I felt a soft hand press me down as I tried to sit up.

My cheeks puffed as I let out a long groan.

“Mom?” I mumbled.

My eyes scanned the familiar room. This wasn't my hotel room. I was back at home.

“How did I get here?”

Mom smiled down at me, but her eyes were dampened not only with tears but with sorrow as well.

The white cast that was wrapped around my leg made it look like I had a freak accident.

“Was it that bad?” I asked her.

    Samantha's POV.I sensed something was wrong with the way he was playing. I had no idea that it was the skate shoes.I shook off the thought. Maybe he's trying to let me win on purpose, when I get close enough to speak with him, he'll get an earful from meWe promised not to go easy on each other, and he's slacking on that promise.Next thing I knew, I rammed into him, and the blade of his shoe broke.Like, how in the world does that even happen? People rushed over on the ice at once. I saw his leg was twisted.My hand covered my mouth in horrific frenzy. His leg looked broken and I told him soI could not beat the painful expression that absorbed his beautiful face.The coach had some of the players carry him to the school's clinic.Before he joined them, he looked at me, then said“I guess you are the captain now.”What?That's not even my problem at the moment. Adrian just had an accident and he's talking about one stupid captain thingThe idea was to follow them to the school's cl

    Adrian's POV.There wasn't really much practice before the showdown between Donovan and me.I already told Pete and the rest of the teammates that she chose to play like they were playing in the tournament.No cheating; I want a fair game between the two of us.The morning of the game, I woke up to see that she was in the room as well.I had told Jenny not to spend the night with me.I'm taking Donovan on as a strong rival and won't be relaxed.She had been sleeping in Zeke's room all this time. I didn't like it, but there was nothing I could do or say.I caused it. I was too angry about the game. I wasn't in the mood to have a proper conversation with her.So, I did the one thing that would hurt her the most, let Jenny stay as long as she wanted.As I watched her sleep now, hands were underneath the pillow.Her face calm like that of a baby's, I couldn't help but feel guilty.She never wanted any of this, and I pushed her away.I didn't know when my hand reached out to push the lock

    Jenny's POVA soothing cold wind blew against the walls of the school's corridor. Everywhere was pitch black.Save for the light of the moon that seeped through some of the open windows.A leaf swayed through the openings and settled in the passageway.Not a single soul was seen moving around the school.The birds of the night chose to take a break and sleep, while the security men were too tired to keep patrolling.And I choose the particular night to carry out my one task that would destroy Samantha Donovan.With a flashlight placed securely on my head, I worked the doors open, and Kayla followed behind me.Her face was as white as a ghost. This wasn't something I planned to do on my own.I never had the chance to tell Zeke about this plan. The last time I headed for his room. Samantha went in and Adrian stepped out.It would have been foolish of me to try and meet with him again.Kayla screamed a high-pitched sound as a rat scurried between her legs.She fell to the ground, clutchi

    Zeke's POVWhatever Jenny had in mind to do or say to me, it won't be in my room.I still regret sleeping with her, for some unknown reasons.It kept disturbing my mind. I just hope this of hers will finally put a wedge between Samantha and Adrian.A knock on my door distracted me for a bit.There was no sound, no voice, so I thought it could be any of the boys. They always rap their knuckles against my door anytime they walk past.I sighed and turned the table light on so I could catch some reading before bedtime.The knock came again. My James tightened. If it were Jenny, she had better leave before someone sees her.I warned her not to come, is she deaf or what?It doesn't matter; she can knock all she wants. I won't open the door for her.The knocking persisted, and I couldn't hear it any longer. I reached for my headphones to block my ears instead.“Zeke, open the door.”My hands hung in the air with the headphones. That sounded like Adrian, at my door.Impossible.The headphone

    Jenny's POV.I have never had a more joyous morning. I was back in my room nowIt didn't matter if Adrian had his back turned at me all night, and his body stiffened at every touch from me.The fact that I get to sleep on the same bed as him most nights is enough for me to be happy.I didn't even mind that Kayla, my best friend and roommate, already pulled apart the curtains of our windows before the usual scheduled time.The warmth of the sun seeped through the windows and graced my skin.“Someone's in a good mood this morning.” Kayla sang.My eyes flipped open, how can I not be happy?That stupid pretender, Samantha or whatever she's called. Pretending to be a boy and all.I hate everything about her, and I just want to crush her so much, ruin her soul, so that she'll never show her face in Northbrook academy again.“Can you share what's making you glow with so much happiness this morning?”I pulled my legs up on the bed and hugged them like I always did with my pillow.If only she

He's like ten times better at hockey than me.Even though I have come a long way, it'll take a lot from me to just beat Adrian Volkov.I placed a hand to my forehead, as a worrisome groan escaped my lips God, I just hope this doesn't create a feud between us.
