ATTENTION: YOU MUST READ FRESHMEN YEAR FIRST! Freshly new nineteen year old, Shai Carter, is back with even more madness. Entering his sophomore year of college, Shai returns with an "I don't care" attitude that surely raises some eyebrows and stirs up unnecessary conflict. Matters become worse when his mother, Allison, tries to find her way back into his life. He didn't know her true intentions for being back or whether she was going to stay around for once. He did know one thing surely, he wasn't going to allow anyone or anything interrupt his ongoing peace of mind. He was staying true to himself, avoiding all drama and bullcrap that people could possibly pull on him. That included the ones he loved. But drama seems to always find him. She didn't think her second year would be like this but it was something. Eighteen year old, Desdemona Young, came back with a fresh new demeanor and confidence. She was claiming this year as hers with no drama. At least, that's what she thought. With the drastically new unpleasant attitudes and people that's been lingering around, Dess wasn't sure if she could handle relationships, school, and her social life all at once. There was one thing she made sure of, life had its ups and downs, but it's up to the person to continue the fight. Would she be willingly to continue when all things fail? Model. Wife. Entrepreneur. Allison Carter-Williams had many talents and skills. But, one that she lacked was being a mother. Missing majority of Shai's life placed a barrier between mother and son that was too hard to piece back together. But with free time this new year, she was using it wisely. Somewhat. With the thoughts of wanting to patch things up with her son, Allison is met with multiple never-ending issues and halts in her mission. She just wanted one thing...a relationship with her child, but that seemed too impossible with secrets and lies she's still holding to. October 18, 2023 - August 22, 2024

⋆ ˚ 。▐ 𝚰𝐍 𝐃𝐄𝐄𝐏. ❝ I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE BAMBI. I'M IN DEEP FOR YOU. ❞ ━━━ KAEDE HAYASHI 𝐎𝐃𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐄 𝐌𝐎𝐄𝐓𝐓𝚰. Daughter of David and Boipelo Moetti. The media calls her the "Mantra Ray". She's used to being under fame's spotlight, especially now that she's been recruited to be on England's women's swim team. It's one of many goals that she's been working towards since she was eleven and if she stays on track, she'll achieve her dream of being at the Olympics. Her parents aren't helping with the pressure, but she knows she can do this, she has it all planned out━ but she doesn't predict a certain grump entering her orbit. 𝐊𝐀𝐄𝐃𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐘𝐀𝐒𝐇𝚰. Son of Kaito and Hanako Hayashi. The media calls him "the UK's rising basketball star". He's been under the media's gaze since he was born, especially since he's following his father's footsteps in becoming a basketball great. He's already halfway there since he's this year's basketball captain. All he has to do is lead his team to victory and be scouted by an American team before the school year ends. It's a lot of pressure, but he's sure he can handle it and stay focused━ until a certain swimmer crosses his path and he can't stay away. ━━━━━━ ♡ ━━━━━━ ❝ His thumb stroked down my throat and my breath hitched as he took in the paint I'd decorated my face with for his match. "Beautiful." He didn't even seem like he was aware that he'd let out the mumble. "Can I?" I only noticed my mouth was dry when I tried to speak, so I swallowed. "Can you what?" A corner of his lips tugged up as his thumb brushed over his number on my cheek. "Kiss you. You'd be supporting me even more if you wore something of mine, Bambi." ❞ ❪ DUAL POV / CHRISTIAN BOARDING SCHOOL SPORTS ROMANCE / CHECK TW'S ❫

Being neglected and ignored by your parents would make any child miserable, but Shai grew accustomed to it after years of experiencing it. He was used to being invisible, but things were quick to change as he entered adulthood and finds out his status made him a target. Dreams are what makes a person a dreamer.
