She was never supposed to end up here. Born and raised in Atlanta, she was used to quiet luxury-polished manners, perfect appearances, and a life where everything had its place. Including her. Until it didn't. When her father loses everything, she's forced to leave behind the only world she's ever known and move to Memphis, Tennessee-into a house that feels too small, too loud, and nothing like home. At her new school, nobody cares about who she used to be. Her accent, her attitude, the way she carries herself-it all makes her stand out. And not in the way she's used to. They call her stuck up. She calls them unbearable. But the more she tries to hold on to the girl she used to be, the more everything starts slipping through her fingers. Especially when she meets him. He doesn't care about her past. Doesn't care about her attitude. And definitely doesn't care about her rules. In a place where she doesn't belong, surrounded by people who refuse to let her hide behind perfection... she's forced to face the one thing she's been avoiding. Maybe she's not just out of place. Maybe she's been misplaced all along.

[COMPLETED] "We both agreed, Apollo! We said no feelings, no attachments! You promised you wouldn't get attached." I look down at my lap in worry and shame. I have no idea what to say, I promised her, but like an idiot I broke that promise. "Say something!" My breath hitches and I look up at my beautiful girl through my lashes, my eyes brimming with tears because I know after tonight we won't be seeing each other again. I stand up from the edge of the bed and walk over to her, watching as her chest moves up and down harshly with each breath. My eyes trail over the love marks I left moments ago when we were happy to only get lost in each other's arms temporarily. She's mad at me. I never wanted her to be mad at me. "I'm sorry, baby," I whisper reaching forward to run my finger along her cheek catching the falling tear that flows down her soft skin. "You promised." She whispers. I know. "I promise I'm not attached, Blue." Too late. ••• Apollo and Blue have a few things in common. They're both lonely, they're both sad and they both attend the same university, a place where they stumble upon each other for the first time.
