Aaliyah Johnson is in her final year at Magnolia State University, where she's balancing a scholarship, an art degree, and the pressure of not knowing what comes next. Elias Carter, the university's baseball captain, seems to have everything figured out, except his own heart. When mutual friends and a poetry club bring them together, sparks ignite in the most unexpected ways. She's brilliant and blunt; he's disciplined and mysterious. But between classes, practices, and the expectations of everyone around them, connection becomes the one thing they can't plan for. From strangers to friends to something far deeper, their story grows with every season, rooted beneath a magnolia tree that sees it all. Autumn brings sparks: "I'm curious about you, but I don't even know why yet." Winter, closeness: "You calm me when I didn't realise I needed calming." Spring, love: "I've known for a while... I just didn't want to ruin it." Summer, uncertainty: "Even if everything changes, you've changed me already."

I climb over the fence and find Elias sitting against it. "Hand It over." I say to Elias as I sit beside him, he raises a brow up at me. "Hand what over?" He gives off a playful smile. "That." He looks down at the blunt in his hand making him give a wider grin. "Why?" Elias says back, I ignore him taking his hand that held the blunt. Placing it in my mouth, Elias looks at me admiring. "Love? I thought you didn't smoke?" I stare back at him. "Well I do now." He laughs moving some of my hair to the side. "What has my angel turned into?" I shrug my shoulders. "I don't know what has your angel turn into?" I say as I place a hand on his face gently caressing it. #1 in butterfly 04/12/24 #1 in Chanel 04/12/24 #2 in attracted 04/12/24

Aaliyah never planned on catching the eye of Leo Ramirez. A quiet, brooding basketball player who looks at her like she's trouble & like he'd burn the whole world for her.

Aaliyah Parker is the queen of her own little world at Oakridge High in the heart of New York City. She's not the most popular girl in school, but her charm, kindness, and radiant smile make her everyone's favorite person to be around. Life is steady and uncomplicated-until she gets paired for a project with the one boy who's the opposite of her calm existence. Alessandro "Sandro" Moretti is the school's golden boy. Star soccer player, heir to his family's famous Italian restaurant chain, and the boy every girl obsess over, Sandro is used to getting what he wants. Beneath his confident exterior, though, he's always been fascinated by Aaliyah-the girl who's never seemed affected by his charm. When they're assigned to work together for a semester-long English project, sparks fly in unexpected ways. Sandro's relentless teasing and affectionate Italian nicknames-bella (beautiful), stellina (little star), sole mio (my sunshine)-start to chip away at Aaliyah's walls. But as she gets closer to him, she begins to see that Sandro's life isn't as perfect as it seems. Can Aaliyah handle the pressures of being in Sandro's spotlight? And will Sandro's growing obsession with Aaliyah scare her away-or pull her closer than she ever thought possible?

"You just... scored a 3 pointer so easily... how?" He gives me a strange look before he smirks. From the short distance between us, he dribbles the ball down towards me, springing up in my hands with a 'v' motion. "Stand straight." He gets behind me and I follow his orders. "Now spread your feet a few meters apart." His foot goes in between mine and I can't help but blush at the size difference between us. "Now bend your knees." I bend my knees, a deep breath striking down through my nose. Is it getting hot in here or whaaat? "Now, for the hard part." He puts his hands on my back, pushing it forward and I gulp at the foreign touch. His hands slide around my waist and guide my right hand to the top of the ball and my left hand to the side, pushing my elbows out in front of me.
