I didn't want to be here.

On my soul, I genuinely did not want to be inside this building with these people and their fake laughs and their loud conversations and the whole exhausting display of twenty-something strangers pretending they already liked each other after forty minutes of existing in the same zip code.

I needed the hockey program. The season, the exposure, the scouts that came with playing for a program this visible. That was the whole point and the reason—aside the fact that I wa

  • Off Camera    DARE NIGHT

    "It's just the first day and your rankings are already this low." Vress didn't even look up when he said it. He was reading something on his desk, his pen moving across the page like I wasn't worth his slightest attention.I sat across from him with my hands in my lap and my face completely still."Kyrian is a tough nut to crack," I said. "I need more time."He set the pen down and looked up slowly."Time," he said, "is the one thing we don't have." He held my gaze for a second longer than necessary. "So better get cracking."He gestured toward the door.I stood, picked up my bag and left without another word because there was genuinely nothing left to say to him that wouldn't put me in a tough spot.The corridor outside his office was empty and I stood in it for a moment, just breathing.My feet started moving before I'd actually decided where I was going. Past the main hall, down the back stairs and out through the side exit that opened toward the athletics complex.I didn't know wh

    I didn't want to be here.On my soul, I genuinely did not want to be inside this building with these people and their fake laughs and their loud conversations and the whole exhausting display of twenty-something strangers pretending they already liked each other after forty minutes of existing in the same zip code.I needed the hockey program. The season, the exposure, the scouts that came with playing for a program this visible. That was the whole point and the reason—aside the fact that I was blackmailed into it of course—that I'd signed this stupid deal. The ice was the only place I didn't hate right now.Just the ice, the blades under my feet, stick in my hand, that moment when the game started and every single piece of noise in my head went completely, finally, quiet. That silence was the only reason I hadn't burned everything down already.Production couldn't follow me here. The university athletics agreement kept the cameras out of practice sessions which was a really great n

    "I'm telling you," I said, "he's such a jerk."Hori had her legs pulled up onto the common room couch, shoes off, feeling completely at home in a building she didn't live in."How bad are we talking?" she said, her eyebrows raising as her eyes gleamed with curiosity."He responds to whatever I say with one word, Hori. He barely even pays attention to me." I whispered, my gaze shifting to the far end where kyrian was seated, still pressing his phone. “He snores, and he's messy.” I continued. “He literally flinged his shoe across the room last night.”Hori pressed her lips together, probably trying to hold back herself from bursting into laughter. "I should go over and warn him," she said, with zero intention of doing anything of the sort."That wouldn't be necessary." I laughed, stealing another glance at him. "He'd probably just say cool and go back to his phone.""The audacity." She shook her head solemnly, reaching over and stealing a piece of fruit off my plate without asking, whic

    Kiss him.Before the week ends.I lay on my back staring at the ceiling with those two sentences replaying over and over again in my head. The room was dark, Kyrian's side was empty—he hadn't come up yet, which meant I had the room to myself, which should have made it easier to sleep but somehow it didn't.I turned onto my side.I had just four days left till the end of the week, four days to manufacture enough of a connection with a person who communicated exclusively in cold silence.I had done difficult tasks before, but this one was simply impossible.The door opened.Kyrian came in without turning the light on, which I appreciated. He moved through the dark, locating the edge of his bed.Then he took his shoes off and flung them.One landed near his bag and the other hit the floor somewhere in the direction of the wardrobe.I stared at the ceiling, heat crawling up my veins as he stood up, moving restlessly across the room.After what seemed like five minutes, he lay down and the

    "Were you not taught how to knock?" He turned to face me, his hands reaching out to cover his pelvic region."Ummm…excuse me." I snapped at him. "I didn't know you were here. And besides, I knocked on the front door several times.""Well…this isn't the front door." He snapped back. "Get the fuck out."I grabbed the handle and slammed the door then turned around and walked back downstairs because if I stayed in that room for one more minute I was going to do something that I would definitely not enjoy.Downstairs was louder than when I came in, more people had filtered in—some I recognized from the profile pictures on the website, while some I didn't. I found a corner that had a good sightline to most of the room and stood there for a while, just watching. That was always the first step—you didn't walk into a new social setting and start walking around immediately. Instead, you watch, you let people show you who they are when they thought nobody was paying close attention.Near the fa

  • Off Camera    The playbook show

    I stared at the contract document that Vress slid across the table, my eyes still wide from the shock and my palms still trembling slightly. I sat down back, and looked up at his emotionless face. "If I sign this." My voice came out less shaky than I was at the moment. "You delete the footage, you wipe it off completely without any backup copy."He looked at me, a smirk crossing his face which made it obvious that he found what I said quite endearing."A dog owner always needs a leash," he said pleasantly, a smile tugging boldly at his lips. "Otherwise the dog runs wild." He leaned forward, his gaze fixing on me. "I'm the one holding yours now, Miss Reid. You're not really in a position to be making deals."Heat flooded my veins, bursts of red flooding through my sight. I wanted to grab him, slam his face into the desk or something but instead I looked back down at the paper.Just sign it, sign it and get this shit over with.My hand was shaking when I reached for the pen. I presse
