VIANAI just sat there, completely stunned with my lips parted at the words she had just uttered and I couldn't even find the words to respond.Marissa back with Alvin? She had to be completely out of her mind.“You’re joking,” I finally managed to get out, my voice sounding incredibly dry. “You have to be joking, Marissa. This isn't funny.”“Do I look like I’m joking, Viana?” She stared at me with a dead expression and my hands began to feel sweaty. Marissa then slid her phone across the table, the screen lighting up as it stopped right in front of my hands.I reluctantly looked down, and my breath hitched.It was a photo. A very clear, high-quality photo.There was no mistaking who it was. The lighting on the court was dim, but you could perfectly see Alvin’s face, his hands firmly gripping my waist, and my lips pressed against his. It wasn't blurry like the one that had been all over the internet. This one? It was perfect and you could make out every feature of my face and it was u

VIANAThe moment Vance’s lips pressed against mine, a jolt of panic snapped me out of my trance.I shoved his chest with all the strength I could muster, stumbling backwards against the next row of the bleachers. My heart was pounding so hard against my ribs I thought it might burst right through my chest.“Vance, stop!” I stammered, my voice shaking as I frantically wiped my mouth with the back of my hand. “What are you—no. No, I can’t do this.”Vance blinked, looking more confused than offended. He took a step toward me, his hands raised in a calming gesture. “Viana, wait. Relax. I thought we were having a moment here. You were crying, and I was there to help. Don’t tell me you didn’t feel that connection.”“There is no connection!” I said, my voice rising as I shook my head. I felt a cold sweat breaking out on the back of my neck. “I’m not interested, Vance. Seriously. I only came out here to be alone. I shouldn't have said anything to you.”Vance frowned, his jaw tightening slight

ALVINThe sound of my skates slicing into the ice echoed through the empty rink. I slammed the hockey puck against the boards, retrieved it, and took another hard shot at the net.It went straight into the top corner. A perfect goal. But it did absolutely nothing to erase the burning anger in my chest.We were done with dry land training since the rink was under maintenance and the coach wanted us to sprint more to increase our agility and speed. Now that the rink was up and running, we could begin actual practice for the season on ice.I skated back to the blue line, dragged another puck toward me, and hit it even harder. I didn't care that practice had ended an hour ago. I didn't care that my muscles were screaming at me to stop. I just needed to keep moving so I wouldn't have to think about her.But it wasn't working. Every time I closed my eyes, the image of Vance leaning in on those bleachers flashed in my mind. I saw him pressing his lips against Viana’s and worse that she just

ALVIN Josh had her in his arms before I could even take a step forward. I stood completely frozen at the back of the crowd, watching him lift her off the ground effortlessly. Viana wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and buried her face entirely into his shoulder, hiding away from everyone. The crowd closed around them instantly, whispering and murmuring as they followed Josh toward the parking lot. I was left standing there on the edge of the field, staring at the space where she had just been lying. My chest felt incredibly tight, and a familiar, suffocating panic started rising up my throat. I needed to get to her. I needed to see if she was okay. I started moving forward, pushing past a few people to follow them, but someone firmly grabbed my arm, pulling me back. “Let them go, Alvin. She has more than enough people fussing over her right now,” Marissa said, her voice droppin

VIANA "Do you hate me?" The words left my mouth before my brain could even register the thought, slipping past my lips and the moment they hung in the air, I wanted to reach out and yank them back. Why had I said that? Why now, when everything between us was so complicated and ruined? Alvin froze with his back still turned to me, his shoulders stiffening slightly. Slowly he turned around with a confused expression on his face. "Why would you ask me that, Viana?" His voice was flat and his face was in a fixed stoic expression. "Where is this coming from?" I opened my mouth to answer, the truth bubbling up in my throat. Because you've been treating me like I'm no one to you but a stranger. Because I miss you so much that it hurts. Before I could say those words, Marissa’s smug face showed up in my head and I could still hear her voice warning me of exactly what would hap
