Chapter 21 

Uhm, so. After this isseason, you’re expected to play. In the playoffo?” 

Vrah

Alex hums. His hands are still wrapped with bandages, though he seems to be able to move them just fine. The bandage on his nose may come off soon as well, though he flinches when he scrunches his nose

Ever since the most recent game, we’ve been hanging out in school more often. If we pass each other, we might even walk to class. It’s strange, not taking the back hallways like I usually do, but the natural light coming in the windows makes things look brighter 

We’ve got a few more weekend games, but playoff should start a bit after April 1st). We’ve got this, thoughHe grins, Bexing his arm. We don’t go down easy, and that last fight won’t stop us.” 

Hmm. Just be carrrlimmh. Careful to not, uhm. Gei 100 hurt.” 

Yeah, yeah, no worries. I’ll be safe. Ah, this is my turn here.” 

With an easy we didn’t have before, he pulls me in and kisses the top of my head. Despite feeling my heartbeat ramp up immediately, I don’t feel the urge to shove him away like I once did

Instead, when he starts walking off, I grab his sleeve. He looks back, curious 

Lean down.” 

A curious smile comes on his face, but he does as I ask. I quickly kiss his check before scurrying off, and 1 hear him call after me. When I don’t reply, he just laughs 

Although some nearby girls give me a frustrated look, they don’t do or say anything to me. Seeing us become more comfortable with each other, I suppose they’ve gotten the picture. Good riddance, because no other bullies have come to bother me in drama club

When Alex and I meet up for lunch, he’s holding flash cards

Hey, so, you’ve learned a little bit about hockey, but I want to make sure you remember the important stuff.” 

I stare at the cards, then at him 

Are you sseriously going to. Quiz me on my hockey knowledge?” 

-Why not? Ought to be a fun little game!He looks around and finds a good table for us to sit at him sitting on one side as I sit on the other

Thenwhat do I get as a rrrreward?” 

Hmm how about a ki—” 

Other than a kiss,I quickly cut in 

He snorts, though, maybe it’s my imagination, but I think 

but I think the tips of his cars 

cars are a linde red

We settle on a reward of him getting quizzed on an equal amount of theater terms, just to see how much we know about each other’s interests. I agree, though he seems somewhat surprised when I don’t suddenly make any flash cards. I just take out a piece of paper

Hm! What’s that for?” 

Totally up which ones. You get correct or wrong” 

Don’t you need to know the questions you want to ask?” 

I look up at him from under my bangs, managing something of a grin of my own. 

Unlike someone, I don’t need flash cardsss.” 

His eyebrows raise up at my snark, eyes shining with 

h those speckles of gold I’ve come to 

o appreciate

Hooh, then, loser has to post on Instapost an embarrassing photo of themselves.” 

On you’ve done that wi 

with my y picturess already” 

Chapter 21 

Don’t ignote ine 

He does 

ex pist that, holding upon of his canks as he pops some chicken into his musich

What does it mean to get facewashindi” 

Instead of continuing my protest, I try to think about it honestly. I know it can’t actually be to wash your face, but….. 

Uhmmlui your face on the for 

Nah! It’s when an opponent rubs the palm of his glove on your face. It’s just to annoy you” 

Well, they should keep their hands to themselves. Anyway What’s an antagonist” 

The look he gives me is actually a bit funny, like I’ve just asked him what a hockey puck is 

C’mon, I’ve been practicing with you enough to know what an antagonist is. It’s the bad guy” 

Nope” 

Oh, you’re pulling my fuckinleg. I know it’s the bad gu 

No,I reply, calmly writing a line under the section I’ve called wrongon the paper. It’s the opposing character to the protagonist.” 

Which is the bad guy

My eyelids lower as I stare at him

And if the protagonist is a villain?“ 

Alex opens his mouth to protest. But then he pauses, Looks up, his mouth twisting

Then he scrunches a bit in his seat, nose wrinkling. I smile back triumphantly, to which he rolls his eyes

Okay fine, you got me there. Get this one then.” 

As we go back and forth, trying to get each other to choke up on terms we use, I can’t help but f getting another theater term wrong. I glance over to where the gaze is coming from 

feel

a pair of eyes on me. When Alex 

x grumbles about 

Oliver stares over at me from an isolated table in the corner of the cafeteria. He’d usually be sitting with his friends from hockey club, but I know things have been strained between them

Alex expressed that it wasn’t really Oliver’s fault that he slipped and cut Henry with his skate blade. However, on top of the injury, he’d been acting rather strange the past few days

Kinda standoffish, more agitated. I think the thing that was between you and him was really fucking with him, though he wouldn’t admit it.” 

At first, I thought Alex was exaggerating to make me feel better. But now, considering the kickedpuppy expression Oliver’s throwing at me, I’m inclined to believe him

The expression quickly shifts into worry and fear once I reach forward and cap on Alex’s arm, looking away from us 

Huh? What is 

I keep staring in Oliver’s direction, watching as he squirms before he stands up with his tray, finding an even more isolated place to 

Nothing anymore.” 

Perhaps I was a bat mean back there in the cafeteria. And yet, I won’t deny that seeing Oliver squirm was pretty exhilarating

Especially after what he put me through. What he said to me

I think I probably be holding this grudge for a while, even though the solution is hanging onto Ales. Well, Alex isn’t a bad guy,

so I don’t 

i think

My life has become rare with us doing this fake dating thing, and he’s well, he’s fun to be around. I feel like we’ve gotten into the swing of things

Chapter 21 

not anxious over whether we follow the rules of our own plans anymore

I can understand how and why other girls got so jealous after thinking he really was their boyfriend 

Boston” 

I blink, hearing someone call my last name. The voice is familiar, though I’m really hoping 

And my hopes are dashed immediately, Danielle walking from the other hall Was she waiting

for me here? No way

lly weird. thar’d be really 

You must be real proud of yourself now, huh! Just bagging and screwing whoever you want, no matter what, right

She growls, her outfit immaculate but her expression hot with anger. Being taller than me, she uses her height to corner me against someone’s locker, looking down at me like I’m disgusting

I don’t even know what this is about and considering I was in a good mood earlier, I’m feeling more irritation with my fear than usual. As such when I look up at her. I don’t completely hide it, leading her to scoff at me

So you’ve just accepted being sloppy?Her hands, clench as she crosses her arms. Wow, I’d almost be impressed if you weren’t trying to fuck my new boyfriend, too.” 

Excuse met
