/-Evans-/

I don’t lose focus. Not on the ice, not in the gym, not in life. But I noticed that ever since that cafeteria showdown, Tamine Jordan had been a distraction getting under my skin and I have been unable to push her out.

I tried to no avail to shake off the image of her standing up to Atlas, her voice trembling yet firm, eyes blazing with fire , refusing to be pulled like a rope in a tug-of-war.

The way she glared at me after, cheeks flushed, chest heaving , I would be lying if I said I wasn’t replaying that in my head..

But what stuck the most? She hadn’t denied him. She hadn’t said she didn’t want either of us.

And that? That drove me crazy.

Practice ended late, the rink empty except for me dropping slap shots into the net long after the rest of the team had hit the showers. Each shot I delivered was harder than the last, motivated too by the thought of Atlas showing up in her life again, trying to stake a claim he obviously did not deserve.

By the time I finally was done,

  • Stuck between Hockey Player and his Quarterback Brother   RUMOURS AND REALITIES

    The feeling of Evans’s cheap, worn pen in her pocket was a constant, irritating reminder that her Rule Number Two was officially compromised. Tamine had spent the evening trying to convince herself that keeping the pen was simply a matter of principle—she was holding it hostage until he improved his grade but the truth was, she couldn't stop thinking about the serious, focused look in his eyes when he talked about earning something he wanted.It was this dizzying internal debate that made her completely unprepared for the ambush.Tamine was walking toward her locker during the crowded lunch break, navigating the sea of students with her head down, a practiced strategy. She felt a presence halt her path and looked up to see Atlas Thorpe leaning against the metal bank of lockers, a casual obstruction. He wasn't alone; his usual entourage of fellow Quarterback cronies and a couple of cheerleaders stood nearby, creating a little pocket of judgmental silence around them.Public humiliation

  • Stuck between Hockey Player and his Quarterback Brother   The Scored Goal

    Tamine spent the whole day trying to forget the sight of Atlas Thorpe outside the window. And the even worse sound of Evans’s last sentence: “I already broke your first rule. Let’s work on the others.”She found Evans waiting for her after school in the same stuffy room, 214. He wasn't sprawled out today. He was sitting up straight, staring at a blank page."Did you read the chapters?" Tamine asked, trying to sound bored and academic, not like someone whose palms were sweating."I read them," Evans said, not looking up. "I just don't get the point of that much drama.""It's classic literature, Evans. The point is to explore human nature.""Okay, then let's explore my nature," he countered, finally looking at her. "I'm telling you, this is pointless. I'm going to fail the class anyway. Why do you care so much?"Tamine felt a surge of genuine frustration. She hated laziness. "I care because I was told to care! And you're not stupid. You got that quiz question right yesterday."Evans sig

  • Stuck between Hockey Player and his Quarterback Brother   The Showcase

    Tamine clutched the three-ring binder to her chest like a shield. She had chosen the most unromantic place possible for their first mandatory tutoring session: Classroom 214, a musty, forgotten space on the third floor that smelled vaguely of old chalk and desperation. The room was mostly empty, the low winter sun casting long, judgmental shadows across the chipped linoleum floor.Rule Number Two: Avoid the Thorpe brothers at all costs.That rule had been shattered the moment Mrs. Davies paired her with Evans. Now, it was just her, her shattered heart, and Evans Thorpe, the source of her current, agonizing predicament.He was already there, sprawled in a student desk three sizes too small for his frame. His hockey duffel bag a ridiculous canvas beast sat beside him, reeking faintly of sweat and something expensive, like cologne mixed with ice melt. Evans didn't look up immediately. He was fiddling with a pen, clicking the top with a rhythmic, irritating tap.“You’re late, Jordan,” he

  • Stuck between Hockey Player and his Quarterback Brother   The Breaking Point

    /Tamine/I walked in on monday morning, I could already feel it before stepping through the school gates, the stares, the phones tilted just enough to record my reaction. I didn’t have to look their way to know what they were saying.Me again? What has charlotte done this time, surely she is not going to back down till she see’s my end.A video had gone viral.My mother’s drunken screaming. Me standing there helpless, tears running down my face. Every second of my humiliation broadcasted to the entire school, courtesy of Charlotte Hart and her perfect manicure.“Trailer trash,” someone muttered as I walked past.“Thorpe charity case,” another said.I forced myself not to react. Not to look back. I just needed to make it through the day. Head down, heart quiet, hands steady.I was not ready for any drama whatsoever, I had no energy left in me.Except my hands weren’t steady. They were trembling so hard that I almost dropped my books.I reached my locker and what I saw made me froze.Ta

  • Stuck between Hockey Player and his Quarterback Brother   Debunking the rumors

    /Evans/I have heard how about how rumors spread fast at Blackridge and here I am experiencing it firsthand.This was wildfire.By first period, everyone already knew.By second, they had twisted it.And by lunch, I was the villain of some story I didn’t even write“She slept with both brothers.”“She was with Evans when Atlas found out.”“No wonder she got that tutor deal, she was tutoring him in bed.”Every whisper hit like rock. The looks were not subtle either, even the smirks, raised brows, girls pretending not to stare. Guys elbowing each other like this was the drama they had all been waiting for.I kept my head down, my jaw tight, my hands shoved into my jacket pockets as I walked down the hallway. But inside, I was seething. Not at them. At her.Charlotte Hart.Of course it was her.I saw her smirk in the cafeteria yesterday, that sick kind of satisfaction when the news dropped. And the way Atlas had looked at me afterward, like he was ready to rip my head off.He cornered me

  • Stuck between Hockey Player and his Quarterback Brother   Declaration

    /-Tamine-/ By Monday, Blackridge wasn’t a school anymore. It was a damn circus. Phones were out before the first bell, faces lit by the glow of screens, whispers darting faster than the PA announcements. I knew before I even opened my locker that Charlotte’s plan had worked. Because my name was already trending on Blackridge’s unofficial gossip page: “Tutor or temptress? Top student caught cozy with Evans Thorpe” The blurry picture of me and Evans from the bleachers was plastered everywhere, captioned with hashtags I wanted to crawl into the floor and die over. #TeacherPet #ThorpeToy #ScandalQueen My hands shook as I shoved books into my bag, trying to breathe past the pressure in my chest. “Wow, guess we know how she got that A in Lit,” someone muttered behind me. “Must be nice, climbing grades and hockey players at the same time.” “Bet she tutors him real good.” Laughter stung my ears, sharp as glass. I slammed my locker shut and spun around looking straight a
