a go-ahead too, but she just knows how to blow things up.“Adrian.” She tried to wriggle free.“That's enough, Jenny. You don't get to treat him or go close to him, understand?” I sneered through my teeth.She scoffed hotly, pushed past me and went to sit on a separate chair, far from mine.Zeke already handed Donovan a handkerchief.He cares an awful lot about her. It makes me begin to think if Zeke also knows.Was that why he came to check on her that night?I might not be the only one with her secret after all.The teacher finally walked in, and everyone took to their seats.His eyes scanned the class before finally resting on Donovan.“Samuel, go clean yourself up.” He mumbled somethin
Samantha's POV“Hell no, you are not going anywhere.”Zeke's hand was clasped around my wrist. Tension filled the classroom like a mist.Adrian only crossed his legs on the desk. A wicked smile played at the corner of his lips.“Donovan has the right to do what he wants.” He smirkedZeke stepped forward to Adrian, still holding tightly onto me.“What's all this bullshit, Adrian? I thought things were cool with you and Samuel.”“Things are cool. He just wants to help Jenny get a snack. How is that wrong?”“Well, he's not. And you can tell your girlfriend not to try this rubbish ever again.”I just stood there as both cousins went back and forth about me.“Erm, Zeke.” Sharon came from the corner.“I don't see anything wrong if Samuel wants to do it, right?”I rolled my eyes briefly. Of course she wanted me to do it. All her smiles and laughter at me were nothing but fake.Not like I had a choice, I dragged in a hot breath.Pried Zeke's fingers off my wrist.“It's not your fight, Zeke. I
