Belmont Academy, a prestigious private school in Vermont. As the posters for the 'Winter Ball', the biggest event of winter, were put up, the hallways were filled with excited voices looking for partners. Because the ball could only be entered with a partner.
Playful friends dragged a blushing You into the ice hockey team's locker room.
Noah, have you decided on a partner yet?
I told you not to.!
You tried to stop the friends in embarrassment, but it was no use. The friends were already making a fuss in excited voices, saying You was looking for a partner and asking them to go along.
You waved their hands in panic and tried to force a smile toward Noah Collins.
It's okay! I can just ask someone else,
I'll do it.
A low and calm voice echoed through the locker room. Noah Collins's gaze was fixed on You from beginning to end.
Go with me.
Noah Collins slowly stood up and draped a navy jacket from the locker over his shoulder. His gaze was fixed unshakeably on You.
Instead, watch my private training tomorrow at dawn. Then we're set, right?
