All Chapters of Heated Rivalry: Passion On Ice : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Samantha's POVThings were back to normal for a while; or should I say somethings were back to normal?Zeke's outburst towards Sharon had somehow circulated through the entire school.And for some odd reason, Sharon was still in the schoolI expected that, with the way she broke down in tears, she'd be out of Northbrook academy that very day.Instead, she stayed behind. Perhaps with the hope that Zeke would return to her.Zeke, on the other hand, was not doing well.He walked around like a zombie with a forced smile plastered on his face.I have asked him a million times if he was okayHis response was always the same. That he made the right call.When it was obvious that he was being drowned deeper in heartbreak.I just wished he'd settle things with her and be happy again.When I asked Adrian, he said this was the first time anyone has ever seen them have a disagreement.Well, if he doesn't want to fix things with her, the best I can do is be there for him whenever he needs me.I wa

Adrian's POVThe silence in the car on the ride back home was as silent as a graveyard.It was by pure luck that I managed to get into the car before the driver started it.Dad shifted towards the other end of the car door.I understand that he was furious because I got suspended, but acting repulsive towards his own son is just the next level of hate.Since his face was stuck to the window, I didn't stress myself in saying anything to him until we got home.Mom came out to welcome us with a glass of champagne in her hand as if the suspension called for a celebration.Which obviously she had no idea about.“School isn't on break, right? Why are you back so soon?”She asked as soon as her eyes settled on me.Dad sucked his teeth cold and hard“Don't ask me, ask your stupid son right there.”Mom's eyes shone at dad's choice of language“Alex, don't call our son stupid. I won't have that.”“Mom, don't sweat it, okay?”I walked into the house, with her behind me. “No, you two better star

Samantha's POV‘Come on, Sammy, you've got this. It can't be that hard.’Even as I tried to convince myself, alone in the room.Staring at Adrian's number on my phone screen was the best thing I could do at that point.Who knows, he might not even pick up the callI drew in steady breaths and counted one to three before my finger reached out to touch the call icon.Before I could touch it, the phone started ringing on its own.It made me jump on the bed in fright.It was Adrian, calling me.I quickly wiped the sweat that gathered on my forehead.Have the teammates told him already? Was I too late?Damn it. I picked up the call, and his face appeared on the screen.“What took you so long, Donovan?”I smiled brightly at him.“Hey Adrian, I've been trying to reach you since you left school.”He laughed heartily like I just cracked a joke.Well, it only means that he doesn't know yet. I was still safe.“Been busy with my mom. Neither of them took the suspension news well.”He didn't have

Samantha's POV.“Now I have to persuade Zeke to talk to Sharon somehow.”I munched on a cookie as I gave Adrian the rundown of how my day went.“Well, you don't have to tell Zeke. That's their problem.”“It's not as easy as it sounds. I already promised her that I would do it.”“Then break the promise. "It's not that hard, is it?”I slapped my forehead hard.Adrian was the worst person to come to for advice.“There's more, isn't there?"I rubbed my face ruefully. He could tell. He could just fucking tell that I was kind of awkward.“Arghh, she kissed me, okay. She fucking kissed me in public.”“Wow, Donovan. I think Sharon's interested in you.”“Not on the lips, smart ass, but I wonder why she would do that, though. I mean, I haven't spoken to Zeke yet.”“Hmmm, could she be trying to make him jealous?”“He wasn't even there, so I don't think that's it.”“Then it was nothing more than an appreciation kiss.”Gosh. Well, if he says so. I probably was just overthinking it.“Let's change t

Samantha's POV.The day we've all been anticipating finally arrived.The first game ever without Adrian Volkov.The rink was filled with people who came to watch how good, or should I say how badly, the team would perform with Adrian Volkov.Coach Stanley let me address the team for the first time as captain, and words just got stuck in my throat.I rubbed my hands together, a nervous smile spread across my face.Each of the players' eyes bore holes into my body.“So, are we ready or what?” They all gave a weak murmur, which wasn't very encouraging.My eyes darted towards Zeke. I was lost as to what to do, but he gave me a go-ahead nod.“Okay boys, I know this comes off as weird. Adrian's our backbone in this team. Has always been, but now's the time to show that you all are capable of doing more than you think.”Their faces began to light up as I gave the speech, and it warmed my heart.“Let's go out there and show them what the titans are made of.” I shouted at the top of my lungs
