Study. Work. Sleep. Repeat.
With her family barely surviving financially, Lindiwe doesn't play around about her academics. With her only chance of escaping a meager future being the Wiese Scholarship, she can't afford any distractions. Her ability to keep her mouth shut has helped her in this situation because no one in Livingstone Academy seems to pay attention to her.
But when her anti-socialness threatens her chances of getting the scholarship she's worked so hard for, Lindiwe will need to do the exact opposite of what she's conditioned herself to do all her life.
She'll need to start talking.
And who knows what that might lead to.

"Marek, don't do this. Keep your captainship. I'll tell the truth about what happened and we'll both be out of the deal." "But-" "I don't know what your doing, if you think this is going to win you attention or sympathy. Or maybe you are being a noble prat and doing as 'you should'. Plus, I don't mean anything to you. Never have, never will. So please, please, stop acting like I'm special. " "But you are." And then his voice cracked, and I cracked with it. ------------------------ She's sick of his arrogant ways, and the bragging. With her goal being to slap some sense into him, she makes a deal; they act like a couple in every sense of the word and the first one to fall in love? Loses. It's only when she realises he may not be such a terrible man after all that she doubts her ability to win. But what if the one thing she put on the line is the one thing she would die trying to protect? Will she allow a relationship to blossom under pressure from her past? **Disclaimer** The drawing in the cover isn't mine (but it was so pretty I used it anyway). If you know who it belongs to, tell me and I can give them the rightful credit. **Implication of sex and some minor bad language. Do not read unless mature enough.**Complete
