Mila has been called a lot of things - too quiet, too much, too guarded - but she's learned to live with the noise in her head. College was supposed to be a fresh start, a chance to find her footing, get out of her shell, and meet new people. Three years in, she's got the dream friend group and doing well in classes, yet it feels like she's stilling running in place. The critical thoughts never let up, and she can't shake the feeling that she's always on the outside looking in.
Then there's August - confident, sharp-witted, and as annoyingly charming as he is kind. As the roommate of two of her friends, they end up crossing paths a handful of times. Small moments that should feel insignificant linger in the back of her mind, still Mila's own thought have a way of holding her back. Making her question every move and every connection. But when an impulsive New Year's Eve party shifts everything, she'll have to decide is she's ready to stop overthinking and embrace the unexpected... even if it means letting someone in.

It Started in Spanish
Anthony stops at my bare shoulder and leans down to press a hot kiss onto the skin. "You can't say things like that.." He delivers another, this one to my collarbone and making my words grow weak, unconvincing ... even as they come from my own mouth. "We're supposed to be ... friends." Anthony is quiet at first, the only response I get being his free hand drifting over to cage my body into the small space between us. "I know .." He trails off. It goes dead silent for a second. "But I ... don't think that's enough for me, B." There's a sharp breath from me at the words and a flush of heat to my cheeks when Anthony pushes my hair over my shoulder. His actions expose me to him, showing off my bare shoulders in a way that's downright indecent as the straps pulled down now hang loosely off my arms. "I don't want .. to be just a friend to you." And then, there's another kiss to pair. Although it isn't a simple peck this time. It's an actual kiss now, slow and softly pressed onto my neck. Beatrix thought she'd never trust another guy again. After being burned, both physically and emotionally by her ex-boyfriend Rudy in her senior year of high school, Beatrix's trust in people is low. That is, until she transfers to the esteemed, private Highland University. It's a fresh start to give the girl what she wants most: A shot at normalcy. The plan is simple .. just keep her head down, study her ass off, try to become a functional person once again and hopefully make one friend or two. Everything was supposed to start over that year. She'd had high hopes of starting anew and faithfully prepared to blend in to the background. And the day goes well. Until she sits down in Spanish, where she meets Anthony Gamaro. After a slight misunderstanding, Beatrix finds herself in an odd friendship with the 20 year old football player. One that slowly helps her regain the confidence she'd long lost before.
