Best friends since the age of 4, Reef Knight and Ivette Winter spent every day together. They were proven inseparable, neighbours, platonic soulmates. Where you saw one, the other wouldn't be far behind. However, Junior year changed it all. Reef's popularity soared through the roof, I mean, who expected any different when he'd become blessed with looks that "rivaled Adonis himself". Captain of the Oakvale soccer team, he found himself welcomed amongst a new cluster of friends, meaning Ivy was left behind, in the dust. If given time, perhaps their bond could be salvageable, something Ivette had wished for, despite the betrayal. And if time is all they need, then they have plenty of it after Reef moves in with Ivy's family due to his own family issues during the first year of college. The obvious outcome of this situation; Ivette and Reef continue to hate each other's guts until they grow old. Scenario number two recognises their friendship making a comeback. And, scenario three, albeit largely unrealistic, what's the chance of them becoming something more? In the end, what could possibly go wrong living in a house with your hot ex-bestfriend? (Book 1 of the Greenfield U series)

"Ay, coño eso dolio" I mumble to myself while the person underneath me groans. I looked down to see who I crashed into and see Chase right there underneath me. Translation: Ah, damn that hurt "Shit, cover your eyes." I yell at him. He covered his eyes and I got off of him. "Why the fuck are you naked?"
