Freshman basketball star Avery Howell wants nothing to do with campus drama. Volleyball player Autumn Blake just found out her football player boyfriend cheated on her-right as her freshman preseason starts. So they make a deal: fake date to fix their reputations and keep the rumors at bay. No feelings. No complications. Just playing the part. But the more they fake it, the harder it is to remember what's pretend... and what isn't. In love and basketball, this was always going to be foul play. Avery Howell x femoc

🫧𓇼A JUJU WATKINS STORY 𓏲*ੈ✩‧₊˚🎐

Was Aurelia just a hookup? Maybe... maybe not

𝗮 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗮𝘁 𝘂𝗰𝗹𝗮. quiet, overlooked, always playing like she's got something to prove. 𝗷𝘂𝗷𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗸𝗶𝗻𝘀? she's her. 𝘂𝘀𝗰'𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿. calm, calculated, already a legend in the making. when ashley's team gets matched up against usc, everything shifts. it's not just about basketball anymore. it's the way juju looks at her across the court. it's the tension, thick enough to choke on. it's the fear of being forgotten and the terrifying feeling of finally being seen. in a world of highlight reels and expectations, ashley's just trying to keep it together. but how do you hold your ground when the girl you're supposed to beat keeps taking your breath away?

Emara Brooks and Judea "JuJu" Watkins have walked the same hallways for years, but they've never shared more than a passing glance. Emara is the quiet, top-of-her-class type who keeps her circle small and her heart guarded. JuJu is the bold, confident basketball star who keeps it casual, and never lets anyone get too close. They couldn't be more different or so they think. But when freshman year at USC throws them into the same path through mutual friends, casual run-ins turn into subtle looks, and an undeniable tension neither of them is ready to admit. Both are used to hiding behind masks. Emara with her independence, JuJu with her ego, but deep down, they're both craving the same thing...someone who sees through the walls and stays anyway. Love was never part of the game plan... but what happens when the one person you least expect ends up being the one who gets you the most?

even through the ups and downs.. idk she's picture perfect.
