All Chapters of Ruined by the Hockey Captain: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

~RHEA~ My heart thumped slightly as I stared at his lips. Kiss him now? In front of all these people?Zander stared down at me expectantly, then raised an eyebrow when I hesitated.“If you don't want to do it then…” I shut him up by pressing a swift kiss on his lips, then pulled back quickly with my eyes wide.Despite the kiss being short, everything was riled up within me just from it.A slow smirk appeared on his face.“Whoa, what is going on here?” A voice uttered before Zander could say anything, snapping me out of my trance.Only then did I realize that everyone was staring at us in shock, envy, and confusion.“I knew it was only a matter of time” Kai said smugly as he wiggled his eyebrows at us, and I immediately took a step back from Zander.“I'll see you later, bye!” I squeaked then turned and walked away as fast as I could while everyone whispered between themselves as they watched me.“Is she dating Zander?”“What the actual fuck was that? Zander has never let any girl k

~RHEA~ The next morning I woke up with a sense of clarity.Heather was right, I needed to play my part regardless of if Zander was compliant or not. At least I needed to pay him back for all that he had done for me.Helping him stay on his team was the least that I could do.So I got up from bed and began my research. I made a schedule for both of us that would cater to both our schedules then wrote out a list of things we needed to do before having it tapped to the fridge so Zander could see it easily.If he didn't want to then that's fine but I was making an effort and that had to count for something.I quickly had my bath and although my nerves were eating me up because this was the first time since the scandal I was showing my face around campus, I knew I couldn't hide out forever.Plus, my mother would scold me if she learnt about me missing class and I wasn't in the mood for any of her lectures.The drive to the lecture hall was dreadful. Would anyone still remember? Would the

~CHASE~ I was seething with rage as I watched Zander and Rhea. So much so that I could barely focus on whatever Mrs Agnes was saying.Were they really dating now?“My butt still hurts from being pushed to the ground” Sienna murmured beside me.“I'm talking to you, Chase” She said after I didn't reply to her and I reluctantly tore my eyes away from Rhea and turned to her.She peered up at me with her bright blue eyes and for a second, my anger softened and I reached out to caress her cheek.I knew going for Sienna had been a dive mood, considering the fact that Rhea had been friends with her but I couldn't start my college life with the reputation of being a murderer's boyfriend.Granted, I believed Rhea and I knew she didn't kill her sister but no one else knew that.Being with someone like Sienna was an obvious choice. She easily became popular and had all the qualities an athlete's girlfriend should have.I didn't love her but she was perfect, perfect in my arms.Despite that, Rh

~RHEA~We had to drive out of school to get to this boutique, and I could smell the expense before we even walked in.The boutique exuded quiet luxury. Polished marble floors gleamed beneath soft lightening while designer pieces hugged neatly on the widely spaced racks. There were no flashy displays or sale signs, just understated elegance that spoke of wealth. It was the kind of place that one had to ask for the price, then they definitely didn't belong here.That person was me because I definitely didn't fit in.“Zander” I called out softly as I tugged on his arm, and he leaned down slowly. “I don't think it's wise for us to be in here”I whispered in his ear, and he chuckled before walking further into the boutique, leaving me standing there dumbfounded.After a while, I followed behind him and watched as the store manager greeted him with a bright smile on her face.“Mr Cole, it's good to see you here again” She uttered, and I frowned. Again? But this was a women's boutique.Jea

~RHEA~ “I… I think I still haven't something to do with Mrs Agnes so I'm going to leave you guys to it” I quickly said with a nervous smile then turned on my feet.“Come” Zander said calmly but the intensity in his tone was enough to make me halt in my steps.I let out a sigh as I stared up at the ceiling. What was wrong with me? I agreed to this, didn't I?I slowly turned back around and flashed him a fake smile when I saw the amused glint dancing in his eyes. “I guess I'll do that later” I muttered as I walked towards the desk and sank into the space beside Zander.I tensed slightly as Zander suddenly wrapped his arms around my shoulder and pulled me closer.“It's good to see you again, Rhea” Aisha said with a smile while being snuggled up to her Fiance.The table was filled with the hockey players and their lackeys or significant others. Everyone was chatting away and at that moment, they all just seemed like normal people and not how movies or books used to portray them.I didn
