"Do you trust me, Chen?"
"Not a chance, Miller-Jones"
"Well, that makes this ten times more fun"
She grabs my hand to pull me off of the concrete ledge we're sitting on, and suddenly we break into a full sprint. I see the sand in the distance and know she has full intention of taking me into the water with her. I'm scared, so incredibly scared, but I know deep down that she's going to keep me safe.

Aurora Lucia Jean Chen, top student in the University of Florida culinary arts program is a lot of things. determined, headstrong, all-or-nothing, a tad overambitious, yes. But she is not a risktaker. so when she learns that she has to do a project with Bailey Christine Miller-Jones, an overly spunky and go-with-the-flow journalism and media arts student, she has to prepare herself to deal with the enemy, push through the rumors, fight her feelings, and all other cliches of romance.

author's note: I know some of those programs don't really exist at the University of Florida, but this story taking place at a larger, SEC school will have relevance later on. Also, there will be a playlist for both major characters, and I'll post the spotify links soon enough. Thank you for reading!

Once she opens her eyes and makes eye contact with me...fuck!
