All Chapters of Faking It With My Hockey Alpha For 90 Days : Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Chapter 12 - School Chat Aria’s POV I was still deep asleep when my phone began blowing up with notifications. I stared at it in annoyance, wondering why so many messages are coming in at the same time. I reached for the phone on my bedside table, and I saw the notifications were coming in from the academy chat.It’s either two things or one thing. They were discussing what happened in the cafeteria on the group chat, or something new must have happened in the academy.My eyes looked up to face the empty bed at the opposite end. Luca wasn’t back yet. I wondered if he also had a restless night thinking of what happened between us. My mind refused to let go of him. Every time I closed my eyes, I was back in the studio, feeling that impossible spark the moment our hands touched. Then came the kiss, warm, reckless, and confusing enough to turn my entire world upside down. Ever since then, it was as though an invisible thread had tied us together.Somewhere deep inside me, I could sense

Chapter Fourteen - Open Confrontation Luca's POVPrincipal Thyne's office smelled like lemon polish. I stood in front of his desk, hands clasped behind my back, caught sneaking into the restricted library, waiting for the lecture about responsibility and reputation."Sit, Silver."Thyne folded his hands on his desk, regarding me with the expression of a man who'd seen too many promising athletes destroy themselves with scandal. His silver hair was perfectly combed, his navy suit immaculate. Everything about him whispered control."The board called me before sunrise," Principal Thyne said, his fingers interlocked on the polished desk. "Three sponsors. Two alumni donors. Every single one of them wanted answers." He held my gaze for a long moment before speaking again. "Do you know what they all asked me?" He didn't wait for a reply. "What kind of academy allows its captain to become the center of a public scandal?" His voice remained calm, but the disappointment behind it landed harde

Chapter 16: The truthLuca's POVI watched as color drained from her face at the sound of a first date. Her eyes went wide and for a moment I saw the wolf in her, the one she'd kept buried for years, stirring with panic and something else. And for a moment, I was worried the crowd would notice. That they would see the fear beneath her shock, the confusion beneath her stillness, and realize this was all staged, all performance.But they were too blind with excitement to notice. I couldn’t risk it. I have to warn her."Don't panic," I whispered, pulling her closer before anyone could notice the fear in her eyes. "Everyone's watching us. If they realize this is fake, everything falls apart." Stepping closer, close enough to smell the sweat on her skin. I pulled her into my arms before she could pull away, before the mask could slip, before someone in the crowd would figure out. She stiffened against me. I could feel her heart hammering against my chest, terrified."I can't do this," she

Chapter 18 - Silent treatmentAria’s POVFinally, the car came to a stop, and I felt so glad as I almost threw up due to the uncomfortable silence in the car fueled by my motion sickness. I was glad I didn’t embarrass myself in the car. I wondered what Luca would have thought about me if that had happened. Marcus stepped out of the driver’s seat and opened the door, flashing a smile at me."You know you really don’t have to do this. There’s no one watching, and they possibly didn’t send any drones after us to capture the moment. I can open the door myself.” I blurted out. Maybe I just need to talk so I can forget the sickening urge to throw up."Well, I'm not doing this for the show. It’s just my way of saying I appreciate the effort you placed into today’s episode. You did great back there.” He said in a tone of a father proud of his child, almost as if I had won a lottery."Thank you," I said, smiling politely."Your acting skills are top-notch. You might have a career in the indust

Chapter 20: Dark OfferSerena's POVI pressed my back against the cold locker, knees drawn to my chest, mascara streaking down my cheeks, but I didn't bother to wipe it away. The empty hallway had been my sanctuary for twenty minutes, crying into the sink, splashing water on my face, and hoping no stranger would run into me."Serena?"I looked up, hastily scrubbing at my cheeks with the heel of my palm. Kayla stood at the end of the hallway, Marlen hovering behind her, both of them wearing expressions that mixed concern with something uglier."There you are," Kayla said, walking closer. "We've been looking everywhere. The whole school's talking about.. about"…" She stopped, glancing at Marlen. "About what happened with Luca and the new girl."I wiped my tears hurriedly, turning my face away. "I don't want to talk about it, and I don’t want to hear about them.""Well, that's too bad." Kayla crouched down, her designer skirt pooling on the dirty floor without a second thought. She grabb
