That obviously only piqued my interest more. Call it curiosity or just wanting all the facts, but I needed to know. Before my parents adopted me, I went through some dark shit. And there’s definitely some dark energy lingering in this school.
Going through my next few classes should be a breeze. I just need to get through my nursing classes. I know what I’m doing when I leave here and these will just help me get exactly where I need to be. I’ve only been here a year but I’m not a big ‘people person’. The only friends I have are the girls at Xi Phi Delta, the sorority I’m in, if you even want to call them friends. It’s mainly a big house of women where we’re forced to be friendly, but not really friends. Liv and Zova are my best friends. The main reason I’m even in this sorority is because my parents are like royalty at this school. They are part of that ‘old money’ that funds the university. The worst part about the sorority is that most of the girls here are seeing guys on the hockey team, which means Parker tags along with them, probably just to annoy me.
Finishing up my classes for the day, I head towards the sorority house. Ready to get this stupid uniform skirt off. I’ll never understand uniforms but if we get caught in street clothes at school, we get an infraction.Always some dumb rule.Walking up to my room and gathering my things for a shower, my phone buzzes. Pulling it from my bag and looking at the screen, I see it’s from the one person that never fails to keep in touch with me.
Raven: Hey babe, how’s school? Still liking it there?
Me: Meh, can’t complain. This is where the parents wanted me to go. So just doing my part until I can leave. How’s everyone there?
Raven: We’re good. Same old job, different day. Me and Eddie were talking about you today and I just wanted to check in.
Me: All good. Tell the old man hi for me.
Raven: Will do, kiddo. Text me anytime. Remember, when you’re ready to come back, there will always be a place for you here.
Me: I know, thanks Raven! Give the guys hell babe.
Raven: Always do lmfao.
Laughing and closing the thread, I put my phone on the charger, grab some clothes and go into my bathroom. The sorority oozes wealth, a clear reflection of the deep pockets of the families here. Me and Zova are the only ones that have our own room with a huge en suite bathroom. The rest of the girls wanted a roommate. With as many girls that live here and their guy friends in and out, I’m definitely glad I have my own room and bathroom. Fuck sharing, and I’ll be damned if I listen to someone have sex beside me. After having to deal with people throughout the day at school, I just want to be in my own space when I can.
Chapter 2
Parker
Walking into the locker rooms, I’m basically on autopilot. How does one girl get under my skin so much? And why do I want her so bad? We fucked once, and out of all the girls I’ve been with, she’s the one I keep wanting to go back to. Hell, I’ve even tried to let some of the puck bunnies get me off, but nope, my mind always wanders back to Sydney. Seeing her ass earlier in that tight plaid uniform skirt doesn’t help my already hardening cock. Readjusting myself, a throat clears and I look up, seeing Hayes standing in front of me.
“Bro, where are you at? I said your name more than once.” He says, quirking a brow at me.
“Umm, I’m right here idiot.” I reply back.
“No dumbass, your head. Where’s your head at?” He questions and raises a brow.
“Which one?” I reply back with a smirk.
“For fucks sake, let’s go to practice before coach has us both running drills.” He laughs, slapping the back of my head as he walks by.
After making our way out of the locker room and onto the ice, we go through the plays for our next game. Since we’re down a teammate, we have to make sure the subs are ready and know all of our moves. Skating side by side, me, Hayes and Ezran start working on warm up drills. Once we’re feeling good and ready, we make passes to one another before hitting the puck to Phoenix, our goalie. We go through all of our plays, over and over again, making sure we’re all in sync.
Ripping the mask off my face and wiping the sweat away, we all skate off the ice and head back into the locker rooms. Sitting down, I start taking my skates off and putting all my things into my bag. Grabbing the duffle, I head out and walk towards my dorm room. The one place I can be alone and just take a beat.I swear my life consists of just hockey and school.
Getting out of the shower, I wrap my towel around my waist and walk to my dresser to grab some sweats. Slipping them on, I pick up my uniform pants and look for my phone. Pulling it out and tossing my pants in the hamper, I scroll my contacts until I find the one I’m looking for.
Me: What are your plans tonight?
Sydney: Who the fuck is this?
Sitting on my bed, I chuckle to myself. My little Ice Queen doesn’t even realize it’s me. She will though.
Me: Take one guess, but that’s all I’m giving you.
Sydney: Well, considering I only talk to a couple of people at this school and I have their numbers saved, I’m going to take a wild guess and just assume it’s the only boy who annoys my soul? ??
Me: Ouch. I can feel my heart breaking, Ice Queen. Lol, but your guess is correct.
Sydney: How the fuck did you even get my number? Nvm. What do you want?
Me: I want to hangout. You don’t need to worry your pretty self on how I got your number. I have my ways, baby. ??
