College Stories

The classroom was unusually quiet for a Monday morning. Or perhaps Kavya only noticed the silence because she wasn't listening to anything else. Rows of students filled the lecture hall. Books lay open. Pens moved across paper. Outside the windows, the city carried on with its usual indifference. Inside, a lecture had just begun. At the front of the room, Dr. Ahaan wrote something across the board before turning back to face the class. "Can anyone answer that?" Several hands rose. Kavya kept hers lowered. His eyes scanned the room briefly. Moving from one face to another. Patient. Unhurried. Professional. And then they reached her. A second. No more. His expression didn't change. Neither did hers. The moment passed. For reasons she couldn't explain, she felt as though something significant had happened. And yet, if anyone had asked, she would have had nothing to tell them. Nothing at all.

She has a survival guide. He's about to burn it. Emmy Carter knows exactly how the world works for a scholarship girl at Blackthorne University: keep your head down, keep your grades up, and stay invisible. Above all, never cross paths with the elite. Especially not Cole Harrington-the university's golden lacrosse captain, the arrogant multi-million dollar heir to a Boston empire, and a guy who looks like sin wrapped in cold, gray-eyed indifference.

Her life has always had one path, but what happens when it gets derailed? April is a champion figure skater with big ambitions and even bigger prospects. At the rink, she's a winner. Beneath the surface, the pressure is slowly killing her. When a devastating accident leaves her with career-stalling injuries, she's sent to a mindfulness retreat with none other than the boy who caused the accident. She now has to deal with her infuriating enemy, Caden, who also happens to be the star hockey captain. When April begins to realise that there's more to Caden than meets the eye, their relationship begins to change. He challenges her in ways she's never been challenged, and she craves the warmth that she sees in his eyes. But April has sacrificed so much for her career, and now she has no direction. She doesn't know if she can forgive Caden, but if she doesn't, her anger might consume her.

That's my fifth payment" Falling for her brother's rival? Of course not. She'd rather eat dirt. For Isla, it was supposed to be a simple university project: observe, analyze, and leave. But you can't observe a predator like Noah Blackwood without becoming the prey. He's the new captain of the Blackthorns. The golden boy. The trustees' son and the visionary future of the University. But to Isla Maria Carter... he's nothing more than a SON OF A BISCUIT. He's her brother's greatest rival. Her biggest headache. And now? Her mandatory partner. Noah doesn't like being a subject; he likes being the one in control. And he has decided the only subject he's interested in... is her. HE WANTS HER TO FALL FOR HIM. SHE WANTS HIM TO FALL IN A PIT. HE WANTS TO KISS HER. SHE WANTS TO PUNCH HIM. FOR HIM, SHE'S THE CHALLENGE HE NEVER SAW COMING. FOR HER, HE'S THE PROBLEM SHE CAN'T ESCAPE. HE WANTS HER. SHE WANTS HIM-MURDERED. This season's game has officially moved off the field. But the question remains the same, "Who is going to win this match?" •=======• Cover by @elaradaven Well yes there are many kiss scenes in between (for absolute no reason acc to me) because, come on! It's my book and I love these things lol. Okay I know you guys. So, here's the spice level:- 4/5 🌶️ [UNDER EDITING]
