Meet Ailani Jade Brown-a seventeen year old girl who is entering her first ever college semester at Alturo University. Originally from Oklahoma City, Ailani was offered a scholarship based on her overall outstanding academic performance in high school. She's reserved a special place in her heart for pets, hence her decision to become a veterinarian. All seems to be going smooth in Ailani's life, until she is suddenly called into Dean of Students office. She's asked to tutor one of the college's finest football player-Matteo Caruso. Given his reputation and her already tight schedule, she declines. However, something-rather someone-persuades her into reconsidering her decision. Matteo Caruso is an eighteen year old sophomore at Alturo University. He's the catch-charming looks, amusing persona, and rich! While not labeled a 'playboy', rumors of him oftentimes involved other women, which only attract more. On the outside looking in, Matteo seems to be experiencing college perfectly. Unfortunately, Matteo's grades are slipping terribly. His lack of enthusiasm in his schoolwork, and school in general, will force him to become an empty slot on the football team. Faced with no other solution, Matteo signs up for tutoring, hoping that someone may wake him up from this dream. When he finds out that he has been declined once again by another 'tutor', he takes matters into his own hands. ------- TROPES: College Romance Tutor x Popular Boy Grumpy x Sunshine Black Woman x White Man Boy x Girl Multiple POVs -------- TRIGGER WARNINGS: Smut Alcohol Usage Smoking -------- Enjoy<3!

Malika Danai is pressure. Friendly, social, and loved by all, Malika thrives in college and is often seen as a mirage - seemingly real and attainable but disappears when approached. She's a party girl to the core. Loves to drink, flirt, and explore with her best friends, Ayana and Isabella. Her beauty is undeniable. With curly black hair cascading over her shoulders and golden-brown skin that glows no matter where she's at, Malika's presence is impossible to ignore. Her dark brown eyes often sparks with mischief, and her full two-toned lips often curves into teasing grins that hints at secrets she rarely shares.

To him, parties are ratchet and vile. An enigma vastly contrasting his reverence for solitude, silence, and carefully ordered thoughts. So when he's pushed into an unwanted arrangement, he resents the intrusion because slowly, his rule...
