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.

    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.

  • IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN   Ninety-One: More than a captain

    CARLOS.The captain's letter is back on my jersey.A few weeks ago, I thought getting it back is all I wanted. Now that it finally happens, it does not feel the way I imagine. Coach quietly returns it before practice, only saying that the investigation proves I am not responsible for the leaked strategy. He does not make a big announcement. He simply places the jersey in my hands and nods once. I thank him, but when I walk into the locker room wearing it again, I can already feel the eyes on me.Some of the guys smile.Others look away.A few whisper to each other before I even reach my locker.One player mutters just loud enough for me to hear."So he's captain again."Another shrugs."Guess Coach forgot how badly we lost."I pretend not to hear them. Getting angry will only prove them right.Coach blows his whistle a few minutes later."On the ice! Let's move!"Everyone rushes out, but the tension follows us. Every pass feels sharper than usual. Every mistake earns an angry look.We

  • IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN   Ninety: Watching the lie

    WHITNEY.I never imagine that one day I will watch Jayden the way I once watched Carlos.The thought alone makes me feel like a terrible person. For years, Jayden is the one person I trust without question. I stand beside him through everything, and I promise myself I will always believe him. Now, every smile, every pause, and every answer makes me wonder if I am missing something important. The guilt sits heavily in my chest, but I cannot ignore the questions anymore.I decide to stop asking.Every time I confront him, he becomes emotional, and we end up talking about our feelings instead of the facts. That changes nothing. So instead, I simply watch. I carry a small notebook everywhere I go, writing down little things that seem strange. At first, I tell myself I am being paranoid, but after only a few days, the pages begin filling much faster than I expect.That afternoon, I meet Jayden at a restaurant near his place for lunch.He looks healthier every day. The bruises are almost go

  • IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN   Eighty - nine: Devin's disappearance

    DEVIN.I cannot stop thinking about the missing week.Every time I open my notebook, my eyes go back to the same empty space in the timeline. Somehow, those missing seven days seem heavier than everything else we have discovered over the past few months. The more I think about them, the more convinced I become that they hold the answer to everything.The next afternoon, I head back to the school archives.The old building is as quiet as ever. Dust floats through the sunlight coming in from the tall windows, and the smell of old paper fills the room. Most students never come here unless a teacher forces them to do research. That makes it the perfect place to keep searching without anyone paying attention to me.This time, I ignore the student files. I have already searched those too many times. Instead, I pull out maintenance records.Maybe someone repaired security cameras that week. Maybe a hallway closed for renovation. Maybe there is one tiny detail everyone overlooked.I flip thro

  • IN BED WITH THE RUTHLESS HOCKEY CAPTAIN   Eighty Eight: Unlikely partners

    CARLI notice the change in Whitney before anyone else does.She no longer crosses the hallway just to avoid walking past me. She does not glare at me like she wishes I would disappear. Instead, every time our eyes meet, she pauses for a second, almost like she is trying to solve a puzzle. There is still caution in her face, but the hatred that once burned so brightly has begun to fade. Somehow, that makes me even more nervous.More than once, I almost stop her , and I almost tell her everything I know.Every time, I remember the promise that has controlled my life for months. If I rush her now, she may think I am trying to manipulate her again. Worse, I could destroy the small amount of trust we have finally started building. So I keep my mouth shut and let her find the answers one piece at a time.Later that day, I tell myself that practice should help clear my head.Instead, it only fills it with more worries.Coach blows the whistle while we run drills, but I miss an easy pass bec

    "You came for revenge.
