When Sage's boyfriend Dylan breaks up with her three days before her physics final, causing her to fail and repeat the subject, she decides she'd rather be angry than sad. Angry enough to start planning her revenge. In comes Corey Bishop, team captain and Sage's hated enemy since high school. Corey has never liked Sage, and he's never tried to hide it. Not when Dylan first introduced her to the team, and not when Sage approaches him with a deal in mind. A deal that will bring Dylan down and secure Corey's spot as captain all at once. Sage is surprised when Corey accepts the terms of her fake-dating arrangement. Even when it means he has to be off-limits for three long months. She's beginning to think he has something bigger to gain from it all, some sort of stake in the game. He prefers to call it a favour.
