Kiss her on thin Ice Chapter Twelve - Uninvited
Chapter Twelve - UninvitedNobody moves for a second. The whole crowd is just watching, phones already creeping up out of pockets because of course they are, because nothing happens in this town without someone filming it first.Maddox looks at Zane like he's trying to figure out if this is actually real. "You've got to be kidding me.""Wish I was." Zane's hand is still at my back, warm through the thin fabric of my dress, and I'm too rattled to shake it off. "You were saying something about her being a bad person? Go on. I want to hear this.""This isn't your business, Volkov.""Made it my business the second you cornered her in front of a crowd." Zane's voice doesn't rise. It doesn't need to. There's something about the flatness of it that makes people go quiet faster than yelling ever could. "Or is that your thing now. Ganging up on girls with an audience."A few people laugh, quick and nervous, and Maddox's jaw tightens in a way I recognize from years of dating him. He hates being
Kiss her on thin Ice Chapter Eleven - The Party
The East High exclusive party happens twice a year, hosted at whoever's parents happen to have the biggest house and the least interest in actually being home that weekend. This year it's at the Whitfield estate, and it's the kind of event that used to be mine by default, an invitation I never had to ask for because my name did the asking on my behalf.This year, I almost don't get one at all.It shows up two days before, slid under my locker door instead of mailed to my house like it used to be, no note, no fanfare, just proof that I still technically exist on the guest list even if my social standing has taken a nosedive since the breakup. I stare at it for a long moment before shoving it into my bag, unsure whether I even want to go.Zane, predictably, has other ideas.Zane: heard about the partyAva: how do you even hear things this fastZane: i have people. bring meI nearly drop my phone.Ava: absolutely notZane: why notAva: because it's an exclusive east rivers party, zane. w
Kiss her on thin Ice Chapter Ten - Damage Control
Chapter Ten - Damage ControlI don't sleep. Not really. I spend most of the night staring at my ceiling, replaying the sound of Maddox's voice in that hallway, cold and threatening in a way I've never associated with him before. Two years of dating someone and apparently I still didn't know what he sounded like when he thought no one who mattered was listening.By morning I've made a decision, even if I'm not entirely sure it's the right one.I find Freddy before homeroom, catching him at his locker before the halls fill up. He flinches when he sees me coming, folder practically forgotten in his bag, like he's spent the whole night regretting ever handing it over."I'm not giving this to anyone," I tell him quietly, holding up the folder just enough for him to recognize it before tucking it back into my bag. "I promise.""Then why do you still have it?"That's the question, isn't it. "Because I think you need it more than I do. Proof that you paid some of it back, or a plan to. Someth
Kiss her on thin Ice Chapter Nine - Cracks
Chapter Nine - CracksThe assembly fallout is instant and delicious in the worst possible way.By lunch, half the school is whispering about the mystery sponsor question, replaying the way Maddox's easy smile had frozen, the way he'd stumbled through some vague non-answer about "restructuring" before the principal mercifully moved things along. Nobody quite has the full story, but everyone senses there's a story to have, and that alone is enough to knock a little shine off his golden-boy armor.I should feel victorious. Instead I feel like I swallowed a rock.I find Freddy again after sixth period, tucked into the same corner by the equipment room, looking paler than usual, a folder clutched to his chest like it might combust."I got the numbers," he says quietly, glancing around like the hallway itself might report him. "I don't know why you want this stuff, but something feels off about it, Ava. Some of this doesn't add up. Like, at all."He hands me the folder, and I flip through i
Kiss her on thin Ice Chapter Eight - The Quest
Chapter Eight - The QuestMy phone buzzes against the bathroom counter while I'm doing my mascara, and I already know who it is before I look. Nobody else texts me this early. Nobody else has the audacity.Zane: morning princessI set the phone down and continue with my makeup like I didn't see it. It buzzes again almost immediately.Zane: i know you saw thatZane: your read receipts are onI curse under my breath and consider, briefly, turning off read receipts entirely, moving to another country, faking my own death. Anything to avoid whatever is coming next.Zane: don't ignore me. we both know how that endsThat's enough to make my stomach drop. I pick the phone back up, thumb hovering, torn between wanting to throw it across the room and knowing full well that ignoring him has consequences I can't afford. Not after last night. Not after the ice in his voice when he told me to try harder.Ava: what do you want. i'm getting ready for schoolZane: good. that's actually relevantZane:
Kiss her on thin Ice Chapter seven- Moonlight
“I'll see you tonight,” he says, already walking toward the far exit the one, I realise belatedly, that he clearly already knew existed. “Don't forget our deal, princess.”He disappears before I can throw something at him.I sit back down on the cold bleacher, pulling my knees to my chest, trying to remember how to breathe normally. My reputation is safe. For now.My peace of mind, unfortunately, is a different story entirely. I return to class after a while and powered through the day.Okay fine, maybe tolerated is the better word.I'm halfway through brushing my teeth when I hear it. A soft scrape against my window, like something dragging across glass. I freeze, toothbrush still in my mouth, and stare at the curtain like it's about to attack me.Then the window slides open.I nearly choke."Oh my god." I spit into the sink and spin around, heart hammering. "Are you insane?"Zane climbs through with the ease of someone who has clearly done this before, like my second floor window is
