Years of competing made it easy for Alinna to resent Mason. As they decide to push their hatred aside and work together, they realize that their booksmarts won't come in handy any time soon. 

                                              *****

Social butterfly Alinna Windham was exactly what you'd imagine as the stereotypical teen girl. She loved everything drowned in glitter and all shades of pink. As girly as she was, she despised being underestimated. Fighting stereotypes all of her life, Alinna never thought the one person who truly accepted her, would walk out when she needed him most.

Time flies as Senior Year rolls around. An opportunity of a lifetime opens up for one lucky student-to be accepted into a prestigious university, far far away. Ironically both Alinna and Mason are more than qualified. Tensions arise, adding fuel to the already existing fire between Alinna and Mason. 

Their lives revolved around a few things. Schoolwork, books, getting into college, and repeat. 
Soon they come to realize that books couldn't prepare them for this next chapter in their lives.

Abuse. Whether it comes from a parent or a significant other is an issue that has brought many into being manipulated, ruined, or even shattered into a hundred different pieces. Alaiya Storm can check off all those things, even though she doesn't realize it. When one day Roman Blackwood; the quarterback of the college football team who has no desire to ever date and is used to just the one-time hookup with no strings attached thing, sees the way Alaiya is being treated, will he put his hatred aside that he feels for her after a not-so-great interaction? They both find each other irritating. With Roman's sarcastic comments and Alaiya's constant need to stay in this abusive relationship, an annoyance, but also an inability to resist each other grows in a way they didn't expect, nor wanted. ~~~~~~ "I hate you more and more everyday," I say as I turn my head towards her. "Keep going," she encourages me before her mouth begins to suck harder on the crook of my neck. I grip onto the back of the wood tighter while her hand goes to the inside of my hair and pushes my neck closer for her mouth's reach. The minute I feel her tongue begin to glide again, I lose all control instantly. "I don't give a fuck." I throw my stick to the ground and pull her by the back of her throat in under a second as our lips finally connect. ~~~~~~ 1k reads April 30, 2021 10k reads on May 7, 2021 100k reads on May 16, 2021 **** Top Ranks: #1 in College #1 in Football #1 in love story #1 in friends #1 in Series #2 in Happy Ending #3 in bwwm #3 in Humor #3 in Enemies to lovers #4 in Collegeromance
