My Hockey Alpha

Chapter 26 Stalker

I slammed my laptop shut.

“Fuck!” I yelled, then covered my mouth when I realized that I might have woken up Jessica and Lori.

Just as I expected, there was a knock on my door. Lori opened the door a crack and poked her head in, her eyes half- closed and her black hair a mess.

“You good?” she asked. I shook my head and she came in, with Jessica trailing behind her; Jessica, of course, was wearing bright pink pajamas with an eye mask on her forehead, which was a stark contrast to Lori’s ratty band t-shirt and shorts ensemble.

“I’m sorry,” I said, tears welling up in my eyes. “I didn’t mean to be so loud.”

Jessica immediately noticed my tears and came running over to me. “It’s okay!” she said. “What happened? Did Justin do something again?” I shook my head and her eyes widened. “Was it Enzo? I’ll kill him!”

“No, no,” I replied. “It wasn’t either of them, I don’t think. It’s just… Here, I’ll show you.” I opened my laptop again and showed Jessica so she could see the new pictures. Lori shuffled over and looked over Jessica’s shoulder.

Both of their eyes widened when they saw the pictures.

“Who keeps taking these?” Lori asked, pointing at the laptop screen.

“That’s, like, a total invasion of privacy,” Jessica chimed in

I shrugged. “I don’t know,” I replied. ” It was dark outside the rink, and I was focused on not falling, so anyone could’ve slipped in and taken these.”

“Do you think Enzo is having someone do this to you to humiliate you?” Lori asked, folding her arms.

Truthfully, I didn’t know. He hadn’t. necessarily given me a reason not to trust him yet, but if what he said about himself in the anatomy lab was true, and if I wasn’t imagining the whole incident with the skeleton, then…

Maybe I couldn’t trust him. Weren’t werewolves supposed to be evil, scary monsters from fairy tales? Who was to say that he wasn’t trying to rope me into trusting him so he could hurt me?

I would have to do some research on my own, because Lori and Jessica would never believe me. For now, I would just have to keep it to myself until I had definitive proof.
