The Captain Doesn't know I'm A Girl
READING AGE 18+
Rule number 1 of survival: Never let them see you flinch.
My identical twin brother, Jace, was a complete doormat. He let his hockey teammates call him a weakling and constantly use him as a punching bag. The moment I found out, something inside me broke. I was determined to fight back on his behalf.
The very next day, I disguised myself as him, walked straight into that locker room, and absolutely leveled his bullies.
