“He said he was just helping me rehearse... So why was I moaning his name backstage with his hand under my skirt?” Harriet Avery is the school’s invisible girl: brilliant, overweight, and bitter from years of bullying. But when her name appears as the lead in the school play—thanks to a cruel prank everything changes. Nick Marsh, the cocky captain of the hockey team, unexpectedly offers to help her. Their rehearsals are supposed to be harmless. But heat builds under stage lights. Chemistry simmers behind closed doors. And soon, Harriet is glowing—inside and out. She’s falling. Hard. But the cruelest twist comes after the curtain falls: the entire thing was a dare. Now with her heart broken, Harriet has two choices: fade into the background like she always has… or finally step into her own spotlight and set fire to everything that tried to break her.

The Ice Between Us Role of Cyrano
Harriet Honestly, dragging myself to school today was the last thing I wanted to do. Seriously, if I could’ve stayed in bed this morning, bundled up in my comfy blanket, with just my thoughts for company, I would have done it in a heartbeat. But of course, that wasn’t in the cards. My mom decided it was time to play the role of the alarm clock from hell. She knocked on my door like a tax collector demanding payment, urging me to get up and face the world. So, here I stood at the entrance of this dreaded institution we call school, side by side with Zoe, who somehow always manages to radiate positivity even on the crummiest days. I felt like I might throw up; the anxiety was crawling up my ribs, threatening to escape. “Come on, H! You’ll be just fine,” Zoe chirped, casually looping her arm through mine, as if she could physically anchor me to the ground. I shot her a skeptical glance. Zoe was the type of person who saw sunshine in even the cloudiest of skies. She was basi

Nick Hockey was my everything for as long as I could remember. I wasn’t some prodigy when I started. Actually, I sucked. Could barely stay on my feet. I was that kid who fell during the warm-up laps and took a puck to the face during my first game. But I kept going. Skated until my ankles bled. Got up after every fall. Worked harder than anyone else I knew because I had something to prove—to myself, to my dad, to anyone who looked at me like I was just another hotshot with rich parents. Now? I was at the top of my game. Captain of Crestwood’s varsity team. Leading scorer in the division. My name was already being passed around in D1 scouting circles. One recruiter even drove three hours just to watch me glide across the ice for fifteen minutes. If I kept playing like this, I wouldn’t need my parents’ trust fund. Wouldn’t need their names. I’d get out on my own merit,with a full ride, my future paid for in bruises and blocked shots. And that? That mattered more than anythin

Harriet Doing a slow 360 in front of the full-length mirror mounted to my wall had basically become my morning ritual. I lifted the hem of my plain grey shirt, and—yep—there they were. The stomach rolls. First thing I saw. Always. Then my eyes jumped to my breasts, then back to my stomach, then to the inner battle in my head. Maybe I should just stay home today. Skip the cruelty, the whispers, the not-so-quiet laughter. Pretend I was sick and avoid another round of “Look who’s trying to fit into jeans again.” *Knock knock.* “Harriet! Come down for breakfast or you’ll be late!” my mum shouted from downstairs. Her voice cut through my thoughts like a blade so I yanked my shirt down, exhaled, and gave my mirror self a flat stare. This was me. Hi. I’m Harriet Avery. Female, if that wasn’t obvious. Seventeen. A Senior at Crestwood High—a hellhole politely disguised as a school, ruled by hockey gods and the spray-tanned cheerleaders who orbit them like glittery little moons. O
