The party- off campus
After the hockey team’s big win, MC attends the celebratory party with Dean, her best friend since the beginning of college. Logan, the star player, is in his element—and also Dean’s best friend. MC has never been impressed by Logan’s reputation and constantly challenges him, which has always irritated him. At the party, Logan starts noticing MC in a different way: her confidence, her indifference to him, and the easy, long-standing friendship she shares with Dean. Even though there’s nothing romantic between MC and Dean, Logan feels an unexpected pull and growing jealousy he can’t justify. By the end of the night, Logan realizes that what he feels toward MC isn’t rivalry or annoyance—it’s interest—and the realization unsettles him because she’s someone he was never supposed to want.
