Enemies. Teammates. Maybe... everything in between.
All she wanted was peace-quiet classes, long walks, and the kind of life that stayed out of campus drama. What she didn't want? A basketball court heartthrob with a sharp jaw, sharper tongue, and a reputation she wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole.
But fate, apparently, loves a slow burn.
From stolen water bottles to late-night project rehearsals, unexpected field visits to heated matches, their story unfolds like wildfire-messy, tender, infuriatingly magnetic.
She swore he was a flirt. He swore she was impossible.
Until one kiss changed everything. Until one fight tore it apart.
Until they realized, maybe... the real obstacle between them wasn't pride or pasts-
It was the space they kept, and the feelings they hid.
A story of rivalry, vulnerability, and the kind of love that doesn't ask for permission.
Because when it comes to hearts like theirs-
Distance was never the problem.
He was.
