He's the Olympic gold medalist in my major that I'd never have a chance with, and our paths finally cross when I try to set him up with my shy best friend.

DAZE

After being bullied by the cutest boy in high school, I have a very strict policy in college of avoiding cute guys. Pretty hard when Jake freaking Bing, Olympic volleyball gold medalist, exists in the same timeline as me. Or to be more precise, in my engineering major.
It doesn't help that my best friend has a giant flaming torch for him. But she's too shy to do anything except pining from afar. I'm the only one who can help her, even if it means approaching the unapproachable Jake.

JAKE

People around me got really weird after I won a gold medal at last year's Olympics, especially girls who seem to see me as their ticket to fame or money. I decide to swear off them for what's left of my college career and focus on school and volleyball. 
But then Daisy, AKA Daze, Rojas decides to give me the time of the day for the first time in almost four years, and I just so happen to have always had a weakness for her. Too bad she seems to be trying to set me up with her friend...

HAZEL FINE SINGS ALONG (WATTYS 2022 Winner!)

48 parts Complete

New and improved version of Hazel Fine Sings Along is now published as a Paperback, and E-book with W by Wattpad Books! As Wattpad reader you can read the original version and find the link to published version inside. ****** [COMPLETE] Lights! Camera! Action! Everyone feels like they're playing a part sometimes. But Hazel Fine has played so many roles, for so many people, she isn't even sure who the real Hazel is anymore...much less whether she still has a chance at achieving any of her dreams. When she lands an improbable audition for the competition show The Sing Along, she knows she has to give the producers what they want, because this is her last shot. If only she could figure out what that was. Of course she's going to sing her heart out, but should she let herself fall for Benji, the "Crowd Favorite," and give them a showmance they won't forget? Can she fend off the advances of the powerful celebrity judge without getting eliminated from the competition? And what about that incredibly grumpy musical producer, Nick, who is always criticizing her? Ok, he calls it "advice" as if he's trying to help. But he's driving Hazel crazy. When the curtain is unexpectedly pulled back on Hazel's past and all the things she has pretended to be begin to spill out into the spotlight, is there any chance the real Hazel Fine can still find what she's looking for?
