AVERY POV

Cassandra's words sent a cold shiver down my spine, causing me to freeze in place. She seemed to notice its effect on me as she smiled at me.

"We might not be friends, but I still wouldn't want you in grave danger," she continued. "I don't hate you that much....yet."

She straightened up once she noticed Jax approaching and hightailed out of the cafeteria before he reached our table.

Jax's eyes followed with a glare full of suspicion as he left.

For some reason, those eyes scared me.

They held no anger. Just calculated suspicion and an indifference that bordered on being absolutely insensitive. Like he had no emotions.

"Here's your sandwich," he said as he placed my tray on the table. "I had her cut back in the cheese a little bit. You need to get in shape if you wanna get that scholarship and trust me, cheese wouldn't help."

He placed his own tray down and sat down directly opposite me as he dug into his meal of mashed potatoes and chicken.

    Avery's POV My eyes continued to twitch as Captain John spoke with us. Seeing Roy from my peripheral vision as he was laughing among his friends as if he hadn't just blocked my chance of shooting the puck into the net."The team will deliberate on your performances," John disclosed while walking back and forth in front of the applicants."Don't expect that all of you will make it," he added coldly.The applicants nervously nodded but I was still stuck on the shot that I couldn't make."You are dismissed," John instructed and we, the newbie players all scrambled out of the rink.Kate held her head up high as she exited the ice rink as if she was already certain that she was going to make the team.King walked slowly so that he could probably admire Lina's beauty for longer."Wait," the pretty manager softly called from her seat.Kate and King stopped while I continued to mutter curses under my breath as I walked to the bleachers with an angered heart."Wait," she repeated.King excite

    Avery's POVJanet exchanged amused glances with the other varsity players as their victory was already certain.To a team whose victories were pretty rare. Therefore, moments like these made them really happy.We, the newbie team, also started slowing down as we had already accepted defeat.50 seconds.Yet I still didn't give up.My objective wasn't to win but to land just one shot. So, as I sensed Janet's distraction, I extended my long, old stick toward her stick to stop her from reaching the puck.To everyone's surprise, including Janet herself, I stole the puck from her hand.For a couple of seconds, everyone seemed stunned as no one dared to move.However, they quickly snapped back to reality after I had gone deep into their half.Lina continued looking at me and I could feel her stinging eyes on me. Because of this, I couldn't concentrate properly but I forced myself to remain calm.I was afraid that I would lose this year if I fail to land this shot.Meanwhile, Sharon was also

    Avery's POV John had no choice but to allow me to play as the fifth member of the newbie team. The others who were still confused about Alen's sudden outburst, snapped back to reality when I was added to the team."I'll be the Forward," I said without hesitation. It was my main position before in my former school, so I was confident that I would be able to do it the best among everyone on the team.However, it seemed like my teammates didn't care at all about position."Who cares what our positions are?" Roy let out. "We just need to shoot the puck as many times as we can, right?""That's not how the game works," I corrected him coldly."Suit yourself," Roy said with a playful smile on his lips while his two friends also seemed like they didn't care much about Hockey positions.Only Alen's friend was the one taking me seriously but then again, it also appeared that she wasn't that great at Hockey based on what I had seen.John passed the puck to Roy and blew the whistle. There were o

    Chapter 39Avery's POV It was definitely not yogurt-flavored.Nonetheless, the girl had just drank the milk deliciously like it hadn't gone bad."Ah, that was good," she commended. "What brand is this again?"The guy beside her nudged her shoulder and shook her head. "Stop drinking. We're already the next players. You might slow down if you get too full.""I'm fine," she boasted. "This will be my source of power!"'Source of diarrhea, you mean,' I thought within myself.The whistle sounded and the players from the second set finally made their way back to the bleachers.There was a confident smirk on Kate's lips as she sat down, feeling satisfied with her performance.Meanwhile, the varsity team players went to the side of their bench to take a short rest and rehydrate.Playing two sets without rest had definitely taken its toll on them. The second set of applicants were also undoubtedly more difficult to play against, so they asked John for a short break. Fortunately, their team cap

    Avery's POV The second set of the tryout game had finally commenced.The score was 31-6 in favor of the varsity team.Truth be told, the newbie team only scored those six points because the current team took pity on them in the end."Prepare now," John said to the second team. Kate nodded and gathered her members in a semi-circle."I'll be the Forward," she confidently announced."I'll be the defenseman," another guy chimed.I had definitely seen the guy during our orientation. He was around the same height as Kate and his jersey had his last name King.The others quickly followed and they quickly set a better vibe for the second set.After delegating their positions, the five of them walked to the rink, where the varsity players were excitedly waiting for them.John blew the whistle to signal the start of the second set.The current players were more relaxed this time around as they were already aware of the skills of the applicants from the first set.However, as they started playi

    Avery's POV "Line up," John coldly said and I quickly complied. I stood next to the shortest guy among the applicants and it made me seem like I was standing out even more.Kate glanced at me from her position and clicked her tongue."Why is she even here?" she muttered.John stood at the very center but his gaze was focused on me."As I was saying, I do not tolerate latecomers during practices, matches and tryouts. Especially tryouts," he emphasized.I pursed my lips and kept my gaze to the front. If it weren't for that old man and his dirty car, I would have made it on time."I believe that those who are punctual will get the most blessings. With that in mind, I will now be relaying the mechanics for this tryout." John led us towards the rink. "Today, you'll be facing the current first string players of our team in three sets," he started off.The six current members of the varsity team sat cockily beside the rink like eagles that were surveying their prey. They waved at us, the n
