MasukShe swore off the rink the night her ex, ice hockey’s golden boy, broke her heart in front of the school. Ice was for scars, not second chances. But everything changes when a mysterious transfer student shows up, a brooding goalie with a record as dark as his past and a smile sharp enough to cut. His deal is simple. Pretend to date him, and he’ll help her win the scholarship that could rewrite her future. But as sparks ignite and secrets unravel, she finds herself caught between old wounds and new temptations. Is he just another player in a dangerous game… or the one person who could change everything?

I couldn't control the volume of my voice as Dylan disclosed the information.All the other players turned to us and Dylan's eyes widened in panic."What's going on there?" John asked with a small frown grazing his face.Dylan glared at me before turning to the other players. "There's nothing going on here, Captain.""We don't get our official jersey?" I asked to cut Dylan off.Dylan tried to cover my mouth, but it was difficult to reach me as I had veered away from his reach.John's frown deepened as he crossed his arms on his chest."Yes," John replied. "The school only gives us a certain amount of budget, so we can't give second-string players their own jersey. It has been like this since the club has been established.""Aren't we a part of the team too?" I asked as it seemed unfair how we were being treated differently."You are," John sighed while massaging the bridge of his nose. "But we are not in any league or competition at the moment, so the school decide
Avery's POVI sat by the bench, dejected, while the other second-string players cheered for John who had just landed a shot and smoothly skated back to their side on the rink.I couldn't believe I was still doing the same old thing. I shouldn't be watching the players from the sideline as they played to their hearts' extent.Even though my mood wasn't great, I still took the time to observe John's playing style. I had never seen him play before and I was pleasantly surprised. The captain definitely deserved his title since he was the best player among everyone on the rink.Sharon, too, wasn't bad at all. However, it seemed like she wouldn't be entirely comfortable playing on the rink if John wasn't the one playing beside her. As far as I knew, Sharon was also a third-year student like John, so she must have become stuck to him.Kate and King were doing relatively well even though it was their first time training with the old players. King was undoubtedly better than Kate but I could a
Avery's POV I didn't want to see Dr. Monroe after class. Seeing his scary face would not only ruin my day, it would also mean I would be late to my very first Hockey practice.I was already late to the tryouts, so I definitely didn't want to repeat history.I looked around and observed my classmates' faces. Then, I stared right back into Dr. Monroe's eyes. Thankfully, he didn't notice that I was glaring at him.If I accepted my score, then it would confirm that I, actually, cheated on the assignment.If I chose the other option, then I was sure I was going to be late to my first Hockey training.However, in those two options, I knew I was going to be doubted either way.So, I shrugged and sat back down in my seat to show that I had accepted my score of zero. My classmates looked at me with judging expressions even though most of them copied other people's homework.Dr. Monroe smirked as he walked over to the board. Then, he shook his head while muttering to himself, "That's what I th
Avery's POV Dr. Monroe entered the classroom with a face that couldn't be painted. He always looked like a sheep that had been milked a couple more times than the ordinary, but today, he appeared even more dehydrated.It seemed like I wasn't the only one who noticed the shift in his attitude. Everyone in the class became quiet as soon as he entered the classroom.The old man placed down his belongings on the table in a way calmer than we had anticipated. The action made all of us even more nervous as we all seemed to be wondering what had gotten into the old man's head."First, let us deal with the answers to your assignment," he said and turned around to write on the board.One brave soul raised her hand and asked a question."Aren't you going to give us back our papers, sir?"Dr. Monroe turned around with a subtle glare in his eyes. The girl swiftly zipped her mouth shut and stopped prying further.Dr. Monroe wrote down the answers on the board and rapidly discussed the rationale b
