Alissa Edisson's life changed when she first moved to Jacksonville, Florida. She hated meeting new people in her new university, especially Joseph Nuran, who she most definitely was not friendly with. She was stuck taking care of not only herself, but her older brother, Daniel Edisson, who couldn't hold a steady job at the time. Alissa felt as if her only escape was her hobbies: Music, and ice skating. She loved music, and also loved to be on the ice. If she wasn't on the ice, she was doing anything that was productive and could pass time, such as studying for exams, getting assignments done and turned in, or helping others with their work. Basically anything a normal 18 year old girl would do. Alissa did go to university fairly early, which was why it was more difficult for her. She definitely takes it like a champion, though.
Meanwhile, Joseph Nuran had already lived in Jacksonville, Florida since childhood. He knew the place well. He definitely didn't take too kindly to Alissa, though- If anything, he became immediate enemies with her, not letting his siblings befriend her or anything. Even if Alissa was an absolute sweetheart, Joseph didn't care. He didn't want anything to do with her. The only issue was, he ended up in the same classes as her in university. He didn't think he had to worry, though, because at the time, he already liked somebody, so he didn't think he'd have to worry about falling in love with her. That was... Until he met a particular person.A
