The sidelines of a football game are the loudest place on earth, but standing next to Evans, everything felt muffled, like we were underwater.

We were standing in the "family and staff" box, a roped-off section of turf right behind the Blackridge bench. It was enemy territory. Every player who jogged off the field, every assistant coach with a clipboard, stared at us.

They looked at Evans their school’s hockey god leaning heavily on his crutches, his face pale and bruised, wearing his jersey li

  • Stuck between Hockey Player and his Quarterback Brother   Hearts of Betrayal

    "She told me about you two in the alleyway to hurt me," Atlas said softly. "To make me lose control. And it worked. I lost the game. I lost my temper. And now, the school board is reviewing my status for the championship because of the equipment room photo.""You bought the key, Atlas," Evans said coldly. "You wanted me injured.""I wanted you benched!" Atlas snapped, a flash of his old temper flaring before he forced it down. "I wanted you out of my way. I didn't want your ankle shattered. Charlotte took it too far. She swapped the blade and loosened the housing. That wasn't the plan.""The plan was still sabotage," I said, finding my voice. "You don't get a medal for only wanting to slightly ruin your brother's life."Atlas looked at me, his dark eyes searching mine. For the first time, he didn't try to intimidate me."You're right," Atlas admitted. The words seemed to physically pain him. "You're right. I was... out of line."Evans and Ryker exchanged a look of pure, unadulterated

    The neon sign of the Silver Diner hummed with a comforting, familiar buzz, casting a warm red glow over our booth. It smelled of maple syrup, frying bacon, and stale coffee a sharp, grounding contrast to the sterile, terrifying air of Dean Vance’s office.We were sitting in the back booth. Ryker was inhaling a stack of pancakes like he hadn't eaten in a week. Evans was sitting next to me, his crutches resting against the peeling vinyl seat. He hadn't touched his coffee. He was staring at his phone, his thumb hovering over the screen.I took a sip of my orange juice, the ice clinking against the glass. The adrenaline crash was hitting me hard. My hands were shaking, and my chest felt hollowed out, but for the first time in months, I wasn't looking over my shoulder."She's gone," I murmured, mostly to convince myself. "Charlotte is actually gone."Ryker swallowed a massive bite of bacon. "Good riddance. The team is going to throw a party just to celebrate the fact that she won't be tryi

    She turned to me. Her eyes were wet, filled with hateful tears."You think you won?" she hissed. "You think because you got rid of me, you're safe? Atlas is going to burn you alive. He doesn't have anyone left to hold him back now.""I'm not afraid of Atlas," I said, my voice steady. "And I'm not afraid of you. Get out."Charlotte opened her mouth to argue, but Ryker took a step forward from the door, crossing his arms. He looked like a bouncer ready to toss a drunk.Charlotte scoffed. She grabbed her bag, spun on her heel, and stormed out of the office.The door slammed shut behind her.The silence returned, but this time, it felt lighter. Cleaner.Vance sighed, taking his glasses off and rubbing the bridge of his nose. He looked at me."Miss Jordan," he said wearily. "Your scholarship is reinstated. The morality clause violation is… expunged. However, I suggest you keep a lower profile until graduation. I can only bury so many bodies.""Thank you, Dean Vance," I said, standing up."

    Monday Morning, 7:55 AM.Dean Vance's office was quiet. The secretary looked up, startled, as the door opened.She expected a cowering scholarship student.Instead, she got a phalanx.Ryker walked in first, holding the door. Then Evans, on his crutches, wearing a suit and a look of cold determination. And then me.I wasn't wearing my hoodie. I wasn't wearing the gold dress. I was wearing my school uniform, perfectly pressed, my head held high.Dean Vance looked up from his desk. He frowned."Miss Jordan," he said. "You're early. And... accompanied.""We're here for the hearing," Evans said, hobbling to the center of the room. He didn't sit."This is a private academic matter, Mr. Thorpe," Vance said, standing up. "You have no business here.""Actually, he does," I said, stepping forward. "Since he's the victim of the crime you're accusing me of.""Crime?" Vance scoffed. "We're talking about moral conduct. The photos—""The photos are a lie," I interrupted. I walked to his desk and sla

    The drive to the club was a blur of streetlights and silence.Ryker drove his truck like he played goalie aggressive, reactive, and entirely focused on the objective. Evans was in the passenger seat, his bad leg wedged against the dashboard, his face pale and slick with sweat. The adrenaline from the game was fading, replaced by the throbbing reality of his injuries.I sat in the back, clutching the center console, my mind racing through the logistics of what we were about to do."You're sure about this?" Ryker asked, glancing in the rearview mirror. "Breaking and entering is a felony, Tamine. Dean Vance will definitely expel you for that.""It's not breaking and entering if I have a key," I lied. I didn't have a key to the office, but I knew Rick kept a spare inside the fake plant on top of the filing cabinet. It was the oldest trick in the book, and Rick was nothing if not predictable."And it's not a felony if we're retrieving stolen property," Evans muttered, shifting painfully. "

  • Stuck between Hockey Player and his Quarterback Brother   The echo chamber

    The tunnel under the stadium was a different world.Above us, forty thousand people were screaming, a wall of sound that vibrated through the concrete ceiling like a constant, low grade earthquake. But down here, the air was cold, damp, and smelled of aggressive cleaning chemicals mixed with the distinct, metallic tang of testosterone and sweat.I walked fast, my sneakers squeaking on the polished concrete. I wasn't supposed to be here. This was the belly of the beast—the restricted zone where players, coaches, and the elite support staff (like cheerleaders) existed. I was just the tutor with the morality clause violation.I turned the corner past the visiting team’s locker room, dodging a frantic water boy pushing a cart of Gatorade.Ahead, the hallway widened into the staging area for the cheer squad.Charlotte was there.She was standing in front of a full-length mirror mounted on the wall, reapplying her lip gloss with the precision of a surgeon. Her back was to me. She was hummin
