VIOLET
NEVER DATE A JOCK. It was the one rule I had when it came to boys,
but apparently, I was terrible at following it.
“Jeremy’s going to kill me,” I said as I rushed across the parking lot
with my cousin Mia at my side. It was my boyfriend’s first hockey game of
the season, and we were running twenty minutes late. I glanced at my watch
and cursed under my breath—make that thirty minutes late.
We’d been slammed by customers at the coffee shop all afternoon and
struggled to get out on time. It didn’t help that my car took her sweet-ass
time to start. Poor Betty hadn’t adjusted well to our recent move to
Sunshine Hills, Minnesota. She’d been loudly protesting the sudden change
ever since my mom dumped us here at the start of summer break.
Her tantrums only grew worse once winter arrived and the snow set in,
but I couldn’t really blame her since I was struggling with the cold too.
Neither of us belonged here. We were supposed to be cruising around in the
California sun, not stuck in this freezing hellscape for my senior year.
As if to belabor the point, my foot skidded on a patch of ice, nearly
sending me sprawling onto my back. I was even more out of my depth here
than Betty, and I was really beginning to wonder if my mom hated me. I
knew she was off chasing the job of a lifetime in Europe, but ditching me
with my uncle in the middle of nowhere, in Minnesota during winter was
just cruel.
“He’s not going to kill you,” Mia said. “He’s in the middle of a game,
and I’m sure there’s a big crowd. He’ll just assume you’re somewhere
among the masses of his adoring fans.”
“Maybe.” Jeremy was laser focused on hockey these days, so I couldn’t
imagine him searching the crowd for my face. Not when he had a game to
win. “But I’m sure one of the puck bunnies who constantly chase him
around school will tell him I was late.”
There were a lot of puck bunnies at the prestigious Sunshine Hills Prep,
but only one who particularly concerned me: Heather. Jeremy said they
were just friends, but I got the feeling I’d well and truly derailed her plans
to tie him down and become his hockey wife when I’d shown up over the
summer. I knew she wouldn’t hesitate to inform him that I’d missed the
majority of the game.
“I’m sure he won’t mind. Especially not if he wins.” Mia continued her
attempts to reassure me as she pushed through the heavy doors of the
hockey center. Even after we entered the building, I was disappointed to
find a chill still lingered in the air. It was an ice rink, after all, so I shouldn’t
have been surprised.
“It’s his first game of the season, and I’ve missed half of it,” I argued.
“He’ll be disappointed.” We hurried along the concourse, which was
deserted because everyone was already in their seats. It must have been an
exciting game because I could hear the crowd going wild. “I’m trying to be
a supportive girlfriend.”
