[An Epistolary | Making Headlines #2] Jeanne Kelsey used to be the girl who's straightforward when it comes to the things she likes. Known for her confidence, charm, and outgoing personality - she was considered dauntless, fit for her role as a journalism major and part of the school publication team at Archers University.
Kise Joshua, on the other hand, is the brooding and reserved Vice Captain of the Archers Basketball Team. However, there was one thing Kise never told anyone. He secretly runs a band at an off-shore bar near the coast called "Phoenix" as the lead guitarist and leader of the group.
What happens if a curious journalist and a secret pop musician at night crosses the same path? Will secrets continue to stay as they are?

Baby Steps
Eden College student Josephine "Jo" Hayes is trying to get through her senior year without any hiccups. She has somehow made it through the past three years without any serious friend or boy drama, and she intends to keep it that way, especially after her difficult high school experience. All she wants is to spend time with her friends, party while she's still young, and get top grades to prepare her for law school. There's simply no time for anything serious in the world of Jo. Colton Cavanaugh is a recent transfer to Eden College, where he is expected to take on the role as star player of the Eden Eagles, their hockey team. He has a reputation as a player, and his charm and good looks do nothing to help save the girls of Eden from heartbreak. But Colton couldn't care less; his only goals for the year are getting barely-passing grades, go pro, and party. A lot. When the two first cross paths, the experience is rather unpleasant, leaving them both with a sour impression of each other. Jo thinks Colton is an arrogant and childish, and Colton sees Jo as argumentative and stubborn. But as they continue to run into each other, will their feelings change? A/N: this is my first time writing literally anything, so please bare with me lol. All suggestions welcome, but pls be nice:) Also, the disclaimer you all need: 18+!!
