Nineteen-year-old Ellie Bates doesn't do much in her life other than study pre-law at NYU. She doesn't like to go out or party or try new things. However, she somehow gets wrangled into going to an NBA basketball game with her best friend, Angelina, where she cracks her head open after superstar basketball player Nate Hawthorne falls on top of her, reminding Ellie once again, why she doesn't try new things.
When Ellie runs into Nate again the next day in the alley near her apartment, the pair realize that their fateful and painful meeting wasn't a one time occurrence. Ellie shows Nate around New York and before they part ways again, they swap phone numbers to stay in touch.
And that is exactly what they do. Plus a little more.

how far would you go . . . for someone you love? ♔ Levi steps forward, placing himself between me and Jack. Like he's protecting me from him. But I don't need protecting, certainly not from Jack. "Who do you think you are, dude?" Levi spits, getting in Jack's face. "Look, Scarlett was just helping me out with a proj-" "I'm not your dude," Jack bites, and I want to tear my hair out of my head. This is going downhill very fast. Jack turns to me. "Scar, we need to talk," he says lowly. Then loud enough for Levi to hear, "So can you please get this kid to leave." "Hey, you don't get to come in here and start ordering her around," Levi says harshly. "You don't control her." "And you think that you do?" Jack spits. ♔ When Scarlett moved off to college, she hoped to start anew and find her way in this world alone. Two problems. One: her older brother goes to the same college, and it seems like he's everywhere, keeping her from doing everything she hoped to do as a college freshman.
