wait for me

Eden Anderson is an incoming freshman in college, triumphing on a new beginning just over a thousand miles from home in New York, with not a single familiar face from her high school. Except for one, Tate Gray. The jock of her small-town high school, captain of the soccer team, and did he even know her name? His career-ending hamstring tear ripped his first and only love from the grasp of his palms. The girls at school, including Eden, knew he was unattainable but only craved him more. The desire to be Tate Gray's was a craving that had no end. Those who were lucky didn't make it past the talking stage, and did not last more than a week. To Eden's surprise, Tate does know who she is, more than she ever thought. She was quiet, pretty mediocre looking, and a late bloomer, but she did make the varsity soccer team her freshman year, whilst he was captain, and in his junior year. She barely knew but his name echoing around the small town and people naming him a player. He wasn't super tall, but not quite short either. He had tan skin, somewhere between white and a deep brown, and a chiseled face with a sharp jawline and high cheekbones. He had a cheeky laugh that made you smile at the sound of it in hand with his perfect smile. He had dark curly hair, and dressed like no one else that I knew. He always wore unique colorful shorts tied with fitted T-shirts that showed his athletic build. He had a ripped six pack that came naturally, with smaller legs, kinda the way that people are just naturally pretty muscular and accumulate muscle easier than others. Upon bonding and becoming close friends, Eden realizes he isn't as perfect as she thought. Tate begins to become infatuated with Eden by the facade of disinterest she puts on for him. Neither of them want relationships or to be deprived oftheir vices, and they don't try to get between each other. Tate and Eden, both on the pre-medical track, hit rock bottom together, and apart, and find love along the way.
