Flirtatious, bold, and endlessly competitive, Anna is determined to dominate the season-but as Sabrina's presence begins to stir feelings she's long suppressed, Anna must decide whether she can risk opening her heart without crashing.

What will happen when they are forced to get along, will they hate each other or end up being something more ? Sabrina is the popular smart girl that everyone has a crush on , what will happen when she has to work along with Anna , a rumoured playgirl. Will they get along just fine or end up hating each other ? Will Sabrina find out about Anna's secret ?

Five years ago, Sabrina walked away. She and Anna had been partners at the academy, working side by side on projects that felt like they could change everything. But trust broke, and Sabrina left without saying goodbye. Now she's back, this time as a professor. The academy gave her what she wanted most: a lab, students, and the chance to build again. She didn't come back for the past-she came back for the work. But Anna never left. She stayed, kept working, and made her place at the academy. Seeing her again makes it clear that nothing will be easy. The hurt is still there, and so is the pull between them. A story about broken trust, stubborn pride, and two people who keep finding their way back to each other, whether they want to or not.

It's 2005, and Anna Shumate just trying to make it through one Friday without detention. She's a prankster, a punk, and allergic to anything that smells like school spirit. But when a house party and a game of Seven Minutes in Heaven throw her into a closet with none other than Sabrina Quesada, the most popular girl in school, everything she thought she knew gets flipped. Over the course of 24 hours, sparks fly, secrets slip out, and two girls from completely different worlds start to realize they might be falling- whether they mean to or not.

Synopsis: Five years ago, Sabrina Quesada made the hardest decision of her life-she walked away from the love of her life, Anna Shumate, to chase a once-in-a-lifetime acting opportunity in Hollywood. The price? A shattered heart, a silence that never quite healed, and a future without the only girl who ever truly knew her. Now, Sabrina is back-not for closure, but for research. Cast as the lead in a major soccer film, she's been assigned to shadow a real team. But fate has a wicked sense of humor... because the team's star player? None other than Anna Shumate-now a world-renowned athlete and the very woman she left behind. Anna built her empire from the ruins of that heartbreak. Stoic, strong, and fiercely guarded, she isn't prepared to face the girl who taught her what love was-then taught her what it meant to lose it. Training Sabrina is the last thing she wants. But the cameras are rolling, the world is watching, and old feelings don't die just because someone walks away. As they collide on and off the field, tension crackles, wounds reopen, and buried feelings start to rise. Is it too late for second chances, or is there still one more shot at love? Sometimes, the heart remembers what the mind tries to forget.

"Where her heart found mine"

Sabrina is content in her quiet world, finding comfort in the simplicity of her bakery and a familiar routine. But when a new neighbour moves in next door, everything shifts. Anna, with her calm smile and unspoken presence becomes a constant in Sabrina's day-to-day, though Sabrina can't quite place it why she feels so drawn to her.

Sab is an intern at one of the most prestigious newspapers in New York City. Ambitious and driven, she's been waiting for her big break-but for now, she's stuck writing a small column with makeup tips for teenage girls, far from the hard-hitting journalism she dreams of. That all changes when a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity lands in her lap: a chance to travel the world interviewing rising football stars ahead of next year's World Cup. But she won't be going alone. Assigned to capture the journey is none other than Anna Shumate-the paper's most renowned sports photographer. Known for her striking images and her intensely private persona, Anna is a legend in the industry, but a mystery to most. Sab has never met her... and never imagined they'd be working side by side. What starts as a professional assignment soon turns into an unforgettable journey-one that could change their careers, and maybe even their heart.

Anna and Sabrina's love was fierce, raw, and tangled with addiction-a bond that once felt unbreakable but ultimately broke them both. During their senior year, Anna's addiction spiraled out of control, and Sabrina stayed by her side, begging her to get clean, trying to hold on even when it nearly destroyed her. Then came the night Anna overdosed-and Sabrina was the one who found her. That moment shattered everything. Sabrina walked away, desperate to save herself. Nearly two years later, Anna is sober and trying to rebuild her life. She arrives in Los Angeles, unaware that Sabrina has made this city her home and has transformed herself into a paramedic-saving lives while still haunted by the one she couldn't save. Sabrina has also begun to heal in other ways-building a new relationship with someone who offers stability and hope. But when Anna unexpectedly walks back into her life, the past crushes into present with all its raw pain and unsolved feelings. Caught between the woman she loved and the new life she's trying to protect, Sabrina must confront the versions of both herself and Anna that addiction nearly destroyed. Can love survive the wreckage? Or will the ghosts of their past tear them all apart?
