[2022 Wattys Winner] When love cynic Madison Watson starts university, she vows to follow three simple rules.

     One: Work out at least twice a week.
     Two: Get an internship.
     Three: Stay away from men.

But after a chance encounter with three guys in the dorm halls, Madi's enlisted to transform a shy and love-sick hopeless case into the perfect boyfriend. Unbeknownst to her optimistic accomplices, she's out to prove a hypothesis of her own - love is a construct, and heartbreak is inevitable.

Emma can't wait to get to college and leave all of her bitter high school memories behind. Especially the one who broke her heart and made the rest of her high school life hell. She hopes that college will provide her with a fresh start and an opportunity to find love again. As she prepares to move on and start anew, she discovers that the guy she meant to forget is at the same college! Is college going to be like high school all over again? Will she be able to learn from her mistakes and protect her heart this time around? Emma must make a tough decision: allow him to reenter her life with the possibility of breaking her heart again, or take the opportunity to start afresh and find new love. She must decide if staying the same or taking a chance on something new is the right choice for her. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * This story was originally a 1D fanfiction uploaded in wattpad year 2015 with 13 Chapters. Now, I'm editing it, revising some of the names (as well as the scenes and most of the chapters) so it will fall under the category of young adult romance instead of fanfiction. The reason for doing this is for publication purposes in the future. Feel free to imagine the same characters from the original, or think of someone you liked. Louis, Harry, Zayn, Niall, and Liam will always have a special place in my heart. But for inspiration purposes, I now imagine my BTS boys for this story, particularly JK and V!
