Until she met him.
Now being 18, she's in her final year of school. Everything was going smoothly, her friendship with Lucas, her grades, and her relationships with teachers, until she had to start tutoring math to a certain student who goes by the name Caiden Ford Fulton. All through school, she did her best to avoid him. Caiden's father was the leader of the Italian mafia, soon he'd take over. She hated the way his shirt always became untucked and disheveled. She hated the way his paper airplanes would find their way to her desk. She hated the way he gets kicked out of every lesson. She hated how her body responds to his touch, and she doesn't hate him for it.
Ever since Caiden first met Oaklyn when he was 14, he's been infuriated by her lack of interest in him, always wanting an excuse to talk to her. She never attends his basketball games. Never smiles at him like the other girls there did. Never gave him a second glance. Now that he's purposely failing math to spend some one-on-one time with her, he's determined to make her like him.
After they start to get closer, they're both surprised at how different they thought each other would be. After getting to know eachother, they both can't deny their feelings, despite the world being against them.
Together, they face it.
