KOL

It was becoming impossible to ignore: Diego Alvarez was the primary reason Kol was actually surviving Physics.

Nearly three weeks had passed since that blurred night at the Duplex, and in that time, the star captain of the Austin Wolves had become a permanent fixture at Kol's table in the Austin State Library. Diego was a surprisingly solid study partner. He was brilliant in a way that felt effortless—which was frankly infuriating—and Kol had managed to pull an A on his last midterm because

    DIEGO“Wait, you’re taking him where?”Isabella was leaning against my doorframe, judging my outfit while I finished getting ready for my night with Kol. “Dinner and a movie,” I grunted, focused on the mirror as I tamed my hair.“How original.” Isabella snorted, checking her manicure.I turned, narrowing my eyes. “Look, Kol isn’t like the usual guys I hang out with. I have to actually court him if I want him to fall for this.”Isabella held up her hands in mock surrender, a smirk playing on her lips. “You don’t have to white-knight for him. It’s just hilarious to see the ‘Ice King’ actually putting in effort like he gives a damn.”“I’m doing this for the plan, remember?” I reminded her sharply.Rolling her eyes, she countered, “You’re doing it for yourself, too. If the only way to get him back in your bed is to buy him a steak first, you’ll do it.”“Yeah, whatever.” I turned back to the reflection. For some reason, I didn't like the way Isabella talked about Kol—like his standards wer

    Diego let out a huff. “Valeria hasn’t seen what I have on the ice. You think this is bad? I’ve seen teammates lose their breakfast mid-game. Vomit actually bounces off the rink if it's cold enough.”The mental image sent Kol back over the toilet. Diego sat there patiently, silent and steady until the bout passed. After Kol flushed and wiped his mouth, he muttered, “You don't have to stay. We aren't friends.”Diego’s expression tightened for a split second, and Kol feared he’d finally pushed too far. “Aren't we?” Diego asked, that teasing, mischievous tilt returning to his lips. “I don't spend my Saturday afternoons in a library for just anyone, Kol.”“I guess that’s fair.” Kol ran a hand through his damp hair, too exhausted to keep up the biting banter. “I just thought... I thought you hated me.”Diego raised a brow. “Are you for real? You’re the one who spent weeks telling me to go away, remember?”“Yeah, but...” Kol looked down at his hands. “I only pushed you away because you were

    KOLIt was becoming impossible to ignore: Diego Alvarez was the primary reason Kol was actually surviving Physics.Nearly three weeks had passed since that blurred night at the Duplex, and in that time, the star captain of the Austin Wolves had become a permanent fixture at Kol's table in the Austin State Library. Diego was a surprisingly solid study partner. He was brilliant in a way that felt effortless—which was frankly infuriating—and Kol had managed to pull an A on his last midterm because of him. Since math had always been Kol's Achilles' heel, he’d practically swallowed his pride to ask Diego to keep the sessions going. To his shock, Diego hadn’t missed a single one of their "library dates."Kol knew they weren't actual dates. But Diego was the one who had used the word first, and the label had stuck in the back of Kol's mind. After all, what was a date if not two people choosing to occupy the same space? Of course, dates usually involved romance. What Kol felt for Diego was...

    DIEGO"I secured the digits!" I declare, stepping through the threshold of the Alvarez Residence.Isabella doesn't even bother looking up from her phone. "Am I supposed to give you a standing ovation?"I feel the wind leave my sails. "I thought it was a solid hustle, yeah." Pinning down Kol’s contact information was an uphill battle. Usually, guys are falling over themselves if I show a shred of interest. "Kol despises me, Isabella. Did you factor that in?""No, he doesn't." she says, rolling her eyes. "He literally slept with you.""First off, hate-tension is a real thing. Second, he had no clue it was me. Third—"Isabella cuts me off with a sharp look. "How could he not know? You not recognizing him is standard—you're a guy, and guys are oblivious. But I expected him to be more observant.""He wasn't wearing his glasses! He’s basically blind without them!" I sputter. "And third, he keeps telling me to get lost. He hasn't moved past what we did in high school. He truly hates me.""Fu

    Isabella,” Diego said, his voice dropping an octave as he stared at the screen. “I already slept with him.”Isabella froze, her green juice halfway to her lips. “What? You’ve already been in his bed? How did you not realize it was the same guy?”Diego ran a hand through his hair, pacing the kitchen. “It was last night. The Duplex was dark, the music was loud... and he wasn’t wearing those birth-control-glasses. I didn’t recognize him without them. And he looked…” He trailed off, the memory of Kol’s lean, dancer's frame moving under him flashing through his mind. “He looked incredible, Isabella. Nothing like the scrawny kid from high school.”Isabella’s shock morphed into a sharp, predatory grin. “Actually? This is perfect. We can work with this.” She nodded to herself, her mind already spinning a web. “You already know the chemistry is there. Think of it as a bonus—a hot guy you can have on tap whenever you want. That’s all a partner is at the end of the day.”Diego recoiled, his brow

    The rest of the session proceeded with a fluid rhythm. Kol guided the children through a new sequence for their upcoming showcase at the Sunrise Dance Studio, watching with a sense of pride as most of them mirrored his movements with eager precision. When the clock struck the hour, he had to clear the floor for the cheer squad, though several students lingered, reluctant to leave the magic of the music.Kol stayed behind for a few extra minutes to speak with the parents of a particularly gifted young boy. "Leo was exceptional today," Kol said, his voice warm."He told me he wants to be just like his teacher when he grows up," the father replied, and Kol felt a genuine tug at his heartstrings."That’s incredibly kind," Kol murmured, truly touched. He knelt to the boy's height, offering a encouraging smile. "If you keep practicing with that much heart, Leo, there’s nothing you can’t achieve. Remember that, okay?""I will, Mr. Reyes!" the boy chirped with a bright, gap-toothed grin."Oh,
