Everly Coleman starts freshman year with three very simple goals: Pass psychology. Make friends. Don't lose her mind sharing a dorm with a random guy. Then Jackson Bennett walks in. Jackson's annoyingly good at football, fully aware of it too, and somehow treats getting on Everly's nerves like it's a competitive sport. He steals her snacks, teases her constantly, and keeps acting like barging into her life is completely normal. Which would already be bad enough on its own. Unfortunately, Everly's older brother Logan absolutely hates him. Now Everly's dealing with football practices, dorm room arguments over popcorn, late-night conversations that are becoming a little too personal, and an entire football team way too invested in her love life. It's fine. Probably.

"You're weird." "Says the girl covered in dog saliva." His eyes run up and down my body which only makes me raise my chin in challenge. "Oh and you're also a jerk, might as well add pervert to the list while we're at it." Is my reply. With a blink of an eye, he moves closer to me, so close that his breath fans my cheek, swaying the strands framing my face. His eyes fall on my lips and he bites his bottom lip seductively making an urge to kiss him take over me. "Better watch that pretty little mouth of yours, sweet Blue." He pulls away and before I can regain my senses and posture, he's up and out of my room, Jupiter trailing behind him with a wagging tail. Brayden King, even the name screams trouble. ______________________ WATTPAD FEATURED
