My junior year of college has started out about as awesome as the two years that came before it.
And by awesome, I mean an absolute shit show that Iām pretty convinced is part of some reality show I didnāt know I was a part of.
Donāt get me wrong, itās not all bad.
I have amazing friends. A championship soccer team. The best family a girl could ask for.
Youād think with all that, Iād be happy with the way my college experience is going, and I guess in a way, I am. As long as you donāt count the black cloud that has followed me since freshman year in the form of one infuriatingly beautiful man who Iāve been tempted to run over with a car more times than I would ever admit.
Macallan Stewart⦠Gorgeous. Untouchable. Idolized. Star football playerāboth on and off the field.
Women love him. Men want to be him. And I⦠Well, Iām too busy trying not to stab pencils into his eye sockets to allow myself to feel anything but anger, which definitely beats the alternative.
It wasnāt always like this. I used to understand why people gravitated toward him. Once upon a time, I was one of those people. That is, until he used me and discarded me like I was nothing.
I started this year with a promise to myselfāthat I was not going to let this man have another second of my energy. Unfortunately, that plan goes straight out the window when my professor randomly selects lab partners and somehow, by the unluckiest draw in the world, I get paired with Macallan.
Working with him turns out to be even harder than I thought. With his cocky smirk and wicked mouth, heās as frustrating as he is charming.
I hate him. I hate his stupid perfect face and his stupid perfect body and everything he stands for. But most of all, I hate how deep down, Iām starting not to hate him at all.
Thatās the problem with love and hateāoftentimes only a very thin line separates them and at any given time, you could end up on the opposite side of where you think youāre standing and not even realize itā¦
College has been everything that Maisie expected from her play on the pitch to the friendships she has made but the one black mark was Macallan.Ā Ā The way he ended their relationship has made an impact and she would be happy to never see him again however that wish is not about to come true when they find themselves having to work together on a project.
Macallan is a star on campus both on and off the field and there is a lot more to why he ended their relationship than Maisie knows.Ā Ā Having to work together reignites the feelings between them however not everyone is happy they are together and will do whatever is necessary to keep them apart.
It was great to catch up with the other characters in this series and see Maisie and Macallam overcome the obstacles they are facing.Ā Ā A little suspense, some turmoil and a heartwarming romance.
