Matt Vicarter is back, and he's dealing with more stuff than ever before. Going behind his parents back, Matt enters his freshman year at the University of Ottawa and he becomes the new meat in the famous NHL team, The Ottawa Senators who have no idea that he's a student. Suddenly, everything to Matt has changed, in the biggest way possible... lying to his family, and new friends and as the hockey season starts he finds himself surrounded by people who only want to know him for his fame. He finds paparazzi hiding behind his bushes outside his apartment and harassing him as he tries  to live his life.Matt struggles with the idea of living on his own, and juggling school with hockey.... again. On top of that his musical roommate who seems like a younger and better looking version of Gandhi, has a twin sister... who reminds Matt so much of the one girl that he can't get out of his mind. Lastly, his mother makes an announcement that will change the Vicarter family forever.
Matt thinks that he left the game behind, he thinks that he got through it, but really he's just entered a whole new game and he's going to have to learn how to play  it.

*DISCLAIMER [I am not in the NHL, I do not know how regular practices work and the details behind the games! I am simply going from logic! Please keep this in mind, and if you have any comments or suggestions on how I can improve this situation, please PRIVATE MESSAGE ME versus posting a comment on the chapter!]

After the death of her dad, Dave, Jesika doesn't know how to cope. She does some harmful things, worrying her mother, Jennifer and her brother, Tyson. After a few years, Jennifer decides its time for a new start. Towards the end of Jesika's sophomore year in high school, Jennifer Williams tells her two children they are leaving California to go to Stratford, Ontario. She wants her kids to be happy, so when Tyson reluctantly agrees, and Jesika shrugs it off, they pack up and leave to go move into a new start. All the while, Jennifer telling herself and her kids that this will be good for them. When they find out their new neighbor just so happens to be famous popstar Justin Bieber, things gets a little more complicated. When said popstar won't leave Jesika alone, threatening to break down all her barriers, how does she take it? Can this girl finally put her past behind her, with the help of Justin, and stop blaming herself? *So before anyone thinks any different, I have nothing against Caitlin. I like her and everything but I needed her to be mean for this story. But I don't think she's honestly like all of this from what I've seen of her. (: Also, I am very aware that at this time, they weren't actually together anymore but I started writing this back in '09 and I just changed the dates and ages to make it a little better but still have them in school. And I didn't change Caitlin's character because I needed Christian in it. So there is a reason to everything in this, I'm not just being completely off because I don't know whats going on.*

Luken Hunt is a virgin. A 23 year-old, NHL-playing, star-forward virgin. He's spent years dodging the post-game parties, the groupies, the endless opportunities that come with being a pro athlete. He's too focused on hockey, too awkward, too... completely out of his depth when it comes to women. Then Brooklyn Launder walks into his life. Sharp, stunning, and absolutely off-limits, she's the sports reporter who's seen it all-cocky athletes, bad pickup lines, and men who think they can charm their way into her life. But Luken? He's different. And when a flustered interview of his goes viral, turning the league's most unapproachable player into everyone's favorite bashful hockey heartthrob, Brooklyn finds herself just as intrigued as the rest of the internet. So when he confesses he's never even been kissed properly, Brooklyn makes a proposition-a few lessons. Just to help him out. A kiss here, a little guidance there. Nothing serious. Until the first lesson turns into two. Then three. And suddenly, Luken is learning fast-not just how to kiss, but how to touch, tease, and drive Brooklyn absolutely insane. But with the media watching, a locker room full of relentless teammates, and a career that demands all of him, Luken has to decide if he's ready to risk it all-for the one thing he's never had. A slow-burn, forbidden, scorching-hot hockey romance where the shy, virgin hockey star gets the ultimate education-and the woman he never saw coming. 𓅷 [SMUT Warning] [18+ Mature Audiences] Don't copy my work I will find you 🔪 4/14/25 1 in #sports 1 in friendswithbenefits 1 in hockey 1 in badgirlgoodboy 1 in nhlhockey 1 in nhlfanficton

**ORIGINAL VERSION, NO LONGER ACTIVE BUT COMPLETED** *spoilers if you are reading current version* Jake Mitchell wanted nothing more than to be the nameless guy you pass on the way to your afternoon chemistry lecture every Friday. Familiar, but unknown at the same time. Just enough recognition to remember, but knowing so little that you make up stories for him in your head. That's the only reason he took the offer from Everett University to be a left-wing forward on their Division 1 hockey team. A forgotten team really. Dead last in their league and close to dead last in the division. It was just something to help pay the tuition, but nothing much to get any recognition. He gets to keep playing hockey, he can afford to go to an out-of-state school, and he can remain unknown. It's his perfect game plan. Or well it was. Until the worst possible series of events happens. The team wins their first game in 13 years, shocked fans catch Jake talking to a popular pro player after a game, and an unfortunate tweet blows up. All leading to Jake's face being plastered on every Twitter feed, Instagram story, and social media outlet that you can think of. His worst nightmare comes to life in real time. Now with the help of his team, he has to figure out how to deal with his newfound fame while trying to get his bachelor's in chemical engineering and win as many damn hockey games as he possibly can before time runs out and he has to run again. Except, maybe this time he won't have to.
