All Chapters of When Fire Meets Ice: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

FRIEDA: If there was one person I hated more than my father, it would be HIM. Eli Rayes.He was, in all senses, the bane of my existence. A thorn in my flesh that I wished to pluck out and snap in two. Not just snapping but also to throw it into the fire and watch it burn to ashes and be blown by the wind. Yes, that was how deep my hate was for him. My father had left us with nothing, nothing painful there, but Eli was trying to take away everything I had worked my entire life for. And to think that I even tried to make friends with him when he first came!! What was I even thinking? I stood afar, watching him and his clique of friends. Rather, click of ass-lickers. For some reason, he was the only significant person there. Maybe because he was the only one who wasn't saying anything stupid.He sat in the middle of the bench, one side of his earpiece fitted in his right ear and the left ear open, probably just to hear the conversations going on around him. Despite the loud nois

ELI: And that was when my worst nightmare began. If I had known, I would have exchanged my number when Zayn offered. I hadn't listened to him and that was why I was now stuck with her. What was even her name again? "Mr. Rhodes, there has to be a misunderstanding here. I can't be seat or study partners with this guy," She sounded desperate. "I can't even stand him." She pleaded her case. But I guess she was right. I couldn't stand her either. Always smiling, always ready to help someone whenever they were in need, and not to mention how she studies so hard, just to impress her classmates. She didn't even need the scholarship for anything aside from proving to everyone that she was the best. She even tried to impress me when I first got here. She was desperate to make us work as friends but I wasn't ready to be in a friendship or any ship with a fake person. It was disgusting and I didn't want to spend the rest of my high school year being stuck by her side. "Isn't there any way w

ELI: It was bad enough that my father insisted I follow him to his girlfriend's place.I wanted to stay home and rest properly before it was time for the party but he had to spoil my plans. And the worst part, I couldn't do anything about it. He was my father, my provider, and everything in between. I hated myself for having to rely on such a control freak. But it was more terrible finding out Frosty was going to be my stepsister. I would rather slit my throat and die than call her 'sister'. "Honey, why don't you take a shower and come out for dinner?" Her mother said. She still hadn't broken her gaze from mine. She was as surprised as I was. Fate really hated me. A controlling father. A condescending brother. A fake would-be step-sister. It was all too much for one person. Frosty stormed out of the dining room. She probably wasn't going to come out of her room until we left, which was totally fine by me. It wasn't that I liked seeing her around. "This world is really such a sma

FRIEDA: 5 — 4I stared blankly at Eli as he skated across the ice with impossible speed, cutting through defenders like they were standing still. The arena lights reflected off his black helmet while the number on his jersey flashed every time he turned. I didn't want to be here. I hated the deafening roar of the crowd. I hated as the students packed on the stands, waving banners and chanting the team's name like they were at some kind of religious gathering. The smell of popcorn, cold air, and sweat mixed made my stomach turn.It was as though I was reliving a terrible event. One that had scarred my heart so badly that it was now hard to forget. But I couldn't refuse when Chloe invited me to watch the game. She said she wanted to support Eli and even though we were enemies, I still went with her. We hadn't even discussed what happened at the party. Why was Eli standing behind me? Why was Chloe there too? I was blank, confused, curious. I wanted to ask Chloe but I hadn't found t

FRIEDA: I was elated because it was Thursday. My shift always ended early, which meant, I had a lot of time to recharge before my next shift. As soon as classes ended for the day, I hurried to carry my books. I couldn't wait to ditch my 'so-called' study partner. "Where are you in a hurry to?" He asked.I rolled my eyes and looked at him. He had his brow raised. "What is it?" I felt annoyed just by the fact that he was talking to me. “Don’t act dumb, Frosty. Remember we have to submit our study report tomorrow to Mr. Rhodes? Don’t tell me you forgot.”“Damn,” I groaned. “Isn’t there any way we can just fake something and give it to him?” I suggested. “Isn’t that new?” He asked, amusement laced in his voice. “I didn't expect Miss Perfect to suggest faking anything.”“Miss Perfect? Where did that come from? Besides, the feeling is mutual. It’s not like you want to study with me.” I stood up, flinging my bag over my shoulder. “I definitely don’t want to but I have no choice. And
