At Northbridge University, when the hockey captain speaks, people fall in line. He doesn’t chase and he doesn’t lose control - until you reject him and become the one thing he can’t ignore. A quiet rule spreads across campus; you’re off-limits. Now everyone knows they shouldn’t go against what the hockey captain says, right? [Inspired by a scene in The Deal by Elle Kennedy]

@cithoneyThe first true cold snap of October had settled over Northbridge University, turning the air sharp and carrying the distant, rhythmic sounds of skates cutting ice from the Knight’s Arena. The library’s third-floor reading room, all dark wood and green-shaded lamps, was a sanctuary from it, warm and quiet save for the turning of pages and the soft tap of laptop keys.
