Yazming and Cashtun didn't mean to fall for each other-life just pushed them into the same corner at the same time. They come from two completely different worlds, two lifestyles that should've never crossed. Yet somehow, the connection is instant... dangerous... magnetic. They try to make love work, but the noise around them is too loud-his past, her fears, their secrets, their timing. Every moment they get close, life pulls them apart. Every moment they walk away, something brings them back. Can love survive when the world around them is built to break them? Does one of them change everything for the other? Do they meet in the middle? Or does loving each other become the very thing that destroys them? Some people fit your soul perfectly... just not your life. And Yazming and Cashtun are about to find out that sometimes the right person shows up at the wrong time-on purpose.

"You don't belong here. If you don't get your fucking weirdo ass out, I will personally drag you out of here my goddamn self. I don't give a single fuck about what my mom said, I fuck with a certain type of people and your embarrassing ass ain't one of them. I ain't invite you, so get the fuck on." I felt my heart tug at his words, for some reason. Not knowing what else to do, I slapped him hard across the face. The sound vibrated across the room, and suddenly all attention was on us. People gasped with 'ohhhhs' and 'oooh's' in shock. Cameras began flashing. I grabbed Zion by the collar of his shirt and brung him down to my height. "You don't get to fucking talk to me that way. Not after how you did me and our friendship, you piece of shit. Fuck your graduation, I hope you break your fucking leg! Get that basketball scholarship took real quick!" I screamed it loud enough for everyone to hear. I grabbed my purse and Novalie - practically dragging us out of there. I could hear the sounds of people snickering. Whether it was at me or at Zion, I didn't care. It didn't change the embarrassment and hot tears that were stinging my eyes. ...
