Rivals

Sapphire's the face of Diamond College, raised to bleed blue and green. And on the Island of Rivals, you either love her or hate her for it. The star athlete and scholar, as well as the entire reason her football team is beating their rival, Gilded University, she has a target on her back. She finds herself kidnapped and stuck with a preppy Gilded cheerleader and the cocky quarterback, Jacob Black. An unwilling Gem stuck in a college full of Gilded? Well, all is fair in love and football.

I raised my eyebrows at him. "And you thought kidnapping was the best way to do that?"

"Nah. I wanted to see what you were like away from all the watching eyes."
I scoffed. "Ah, yes. How cliche of you, Mr. Black."
He reached for my hand and my breath caught as he intertwined my fingers with his. I pulled away, shocked, and blushed. He cleared his throat. "Yeah. Cliche."
