~Arabella~

The following morning.

I walked into the academy with my head held high and my designer bag tucked into the crook of my arm. My loyal inner circle was also walking closely beside me. I was ready to forget yesterday’s cafeteria disaster and pretend that it had nothing on me.

Except, almost immediately, something felt wrong.

As we passed the courtyard lockers, students suddenly stopped talking.

They turned to stare at us, their eyes moving between me and their phones.

    ~Arabella~Noah reached the pool wall and pushed Grace toward the edge. “Grab her!” he shouted.One of the students nearby immediately pulled Grace out.I was still staring at Noah when he climbed out of the pool, water streaming from his hair and clothes. His eyes landed on me.For a second, neither of us said anything. Then his expression hardened. “You,” he said quietly.I lifted my chin. “What?”“You really thought that was a good idea?”I scoffed. “She deserved it.”Noah stared at me as if he couldn’t believe what he’d just heard. “You pushed her into a twenty-one-foot pool.”“She can swim!”“You know that’s a lie.”I rolled my eyes. “That’s not my problem.”Noah stepped toward me while I instinctively stepped back, but my heel landed on the wet tile. “Don’t come any closer,” I warned. He looked so scary now. I wondered if Grace was his girlfriend or something that he was acting all protective. But then he stopped and my breathing calmed down. However, his mouth curved into the

    ~Arabella~The following morning.I walked into the academy with my head held high and my designer bag tucked into the crook of my arm. My loyal inner circle was also walking closely beside me. I was ready to forget yesterday’s cafeteria disaster and pretend that it had nothing on me. Except, almost immediately, something felt wrong.As we passed the courtyard lockers, students suddenly stopped talking.They turned to stare at us, their eyes moving between me and their phones.A few steps later, the whispers turned into snickers, followed by open laughter.I frowned, my jaw tightening. “What is wrong with these peasants?” I hissed, looking around. “Why are they staring at us?”Before anyone could answer, Priya suddenly gasped. Her face went pale as she dropped her phone and grabbed her head. “Oh my God… guys. Don’t look. Don’t look right now!”Mia quickly picked up the phone, only for her eyes to widen in horror.A video was playing on the screen.There I was, running down the hallwa

  • My Hockey Ex Rigged the Dating Show?   121. Noah’s Immediate Comeback

    ~Arabella~At first, I thought it was just the carrier bag moving. Then the thick, scaly body slowly pushed its way through the opening.It suddenly felt so difficult to breathe. It was much bigger than I had imagined. The snake slid over the edge of the backpack and dropped onto the floor with a heavy thud.And suddenly, the cafeteria exploded.Students screamed and scrambled away from the tables, some nearly tripping over their own feet in their rush to get away.Chairs scraped violently across the floor as people shoved backward, while a few students actually climbed onto their seats, lifting their legs as if the snake could somehow reach them.Someone dropped a tray, sending plates and food crashing onto the floor.Another student screamed and grabbed her friend’s arm, dragging her toward the far end of the cafeteria. Within seconds, the noise became unbearable.Priya’s phone nearly slipped from her hand, but she caught it just in time.Her face had gone pale as she stared at th

  • My Hockey Ex Rigged the Dating Show?   120. The Initiation Ritual

    ~Arabella~The morning sun shone brightly over the academy courtyard, but I barely noticed it.I was still angry about what had happened the other day. Noah, the arrogant transfer student, had accidentally tripped and spilled an entire tray of sticky, greasy cafeteria food all over my clothes.That was embarrassing enough. But what made me even angrier was how he acted afterward.When he threw his jacket over my shoulders, he actually had the nerve to warn me to return it.Bring it back? To him? Please.As a sixteen-year-old sophomore who had ruled this school for years, I was not about to take orders from some new senior.I intentionally left his jacket crumpled at the bottom of my closet purely because I wanted to put the insolent newcomer firmly in his place.No one crossed me and got away with it. I needed to remind him exactly who owned this campus.By mid-morning, I had gathered my inner circle of sophomore elites in our usual secluded alcove. My girls were ready for action.Pri

  • My Hockey Ex Rigged the Dating Show?   119. Daddy is coming soon

    ~Kiara~Snow’s innocent question hung and pressed down on my chest until it was hard to breathe.“Where is daddy? You promised you were going to bring him home with you when you came back.”My heart shattered all over again. For a second, my mind scrambled for a lie which would becsomething soft and comforting to deflect the truth.But the memory of everything that had just happened, flashed through my mind. I couldn't do it anymore. I knew from bitter experience that the longer you hide behind a web of falsehoods, the deeper the hole you dig until you’re buried alive.I swallowed hard, blinking back the hot tears stinging my eyes, and gently brushed a soft lock of hair away from her pale forehead.“Baby... Mummy had to rush home very, very fast because you were sick,” I whispered, my voice thick with emotion. “When you get all better and strong again, I promise you... you’ll get to see him.”I paused, taking a shaky breath before deciding to give her a glimpse of the truth. “And you

  • My Hockey Ex Rigged the Dating Show?   118. Mummy…where is Daddy?

    ~Kiara~She glanced briefly toward the ICU doors before looking back at me. “I’ve met little Snow once or twice before. She’s such a sweet little girl, and I just wanted to help out however I could.”Something about the sincerity in her voice softened me, but the older-sister part of me still couldn’t stop asking questions.I tilted my head slightly and studied her face. “What about your parents? Don’t they mind you being out all night?”Lily bit her lip and shifted awkwardly from one foot to the other. “Ah… my parents are currently traveling out of state, so I’m staying at our house alone right now.”My eyebrows rose slightly at that answer, and I glanced at Elijah again.He suddenly looked even more uncomfortable, which only made my suspicion grow.Before I could ask anything else, my father gently cleared his throat, and Elijah quickly took the opportunity to step away.While Elijah and Lily stepped away to grab some water and give my father and me a moment to breathe, I watched th
