“Start talking,” Ethan snapped at me again with his arms folded across his chest like a human barricade while his eyes darted between me and Ryans. “Now.”

Behind him, Ryans stood like he was bracing for a hit on the ice with his shoulders squared, jaw tight and gaze fixed on me. He didn’t speak, just waited as if he was letting me take the lead in this case.

And it was crazy because my tongue had apparently turned to mush.

“Ethan,” I took a deep breath and said carefully, as if coaxing a snarling dog. “Let’s all just take a deep breath.”

“I’ll breathe when someone tells me why the hell my best friend keeps having issues with Caleb and why I am hearing some funny rumour about you two lately! Are you guys really dating?!” he thundered, pointing at Ryans like the very sight of him offended him. “What is this? Some weird, post-Caleb rebound thing? Is that what this is?! Because I swear to God, Sky—”

“Shit…Ethan, would you keep your voice down?” I hissed, slamming the door shut before one

    Balancing law and hockey was like juggling chainsaws while riding a unicycle. Add Skylar Hayes into the equation, and I was pretty sure I’d unlocked a new level of chaos.For real. Most people thought being the captain of the Thunders was all glory and fan cheers but they didn’t see the early mornings, the bruised ribs, or the endless strategy meetings where Coach Donovan barked plays like a man possessed. They also didn’t see me half-asleep in the back of a law lecture, trying to remember whether mens rea referred to criminal intent or the reason I hadn’t slept in two days.“Bro, you look like death warmed up. Are you okay? Should we be worried?” Liam said as he dropped his gear bag beside mine in the locker room. I eyed him warily. His grin was way too wide for 6:30 a.m and I didn't like that.“Thanks,” I muttered, pulling on my jersey. “You always know how to compliment a man.”I looked around and saw that Ethan was on the other side talking to Coach Donovan.As I wondered what t

    To me, today's classes were the craziest I had in a while and by the time I dragged myself to the dorm, my brain felt like mashed potatoes. The sun was already dipping low, painting the campus in that warm orange glow that made everything look deceptively peaceful and it was definitely unlike my schedule, which was currently a flaming wreck.I kicked the door shut with my foot, muttering under my breath, “I swear, if I see another Photoshop layer today, I might cry.”Majoring in graphic design and art had sounded romantic when I first picked it—visions of creativity, color palettes, and digital freedom. In reality, it was a caffeine-dependent roller coaster of deadlines, critiques, and professors who thought students were nocturnal creatures that lived on Adobe software.Today had been a prime example of chaos. My morning class had started with a surprise quiz on design principles because apparently, torture is a valid teaching method. Then my art theory lecturer spent forty minutes

    The arena was alive again for the umpteenth time. The sound of blades slicing across ice echoed through the rink in a rhythmic and sharp manner like the heartbeat of a city that never stopped. Ryans along with my brother was out there with their team, the Thunders, practicing for the upcoming championship and I couldn't stop looking at Ryans. His movements were smooth and precise and he looked completely in his element—focused, powerful and untouchable all at once. I sat in the bleachers, hands wrapped around a cup of lukewarm coffee that I’d forgotten to drink. That was how focused I was. From where I was sitting, I could see everything: the sweat gleaming on Ryans' neck, the way he barked instructions at his teammates, the easy confidence that made people follow him without question. Every time he looked up and met my eyes through the glass, my stomach did this annoying fluttery thing.I couldn't stop looking at him. No matter how I tried. My entire being had been arrested by hi

    By the time I reached the gym that same night, I was shaking. Badly. It was not the nervous kind of shaking. Rather, it was the kind that comes from rage so sharp it feels cold.After the cafe, Ryans had dropped me off at my dorm promising to call me later. Then he left. June was not around when I entered and so there was no one to interrupt my raging thoughts of Caleb as I paced to and fro the sitting room. After fifteen minutes of restless pacing, I knew one thing:I had to go see the bastard called Caleb because I had had enough of his nonsense. I had had enough!It was with that thought in mind that I left the dorm room and pounced to the gym. After one year of dating Caleb, I knew that if it was not yet time to indulge in reckless partying with his friends, he was either at class, or at the rink practising, or at the gym toning up his body. So I went to the gym first. The doors slammed behind me, echoing off the walls. The place was nearly empty except for Caleb and a few o

    The evening air was cold enough to bite, but Skylar’s laughter made everything feel warmer.She was walking beside me, cheeks flushed from the wind, her gloved hands tucked into the pockets of her coat. Her hair caught the evening sunlight like a halo, and every time she turned to look at me, I forgot whatever I was about to say.“Stop staring,” she teased without looking up. “You’re going to walk into a pole.”“Worth it,” I said easily.She laughed, shaking her head. “You’re ridiculous.”We were on the street near the rink, coffee cups in hand, just two people pretending the world wasn’t watching. After last night, it felt surreal to just be—no audience, no expectations, no storm of doubts. Just us.It was the most beautiful thing. “You know,” I said now while bumping her shoulder with mine, “you could’ve at least pretended to be impressed by my dating skills last night.”“Oh, I was really impressed,” she replied dryly. “Mostly by the fact that you didn’t order a burger at a fancy r

    I woke up the next morning smiling like an idiot.It was the kind of smile you can’t fight even if you tried. The morning sunlight poured through the blinds in a warm and soft manner and kissed my face like it was in on my secret…like it was sharing in my happiness.I clutched my phone against my chest, the same one I’d fallen asleep scrolling through. Ryans’ text from midnight was still glowing faintly at the top of the screen. Seeing it made me yearn for him in the most profound manner.I read Ryans’ text again: Get some sleep, sunshine. I like knowing you’ll wake up smiling.And damn it, I did. How I did. “Someone’s glowing,” June’s voice suddenly sang from across the room before I even opened my eyes fully. She was standing by the mirror, toothbrush hanging from her mouth, wearing her ‘Drama Queen in Progress’ T-shirt and one sock. “I can literally see the hearts floating above your head.”I groaned, burying my face in my pillow. “Go away, June.”“Nope.” She yanked the pillow off
