"Hi!" I smile up at him. He's a lot taller than I expected, especially compared to my 5'4 height.

"Hello?" He responds, raising an eyebrow.

"I just... um... noticed you were in history with me and was wondering what's your name." I respond, slightly confused by his cold tone.

"I'm Hakeem." He says simply.

So he's not even going to ask for my name? Who does he think he is? He should be honored to know my name. I think to myself jokingly. 

"Don't you want to know my name?" I ask, raising an eyebrow in confusion.

"Nope."

Roxanne Williams has everything a 17 year old girl could want: 
Two loving parents. 
A ride or die best friend.
A position at the top of her school's social chain. 

When her math grade starts to sink, she's forced to learn that her bubbly charm isn't going to solve all her problems. Her math teacher takes notice and assigns her one of his best students as a tutor. 
She meets Hakeem Rashford: a smart, attractive, but intimidatingly serious guy. His mysterious persona draws her in even though he makes it clear to her that he's not interested. She doesn't know why he seems to have a burning hatred for her and everyone else at their school; but, she wants to find out. What he doesn't know is: when Roxanne wants something, she gets it.

There's always a downside to the fame that shines on you. Amir Johnson knows that all too well. Rising to fame as the youngest MMA fighter, his life has always been about rings, bandages, and blood. Fighting was his life. Fighting was his birthright. But mix that with a touch of arrogance and a hot-headed attitude, and what does that get you? A whole lot of bad press. After his last fight ended with police sirens and a year-long probation, Amir's attitude didn't just stay bad-it got worse. Parties, baby mamas, restaurant fiascos, and rumors of drug abuse became the top headlines under his name. To keep this blazing star from burning out, his team makes a desperate move-they hire Steven Moore, a well-known celebrity handler who's famous for shaping up the messiest stars. Polished, posh, and painfully straightforward, Steven isn't here to play. He's here to fix Amir's mess, no matter how much they hate each other. But one fateful, booze-fueled night changes everything. Steven wakes up in unfamiliar sheets, in a room that isn't his, next to someone who definitely isn't his wife, and Amir next to someone who isn't his crazy baby mama or a random cheap slut he bought... Now, as secrets pile up and tempers flare, both men find themselves in a dangerous game of keeping the public-and their own feelings-under control. How much can they take before everything blows up in their faces? *** OUT NOW: DD/MM/YY 01/03/25 SCHEDULE: Bi-weekly every Saturday *** OTHER TAGS: #funnymoments #celebritymentions #girlxgirl #babymamas #badparenting #minorcharacterdeath #gunviolence #threapysessions #mxmxm #possiblelovetrinagle #daddyissues #mommyissues #parentissuesoveral #seriouslytheseguysareprettymessedup #TOUCH'ASTARDOM

"All week, you've been on my mind, and I can't make it go away. Finally, after suffering in silence for so long at the thought of your lips, your laugh, and your smile..." Aaron trailed off, his eyes roamed my face. "All week?" I scoffed pulling away. "I've been in love with you for twenty years!" "We've been friends since childhood, and I've accepted that we're just not meant to be. I've tried to move on and you encouraged me to follow my dreams. I just... I didn't know that my dream was you." . ✧ . Bethany grew up in a small town in rural Alabama. Her older brother and her best friend had been the only closest people to her for years. Until they all graduated together and went their separate ways. Struggling to stay in touch with one another with their developing, adult lives. Years ago Bethany had fallen head over heels in love with the most popular guy in town, Aaron Russel. But confessing her feelings had always been something she would never do. After all Aaron was her best friend's brother who never gave Bethany a second thought. Or so she thought. Bethany had always been the typical nerdy girl without any fashion sense. Aaron was the complete opposite. Aaron throughout school was the class clown, football quarterback with dozens of friends that hung onto his every word. Girls at his beck and call. And high school only enriched his popularity. And now almost a decade later they all have the opportunity to see each other again at their ten year high school reunion. Now Bethany had the chance to show everyone she grew up with how much she changed. Her thriving career out of state finally gaining confidence and sophistication transforming into a whole new woman. It took Aaron and Bethany some time to realize what they wanted and what they needed in life. And it took them even more time to confess who they were truly in love with.

"You should have known me better than this, little sparrow," He chuckled deeply, his gaze fixed on me. "Lucas please!" I cried, now stopped by the wall as my heart beats faintly.
