YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME

CHAPTER 1/NATHAN/I walked down the hallway of the humanities building feeling a slight mix of nervousness and excitement. I was finally going to get my recommendation letter today.I adjusted the strap of my backpack, checked my watch and knocked on the door of office 304."Come in," called Dr. Marshall’s muffled voice.I walked in, already priming my polite smile. Dr. Marshall, the Head of the Economics Department, was buried behind stacks of midterm assessments."Ah, Nathan. Right on time, as always," Marshall said, peering over his reading glasses. He gestured to the leather chair across from him. "Sit."I sat down, keeping my posture straight. I didn't want to waste time. "Thank you, sir. I assume you called me in regarding the recommendation letter for the SiporaTech Internship?""Straight to the point." Marshall smiled, leaning back. He pulled a sealed envelope from his top drawer and laid it on the desk. "I wrote it this morning. And honestly, Nathan, it’s one of the best let

I HATE THIS GUY

CHAPTER 2/MAVERICK/My lungs were still burning when I jogged up the library stairs. I was twenty minutes late, my damp hair was sticking to my forehead, and my duffel bag slung over my shoulders. Coach had kept us on the ice an extra half hour to drill power plays, completely ignoring the frantic looks I kept throwing at the arena clock.I pushed through the doors of the library and instantly fixed my posture. I slapped a practiced, easy smile on my face as a couple of freshmen girls recognized me and started whispering. I gave them a quick nod, but inside, I was worried about everything.Between morning skates, afternoon film sessions, scouts flying in from Chicago next week, and my dad calling every single night to ask about my stats, I felt like I was getting to my limit. And now, I had to deal with this statistics tutor. I pulled out my phone to check the text he’d sent me yesterday. I could tell from how he typed that he was an uptight person who'd try to give me a hard time.I

SPEAK OF THE DEVIL

CHAPTER 3/MAVERICK/My jaw still ached from how hard I’d been clenching my teeth since yesterday afternoon. I threw my hockey stick into my locker and slammed the metal door shut, the sound echoing through the varsity changing room."Whoa, easy there, Captain," Miller said, ducking as he walked past me with a roll of grip tape. "The ice didn't do anything to you.""That's clearly not my problem here," I muttered, ripping off my sweaty jersey and tossing it into the laundry bin.I was still furious. No, scratch that—I was humiliated. I had spent twenty-three years on this earth being the guy everyone wanted to please. Coaches, scouts, girls, guys—it didn't matter. I smiled, and doors opened. But yesterday, that little statistics nerd had looked at me like I was a piece of garbage stuck to the bottom of his shoe. He'd asked me if I was stupid and those words kept playing on a loop in my head, making my blood boil all over again.He had threatened my career. He held my entire future in

IF I DON'T GET MY SHIT TOGETHER

CHAPTER 4/NATHAN/I rubbed my eyes, staring at the glowing screen of my laptop. It was nearly 5:30 PM, and the living room of my small apartment was quiet except for the scratching of a pencil. Across the coffee table, Maverick was hunched over a sheet of practice problems, his tongue poking out slightly between his teeth as he calculated a standard deviation.It was our fifth session, and against my better judgment, I was actually starting to tolerate him.After that disastrous first day in the library, I had expected a total nightmare. But once we moved the lessons to my apartment because he kept complaining about the library chairs, something changed. He actually started trying and I began to know him a little better. Turns out he wasn't completely brainless, he just lacked any form of academic discipline. His grades were climbing into a safe passing zone, and the looming threat of losing my SiporaTech recommendation letter didn't feel as heavy anymore."Hey, Nathan," Maverick mu

HE CALLED ME CUTE

CHAPTER 5/NATHAN/For the past two weeks, I had finally managed to get my shit together. Ever since that Tuesday when Maverick had called me cute and ruffled my hair, I had built my walls back up, thicker than before. I kept our tutoring sessions strictly professional and stopped any in-house lessons. I was pulling myself back from the edge because I knew falling for a straight hockey captain would only end in a complete disaster for me.By Friday night, I thought I was completely safe. I was in my pajamas, sitting in bed, and scrolling through my laptop when my phone started buzzing on the nightstand at 11:45 PM.I picked it up. It was a text from Mave.“Teeach. Pick me up. Black Horse Pub.”I stared at the screen and rolled my eyes. “Are you crazy?” I typed back a fast response. “Call an Uber. I am not your personal driver.”I knew that extending the lessons was already a big mistake and this was proof. I never showed have given in to him and Dr. Marshall.A minute later, my phone
