❝ The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances; if there is any reaction, both are transformed. ❞

William Hartford is failing and he knows it. The only things he has going well for him in high school are his quarterback title and a pretty face. 

When yet another failed science test leads to the possibility of him repeating a year, he manages to raise all of his grades with test corrections and extra credit, but one teacher won't crack.

Knowing he can't make it on his own, he enlists the help of school genius, Ramona Harper for help. With no partner and the desperation to beat her rival, Avery Srisuk, at her last chemathon before she graduates, she reluctantly agrees.

They don't like each other. It's a one and done thing. After that, he'll graduate and play professional football and she'll be studying at Johns Hopkins University.

But how long can they resist the chemistry between them?

Meet Tanner Bailey, the typical college jock-towering, broad-shouldered, and always dressed in a tight-fitting letterman jacket that seems like it's barely holding in his inflated ego. His chiseled features and confidence make him the envy of his teammates and the object of many students' admiration, but behind that athletic exterior lies a personality as sour as his smirk. Tanner is the type of guy who relishes in making others feel small, using his popularity and physical prowess to intimidate and belittle anyone he deems beneath him, which is practically everyone. To him, the world revolves around his needs and desires, and anyone who doesn't fall in line is just another target for his bullying. Beneath the surface, he hides a deep insecurity, but he'll never let anyone see it-not if he can keep up his act as the school's golden boy. Meet Harper Avery, a force to be reckoned with-brilliant, beautiful, and always in control. With striking features that could stop traffic, she's the girl everyone notices when she walks into a room. Her style is impeccable, always dressed to impress, and she carries herself with a confidence that turns heads and commands attention. But Harper isn't just a pretty face; she's one of the smartest people you'll ever meet. Top of her class, she excels in everything she puts her mind to, whether it's academics, debate, or any of the numerous clubs she leads. Harper is ambitious, and she knows exactly what she wants in life. She's not afraid to push others to meet her high standards, which can make her come off as bossy or even ruthless at times. Some find her intimidating, and there's no denying that she can be demanding. Tanner and Harper had always been on opposite sides of the schools social spectrum- she couldn't stand his entitled attitude, and he couldn't bear her constant need to prove she was better than everyone else, especially him. To outsiders, they were natural-born enemies, two forces destined to oppose each other.

But what if they unified? In one word, disaster! This happened to a senior and a freshman at university. With the boundless arrogance of a wealthy and powerful heir combined with the neverending will for justice of a mundane, they declared arch-nemesis against each other and waged war. But after a particular red stain, black notes, an alligator and a bucketload of glue later, she will have to persist in denial and he will have to learn to be less possessive to soothe their growing affection for each other. The question is, will they give in? *in the process of editing and rewriting

Nolan, an unapproachable guy who ignores the existence of all his schoolmates, sleeps in all of his classes. Normally, this wouldn't be Chelsea Arnold's problem--she does her best to pay attention in class and attends gym like a good, normal student. Unfortunately, she just so happens to be his assigned desk partner in many classes. She's frequently forced to wake him in English class and ends up earning the unofficial title of Nolan's Wake-up Alarm--a title that nobody in the entire school covets. The last thing she wants is to interact with him more than she absolutely has to. One day, their gym teacher sends her to bring him back to class, which he always skips for some reason. When she accidentally shines her flashlight in his sleeping face, it triggers a chain of events that gradually intertwines their lives together. It's hard to be a normal student when you start befriending the school oddball. It doesn't help that he has more secrets than the Big Ben has stairs. ----- Complete.

His lips were soft at first, before a roughness took over and he pressed his body to mine. My hands instantly go to his hair as he cups my cheek with his hand as the other turns into a fist next to my head. A sigh leaves his mouth, like this is something he's waited his whole life to do and now he finally has, he can relax. His body feels hot against my own and I itch to get his clothes off of him. His fingers drag down my cheek, over the curve of my breasts and under my ass. He lifts me up, pressing my back against the wall and holding underneath me for support. I wrap my legs around his waist, squeezing him against me. ------------------ Leona Von Ackerman was hurt by the person she loved the most. It hurt her soul, body and mind.
