"Some things are too strange and strong to be coincidences" - Emery Allen A year has passed and Isla is packing up, ready to head for college and pursue her new dreams. Her first year, she wants to do everything and experience everything: the drinking, the parties and most importantly the boys. Of course, she hasn't forgotten that Jared's already a student at her college. But this year they've decided to make a pact: stay friends. Just friends - no matter what happens. Help each other with their assignments, introduce each other to their hot, single roommates and under no circumstances fall for each other again. But it's becoming increasingly harder to follow the rules of their pact and frankly, they don't care anymore.

"I love you, Ashton" I whispered to his sleeping face, being careful so he doesn't hear. Quickly kissing him on the cheek, I run away knowing that he can't know, and he will never know. I'm in love with my bestfriend. "Diana?" Ashton's voice stops me. Tears threaten to fall down, but I push them away. "Yes?" "Could you please call Mel?" He replies. I nod and walk away.

He lit his cigarette, I lit nothing. He drank alcohol, I drank water. He smirked, I smiled. He didn't love me, I didn't love him. He and I together wouldn't last a day. And then the game started... He said he found me intriguing, unique, and interesting because I didn't swoon over him. "You and me Grey, let's play a game. We'll date and in three months time I promise you will fall for me. When you fall in love with me between that time span, I win. If in any way you were to win I'll give up all the alcohol, cigarettes, and player ways." It was a game I wasn't willing to lose, but all games had accidents and consequences. It takes a broken heart to know how to break a heart.
