Se connecterKehlani Elliot's face had turned pale as he and Trevor began to talk. I moved close, just to open my ears and hear what he had to say. “Man, I'm so sorry for what happened. It could be anyone. It could even be a player from your team that's jealous of you. I know we aren't on good terms, but you don't deserve this….”I scrunched my nose in disgust. Coming from a person like Elliot? He was the one who once attempted to kill Trevor by stabbing him and Trevor still doesn't want to add him on the suspect list. Nolan comes from nowhere pointing his fingers at Elliot's face.“Don't you fucking say those words, Elliot. Vipers would never betray one another. This has never happened before. Vipers are brothers.” Nolan chests out, moving Elliot out of the way who stumbled backwards and raised his hands up. “Okay. Okay. Fine. Whatever you say. I'm just gonna go.” He turned and our eyes met. A wicked smile curled up on his lips as he stared at me. God, what kind of creature is this? What if he
Kehlani I was so astonished to the point, I couldn't say anything. Trevor gives me a fake smile. I know deep down, he was drowning. He was sad. “Who could do something like this?” I steepled my fingers. He looked away. “For some reasons….” He sighed.“What if it's one of the vipers?” He looks into my eyes with a serious expression..“What?” What are you talking about?”“Kehlani, I don't know but…..I drank it in the locker room. Don't you think someone must have done it?”“Why would your fellow teammate poison you? Why would any vipers do that to their player? It doesn't make sense.” I pressed, scared. “My thoughts too. Why would they do that?”“What about home bears? Do you….” I stopped because I had no idea where my mind was heading to. No clue to back up accusations. “Morton wants to check the CCTV footage from the banquet. If someone puts something in it.”“I don't know how to say this….but…. something keeps telling me that I know who did it, although I don't have strong eviden
Kehlani“Hello, sir. How is Trevor doing? Is he fine? What happened to him? Is he alright?” I rushed, heart racing and my voice paper thin. We all went quiet, waiting for his reply over the phone. The sound of the beeping machine over the phone makes me shiver more. “Hey, Kehlani, Jade. Trevor is fine. He's awake too.”We all take deep exasperated breaths, smiling. I closed my eyes. “Well, what was the cause behind the pass out and blood?”“The doctor ran tox screen. They said poison was in his system. He might have taken something mistakenly or I don't know. They're still figuring it out.”Poisoned? The word felt so heavy for me to process. I sighed. “Can I talk to him? Please?”“Sorry, but not right now. He….” He went silent and then continued. “He doesn't want to talk right now. Y'all take a rest okay? Don't worry about Trevor. The strongest goalie I've ever seen. He's fine. Just go to your rooms, eat and stay happy. Trevor will be there tomorrow. Goodbye.”“But–”The call cut bef
Kehlani I know the Jumbotron was on me. But I didn't care. I was still moving forward, panicking, I didn't care about the trainers stepping forward of the hundreds of eye-watches. I scrambled to him, my knees dropping beside him as I felt the coldness of the ice into my jeans. “Trevor, Trevor?” I called. Rolling him, too heavy, I just placed his head on my lap, trying to tap him. But he jerks, blood seeping out of his mouth, his lips, shirt and to the ice. I raised my head. “Help!” I turned back to him. His eyes flutter and his voice raspy. “Keh….Lani?” He weakly holds my hand. I hold onto both hands. “You're gonna be fine. They're coming.” My chest ached. Why is he choking blood out, does he have a medical condition? Food poisoning? What? Oh God. Tears were hot down on my cheeks. The refs and trainees were already close. “Please, help us.” I begged, whispering. A ref gets to the ice. “Miss, you need to move back right now?” He says. Hands hovering over my arm but I stand up, my
Kehlani 9:46Now power play. The vipers set, Trevor is on the half wall. One timer set up perfectly. He blasts it. Bear number 7 lays out, blocking it with his chest. The puck bounces to centre ice and Trevor slammed his stick. It was obvious he was angry. My palm feels sweaty holding the camera. I was worried, my stomach tightened. Praying silently that Trevor should try. Even if not him, the rest vipers. Amongst all of the viper, the jumbotron focuses more on him because he put too much effort. He's like the highlight of them all, trying his best. Using his skills but no score yet. 7:18He steals the puck at his own blue line. Breakaway number 2. This time he goes five holes. Goalie closed his legs.. save. He skates by our glass, screaming into his glove. Eyes wild. Elliot loses it, waved his hands and yelled..“Hockey god? More like a hockey loser!”He was so stupidly loud that some heads turned to look and Trevor sighted him, heard him too. Just before he staked back, he gives
KehlaniThis time, I was seated close to the window. My arms are crossed so tight I could feel my pulse in my elbow. Why was Trevor suddenly angry? I don't get it. Maybe I was at fault, I don't know. And boy, why did I even say something like that. The sex part, jeez. The bus hit a porthole and I gasped. The ride was quick. Slowing down to park in as we approached the gate. Bakersfield High school. The bus stopped in the beautiful lining of the walkway. The inside was pretty. Really attractive. There's a big electronic Marquee my the curb: WELCOME, BAKERSFIELD HOME BEARS VS BROOKLYN VORTEX VIPERS. HOCKEY SHOWCASE TONIGHT. The door wheezed open and one by one, everyone's stepping out. Cold air hits my face and I smiled. Olive is by my side. A woman in polo walked to us, greeting Morton. “Brooklyn students from Oakland!” She smiled and we all greeted her back in unison. She turned to the other bus that vortex vipers used. “Welcome. Welcome. I'm Mrs Danver. Student activities. You guys
KehlaniI arranged every piece of clothes in my wardrobe. In fact some couldn't contain so I got rid of the old ones which were worn off. I smiled, admiring the change. Olive would be surprised. Olive…fuck. No. That's when the threat rang in my ear. To stay away from her. I don't know what to do
KehlaniIn no time, it was dinner time. I sat close to Trevor, while Darcy, his mom, was opposite. We were having mashed potatoes, shepherd's pie and fried chicken. “So, since when did you two start dating?” She asked eagerly. Trover just ate quietly, not ready for this conversation. “Two weeks a
Kehlani Trevor had parked at his mansion. The huge black gates fled open and he glided in. I try not to act surprised but goddamn, his home was a masterpiece out of a movie. The first thing that caught my attention was the water fountain before the pretty surroundings. No wonder he didn't mind pay
KehlaniAt first I tried to act like I didn't see her but she stopped me by tapping me painfully on my shoulders. This witch. That hurts. “What is it?” I sighed. “Just a friendly talk.”I rolled my eyes. “Friendly? We're not even friends.”She pouts. “But we were.”I nod approvingly. “Well, good
