"I hate you."

"I know."

-----------------------


Alexia Adams has dedicated her whole life to dance. As a college freshman, she scores the spot she most certainly deserves as the lead. She has spent her whole life standing up for herself and after scoring the lead, she has to do just that to survive against her fellow teammates. The only way to do this: make it into the teams sorority. Should be easy. 

Klaus Henderson spends his life at the gym, doing everything he can to ensure he can protect his little sister and make her happy, including joining a fraternity he hates and making a shady deal with its sister sorority, made all the harder by the anger that constantly boils inside him, despite his many attempts to be rid of it. He is cold and ruthless, and he wishes he wasn't. 

When the two meet on the basis of a lie, both of their worlds are flipped upside down, she's kicked out the sorority, her only chance of survival, and he's just made a new enemy that can most certainly hold a grudge. The two hate each other. But there's a fine line between love and hate that quickly becomes blurry as the two find themselves in bed together. What's worse, he is her best friend's brother.

Two athletes, one bet, and the most significant loss of all-two words. Meet her: Sofia Delezar, captain of UFN's soccer team. Sarcastic, hard-headed, and tired of the lack of media and respect the female athletes at UFN are receiving. Enter him: Stephan Westerman, star player of UFN's football team, careless, big flirt, and so happens to be UFN's golden boy with all the attention in the world. However, struggles to maintain a picture-perfect reputation. The agreement: In the span of four months, Stephan takes on the task of giving Sofia's soccer team the recognition they deserve. In return, Sofia "dates" Stephan in order to shake off his playboy reputation and mend his relationship with his parents. "Don't go falling in love with me, Delezar," his words lace with sarcasm. "Yeah, 'cause you're such a catch?" My brow cocks upward. "Wanna bet?" he shrugs, a taunting glint in his brown eyes. "An easy win," I retort, crossing my arms over my chest. "A competition," he declares, leaning back in his chair, his smug expression riling me up. "If, over these four months, someone-" "You," I interject. "Right... If it so happens that one of us, specifically you, catches feelings during our little 'relationship,' you lose," he explains, as though it's the simplest concept in the world. "And what does the winner get?" "You get to break the other person's heart," he says matter-of-factly. "Plus..." "You win." --- Best overall ranks: #1 sports #1 athlete #2 diabetes #3 college stories #4 hefallsfirst #4 college romance

The side of his lips curl up into a mysterious smirk. "Why would I do that?" A smirk creeps it's way to my face. "What? Jealous?" I tilt my head, my hand going to his abs, which is hidden by the fabric of his button up shirt. I look up at him, and his jaw clenches. He bends down whispering into my ear. "Come on love. Sway your hips like you did with him." His hands sneak to my waist, and he kisses the spot behind my ear, sending shivers down my spine and a weird feeling to my stomach. ↣↣↣↢↢↢↣↣↣↢↢↢ Nina Davis is a traumatized girl, who's trying to forget her past, and live her new life the way she deserves to.
