Beauty and brains- that's what they called her. Amara Cheng is a 21-year-old first-year student, majoring in Creative Writing. Ever since her sister left her with their emotionally abusive parents, she started focusing on her studies and staying as her introverted, non-social and quiet self. Amara has been determined to focus on herself, and only on herself.
Then there's Axel Haga-20 years old, all parties, and no future and infamous for being a spoiled, good-for-nothing image he lived by, making him the talk of the campus. Majoring in Creative Writing only for the reason that he thinks it's easy to get done, and everyone knew he would just be living off his rich father's money. And this same image made his Major course blockmate, Amara, despise him, or I guess you could say more like avoid him at all costs, unaware of the pain hidden behind his rebellion.
What would one birthday party, and a one night stand do to two polar opposites, navigating their college lives, with struggles of their own, and with this new experience, together, adding an extra spice on their lives.

Reckless Fearless Careless | ✓
"What are you doing here?" I ask but it comes out as a sob. I don't want him, or anyone for that matter, to see me like this. I'm a wreck. Wyatt doesn't seem to mind though. He softly brushes the remaining tears from my face with his thumb. "I saw you run out of the canteen, green eyes. I couldn't just leave you here to cry because that would go against the tutor code." "Tutor code?" I ask, puzzled. "Yes, the tutor code. It states that a student must make sure his tutor is never upset or crying and if he does ever find her like this it's his job to make her smile at any cost," he tells me. "You just made that up." "Maybe I did but that doesn't matter. Come on," he says, extending his hand out to me. "Where are we going?" "You'll see." ~*~*~ Aurora is a normal seventeen year old, happy and content with life. However, this all changes the day her boyfriend of two years, James, breaks up with her. Naturally, she's crushed. The icing on the cake is why he did it. Apparently she's 'too boring'. Determined to prove him wrong, she strikes a deal with the school's notorious bad boy, Wyatt King. She'll tutor him in maths if he teaches her to be reckless, fearless and careless. Can Aurora overcome the odds and do what she planned? Or perhaps someone will stop her on her mission to win over James. Maybe this isn't as easy as she thought it would be. Maybe she takes things a little too far. And just maybe making a deal with the bad boy isn't such a smart idea. ~*~*~ *contains mature language* #9 in high school 20/02/19 #1 in young love 14/03/19 #2 in chicklit 27/03/19 #1 in heartbreak 08/04/19 #21 in teenfiction 26/08/20 #10 in romance 26/08/20 #1 in bad boy 02/04/21Complete
