บททั้งหมดของ THE JOCK’S CONTRACT WITH THE NERD: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 9

*LOGAN*"Logan."I stared at the papers on the desk in front of me, barely registering the words on the page, and my mind was somewhere else entirely."Logan, are you listening to me?"I blinked and quickly looked up. The woman sitting across from me stared with a serious expression, and she had been talking for the past few minutes, but I hadn't heard most of it."Sorry," I muttered. "Yes. I'm listening."Dr. Rebecca Morgan, my academic advisor, leaned back in her chair and folded her hands over the file in front of her. I knew that look because it was the same look professors gave you when they were disappointed but still trying to decide whether you were worth the trouble, and my stomach tightened."What did I just say?" she asked.I stared at her because I had absolutely no idea what she had just said. I rubbed the back of my neck and let out a quiet breath."You were talking about my grades.""Yes."She opened the file again and glanced down at the papers. "More specifically, I w

It was five o’clock already and I was in my room staring at my phone when I heard the knock on the dorm door. I glanced at the time again and it was 5:01 p.m., which meant she was exactly on time. I had expected Lily to be late because she looked like the kind of person who would spend ten minutes checking her notes before leaving the house, but apparently I had judged her wrong.I heard my roommate Tyler get up from his bed and say,“I got it.”I immediately sat up because absolutely not, Tyler could not be the one to open that door. I jumped off my bed and rushed past him just as he was reaching for the handle, and I told him quickly,“I've got it.”Tyler frowned at me and said,“You've got what?”“The door.”“I can see that.”“I mean I'll open it.”He stared at me for a few seconds before moving aside with his arms folded while saying,“Okay, weird.”I tried to act normal as I opened the door because I did not want him asking who was coming to see me and I definitely did not want h

I turned around and immediately recognized the person standing beside our row.Of course it had to be Samantha.She was one of those people who somehow knew everything that happened on campus before anyone else did. If someone broke up, Samantha knew. If two students were secretly seeing each other, Samantha probably knew before they even admitted it to themselves. She was always carrying her phone, always watching, always ready to turn somebody else's business into the next big piece of campus gossip.And now she was looking directly at me.She leaned closer and lowered her voice so the professor wouldn't hear us."Are you dating Lily Parker?"I could feel Lily looking at me from beside me.Samantha raised an eyebrow."You know," she added, "the nerd?""Yes," I said, although the word came out with a slight stammer. "I mean, yes, I'm dating Lily. And don't call her the nerd."She looked at Lily, then back at me."When did you guys start dating?"I shifted in my seat."Can this questi

*Logan*"Mouth infection?"I couldn't stop myself from saying it. The moment the words left my mouth I saw Lily's face change. She looked embarrassed all over again and quickly looked away from me. I tried not to laugh. I really did. But the whole situation had been ridiculous from the beginning. One minute we had been standing in the middle of a crowded hallway with everyone shouting for us to kiss. The next minute Lily had announced to the entire university that she couldn't kiss me because she had a mouth infection. I had never heard anything like it.She adjusted the strap of her bag on her shoulder and started walking. I followed beside her."You could have said anything," I told her. "Anything at all."She glanced at me. "I panicked.""I noticed.""I didn't know what else to say.""You couldn't have said you weren't comfortable kissing me in front of everyone?"She looked at me for a moment before shaking her head. "That would have made Samantha even more suspicious."I couldn't

She turned around. "What?" I walked over to the closet and pulled out one of my hockey shirts. It was one of my Northlake hockey shirts with my number printed on the back. I held it out to her. "You'll need this tomorrow." She stared at the shirt. "For practice?" "Yeah." She looked at me as if I had just said something completely ridiculous. "Really?" I nodded. "Yeah." She took the shirt from me and looked at the number on the back. "You actually want me to wear this?" "Of course." "Why?" I gave her a look. "You're my girlfriend. Remember?" She immediately corrected me. "Fake girlfriend." "Yes. Sure." I tried to sound casual but I couldn't help smiling.She folded the shirt over her arm. "Okay. I'll wear it." "Good." She moved toward the door again. I followed her out of my room. We were almost at the entrance when I noticed someone walking down the hallway outside my room . I couldn't see the person's face clearly yet. My first thought was that it might be someone from the team. Then
