Two athletes, one bet, and the most significant loss of all-two words. 

Meet her: Sofia Delezar, captain of UFN's soccer team. Sarcastic, hard-headed, and tired of the lack of media and respect the female athletes at UFN are receiving. 

Enter him: Stephan Westerman, star player of UFN's football team, careless, big flirt, and so happens to be UFN's golden boy with all the attention in the world. However, struggles to maintain a picture-perfect reputation.

The agreement: In the span of four months, Stephan takes on the task of giving Sofia's soccer team the recognition they deserve. In return, Sofia "dates" Stephan in order to shake off his playboy reputation and mend his relationship with his parents.

                                                        +++

"Don't go falling in love with me, Delezar," his words lace with sarcasm.

"Yeah, 'cause you're such a catch?" My brow cocks upward.

"Wanna bet?" he shrugs, a taunting glint in his brown eyes.

"An easy win," I retort, crossing my arms over my chest.

"A competition," he declares, leaning back in his chair, his smug expression riling me up.

"If, over these four months, someone-"

"You," I interject.

"Right... If it so happens that one of us, specifically you, catches feelings during our little 'relationship,' you lose," he explains, as though it's the simplest concept in the world.

"And what does the winner get?"

"You get to break the other person's heart," he says matter-of-factly.

"Plus..."

"You win."

I fell for a boy with the kindest blue eyes, and a charming dimple. He made me feel loved, and cared for, and most importantly he made me feel safe in his presence. He came right in the middle of a tornadoe and managed to turn it into blue skies. He changed my perspective and gave me hope and strength." I looked at him, and he was smiling, and his eyes were a little glossy. He took my hand and kissed it, a small tear caught in the corner of his beautiful eyes. "I thought, hey, maybe life isn't so bad after all. Maybe I can finally allow myself to love and be loved, and to live life normally. When we went to your party, you told me to wait for you. But then your perverted cousin made me feel super uncomfortable, so I went looking for you, just to be able to feel at peace again. And that's when I saw it." My heart beats skyrocketed, because this was the moment everything changed forever. "Saw what?" Asked Axel. I took a deep breath, and continued. It's now or never. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Sophia Grace is a 25 year old Forensic Science major who recently started working as a cashier at her local grocery store - "The Corner Store".

MATURE CONTENT Enter at your own risk.... "I'm not expecting declarations of love, nor anything much, really. Hell, I don't even know if I want a relationship. But I can't deny that I want you. Really bad." I admitted it for the first time aloud. "I think it's pretty out there that we want each other, don't you?" A teasing grin played about his lips. "So what do you suppose we do about that?" I eyed his lips and sucked in my own. "Well, you're the first girl that I don't see as a one-time thing so it's not like we do it once and I can just let you go." He said. "Maybe you won't have to." I proposed. "We're both obviously not into a relationship right now, and that's why I think it would be best to keep it physical in that sense and we wouldn't damage our friendship because there was never a relationship to squash it." ******************************************************* With the inability to trust the male population, Sofia Vincenti goes into college with the thought that she would be strictly focusing on school...for a little bit anyway. Setting up her cousin/roommate, Kristina Vincenti, with Isaac Mulvaney turned out to be a little more complicated since she can't seem to get his best friend, Nathan Stone, out of her mind. He's sexy, he's sweet -- only to her --, he also just wants to be her friend. Until they realize they want each other, and begin the unhealthy relationship of a friends with benefits. The real question is: can Sofia really keep her heart out of it, or has she fallen too deep?

You know the old saying fake it til you make it? Well my best friend took that a little too seriously. Caitlyn came up with a crazy scheme to help me finally get the guy I had been crushing on for three years. Her plan was a little unorthodox to say the least. She decided that her and her boyfriend Colton should stage a break up so I could pretend to date him for a month. He was the quarterback of the football team and the most popular guy in school. She said dating him would make the guys at our school finally stop seeing me as a shy, undateable nerd. She said I would have my pick of any guy after that, including my crush Takashi. It was the most ridiculous plan I had ever heard of. There was no way anyone would actually believe me and Colton were dating. He was the quarterback of the football team. It would have probably been easier to convince the whole school that I was dating the President. The problem was, I knew she was right. It was probably the only way I could get Takashi (my crush) to see me as girlfriend material and I wanted that more than anything in the world. Plus, Caitlyn's crazy schemes usually worked and I was desperate, so I reluctantly agreed to it. The weirdest part of the whole thing was, her boyfriend Colton used to be my best friend before him and her started dating and she gradually took his place as my best friend. That was four years ago and him and I weren't near as close as we used to be. Now he was just my best friend's boyfriend. CONTENT WARNING: Very mature themes & sexual content - 18+ only!

"I hate you so fucking much." She seethes as she walks towards me. "Oh really?" I respond, arms folded across my chest. "Yes really." She shoots back. By this point there was barely any space between us, I could see all her features from her big brown eyes to the faint beauty spot above her lip. She was the prettiest girl I had ever seen, the urge to feel those full, beautiful lips tempted me terribly. Before I could stop myself, I smashed my lips onto hers, catching her by surprise before she quickly pushed me off of her due to shock. Before I knew it her lips were back on mine, taking me by surprise. The feeling of her lips against mine sent a jolt through my body, her soft hands had found their way to my hair. She kissed back with the same intensity proving my suspicion right. Delia Almendré didn't hate me. ~~~ Delia Almendrié had three goals: completing her second year at UM:HV,(University of Miami: Hudson Valley) qualifying for the Olympics and pleasing her parents. With a schedule like hers, she wouldn't let anything or anyone throw her off right? Alex Kim was a beast at ice hockey, leading the HVPB(Hudson Valley Polar Bears) to victory multiple times. He was the perfect candidate for captain, fun but responsible, handsome, tall and level-headed. His goal was to make it into the NHL after college and as long as he focused on hockey he should be fine right? Due to an unforeseen incident, the two are forced to share a rink, resulting in sparks flying and not in a good way. These two are constantly at each other's necks, if they aren't arguing they're sending each other deathly glares. The pair are stuck together in more ways than one, but all is well since Delia doesn't like hot hockey players anyways. And Alex doesn't like pretty figure skaters, right?
