18 parts Ongoing MatureSeventeen-year-old River Night Jones never wanted to be here. Transferring to Angel's Institute, an elite boarding school, was his mother's idea-a last-ditch effort to "fix" him after what happened at his old school. The weight of expectations, the suffocating pressure to be perfect, and the constant reminder of his past mistakes press down on him. But the real problem?
His roommate.
Alexander Cain is everything River despises in a person-rich, popular, arrogant, and infuriatingly gorgeous. The kind of person who walks into a room and owns it without trying. A star athlete with a smirk that could melt hearts, but to River, it's just irritating. Worse, Alexander makes it painfully clear that he doesn't want to share a room with him either. The air between them is charged with tension, a battle of words and intellect, as they struggle to tolerate each other's presence.
River doesn't break easily. He's been through worse. But Alexander knows exactly how to push his buttons, testing the limits of his patience and self-control.
