Sakasaki Okinu swore she was okay with existing as a ghost in the background. She pretended to flourish in the shadows of her sibling's successes, feigned insouciance at her parents' unintentional neglect, and trod upon the Earth like a dead man walking; leaving untraceable imprints washed away by the current. But she wasn't. Ennoshita Chikara promised he was satisfied with his position as a benchwarmer on the ever-deepening pool of talent on the Karasuno volleyball team, dwelling about the edge of the court as if a barrier prevented him from approaching the net. But he wasn't. So when Sakasaki Okinu's drab and dreary road of meaningless mundanity leads her to the metal doors of Karasuno's volleyball team, a new crossroad appears, one that winds and twists longer and faster than any interstate highway. Through luck and circumstance, the two ne'er-do-wells' diverging pathways intertwine and form a singular route: a quest to step out of the background and into the spotlight.

❝You're sleeping with your professor, aren't you?❞ . . . An accident leaves Elreda Adair riddled with guilt and the town with rumours. She leaves home to have a new start, in a city she isn't known. She intends on laying low as she attempts to block out the demons from her past. Her efforts, however, go to waste the moment she catches the eye of her literature professor, Archer Kane. Archer takes it upon himself to help her with class and their literature novel. The more time they spend together, the further they stray away from a student-teacher relationship, entering dangerous waters. As the sparks between them ignite, things take an enigmatic turn when little discrepancies with the novel catch Elreda's attention. Elreda learns that Archer knows more about her than he lets on and the attractive professor facade may have just been a mask to cover his true intentions. warning: some sexual content!

Then there was a long pause, a minute of silence he so desperately needed just to wrap his thoughts around all of this. ''Ah, I'm sorry about your boyfriend. I couldn't help myself. The thought of somebody else having you, somebody else owning such a precious work of art drove me insane.'' Within seconds, he stood up, clenching his fists as he spoke quietly and more clearly with the purpose of his words to be heard, to be remembered and possibly never forgotten. ''Soon, you'll be mine. And you'll learn to love me back.'' © stereoids. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. 2018
