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 224: Secrets and warnings

    Jasper’s POVI looked down at the flier Sarah had given me, scanning through the university’s programs and the beautiful campus photos one more time before folding it carefully and tucking it into my pocket.“I’ll go through it later,” I told Sarah. “When I have more time to really think about it properly.”Sarah nodded, seeming satisfied with that answer. “Just promise me you’ll actually look at it and not just forget about it at the bottom of your pocket.”“I promise,” I said with a small smile.We sat there for a moment in comfortable silence, and then a question that had been nagging at me since yesterday suddenly came to the front of my mind.“Can I ask you something else?” I said.“Sure,” Sarah replied.“What kind of person is Tony?” I asked. “Like, really. I know he’s been at the center of everything that happened to you, but I don’t actually know him that well. What’s he like?”Sarah’s expression became thoughtful, her eyes distant like she was sorting through memories and try

  • My Bullies Are Twin Hockey Players   Chapter 223: New Horizons

    Jasper’s POVI woke up Sunday morning with a splitting headache, the result of barely sleeping while my mind ran circles trying to make sense of everything that had happened the night before.Xavier’s door was closed when I passed by his room, and I could hear him moving around inside. I thought about knocking, about trying again to get him to explain what was going on, but something told me he still wasn’t ready to talk.I headed downstairs and made myself some breakfast, checking my phone every few minutes to see if Tara had called or texted back. But there was nothing. I tried calling her one more time, but it went straight to voicemail. Either her phone was off or she’d blocked my number. The thought made my stomach twist uncomfortably.What had I done? What did she think I knew? And why wouldn’t she just tell me what was going on?Xavier came downstairs about an hour later, grabbed a water bottle from the fridge, and immediately headed back upstairs without even looking at me.

  • My Bullies Are Twin Hockey Players   Chapter 222: Confusion

    Jasper’s POVI walked out of Xavier’s room and quietly closed the door behind me, leaning against the hallway wall for a moment to collect my thoughts.Xavier was absolutely devastated. I’d never seen him like that before, so broken, so hopeless. Sure, we’d both been through our share of heartbreak and disappointment over the years, but this was different. This was deeper.The mysterious girlfriend, I thought to myself as I headed toward my own room. It had to be her. The girl Xavier had been so secretive about, the one he’d been in love with for months but wouldn’t tell me anything about. Something must have happened tonight. Maybe she broke up with him. Maybe she rejected him. Whatever it was, it had completely shattered him.I felt guilty for not being able to help more. But how could I help when Xavier wouldn’t even tell me who the girl was or what had actually happened? All I could do was be there for him and hope that was enough.I got ready for bed mechanically, my mind still o

  • My Bullies Are Twin Hockey Players   Chapter 221: Shattered

    Xavier’s POVThe moment the hotel room door slammed shut behind Tara, something inside me snapped.I grabbed the nearest thing I could find, a lamp on the bedside table and hurled it across the room. It shattered against the wall with a satisfying crash, but it didn’t make me feel any better.I swept everything off the desk in one violent motion. My hands found the chair, and I lifted it, smashing it against the ground over and over until one of the legs broke off. The sound of destruction filled the room, but it couldn’t drown out the memory of Tara’s face when she’d ripped off my mask.The betrayal in her eyes. The hurt. The anger.“I’ve lost her,” I said to the empty room, my voice breaking. “I’ve lost her forever.”I sank onto the edge of the bed, my head in my hands, trying to breathe through the pain crushing my chest. But then the anger surged back, hot and vicious.This was Jane’s fault.If Jane hadn’t followed me here, if she hadn’t called Tara over and over, if she hadn’t g

  • My Bullies Are Twin Hockey Players   Chapter 220: The mask falls

    Tara’s POVMy mind was spinning, trying to make sense of what Jane had just said. Room 247. That was this room. The room I was in right now with Jake.But that couldn’t be right. Jane must have made a mistake. She must have gotten the wrong room number.“Jane,” I said, my voice shaking slightly. “What room number did you say?”“247,” Jane repeated clearly. “I saw Xavier go into room 247. Tara, I’m not making this up. I followed him here because I needed to talk to him, and I saw him go into that exact room.”I looked around the hotel room, my eyes landing on the number on the back of the door. 247.My heart started pounding harder. This had to be a coincidence. It had to be.“Okay, so Xavier is in this hotel,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady. “That doesn’t mean anything. Maybe he’s in a different room on a different floor. Maybe you saw the number wrong.”“I didn’t see it wrong,” Jane insisted. “Tara, I can even describe what he’s wearing. A black jacket, dark jeans, and…..”Th

  • My Bullies Are Twin Hockey Players   Chapter 219: The unraveling

    Xavier’s POVI felt my jaw clench with irritation as Tara’s phone rang again. Jane had been calling all evening, over and over, completely disregarding the fact that Tara clearly didn’t want to talk. Who did that? Who kept calling someone repeatedly when they obviously weren’t answering?The selfishness of it made my blood boil. Couldn’t Jane understand that Tara had a life outside of their friendship? That maybe, just maybe, Tara was busy with something important?Like being here with me.But then Tara answered, and I tried to push down my annoyance. At least now Jane would say whatever she needed to say and leave us alone.“Jane, this better be important. Do you know what time it is?” Tara said, her voice sharp with irritation that mirrored my own feelings.I couldn’t hear what Jane was saying on the other end, just the muffled sound of her voice through the phone. Tara was sitting up now, the sheet wrapped around her, and I could see her expression changing as she listened.“What a
