Fake Smile

Jasper's POV

I couldn't concentrate on anything during chemistry test. Every few minutes, I found myself glancing toward the empty seat where Tara usually sat, half-expecting her to walk through the door with some wild excuse about oversleeping or car trouble. But the seat remained empty through first period, then second, then third.

By lunch, I was starting to feel... weird about it. Not guilty, exactly, but something I couldn't quite name. But I kept picturing Tara sitting on that bathroom floor in nothing but a towel, probably panicking about missing her chemistry test.

"You're being weird," Xavier said. "What's your problem?"

"Nothing," I said quickly. "Just wondering how long it will take her to get out."

Xavier rolled his eyes. "Who cares? She probably called a locksmith or something. The point is, she missed school, missed her test, and now everyone thinks she's a cheater who was too scared to show up. Mission accomplished."

He was right, of course. The plan had work

  • My Bullies Are Twin Hockey Players   Chapter 73: Confused 

    Tara’s POV Zoey opens the door, and I can see her face change from curiosity to surprise. She opens the door wider, and I see Jasper standing there.“We’re done cooking dinner,” Jasper says, looking past Zoey to where Jane and I are sitting. “You should all come downstairs and eat.”I’m completely shocked by this. It’s so unlike the twins to cook, let alone invite us to eat with them.“I’m not eating,” I tell him firmly, not looking directly at his face. I don’t trust this sudden change in behavior, and I definitely don’t want to spend more time around him than I have to.“Well, if you’re not eating, then your friends can come down and eat,” he says, and his voice sounds genuinely concerned, which confuses me even more.I expect Zoey and Jane to back me up, to tell him that if I’m not eating, then they’re not eating either. We’re supposed to stick together, right? But when I look at them, they’re exchanging these glances with each other, and I can see something in their eyes that I d

  • My Bullies Are Twin Hockey Players   Chapter 72: A sudden knock. 

    Tara’s POV Xavier and Jasper walk into my room with these fake smiles on their faces, and I immediately feel my stomach drop. They look way too happy about something, and I know it can’t be anything good for me.Zoey and Jane exchange these meaningful glances before staring at me, and I can see the worry written all over their faces. My expression must look completely disastrous right now because I feel like my world is falling apart.“Did your parents already call you?” Jasper asks with this innocent tone that doesn’t fool me for one second.“No, my parents didn’t call,” I lie, but my voice comes out shaky and unconvincing.“Then why do you look like someone just told you the worst news of your life?”I can feel my face getting hot with embarrassment and anger. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”“Stop lying, Tara,” Jasper says, and his voice sounds way too pleased. “Your face already told us everything. Your mom just called you and told you that you’ll be moving in with us on

  • My Bullies Are Twin Hockey Players   Chapter 71: Vacation suggestion 

    Tara’s POVThe three of us finally made it back to my house, and I feel so relieved to be in familiar surroundings again. My head is still pounding from whatever we drank last night, and I can tell that Zoey and Jane are feeling just as terrible as I am.We go straight to my room and just sit there for a few minutes, looking at each other. None of us really knows what to say about what happened. The whole situation with waking up at Tony’s house was so strange and embarrassing that we’re all still trying to process it.“I can’t believe we got that drunk,” Jane says finally, holding her head in her hands. “I feel like someone is hitting my brain with a hammer.”Zoey groans and lies down on my bed. “I feel like I’m going to throw up. This hangover is terrible.”I know exactly what they mean. My mouth feels dry, my head is throbbing, and I feel dizzy every time I move too quickly. “We need to make some hangover soup,” I tell them. “There should be ingredients in the kitchen downstairs.”

  • My Bullies Are Twin Hockey Players   Chapter 70: Glad. 

    Tara’s POVI look at my friends sitting on the floor of the room, and I know I have to tell them the truth. My heart is still beating fast from waking up in Tony’s place, and I can see the same confusion and worry in Zoey and Jane’s eyes.“There’s something I need to tell you guys,” I say, my voice still a bit shaky from everything that’s happened. “I saw Tony at the karaoke house yesterday.”Both Zoey's and Jane’s eyes widen, and they stare at me like I just told them I saw a ghost or something.“What do you mean you saw Tony?” Jane asks, sitting up straighter on the floor. “When? Where exactly?”I take a deep breath, trying to remember exactly what happened. “It was when I went outside to order the alcohol. I went to the front desk area, and that’s when I saw him. He was there with a man, and honestly, something seemed really wrong with Tony. The way he looked, everything about him seemed off.”Zoey looks shocked and a little bit angry. “Why didn’t you tell us this yesterday? Now we

  • My Bullies Are Twin Hockey Players   Chapter 69: Confused. 

    Tara’s POVThe first thing I notice when I wake up is that my head feels like someone is hitting it with a hammer. The pain is so intense that I can barely open my eyes properly. I try to move, but everything feels heavy and wrong.I force my eyes open slowly, blinking several times to try to focus. The light in the room is dim, but even that small amount makes my head hurt worse. I’m lying on what feels like a bed, but when I look around, nothing seems familiar at all.This is not my room at home. This is not the karaoke place. Where am I?I try to sit up, but the movement makes me feel dizzy and sick. I have to move very slowly, taking deep breaths to keep from throwing up. When I finally manage to sit up properly, I look around the room more carefully.The walls are a strange color that I don’t recognize, and there are posters and pictures that I’ve never seen before.Then I see Jane and Zoey, and my heart starts beating faster with panic. They’re both lying on the floor near the f

  • My Bullies Are Twin Hockey Players   Chapter 68: Karaoke night. 

    Tara’s POVI’m so excited as we walk into the karaoke place. This is exactly what I need after all the drama that’s been happening at home with the twins. Jane and Zoey are just as happy as I am, and we’re all giggling and talking loudly as we make our way to the reception desk.“We’d like to book a room for three people,” I tell the lady at the front desk, pulling out my wallet. She smiles at us and hands me a key card.“Room 15 is available. You have it for three hours,” she says. “Have fun, girls.”We make our way down the hallway, checking the room numbers until we find ours. I slide the key card and push open the door. The room is perfect, not too big, not too small, with a comfort
