All Chapters of Fake Dating My Ex’s Rival Hockey Captain : Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

VIOLETTAOutside the arena, the whole campus was buzzing.Tonight was the National Championship Game.Students flooded the entrance dressed in school colors while music blasted from giant speakers and chants echoed across the parking lot.If we won, the University of Michigan Wolverines would be lifting their first championship trophy in three years.My fingers found my phone before I could stop them.I could feel Ollie’s eyes on me as I unlocked it for what had to be the hundredth time that morning.“Are you going to keep checking your phone the whole time we’re here?” Ollie whispered, peering at my screen and catching me off guard. “I’ve watched you reread that message at least twenty times.”I quickly locked it and scowled at him.“What?”Ollie snorted loudly enough to earn a few curious glances from passing students, “Please tell me, for the love of God, you’re not trying to decipher what your little boyfriend meant by surprise.”I didn’t answer because he was right.Logan Whitake

CASSIANRed.That was what I had called her the night we first met but when her eyes met mine across the rink earlier today, it was obvious she didn’t remember me.I wasn’t sure why I’d helped her, all I had known and thought at that moment was Derek going completely out of line before my mind went blank.Now, as I carried her toward my truck, Nico’s question replayed inside my head.“Why do you still have eyes on a woman who doesn’t even remember you? You could have any puck bunny on campus.”I could… but they weren’t Violetta.Violetta Monroe was simply… fascinating.Over the last three months, my eyes had developed the irritating habit of finding her wherever she was. Whether she was sprinting across campus with a camera hanging around her neck or laughing with her friends outside the journalism building, somehow my attention always drifted back to her.My fascination with her also made me realize Logan Whitaker was nothing but a pathetic coward hiding behind a charming smile and

VIOLETTAI couldn’t move, even though Cassian had already disappeared back inside his house as though he hadn’t just kissed me.My fingers slowly drifted to my lips.He actually kissed me.I hated that the first person I thought about was Logan. In two years of dating, not a single kiss we’d shared had made my heart race the way that one had.The rapid clicking of cameras finally pulled me back to reality.“Oh my God…”I looked around in horror.And I sighted very familiar faces, almost immediately I could feel my phone buzzing.From Campus photographers to campus bloggers and even some coursemates of mine… this was insane. Three people were literally standing on a bench just to get a better angle.College journalism students were insane and that was coming from a journalism student.“VIOLETTA!”An Uber screeched to a stop in front of the house, and the passenger door flew open.For a second, it felt like I was in a movie. What the hell was happening?Ollie leaned so far across, pract

Violetta’s POVWithout looking back, I walked away with Cassian while Logan kept calling my name from behind us.“Are you really going to throw away everything we shared when I really need you?” I heard him shout after me.I felt my grip tighten around Cassian’s hand and kept walking, almost dragging him along with me. Surprisingly and thankfully, he didn’t complain… he simply matched my pace, letting me pull him.I couldn’t believe I’d almost fallen for Logan’s little display of jealousy.Could I even call it that? It seemed more like he was angry because, for the first time, I wasn’t waiting around for him to choose me.God.He was such a selfish prick.What on earth had I ever seen in that man that had made me abandon every ounce of common sense?The thought alone made me cringe.Only when we were far enough away did Cassian gently guide me toward one of the empty benches lining the hallway.I didn’t even realize I was still holding his hand until he carefully slipped his fingers f
