Esme Castro and David Toscani grew up side by side- but that doesn't mean they like each other. Childhood friends turned rivals, their connection burned out somewhere between high school hallways and bitter breakups. Now, they'd be happy to stay out of each other's way forever.
But college has other plans. Same dorm. Same class. Same dreams- just on opposite sides of the lens. Esme, determined to become a top sports photographer, finds herself capturing every move of David, who's chasing his shot at the big leagues. Forced into group projects and sharing sidelines, their rivalry ignites like never before- sharp words, fiery glares, and tension that's anything but academic.
Yet, between the competition and chaos, something shifts. The banter gets personal. The stares linger. And suddenly, the only thing messier than their past is the possibility of a future.

ETHEREAL
UNEDITED |Freya Livingston| has always liked being alone it's not that nobody wanted to be her friend it's more that she didn't want to be bothered. Her carefree attitude and effortless beauty has everyone wanting to be associated with the silver haired stunner. The only thing that seems to capture her undivided attention is her most beloved item, that darn sketchbook. Nobody knows what she's sketching with her delicate hands but they bet it's as beautiful as her. How will she adjust when she moves school for her senior year. [Luca Santiago] the definition of a golden boy. Being the captain of the soccer team and having top grades he's the boy your parents wishes you take home. Though being a top scoring student, he's anything but a nerd. With his seemingly perfect reputation and not to forget handsome features, he's quite the playboy. He gets everything he wants within a blink of an eye and he's everyone's idol. The only thing that prevents him from completely ruling the school is a certain leather jacket wearing, motorcycle riding guy, but he's planning on changing that soon. {Axel Andres} the certain leather jacket wearing and motorcycle riding guy. One look at him and you can tell he's up to no good, but then another look at him and you may fall in love. Which I highly suggest on not doing because he's not the commitment type. He barely even hangs out around anybody other than his own circle of friends. His cold exterior and icy glares make it hard for anyone to ever approach him and if they do then they usually end up regretting it. He's worked for everything he has which is not that much but he'll give hell to anyone who questions it. The story of a girl who wanted nothing more than to just be left alone being dragged in the very middle of rivalry she didn't ask for and she doesn't know it yet but she's the winning prize. A story about love and loss, rekindling old friendships and making new ones.Complete
