Alexia King:- The 21-year-old female protagonist and youngest daughter of the business tycoon, Xavier king, have faced the horrors of the world at the ripe age of 14 and has been diagnosed with Agoraphobia which triggers only in presence of the female gender. Knowing, where trust has gotten her, she refuses to trust anyone. She doesn't trust even herself to not harm her mother or sister. Her survival instincts kick in, every time she sees a female. Safety is the only thing she has fought for, which turned into a windfall when she seeks that in the arms of a new student, Kevin Emerson. Kevin Emerson :- The 23-year-old male protagonist has lived his life to the fullest, without care of the world. His one of the dream is to get admission to Kings Valley College, which is rather arduous in the mid-semester if his father was not the partner with the owner, Xavier King. His laid-back attitude takes a 180 degree turn when he falls for an enigma, Alexia King. -------------------- His warm hands touch my cold one and like a lightning, I shiver. His other arm goes around my back and crushes my entire body to his hard chest. A rupture of current flows in the body and I gasp in shock because this is impossible. My heart beats rapidly. I already know who the person is. I try to push him but his hold tightens more. "You wanted the entire college to kiss you right?" He growls in my ear and all the tiny hairs on my skin stand in goosebumps. "Kevin" I tried to warn him but to my ears, it sounds like a breathless plea. "You know how I feel about you but for you, everything is a game" He bites my earlobe slightly hard, and as much as it hurts, it feels good. "Hey! Make it fast man. Others are waiting" Someone from the crowd shouts. Kevin fists my hair and tugs it. "Ahh" "Do you want them to kiss you?" He asks angrily and what a turn-on it is but I'm not a fool to rile him more. He can do some serious damage. "No"

I'm running, my dress bunched up in my fists. But I'm not running for my life I'm running for his, and when I see him I stop. There is one bulky man on either side of him, they have their arms linking his, he's kneeling in front of someone with raven black hair. As we get closer, I see his pain in the way he's holding himself, his brown hair is clouding his face. Something catches in my throat as I see him bent forward, almost looking limp. The panic is slowly eating me up on the inside. 'Please lift your head, let me see your eyes' I pray inside my head. He can't be gone. It's almost like he hears my prayers as he looks up, his blue eyes as deep as the ocean depths, knocks the breath out of me as per usual. I close my eyes and thank God for keeping him alive. The right side of his jaw is all purple and red. A cut on the other side of his face, which is oozing with the red liquid. He suddenly looks past the black haired male to look at us, reassurance washing over his features. It's when he sees me that his eyes widen, and the panic grows by the second. He goes from a slump to picking himself upright. He's hurt. Badly. The black haired man spins around as we walk closer in their direction. All 6 of us stop as I catch a glimpse of the face. A deadly grin appears on his wicked face. "Boys, I've been waiting for you" He shouts loud and clear. "And you brought the girl" * Crescent Bay Dawson was once popular but now she lives in the shadow of her twin brother. The only person who notices her is the cocky, egotistic, Star Quarterback of the school; Elliott Grayson. Can Elliott charm her into falling for him or will she finally win the heart of her childhood crush? #2 in humor - 2nd February 2018 #5 in teen fiction - 6th November 2017 Honestly if you wanna laugh this book will make you laugh cause that's what I'm all about!
