She turned around. "What?" I walked over to the closet and pulled out one of my hockey shirts. It was one of my Northlake hockey shirts with my number printed on the back. I held it out to her. "You'll need this tomorrow." She stared at the shirt. "For practice?" "Yeah." She looked at me as if I had just said something completely ridiculous. "Really?" I nodded. "Yeah." She took the shirt from me and looked at the number on the back. "You actually want me to wear this?" "Of course." "Why?" I gav

    She turned around. "What?" I walked over to the closet and pulled out one of my hockey shirts. It was one of my Northlake hockey shirts with my number printed on the back. I held it out to her. "You'll need this tomorrow." She stared at the shirt. "For practice?" "Yeah." She looked at me as if I had just said something completely ridiculous. "Really?" I nodded. "Yeah." She took the shirt from me and looked at the number on the back. "You actually want me to wear this?" "Of course." "Why?" I gave her a look. "You're my girlfriend. Remember?" She immediately corrected me. "Fake girlfriend." "Yes. Sure." I tried to sound casual but I couldn't help smiling.She folded the shirt over her arm. "Okay. I'll wear it." "Good." She moved toward the door again. I followed her out of my room. We were almost at the entrance when I noticed someone walking down the hallway outside my room . I couldn't see the person's face clearly yet. My first thought was that it might be someone from the team. Then

  • THE JOCK’S CONTRACT WITH THE NERD   CHAPTER 8

    By the time we reached the shopping center I was already feeling more relaxed. The whole situation with Samantha had been ridiculous, but at least Lily and I had managed to turn it into something we could laugh about. I didn't want to spend the rest of the day thinking about whether people believed we were dating. We had a plan and we needed to make it believable.I pushed open the glass door of the first clothing store and held it for Lily. She walked inside and immediately slowed down. There were clothes everywhere. Dresses hung neatly along one wall while jeans and tops filled the shelves on the other side. A few mannequins stood near the entrance wearing outfits that looked like they had been carefully put together. Lily looked around quietly. I watched her for a moment."So," I said. "Pick whatever you want." She turned toward me. "Anything?" "Anything." She looked at the clothes again. Then she looked back at me. "I don't know." I frowned. "What do you mean you don't know?" "I d

    *Logan*"Mouth infection?"I couldn't stop myself from saying it. The moment the words left my mouth I saw Lily's face change. She looked embarrassed all over again and quickly looked away from me. I tried not to laugh. I really did. But the whole situation had been ridiculous from the beginning. One minute we had been standing in the middle of a crowded hallway with everyone shouting for us to kiss. The next minute Lily had announced to the entire university that she couldn't kiss me because she had a mouth infection. I had never heard anything like it.She adjusted the strap of her bag on her shoulder and started walking. I followed beside her."You could have said anything," I told her. "Anything at all."She glanced at me. "I panicked.""I noticed.""I didn't know what else to say.""You couldn't have said you weren't comfortable kissing me in front of everyone?"She looked at me for a moment before shaking her head. "That would have made Samantha even more suspicious."I couldn't

  • THE JOCK’S CONTRACT WITH THE NERD   CHAPTER 6

    *Lily*This is supposed to be a contract.I kept repeating those words in my head as Logan's face moved closer to mine. This was not supposed to happen. The whole reason we were pretending to date was because Logan needed help with his grades and I wanted Cameron Reed to notice me. That was it. There was nothing else between us. At least that was what we had agreed from the beginning. So why was my heart beating so fast?I could hear everyone around us shouting. I looked at Logan again. His eyes were on mine and his face was getting closer. For a second I forgot about the people around us. I forgot about Samantha and her phone. I forgot about Cameron and the ridiculous plan that had brought me into this situation. All I could think about was the fact that Logan Carter was about to kiss me.I panicked. I put my hand between us. Logan immediately stopped. The look on his face told me that even he was shocked by my sudden interruption. His eyebrows lifted as he stared at me. The hallway

    I turned around and immediately recognized the person standing beside our row.Of course it had to be Samantha.She was one of those people who somehow knew everything that happened on campus before anyone else did. If someone broke up, Samantha knew. If two students were secretly seeing each other, Samantha probably knew before they even admitted it to themselves. She was always carrying her phone, always watching, always ready to turn somebody else's business into the next big piece of campus gossip.And now she was looking directly at me.She leaned closer and lowered her voice so the professor wouldn't hear us."Are you dating Lily Parker?"I could feel Lily looking at me from beside me.Samantha raised an eyebrow."You know," she added, "the nerd?""Yes," I said, although the word came out with a slight stammer. "I mean, yes, I'm dating Lily. And don't call her the nerd."She looked at Lily, then back at me."When did you guys start dating?"I shifted in my seat."Can this questi

  • THE JOCK’S CONTRACT WITH THE NERD   CHAPTER 4

    The next morning, I woke up earlier than usual. Not because I had suddenly developed a love for early mornings or because I was excited about class. I had a very specific reason for getting out of bed that early, and her name was Lily Parker.According to our contract, we were officially dating now. Fake dating, obviously, but if we wanted people to actually believe it was real, we could not only act like a couple when it was convenient for us. We had to make it look real in public, consistently.I got dressed, grabbed my backpack, and walked out of my room. Tyler's voice called out from the living room,“Where are you going?”I looked over and found him stretched across the couch with his eyes fixed on the television like he had been there all night.“Class.”He glanced at the clock on the wall and frowned,“Since when do you leave this early for class?”“Since today.”“That doesn't sound like you.”“Just watch your game.”He shrugged and went back to the television without arguing f
