IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN Ninety-seven: Missing piece
Whitney's POVI spend the entire school day watching the clock instead of the whiteboard. Every lesson feels twice as long because I cannot stop thinking about Devin's phone call. I found the missing week, he had said. Those words keep repeating in my head until I can barely focus on anything else. The moment the final bell rings, I grab my bag and hurry toward the library, where we agreed to meet in one of the private study rooms. My heart is beating so fast that I almost expect to hear it echo through the hallway.When I open the study room door, Devin is already there. He sits quietly on a chair, his arms folded tightly across his chest. His expression is everything but relaxed. The large table is covered with printed photographs, copied documents, handwritten notes, and Devin's laptop. It looks less like a school project and more like detectives trying to solve a crime that happened years ago."I came as fast as I could,” I say as I walk towards them.Devin gives me a small nod."
IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN Ninety-Six: The sealed envelope
DEVIN.I cannot stop thinking about what Whitney told us yesterday. The moved notebook. The disappearing message. The man watching her from across the street. None of it feels random anymore. Every clue keeps pointing toward the same thing. Someone knows we are getting closer to the truth, and they are trying to scare us into giving up. That is exactly why I decide I cannot wait any longer.Instead of going home after school, I walk toward the old student activities building behind the gym. Most students never come here anymore because a newer office replaced it years ago. The windows are dusty, and the hallways smell like old paper and wood. I remember the elderly librarian once mentioning that some records were never moved when the school renovated the archives. It is a long shot, but right now every long shot matters.The front office is empty except for an old janitor pushing a mop across the floor. He looks up as I step inside."Can I help you?""I hope so," I say politely. "I'm
IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN Ninety-five: Someone is watching
WHITNEYThe loud crash at the arena stays in my head long after Carlos and I leave that evening. We search every hallway together, even checking the locker room and the equipment storage, but we find nothing except a fallen metal cart lying on its side. Carlos says it could have fallen by itself, but neither of us truly believes that. I keep looking over my shoulder as I walk home, unable to shake the feeling that someone must have been following us. Even after I lock my bedroom door that night, I cannot sleep because every small sound makes my heart race.The next morning, I decide I am letting my imagination get the better of me. I tell myself that I am only nervous because everything I believed has fallen apart. Before leaving for school, I hide my investigation notebook beneath a stack of old textbooks inside my desk drawer. I know exactly where I leave it because I carefully line up the books before closing the drawer. It makes me feel a little better, as if I have protected the
IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN Ninety-Four: No longer enemies
WHITNEY. The message from Whitney surprises me more than I want to admit."Can we meet after school? I want to compare what we've found."I read it twice before replying."The arena. After practice. The bleachers will be empty."She agrees almost immediately.The entire practice, I can barely focus. We are preparing for the regional tournament, and Coach keeps reminding us that every mistake matters. I do my best to stay locked in, but my mind keeps drifting back to Whitney. A few months ago, she wanted nothing more than to destroy me. Now she is choosing to meet me on her own. I never thought I would live long enough to see that happen.When practice ends, I wait in the empty arena.The lights above the ice shine brightly, making the rink look peaceful. The seats are empty, and the silence feels strange after hours of skates scraping across the ice. I place a folder on the bleachers and wait. A few minutes later, the doors open, and Whitney walks in carrying her backpack and a noteb
IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN Ninety-Three: The wrong question
DEVIN.I cannot stop thinking about the names Whitney found.Every volunteer who works beside Carlos and Jayden seems to disappear after the assault. Some transferred schools, some graduated early, and others vanished so completely that it feels like they never exist at all. That is not normal, and the more I think about it, the more I believe those students know something everyone else has forgotten—or has been forced to forget.After two days of sending messages, I finally get a reply. It comes from a former volunteer named Rachel.Her message is short."One hour. Small café near the train station. Don't bring anyone."My heart starts beating faster.I quickly text Whitney."I found someone willing to talk. I’ll be meeting her privately.”She replies almost immediately."Be careful."I arrive at the café fifteen minutes early.The place is quiet, with only a few customers drinking coffee while soft music plays in the background. Every time the door opens, I look up. I expect someone
IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN Ninety-Two: Disappearing Volunteers
WHITNEY.I spread everything across my bedroom floor again.Photographs cover one side of the room. Newspaper articles sit beside old event programs, while my notebooks are filled with dates, names, and questions. Looking at everything together feels overwhelming, but I know I cannot stop now. Every answer I find only leads to another mystery, and somehow I feel closer to the truth than ever before.I sit cross-legged on the carpet with a pencil in my hand.Instead of looking at Carlos or Jayden this time, I focus on everyone around them. Every photograph has dozens of faces. Every event schedule has long lists of student volunteers. I tell myself that maybe I have been staring at the wrong people all along."What am I missing?" I ask myself.For nearly an hour, I circle names and draw lines between different events. Then I suddenly stop as I make an observation. The same set of names keep appearing—not once, not twice, but over and over again.I lean closer to one of the photographs.

I shake my head in disappointment as I listen to my mother speak on the other end of the phone. She sounds genuinely worried.She's relaying everything Ava told her about what’s happened to us in the last two weeks.Down to the part where we went to Carl's house for revenge for Jayden. Can you beli

IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN Six — Still trapped in a childhood trauma
Gosh, I hate myself for this.I hate how much his intoxicating presence is affecting me right now.Against my will, my gaze lowers with dread as I'm unable to look him in the eyes anymore. My knees weaken as my mind replays the nightmare I had of Carl having his fingers scissoring me open.How I mo

"They're lying to you... Don't listen to them!" I scream at the top of my lungs as I approach the receptionist with fright.Considering my unexpected outburst and the way she's staring at me with confusion right now, she probably thinks I've lost it.Concern lines her brows as she takes me in. "Exc
