She's a sophomore at Columbia University-sharp, ambitious, and unforgettable. After years of loneliness and bullying growing up, she arrived on campus determined to reinvent herself. Now, she's thriving: top of her classes, surrounded by real friends, and chasing her dream of becoming a best-selling author. Her warm, magnetic presence draws people in, but beneath her confidence lingers the pain of her past. Then there's him-the boy she's clashed with since her first week. Quick-witted, infuriating, and impossible to ignore, every encounter between them sparks tension, teasing, and undeniable chemistry. Their rivalry is a constant game of snark and stolen glances, but beneath all the banter, something deeper simmers-something neither of them is ready to admit. Because sometimes, the line between enemies and something more is thinner than it seems. ღ He's the campus bad boy-the hockey captain with a smirk that melts ice and a reputation for chaos and charm. Raised on New York's Upper East Side, he grew up surrounded by wealth, but beneath the polished surface, his childhood was marked by divorce, loneliness, and broken family ties. College at Columbia offered him a fresh start, and he quickly made himself a king on campus-top of his class, star athlete, life of every party. But everything changed when he met her. From their first encounter, she challenged him like no one else ever had. Their banter was electric, their tension undeniable. What started as teasing and rivalry slowly twisted into something deeper-something real. Because beneath the smirks and sarcasm, she saw the pieces of him no one else bothered to look for. And that scared him more than he cared to admit.

Yet, between soccer games, work shifts, and busy schedules, they're forced to find a fragile balance, and maybe, just maybe, a chance for more than just a project partnership.

Heartbreak Hypothesis by AOFunke

Seducing the captain of her school's basketball team was not the way Noah Bennett thought she'd start her first year at college. But when she's offered a huge amount of money by one of the most popular people at her school, she agrees. What Noah doesn't know is that the person she's trying to seduce is her latest sworn enemy, Daniel Brighton. This singular fact could have made bridging the contract impossible, but she finds herself doing exactly that; literally falling for the basketball player who may not be as bad a person as she initially thought. It's exactly at this point that she realises; she's made a terrible mistake. ©2022-present. AOFunke

What starts as a strategic alliance slowly sparks with unexpected emotions, clashing ideals, and dangerous attraction.
