And I realized he wasn't coming back. ****** ****** ****** Alexa Baker has had enough of being trapped under her mother's supervision in San Diego, California. After six gruesome years in the city and four years at college, she takes up her mother's offer at an internship at their company's headquarters in New York City.

When people come to these schools, they learn two very important things quickly. 1. Every competition between these schools matters. If you lose, you are shamed. 2. Absolutely NO contact with anyone from the other school Alexa Baker had to live and die by these rules because her brother Seth promised that if she didn't, he would make the rest of her junior and senior year hell even when he was at college.

A conversation she overhead drags her into a secret bigger than the rivalry that shaped her childhood. And Homecoming...well, Alexa's life would never truly be the same. For good or for bad. ***Completed August 22, 2018***

"Yeah, so you should be able to hit harder now." Copyright ©️ Cover and graphics made by the one and only @Ashely_Mariex
