Kiss her on thin Ice Chapter Sixty-Six- Burner
Chapter Sixty-Six- BurnerMy alarm goes off at six forty and I don't remember falling asleep.I lie there with my eyes on the ceiling. The sheet is twisted around my legs. My hand hurts, and for a second I can't think why, until I turn it over and see the faint pink flush across my palm. Slapping a person leaves a mark on you too. Nobody tells you that.My phone is on the pillow beside my head. I don't pick it up. I already know what's on it. It buzzed all night, face down on the nightstand, a low, angry insect sound that crawled through the dark until about three in the morning and then gave up.I get out of bed and stand under the shower until the water runs lukewarm.Mom is at the kitchen island when I come downstairs, both hands wrapped around a mug she isn't drinking from. She's still in her robe. Her hair isn't done. In seventeen years, I've seen my mother come downstairs without her hair done maybe four times, and every one of them was a bad day."Sit," she says."I'm not hungr
Kiss her on thin Ice Chapter Sixty Five - The Bad Guy II
Chapter Sixty-Five - The Bad Guy IIThen he turns and walks out of the room.They let me out through the main concourse.Reyes walks beside me, one hand not quite on my elbow, the other holding a clipboard. “We’ll need you at the station tomorrow with a parent. Nothing formal. Just a statement.”“I understand.”“Your mother’s been called.”“Of course she has.”The concourse is a slow river of people moving toward the exits. Students in navy and gold, students in black and silver, parents clutching coats, a few reporters holding phones at chest level. Everyone is talking in low, fast voices. The second I step out of the corridor, a bubble of silence ripples outward around me like a stone dropped in water.They know. Of course they know. Phones come up like a field of black flowers.I keep my chin high and walk.I pass Ricky with an ice pack on his eyebrow. I pass two girls from my squad who turn to each other and whisper. I pass Maddox, sitting on a bench with a towel pressed to his ch
Kiss her on thin Ice Chapter Sixty-Four- The Bad Guy
Chapter Sixty-Four- The Bad GuyMaddox's fist connects with a sound I'm going to hear in my sleep for weeks.It isn't loud. That's the strange part. It's a flat, dull crack, like a heavy book dropped on a tile floor, and it carries across the ice because for one whole second every other sound in the building has stopped. Zane's head snaps sideways. He doesn't have his helmet on. There is nothing between Maddox's knuckles and his jaw.He stands there with his face turned toward the visitor bench, lips slightly parted, like he's listening to something very far away.Then blood slides out of the corner of his mouth and drips onto the ice.One drop. Then another. Bright red on white, so bright it looks fake."Oh my god," Kenzie breathes beside me. Her fingers have wrapped around my sleeve and I haven't felt her do it.Zane turns his head back. He doesn't touch his mouth. He looks at Maddox the way you'd look at a stain you've decided to deal with later, and then he hits him.Once. A short
Kiss her on thin Ice Chapter Sixty-Three- Broken Sticks
Chapter Sixty-Three - Broken SticksWe hear it before we see it.A crash first, like someone dropped a drum kit down a flight of stairs. Then a roar from the far end of the arena that has nothing to do with hockey.Kenzie's head snaps toward the sound. "That's our side.""Come on."We run. My sneakers slap the concrete and her skates click behind me, and we burst out of the service tunnel into noise so loud it feels like walking into a wall. The third period is supposed to be starting. Nobody is on the ice. The resurfacer sits abandoned near the blue line with its engine still rumbling, and the entire West Rivers bench has spilled out onto the rubber mat in front of the penalty box.They're all holding something.Teddy Okafor, their goalie, stands at the front with his chest pads hanging off one arm. The foam has been slit open from collar to hem, and stuffing droops out of the cut like guts. Beside him, a defenseman named Luca holds two halves of a hockey stick, one in each fist, sta
Kiss her on thin Ice Chapter Sixty- Two Half time II
Chapter Sixty- Two Half time II"The text told me to stay away from Zane. It didn't tell me to stay away from the school. It didn't tell me to quit cheer or move to another city. It told me to stay away from him specifically." I take another step. "Then a picture arrives, and nobody posts it. If you want to ruin someone's life, you post the picture. You don't sit on it.""I'm not a detective, Ava, I can't help you with your theories.""I'm not done." I count it on my fingers. "Someone who cares about him. Someone who didn't want it blowing back on him. Someone who'd rather quietly scare me off than watch his reputation take a hit.""That could be anyone.""It's not anyone. It's you."She laughs. It's a bright, brittle sound that bounces off the cinderblock. "Wow. You really think you're the main character, don't you? Some random person takes a picture of you and it's automatically my fault?""Show me your phone.""No.""If it isn't you, there's nothing on it.""There's nothing on it t
Kiss her on thin Ice Chapter Sixty-One - Halftime
Chapter Sixty-One - HalftimeThe scoreboard above center ice says WEST 2, EAST 2, and there is one minute and twelve seconds left in the second period.I know the exact number because I haven't stopped looking at that clock for ten minutes. It's easier than looking at the ice. It's a lot easier than looking at my own squad."Pom-poms up," Coach Ellery calls from the end of the line. "Smile like you mean it, ladies. It's a tie game, not a funeral.""Feels like a funeral," Jade mutters."Smile, Jade."Jade smiles. It is the worst smile I have ever seen on a human face. She's standing three girls down from me with her shoulders angled the other way, which is how every girl in this line has been standing since Wednesday. Like I'm a draft from an open window. Like if they turn their bodies just right, they won't feel me.Coach put me on the left end tonight. She didn't explain. She pointed, I went, and Priya slid into the center spot where I've stood since sophomore year like it had her na
