All Chapters of The Goalie's Tutor: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Aria's POV "Do you want to see who it is? Should I open up?' Lily glances at me, her hand hovering above the doorknob. It's not like I can hide in here forever, so I just nod. As soon as she opens the door, Aiden's face comes into view. Lily gives me a 'what is he doing here?' kind of look but I shrug in reply. To be honest, it baffles me that Aiden is here, and not with his friend. "What are you doing here? It's either your lack of reading abilities paid off or you deliberately ignored the sign outside. Girls' bathroom." Lily says in a cold voice. Aiden ignores Lily, he takes a few steps toward me. "Hey," he says. "Uh... hi," I reply. "Look, I'm sorry. I didn't know he'd react that way after watching the video. Jason is..." "A jerk." Lily cuts in. "We know. Now do us a favour and leave." "I'm here to apologise," Aiden says, ignoring Lily again. "Jason is my best friend. I know that he can be annoying at times but trust me when he gets to know you... When you get to know him

Aria's POV "What are you wearing?" Lily's frantic voice echoes through my phone speakers. "Uhm... A grey dress with my school sneakers? I topped the dress with Drew's university hoodie." I responded meekly as I manoeuvred my car into the diner's parking lot. "You are wearing your brother's old hoodie to a date? Arianna Bennett, have you totally learnt nothing from me?" I roll my eyes. "It's cute. My mum said so," "What do I do with you? It's okay. You're probably there so it's fine. Just Facetime me when you get home with all the juicy deets, okay?" "Yeah, love you, mean it." I smile. "Hate you, kidding." I hang up and exhale. Here goes nothing. As I enter the diner, I gasp at the population. It's packed tonight. But in the midst of the many bodies, I spot Matt. His goofy grin is hard to miss. Plus, he's in a red hoodie, which singles him out. "Hey," I say, smiling as I slide into the booth beside him. "Aria..." He smiles easily, his eyes roaming over my face. I hope he l

Jason's POV "Jason, where are you going?" Liam asks, eyeing me wearily as I shove my hands in my pockets and walk out of the classroom. "Anywhere but here," I say. I walk down the hallway, ignoring the stares, the drooling, the fascination and awe... there's really nothing to be fascinated about. Maybe a week ago, before I discovered my grades were trash... when I used to feel like the king of the ice? Now I feel like crap. A week without my spot in the team is making me seriously lose my shit. My head keeps spiralling. I need an outlet. I have to pour out the pent-up frustration and anger on someone. As I walk past the garden, I stop. Soft laughter filters through the wind to my ears. I can smell the strawberry and chocolate perfume... which says so much about my tutor. What is she doing here? Nobody comes here. And why is she laughing? I turn around and walk forward to see. There she is, standing with the new guy. My jaw ticks as he says something and she laughs about it. A

Aria's POV"Drew!" I yell, leaving my seat and running into his open arms. My brother holds me to himself, laughing as I tighten my arms around him, drinking in his cologne, my head to his chest. This is one of the rare times I get to admit my brother is taller than I am.When I pull away, I look up at him and smile again. Is it weird that I only saw him this morning before leaving for school and I'm acting like I haven't seen him in months? Maybe.But that's how it is for my brother and me. I wonder what he's doing here. Maybe he's here to see Dad? I try not to frown at the disturbing thought. Dad had really cut off Drew's allowance. Mum's search for a job made the tension back at home heighten. They aren't speaking. I hate thinking of how bad things have become ever since the Monroes waltzed into my family.A warm hand over my face, brushing the strands of my hair brings me back to the present. "So, you're the infamous Jason Monroe?" Drew's eyes flick to Jason.I turn around and st

Jason's POVCoach called me. The old man actually called me. He spoke to me for what felt like eternity but it was probably only thirty minutes. But the only damn information I got is that I'd get my spot back in the team if I can be good to Aria. Of course I can. And I will. If it means being on the ice again.I shove my phone in my pocket and let out a low groan when it immediately starts ringing again. I reluctantly retrieve it and glance at the caller ID. Principal's kid? Aria's calling? I swipe green and keep silent. Then the sound of her crying voice hits me. Aiden was shouting at me from across the quad, yelling something about stopping and joining the guys from a night out early, probably to hit up some bar, or a party, but I tuned him out. Her hiccups. Her cracked voice. Her teary... Since she said Lily, it's evident she called me by mistake, but still. She also said she's outside. As I slam the door, I look right and there she is, eyes puffy and red, but no tears. "Sunshi
