Ice queen

He is hot

Steven’s POV

While I was coming out of my last class; my phone beeped. A MESSAGE!

“Congratulations on being selected for the sport’s assistant position.” f**k yes!

I read the rest of the message:

“Please come report with your valid student ID to the campus gym right now.”

I hurried to the campus gym and went to the manager’s office. I knocked at the door and went inside.

“Oh hey! I am the manager here. My last name is Smith. You can call me Manager Smith.” the same man I met on the very first day while filling the form said.

“I’ll introduce them since you might not know them yet. This club includes the hockey team, short track speed skating team and the figure skating team.” I nodded listening to his every word very carefully.

“This time we were recruiting for the athlete's manager position. Most important is to take care of the short track speed skating, top rate star, the ice queen.” He said.

“So, Manager Smith, there were so many applicants. Why did you choose me?” I asked him with all seriousness.

“It’s because ... we thought... That you were very suitable after every extensive filtering process.” He said hesitating. I wonder why he was hesitating to answer such a simple question.

“Come sit!” he said.

I sat in a chair opposite his mahogany desk.

“This is your labor contract. Take a look and then sign your name.” he said handing me the contact.

“Actually this job is very simple, you have to help the ice queen do various small tasks and arrange her daily schedule. Of course to put it in simple words you are the part of this club to bring warmth to the ice queen; because you are the ice queen’s assistant so hourly wage is double the other part timers.”

My eyes widened DOBLE!

“I will make her die of heat” I said grinning.

I signed the contact and came outside.

“Ice Hockey team I am coming.” I said to nobody.

Janice’s POV

I messaged Manager Smith “Did he sign yet?”

“Yes, we’ll be coming now.” Manager Smith replied. I grinned at the message.

I heard the creaking sound of the door. HE IS COMING! f**k.

I put up my poker-face and got ready to face him.

“Hey! I am Steven.” A deep, young yet confident voice said.

“Are you my new assistant?” I said without facing him. “Yes.”

Then I faced him and froze. Damn! He was hot. He was at least 6’1’’, maybe taller; trim build, jet black hair, bright blue eyes, strong jaw, fuller lips and Romanesque nose. He caught me checking him out and grinned.

Shit! He has panty dropping smile.He has changed a lot.

“Focus! nissy focus;you need revenge no matter what he looks like” I thought to myself.

Slowly his eyes started widening.

“Niss?” “it’s you right?”

11 years ago

I was sitting alone on the bench in the school playground. “hey! Niss what are you doing?” steven said.

“I am doing nothing” I said, scowling.

“niss, look at this! “He said shoving a worm in my face.

I started running. I was so scared of worms. He ran after me until I fell.

“I threw it!” he said. I started sobbing hysterically.

“Why do you always cry?” He frowned at me.

I kept on crying and he never even tried to pick me from the ground.

Present

“You should have told me earlier” he said, punching my shoulder.

“You are..?” I dead panned.

“Steven. Steven Evans. You don’t remember me?” he said pointing at his face.

“Steven?”

“I sat next to you in elementary school.” he said

“Oh Steven!” “Yea yea I remember now!” I said.

“I thought you forgot me here, sit!” he said, pulling me down with him on the bench.

“How could I ever forget you? Under your care I never spent my allowance money for all six years in elementary school.” I said with a fake smile.

“That’s right you spent all on buying things for me. We were so close at that time. But you are doing well. Just getting into the college you are already so famous. You are already the ice queen.”

“Oh Steven what is your major?” I asked him.

“Astronomy. Though I would be changing it after getting into the ice hockey team.” I nodded.

“You are a sport’s major right?” he asked.

“No, I cannot skate now. I had an accident on the rink. I miss skating, the feel of ice around, the speed, I miss everything. It’s just because everybody knows me here; manager smith thought it would be good to have an assistant.” I said. I don’t know why I was telling him all this but I could not stop myself.

“Oh okay, you didn’t purposely hire me so you could thank me right?” he said grinning. I glared at him.

He is even more shameless than back then.

“Yes, I need to repay you well “I said, fake grinning again. “Report here tomorrow.”

“Okay what do you want me to do?” He said smiling.

“Whatever I tell you to.” I gave him my best poker face.

Just like you treated me when we were kids. To me elementary school was hell.

Once in school during exams I saw him staring at me. “What?” I asked him.

“My grandpa will only take me to Disneyland if I get first place in the exam. You can’t get full marks in both; otherwise I will put worms in your bag every day.” My eyes widened

“Try if you don’t believe Me.” he threatened.

So, I erased all my answers and wrote the wrong answers.

Now it’s his turn to suffer.
