Alleah Golubev, a girl who grew up in Sochi, Russia, has always been an outsider. A girl that wanted to go to the United States, and orphaned. That opportunity arrives when she was accepted to some of the most prestigious ivy league universities in the US-MIT, Harvard, Stanford, and Princeton. With her wits about her, she's moves to the city of Cambridge, Massachusetts to attend Harvard, with the plans to major in physics. 

Dawson Neumann, a man of few words. From Madison, Wisconsin, he has many goals, and grew up looking up to his grandfather who went to Harvard and became a world renowned aerospace engineer. They both have some very very large aspirations, and are both very competitive. I wonder what will happen between the two?

Crashing Into YOU by its_kkash
15 parts Ongoing Mature
Brielle Stone (19) Freshman communications major at UCLA. A mix of chaos and charm. Streetwear, crop tops, hoodies, and heels. She works out religiously, the gym is her therapy, the one place she feels in control. Behind the confident smile and smoky eyeliner is a girl still learning how to breathe. Her parents have always decided everything for her : her grades, her friends, her image. The rebellion came late, but it came loud. Smoking. Parties. People she never texts back. Freedom is her quiet revenge. She wants to be a social media manager : something that's hers, something creative, something free. She's got confidence that fills a room; baggy cargos one day, tiny black dress the next. Hiphop playlists, lip gloss, and gym sessions are her therapy. She's not soft, not easy to impress, and not about to fall for a guy like Asher... or so she tells herself. Asher Kane (20) Second-year business major and UCLA's soccer star. He's the kind of guy who walks into a room and people notice, not because he tries, but because he just owns it. He's 6'1, athletic, with that casual designer look, chains, crisp shirts, and sneakers worth more than some cars. He vapes between classes, drinks to forget his father's expectations, and smokes when the pressure builds. Soccer is his escape, his one rebellion against the life planned for him: taking over the family's international business empire. Soccer is his life... until Brielle starts to mess with his focus in ways he didn't expect. Everyone thinks he's the confident, flirtatious bad boy. But he's just trying to hold himself together.

𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 / academic rivals 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 Georgia Ivy Findlay is the girl who seems to have it all together-smart, kind, and effortlessly cool. But beneath that calm exterior, she's got a secret life as an assassin, forced to grow up way too fast after losing her parents. She's been fending for herself and her sisters ever since, balancing school with the kind of work that would give most people nightmares. Georgia's got friends and can vibe with pretty much anyone... except Enzo Romano. Enzo is the definition of trouble-rich, popular, and with a bad attitude to match. As the heir to his dad's mafia empire, he's got a chip on his shoulder and no time for niceties. In school, he's the guy everyone either fears or admires, but to Georgia, he's just a pain in the ass. They're both at the top of their class, and the rivalry between them is intense-fueled by snide remarks, icy glares, and a shared hatred that's as undeniable as it is electric. But what happens when the lines between hate and something else start to blur? When one of them begins to feel something deeper, something dangerous, that could change everything? ______________________________________ A/N: This book is going to be focusing on multiple povs like more people than the 2 Main characters just wanted to put that out there also this is the first book I have ever written so if it's cringe I apologize I also appreciate corrections in the comments (Pictures in the book are not mine )
