Booksmarts

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.
