"Ugh, back to this God-forsaken school," Trudy said as she stepped out of the car."For someone who is very smart, you sure do hate school a lot," Lia, her best friend, followed behind her. Unlike Trudy, Lia was excited about the new semester as they walked through the school hallway. However, her enthusiasm quickly faded when her gaze fell on Asher, who was kissing Harper in front of his locker. It was supposed to be her, or at least it used to be."Hey, are you okay?" Trudy interrupted her thoughts."Yeah," Lia replied, forcing a smile that Trudy could see right through."You will be alright. Look, nobody cares anymore..." Trudy waved her hands dismissively. "...it's a new term; we're forgetting about the past and moving forward." She put her arm around Lia’s shoulders.Lia only nodded and headed to her next class. Could she really forget what had happened? After all, it had taken place right in this classroom.Six Months Earlier Classes had just ended, and Lia hurried to Asher's

"What do you mean he doesn't have the letter? Then how does he know the content?" Trudy asked while driving. They had left the school environment and were headed home."Apparently, he read it over my shoulder in class," Lia explained."Okay, but still, that's an invasion of privacy," Trudy pointed out."That’s not the point! Who has the letter now? I can't let it land in the hands of someone who hates me!" Lia was starting to panic; she couldn't go through what she went through last semester, not again. Not ever."Just relax, okay? We will sort it out. It's probably not a big deal," Trudy tried to calm her down."Okay," Lia sighed."And what's with Tyler, anyway?""He’s going to help me move on from Asher, and I'm going to help him confront a girl he’s secretly in love with.""Really? Didn't he have a crush on you in middle school?" Trudy said out of the blues."That was a long time ago! He must have go

Asher’s fury boiled over as he grabbed Tyler by the collar, "You son of a bitch, how dare you?" His breath was heavy with anger. Tyler, defiantly smirking, lifted his chin and met Asher's glare with an cold stare. "You might want to take your hands off me, princess," he taunted, with a hint of mockery in his voice. "I'll kill you," Asher growled, his fist clenched and ready to start a fight. "I dare you," Tyler shot back, unfazed, a hint of challenge in his tone. Just as Asher's fist was about to connect, Lia surged forward, stepping between the two boys. "Stop it, both of you! You're causing a scene, and if you don’t want to get expelled, I suggest you back off!" She pushed Asher away firmly, the reality of her words crashing down on him. He stumbled back, reluctantly releasing Tyler. Asher spat out, "See you around, pretty boy," before storming off, tension followin

Lia settled into the bleachers, her heart racing with excitement as she watched the boys compete on the ice. Tyler stood out, gliding effortlessly across the rink with a grace that left her in awe. It was as if he had been destined to play hockey from the moment he could skate. With each swift movement, he danced around his opponents, demonstrating a skill that took both Lia and the crowd by surprise, especially when he outmaneuvered Asher, a player known to be the king of hockey in Crestwood.As the game reached its climax, an electric buzz filled the air, the spectators torn between who to cheer for. Yet, through it all, Lia's voice rang clear, as she chanted Tyler's name, her support unwavering.After the final buzzer sounded, signaling the end of the game, Lia approached Tyler with an impressed smile. "You didn’t tell me you were that good at hockey," she said, playfully patting his shoulder, her eyes sparkling with admiration.Tyler chuckled, a hint of modesty in his tone. "Been
