Pucking Hate You, My Bully Captain
Zach thought he'd left the drama of high school behind when he started college, eager to focus on his studies, make new friends and enjoy a peaceful campus life.
He didn't expect to see the last person he wanted there; Ryder.
Ryder Summers, the star jock and notorious player in highschool was infamous for his charm and skills.
Girls swooned over him, Guys wanted to be him.
He was adored by all.
But not Zach.
To him, attractiveness aside, he was nothing but a bully that tormented him through high school and his worst enemy.
As it seemed, things weren't so different now, whether it was people's reaction to Ryder, his hatred for Ryder or Ryder’s equal dislike for him.
He was a different person from the nerd Zach knew before however and he'd show it.
When they are paired in a high-stakes project in their class he is sure it's doomed from the start.
Forced to work together, Zach is forced to confront Ryder on a daily basis.
Yet, amidst the tension, Zach can't help but notice Ryder’s gaze lingering on his lips.
Wasn't he supposed to be straight? Shouldn't he hate him? Why then does Ryder seem drawn to him now? And worse, why doesn't he hate it?

Chapter: Chapter 5Zach's POVHell NO! The rest of our course mates exited the class, leaving just us two. I didn't even wait for the last person to leave, I just ran to the professor and begged, begged as if my life depended on it. Which it did, especially my sanity.“Professor, please,” I started, my hands gripping the edge of his desk. “You have to reconsider. Anyone else, literally anyone. I’ll take Jake, I’ll take Rita, I’ll even take that guy who vapes through his sleeve in class. But not him. Je-bal!”“Get in line,” Ryder growled behind me, stomping down the aisle like an angry gorilla. “This isn’t happening. I’m not wasting a year babysitting someone, a queer nerd who can’t even keep his emotions in check.”I turned to face him, my fists already curled. “You mean someone you humiliated in front of the entire school? Someone you outed for a joke?”“Oh, give it a rest,” he snapped. “You’re still on that? It was years ago—”“Yeah, and trauma has a longer expiration date than milk, Ryder.”“Gentlem

Chapter: Chapter 4Zach's POVAfter that night, the quiet peaceful life I had envisioned for myself in college had crumbled to dust. Whispers of that night flooded every nook, cranny and hook.Headsplash, enemies with history.Gigi had given me an earful for my actions. Yeah, maybe I should've left immediately I bumped into Ryder but I couldn't keep running. I had to stand my ground, even if it involved shoving the middle finger first."Twelve minutes left," I murmured looking at my watch. I had classes in twelve minutes, I had to get there in the next five with my hoodie fully covering my head before anybody else got in.But Brittany, being Brittany.....had to be a witch.She arrived with her minions and they blocked my path, knowing fully well that I was rushing to class."Brittany.""Zachary Jameson.""Yes, hi. I'm rushing to class, mind if you scoot over a bit?"They turned to each other and laughed loudly, as if I had spoken a joke.Brittany stepped forward like she owned the damn pavement, her arm

Chapter: Chapter 3Zach's POVI was just about to let something cruel slip out from my mouth, something sharp and loud enough to wipe that damn smirk off Ryder’s face, but Ellis grabbed my arm and pulled me aside.“Not worth it,” he muttered under his breath, steering me through the crowd like I was a balloon about to pop.We ended up in one of the spare bedrooms. Ellis tossed me a shirt from his bag, a simple black tee, soft and freshly folded. Probably something he packed for later, but he offered it without hesitation.“Change into this,” he said, already turning to leave.I nodded stiffly and waited until the door clicked shut behind him. My hands were shaking. I peeled off my wet shirt and slammed it on the floor, biting the inside of my cheek until I tasted blood. I hated this, like really...hated this.The way my chest tightened. The way my skin buzzed like it was trying to break away from my bones. I tugged Ellis’s shirt over my head. My fingers were curling into fists before I even realized it.

Chapter: Chapter 2Zach's POV "Avoid him. Go to class, keep your head down. You are here for school, not high school drama," Gigi had said as she shoved me towards the Business and Leadership Building.“He might not even be in the same class as you are!” She added cheerfully, and that felt like a rush of sweet adrenaline. If he wasn't going to be there, I would be pissed at myself that I worried for nothing. I obeyed, mostly. I ducked past every group he was a part of, I kept my steps fast, my face down, and my hoodie up. I didn't want to look around to get confirmation. Our first lecture was "Principles of Strategy," held in a wide amphitheater with seats that smelled of new leather and ambition. The sweet sweet scent of ambition.The professor was lean, his glasses were too wide, and his voice was like caffeine. His demeanor immediately told you that he wasn't exactly warm.He tossed out questions like darts. No one answered until he threw out more questions. "How would you structure a lean star

Chapter: Chapter 1Zach's pov College. Higher institution. A fresh slate. A new town, and a better place. The halls were white, the scholarship letter in my hands seemed like a breath of much needed air, and the boys....cute.Maybe the universe was finally throwing me a bone, considering that my highschool years were quite dreadful.My stomach did flips just thinking about it.Gigi fitted her ponytail into her scrunchie and turned to me."I can smell your excitement, literally."Gigi was the best fitted person in my corner. She made friendship so easy. I shoved her playfully,"I can't help it. I mean, this is Havisham, THE Havisham college and I get to attend here. It's a dream turned into reality." I ran a hand through my hair. "Plus, I get to study what I would die for. Business."She rolled her eyes"I wish I had the same level of excitement you do when it comes to things like the matters of education. School is stressful." She shrugged lightly. "Good things in life are never stress-free Gigi."Sh
