The Hockey Player who Hates me Chapter 34- First day
Paige’s POVThe next day was my first official day at my new internship.I should’ve been excited.A placement with the athletics department was something I’d worked hard for, but as I got ready that morning, excitement sat side by side with a knot of nerves in my stomach.Hopefully I wouldn't have to interact with the hockey team too much. Specifically…… Knox.Or Mike.It was raining and chilly, so I pulled on dark skinny jeans and my favorite cream knit sweater—the one Leah gave me for my birthday because she insisted it made my eyes look prettier. I paired it with comfortable brown ankle boots, to keep my feet and ankles dry. After brushing my hair into a high ponytail, I gave myself one last look in the mirror.Simple. Comfortable. This was definitely appropriate for work. I was to meet Mrs. Anderson in her office, and I secretly hoped she’d keep me buried under stacks of contracts and sponsorship files in her office and I would go home without seeing Knox or Mike.That hope last
The Hockey Player who Hates me Chapter 33- Mike again.
Paige’s POVMike towered over me, handsome as ever.He wore a fitted black T-shirt beneath a navy varsity jacket, sleeves pushed up to his forearms, with faded blue jeans and white sneakers. His dark curls were slightly messy, probably from hockey practice, and for one ridiculous second he looked exactly like the boy I’d fallen in love with.I followed him outside across the courtyard separating the athletics building from the law faculty. I stopped outside the law building and crossed my arms over my chest. “Okay.” I looked up at him. “What do you want? Make it quick.”Mike exhaled slowly, rubbing a hand over the back of his neck. He looked at me with an expression he had used on me a million times over the course of our relationship, the one designed to make me feel like the difficult and unreasonable one. “I want you to give me another chance.”I almost laughed. “I’ve already told you a thousand times” I shook my head. “No.” Frustration bled into his face. “Babe, it’s been weeks
The Hockey Player who Hates me Chapter 32- Professional Introduction
Paige's POV “Paige Carter,” she said. “This is Knox Tatum. He’s one of the players on the university hockey team, and you’ll be working with him for your placement this semester.”For the briefest second, surprise flashed across Knox’s face and disappeared. He looked at me like he’d never seen me before. Like I hadn’t been in his bed. Like he hadn’t spent Saturday night screaming at me.He stepped forward and held out his hand.“Knox Tatum.” His voice was low and warm, completely unbothered. “Nice to meet you.”The words landed like a slap.I stared at his hand for half a heartbeat before forcing myself to take it.“Paige Carter.” I gave him a smile I hoped didn’t look as forced as it felt. If he could pretend he didn't know me, I could too. “Nice to meet you too.” He let go of my hand almost immediately, as if they burned him.Mrs. Anderson smiled, completely oblivious to the tension hanging between us.“Perfect. Now that you’ve met, let me explain how this placement is going to
The Hockey Player who Hates me Chapter 31- I'm not doing it
Paige’s POVThe silence inside Leah’s car was nothing like our usual rides to campus.Normally, whenever Leah managed to make it out of bed early enough for campus, she'd have music blasting through the speakers, singing every lyric whether she knew the words or not.She was the first to break the silence.“You’re really not going to do it?”I looked out the window.“I'm not, Lee. I’m going to get it changed.” “You’re talking about the athletics placement, Paige?” She glanced towards me, before looking back to the road. “This would be so good for you.”I nodded.“Yes, but you know I can’t work with the hockey team.”“Because of Mike?”I laughed without humor. “Mike’s part of it.”Leah sighed. “And Knox.”There was no point pretending.“Yes.” I rested my head against the window. “I can’t spend the next four months following your brother around with paperwork after everything that’s happened.”“And Mike’s there too,” I continued. “It’s already awkward enough.”Leah bit her lip.“I’m so
The Hockey Player who Hates me Chapter 30- Please not her
Knox’s POVI watched her walk off into the building, jaw tight, hands still gripping the steering wheel.The hurt slashed on her face, had speared me in the chest like a hot poker. “It wasn’t her fault,” Leah said. “I was the one who started it,” she went on. “With Avery. She didn’t do anything wrong.”“I know.” “Then why’d you go off on her like that?”I didn’t have a clean answer.Leah studied me a second longer, waiting, then shook her head and reached for the door handle. “I’ll talk to her tomorrow.”“Leah—”“It’s fine, Knox.” She got out, closing the door quietly behind her, none of the anger from a minute ago in it anymore — just tired.I watched her walk inside after Paige before I finally pulled away from the curb.Did I do too much?I kept seeing it — the way Paige’s face had shifted while I was talking, that flicker of hurt she’d tried to cover fast, the way she’d gone quiet instead of arguing back the way she normally would have. That wasn’t like her.It didn't matter. It
The Hockey Player who Hates me Chapter 29- Its all my fault.
Paige's POVWho would’ve thought Leah and I would end the night sitting in a police station?I sat on a hard plastic bench under fluorescent lights with Leah beside me, waiting to find out when we could leave.Avery had already been released.And somehow, the person who had started the entire mess wasn’t even here anymore.Mike had left.Apparently, because Leah had slammed his face into the counter, his bloody nose had been enough for the officers to take his assault more seriously.He hadn’t stayed to check if I was okay.Typical.Leah shifted beside me, bouncing her leg nervously.“Knox is going to kill me.” She had called Knox earlier, and from his tone, he was very upset. “He’s not going to kill you.” I glanced at her. “He’ll understand,” I said, even though I wasn’t entirely convinced.“He would, you know him” Leah muttered as she took in her lower lip and her hands fiddled with the hem of her top. Leah groaned, dropping her head into her hands.“You'll be fine, I'll be there

CHAPTER FOURPAIGES POVIt was almost four o’clock in the morning by the time I finally got to my apartment. It was too quiet.Leah was probably sleeping, judging by the fact that she didn't jump me with questions. I dragged myself upstairs to my room, it appeared as though Leah helped me clear th

CHAPTER THREEPAIGES POVHoly f—The punch landed so hard that Mike staggered backwards crashing into a table.My hand flew to my mouth, barely stopping the scream that tried to escape. I could hear gasps from every corner of the club. People whispering“Wait…”“Isn't that Knox, the hockey player?”

PAIGE’S POVI shaved twiceOnce because I’d missed a spot, and again to ensure it was all smooth down there.I gave my reflection another look in the mirror. A smile stretched on my lips on seeing myself. Leah, my best friend, had spent nearly an hour curling my 4b long hair into glossy spirals.M
