Amelia Heidari knows her last two years at the University of Toronto matter more than anything shes done before. Her goals for the year include: raising her 3.8 GPA, securing a med-related internship, making her Middle Eastern parents proud, and becoming financially independent so that she doesn't feel indebted to her father. Falling into bed with the Varsity Blues forward was never on her list, but neither was blowing her interview and losing her internship eligibility. Zayn Carter has been dreaming of playing in the NBA since the moment he learned to shoot hoops. With graduation fast approaching, he needs these last two years to hone his skills and improve his standings to ensures he's draft ready. That means continuing to make the game his priority and sticking to his one-and-done policy but, that's easier said than done. Amelia Heidari was only supposed to be a hookup, not the girl derailing his game and risking his career. With both their futures on the line, they agreed to avoid each other but with their paths constantly colliding, they can only avoid each other for so long. **previously known as "Worth the Fight"

❝run-on sentence - in which two independent clauses are joined without proper punctuation and conjunctions.❞ Ellie had always been an introvert. She would rather stay home to watch her favorite TV shows, cleaning out a jar of peanut butter and occasionally rereading Pride and Prejudice for the nth time while the rest of the world continued to socialize. Wes had always been good at making friends. He could buy some Gatorade at a convenience store and end up befriending the middle-aged cashier behind the counter or ride the bus and end up having fifty inside jokes with his seatmate before he gets to his stop. Together, they were like a run-on sentence: Two entirely separate thoughts colliding with each other to form a string of words, woven together together to form a chaotic kind of beauty. --- Cover by Kodie (@deadlier)
