Kyzier is a junior, a star basketball player with NBA dreams and a reputation that echoes through campus halls. Charming, confident, and undeniably attractive, he's known for playing games on and off the court. But when their paths cross, something feels different-for both of them.
Their connection is instant, electric... and confusing. As Kyzier gears up for the draft and Xaris adjusts to college life, the line between a dream romance and a harsh reality begins to blur.
Is this the start of something real-or just another chapter in a college love story gone wrong?
In a world full of distractions, pressure, and temptation, Xaris must figure out: is Kyzier her true love... or just her first lesson?

After The Buzzer
College was supposed to be the dream. Reiko Aoki finally made it - USC's campus, a D1 basketball scholarship, and a chance to prove herself on a national stage. But nothing about Freshman year goes as planned. The pressure is relentless, the spotlight harsher, and everyone on the court is just as good as she is - or better. And no matter how far she runs, the injury that almost ended it all still haunts her steps. Off the court, things are just as complicated. Living with Jabari - her best friend turned boyfriend - feels different now that the stakes are higher. Their relationship is real, but so are the cracks neither of them saw coming. Old friendships stretch thin, new ones form in the most unexpected places, and somewhere between scrimmages, sleepless nights, and stolen kisses, Reiko starts to question who she is without a ball in her hands. Torn between chasing greatness and simply surviving, After the Buzzer follows Reiko through her first year of college and beyond - exploring love, loyalty, pressure, purpose, and what it means to grow up when the game you love no longer loves you back. Freshman year was supposed to be the beginning. So why does it feel like she's already falling behind?

And what she wants is Desmond-cool, quiet, unreadable Desmond. The girl who won't flirt back but never looks away. The girl who moves like control, but kisses like chaos. What starts with hallway glances and late-night FaceTimes turns into sleepovers, sideline tension, and a love that refuses to wait its turn. Desmond's afraid to need. Haylen needs too much. And neither of them is backing down. This isn't just a campus love story. It's about claiming what's yours. And holding on-harder, louder, deeper. If you say it, you better mean it.Complete
