Chapter five

Samantha's pov.

No.

He's bluffing, they wouldn't.

Not while I was seated there.

“Jenny, you don't mind, do you?” Adrian gruffed.

What the fuck?

It was the same blonde that screamed her throat out when I walked in on them.

Now she's cool with this?

I watched as she kissed his neck and bit the lobe of his ears softly.

“Ohh Adrian, I don't mind at all.” She cooed.

I jerked from the bed, I wasn't going to take anymore of this.

“Where are you going Donovan? Don't you want to watch?” Adrian asked.

I heard the girl burst into snickers as I slammed the door shut behind me.

They think they can make a fool of me, I'll show them

I stormed over to the dorm supervisor's room which was also along the hall.

Two soft knocks was all it took to get his attention.

His door swung open and I had to avert my eyes from his banana boxers.

Geez can the guys in this dorm put on some clothes for once.

“What do you want Samuel, I am busy.”

‘busy doing what?’ I almost barked.

I swallowed the rude words and composed myself.

“I've come to make a report.”

The supervisor sucked his teeth and stepped out 

“If this is about changing rooms with Volkov, I already told you it can't happen.”

What?

So, Samuel has been making complaints before.

I shook my head gently.

“It's not that, but Adrian snuck a girl into the room, which is against the dorm rules, right?”

His eyes shone.

“Yes it is, lead the way.”

A wave of adrenaline flooded through my veins as I walked back, all smiles.

“They are in there.” I pointed at the door with a a mischievous grin.

Mr McLaren slapped the door so hard it drew the attention of the other boys from their rooms.

“Adrian Volkov, I know you are in there, open the door now.” 

Inside was quiet, suspiciously quiet for my liking.

Mr McLaren raised his hands for another round of ramming.

The door locks clicked and open.

Adrian looked normal, even his hair was well arranged.

I followed Mr McLaren inside.

“How many times have I told you not to sneak Jenny in here?”

There was no sign of Jenny, Adrian's bed looked like no one has been on it.

It can't be, I left the two of them in the room.

Adrian ran a hand through his thick brown hair, his expression really calm

“Look around me McLaren, she isn't here.”

If that's true and Jenny escaped, then I am in serious trouble for disturbing me Mr McLaren.

Mr McLaren let out one long heavy breath.

“Jenny, I know you're in there, come out.”

A rustle came from the wardrobe, then a squeak.

Damn, she hid in there.

McLaren turned to face Adrian, he still appeared calm.

“You know the consequences Adrian, no girls allowed in the boys dorm.”

“Yeah yeah, I hear you.”

“Bathroom duty, a week.” McLaren said before leaving.

Dangerous silence weighed in the room after McLaren left.

Other guys stood by the door of our room observing the scene.

I overheard one of them say.

“Wow, Samuel actually did it. He's going to be so cooked.”

What was that supposed to mean?

I only reported something that made me uncomfortable.

Anybody in my shoes would have done the same thing.

“I bet he's not going to last the night.” The guy added.

“Let's give him a full day.” Another stated.

What made me most uncomfortable was Adrian's calm reaction.

His eyes rose above me and the guys scattered at once.

His gaze came back to me

“I warned you to stick to the rules.” 

My shoulder squared as I responded.

“And I told you I won't follow your damn rules.” 

His eyes twinkled, or did I catch something else.

“Okay.”

That was all, no insult, no threats.

Just a simple okay, and he was back on his bed scrolling through his phone.

That night, Adrian did not leave the room, he slept with his back turned to me.

Just that sense of being attacked kept me from sleeping.

My eyes were focused on his back, in case he decides to make a move.

“There's no point in staying awake, you won't see me coming.”

I stifled a gasp, he knew I was watching, which means he wasn't asleep yet

For the next few hours, I strained to stay awake and didn't even know when I eventually fell asleep.

I jumped out of bed with such quickness.

Adrian wasn't in the room, he must have gone to the locker room already.

Still, I can't let my guard down.

I went to the locker room as well, but I was already dressed.

To prevent what happened before from happening again.

The locker room was empty, by this time yesterday there was already a number of guys in here.

Something's not right.

My locker was open and when I looked in my heart sank.

Gear was trashed and torn, oil paint slipped out of my locker a volcano.

I fought back the urge not to burst into tears

Everywhere was messed up.

The guys were already gathered at the entrance, laughing and pointing at me.

“What's the meaning of this?” The coach roared.

I tried to explain that it wasn't me, he would have none of it.

“Save your explanations and clean this place before joining practice.”

Fuck, I don't even know where to begin.

This was all Adrian's doing, I know it was him.

“Chop chop Donovan, you don't want to be late for practice.” 

Hearing his voice only made me rile up more.

My feet swept through the oil paint, o didn't mind the slippery feeling.

I stopped right in front of Adrian.

“You did this.” I charged.

There was a smug smile on his face

“Prove it.”

“You think this is funny right? You can't even get anything done without playing dirty. Do I scare you that much.”

“Ha ha, very funny Donovan. I like that you dream big.”

I shook my head, refusing to back down.

“That's the only reason you had the guys come at me on the rink. You see me as a threat.”

I don't know where this was coming from, but I was overflowing with enormous courage.

“Please, the last person that can ever threaten me is a Donovan.” He scoffed.

“How about a challenge.” 

That got everyone's attention.

Adrian leaned against the wall.

“I love challenges, I haven't had one since forever.”

This was my chance.

“Good, I get better than you in hockey and you step down as captain of the team.”
