The key felt cold against my palm, but my skin was burning. Everything Blake had just told us kept replaying in my mind. Ethan had been alive three days after the championship. He had been locked inside room 217, and somehow, he had known my name, my missing memories, and the secret my mother had spent years hiding from me. I wanted answers, but every answer seemed to open another door to something worse. My hands were still trembling when Jace reached for them and gently closed his fingers aro

  • My Basketball Rival is my Roommate    CHAPTER 59: THE FIFTH PARTICIPANT

    My name remained on the screen. CARTER. For several seconds, I couldn’t understand what I was seeing. I had expected another secret relative, another university official, or perhaps someone we had trusted without knowing their true identity. I had never expected the system to identify me as one of the five people involved in the original incident. I pointed at the screen with a trembling hand. That’s a mistake. Elias didn’t answer. I turned toward him. Tell me it’s a mistake! He looked at the screen, his face drained of color. The system is identifying participants, not necessarily people who designed or authorized the procedure. I stared at him. I was eight years old. I know. Then what could I possibly have done? Nobody answered. My mother tightened her grip on my arm, but I pulled away and stepped toward the terminal. I needed to see the complete record. I needed something that made sense because I couldn’t keep living in a world where every new discovery made me questio

  • My Basketball Rival is my Roommate    CHAPTER 58: THE ORDER THEY REVERSED

    Someone changed the order after I signed it. Jace’s words hung between us, but they didn’t erase what I had seen on the screen. His name was still attached to the authorization record. The video still showed him accepting the black card from Adrian Vale. And although he claimed he had used it to restore my memories, the system had recorded his approval for the procedure that erased them. I wanted to believe him. God, I wanted to. But wanting something to be true didn’t make it true. How do you know? I asked. Jace rubbed his palms against his jeans, his breathing uneven. I remember the screen. It had two options, just like the one we saw earlier. Restore and seal. Vale told me that if I chose restoration, you would remember everything, including what happened to your mother. He said if I chose to seal your memories, you would forget the incident and be safe. And you chose restoration? He nodded. I didn’t trust him. You were terrified, Carter. You kept asking me to help you reme

  • My Basketball Rival is my Roommate    CHAPTER 57: THE SIGNATURE HE COULDN’T REMEMBER

    Jace Anderson. His name stared back at me from the screen, beneath the words SECONDARY AUTHORIZATION — CONFIRMED. I read it again, hoping the letters would rearrange themselves into something else. Maybe the system had confused him with someone who shared his name. Maybe someone had forged his signature, just as they had manipulated so many other records. There had to be an explanation that didn’t involve the boy I loved agreeing to erase my memories. But the system displayed his name without hesitation. I looked at him. Tell me that’s not yours. Jace didn’t answer. My chest tightened painfully. Jace, look at me. He slowly lifted his eyes. I don’t know why my name is there. You keep saying that. Because I don’t remember! His voice echoed through the room. He immediately lowered it, dragging a trembling hand through his hair. I’m trying, Carter. I swear I’m trying to remember what happened that night, but every time I get close, there’s nothing. It’s like someone cut those m

  • My Basketball Rival is my Roommate    CHAPTER 56: THE CHOICE I MADE

    I stared at my mother, certain I had misunderstood her. I was the one who asked them to begin the procedure? The words sounded ridiculous. Seven months ago, someone had taken my memories, falsified my records, and turned my life into a collection of secrets. I had spent weeks trying to discover who was responsible. Now my mother was telling me I had willingly agreed to the very thing I believed had been done to me. No, I whispered. I wouldn’t have done that. My mother reached for my hand, but I pulled it away before she could touch me. Don’t. You don’t get to tell me what I did when none of you will tell me why I did it. Her eyes filled with tears. I know how it sounds. Then explain it! My voice cracked against the walls. I looked at Elias, then Jace, but neither of them offered an answer. Jace seemed barely able to stand. His eyes remained fixed on me, and the guilt on his face made me wonder whether he remembered more than he was willing to admit. I turned toward the screen

  • My Basketball Rival is my Roommate    CHAPTER 55: THE SIX MINUTES I LOST

    Jace stepped away from me as though my touch had suddenly become dangerous. I stood frozen, watching him struggle to breathe. The emergency lights painted his face in pale red, making him look like a stranger. I had seen him angry, jealous, frightened, and heartbroken, but I had never seen him look at me with that kind of terror. Not terror of what someone might do to him. Terror of what he might have done to me. Jace, I whispered. What happened during those six minutes? He shook his head, but the movement was weak. I don’t know. Adrian Vale’s voice crackled through the speakers again. You do know, Jace. You have always known. You simply convinced yourself that forgetting was the same as being innocent. Jace’s jaw tightened. Shut up! His shout echoed through the room, but Vale only laughed softly. Ask him about the syringe. Ask him why Carter was begging him to stop. Ask him who held the door closed while the procedure began. My heart seemed to stop. I looked at Jace. A sy

  • My Basketball Rival is my Roommate    CHAPTER 54: WHAT I WOULD BECOME

    For a moment, I forgot how to breathe. Elias Ward stood beside the door as though he had every right to be there. His coat was neatly buttoned, his expression calm, and his eyes carried the same familiar warmth I remembered from childhood. He had once been the man who brought me gifts on my birthday, sat beside me when I couldn’t sleep, and promised my mother that he would always look after me. Now he was telling me that someone had ordered Jace to kill me because of what I might become. I stared at him. What does that mean? Elias glanced at my mother before returning his attention to me. It means your memories are not the only thing they took from you. My stomach tightened. Stop speaking in riddles. What would I become? Something they couldn’t control. Jace stepped forward, his shoulders tense. You knew about the directive? Elias studied him for a moment. I knew it existed. You knew I was supposed to kill Carter? The question came out so sharply that even I flinched. Elias
