People say a guy and a girl can't be best friends. Why? Because they either catch feelings or interfere with each other's relationships. Why can't Ezekiel and I be best friends? Because he used me to get to where we are in this game. Shit, I didn't even realize it until now. He knows me well enough to know that I stop at nothing to get what I want, hell that's how we got in this game, but he used that to his advantage this time. I thought we were in this shit together, but since its become obvious he has other ideas, I'm gonna do what I gotta do to survive and get my money. I'm gonna do me until I get what I want; Everything. Urban Book. Copyright © 2013 OneOfAKinddJewel___

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, and for these two, their lives have been planned down to a science. For Wylan Olson, being yourself can be very stressful. Since she was young, her emotions have always been backwards. The embodiment of 'tears of joy,' that laughs to keep from crying, not many people understand her struggle. Mostly because she barely understands it herself, but she's making it...barely. All she wants to do is make something out of herself, and she's willing to work for it. Kwame Okari has been raised to be perfect. His parents' strict expectations at son leave no room for friendships, which they regard as frivolous. Their only concern is for him to be Ivy League, and he cannot afford to disappoint. He is a boy on a mission, with a clear objective: be first. And there's only one person standing in his way-Wylan. As the two develop a better understanding of each other, competing agendas complicate their relationship forcing them to decide which is more important: attraction or ambition, satisfaction or success, friendship or fruition, and lead them to wonder if one has to be mitigated for the other.
