Kai Pov

The air in the quad tasted like copper. It was the sharp, metallic tang of a car crash before the smoke started to rise. I stood by the curb, my skin crawling as students stopped in their tracks. They weren't looking at the horizon. They were looking at me. Then they looked at Ava.

My phone vibrated so hard in my pocket it felt like a buzzing insect trying to burrow into my hip. I didn't need to check it. I already knew. The "urgent" email from the administration was just the appetizer

  • Falling for the Bad Boy Athlete   Chapter 190 Conflicted Love Returns 

    AvaThe gym is loud. It’s a physical weight, a wall of sound that vibrates in my chest. Crestwood University hasn't seen a win like this in a decade. The air smells like sweat, popcorn, and that electric charge of a crowd that just witnessed a miracle.On the court, Kai is the center of the universe. He’s breathless, his jersey clinging to his skin, hair a tangled mess of dark curls. He looks alive. Really alive. The trophy is in his hands, but his eyes are scouring the bleachers. He’s looking for me.I’m standing near the exit, my heart doing gymnastics. For months, I’ve been the girl in the shadows. The scholarship student who stayed within the lines. The girl who followed every rule because the stakes were too high to lose. But looking at him now, I realize the biggest risk isn't losing my funding. It’s losing the person who taught me how to breathe.“Go to him,” Sarah nudges me, her voice barely audible over the chanting. She’s grinning, that wild, supportive look in her eyes. “St

  • Falling for the Bad Boy Athlete   Chapter 189 Jealous Threat Returns

    RivalI stood in the shadows of the bleachers, the cold metal biting into my palms. The gym was a chaotic mess of sound. Screams, whistles, and the rhythmic squeak of sneakers against the hardwood floor usually felt like home to me. Today, it felt like a funeral. My funeral. I watched the clock tick down, but I wasn't looking at the score. I was looking at him.Kai. He stood in the center of the court, drenched in sweat and breathing like a titan. He’d won. Again. He always won. Whether it was the game or the girl, Kai moved through life like the rules were just suggestions written for lesser people. Like me."Look at them," a voice hissed next to me. It was one of the benchwarmers, someone whose name I didn't care to remember.I didn't need to be told where to look. My eyes were already locked on the sidelines. Ava was there. The scholarship girl. The "good girl" who was supposed to be a temporary distraction. I’d spent months waiting for her to realize she was out of her league. I’d

  • Falling for the Bad Boy Athlete   Chapter 188 Locker Room Heartbeat Again 

    KaiThe locker room smells like the same old cocktail of sweat, expensive body spray, and victory. It’s a scent that used to be my entire world. Usually, after a win like this, I’d be the loudest one here. I’d be standing on a bench, shouting over the music, basking in the glory of another trophy. But today, the noise feels distant. My ears are still ringing with the roar of the crowd, but my heart is beating a different rhythm.I sat on the wooden bench, my jersey damp against my skin. My lungs were burning. We won. Crestwood University finally took the championship. I should be ecstatic, right? By the way, I am. But it’s not because of the scoreboard. It’s because of the girl who was standing in the front row, wearing my jersey and screaming like her life depended on it."Yo, Kai! Big moves out there, man!"I looked up. My teammates were high-fiving, shoving each other, and planning the after-party. A few months ago, I would have been the first one out the door to find the nearest k

  • Falling for the Bad Boy Athlete   Chapter 187 Hidden Letter Returns 

    AvaI used to think my life was a series of predictable equations. If I studied hard enough, I’d get the grade. If I followed the rules, I’d stay safe. But standing in the middle of my dorm room, surrounded by half-packed boxes, I realize that Kai broke every single one of those formulas. He didn’t just enter my life; he rearranged the furniture of my soul.I reached for a stack of old textbooks on my desk, the ones from our first semester. A thin, yellowed envelope slipped from the pages of my chemistry manual. My heart did a weird little skip. I knew that handwriting. It was messy, bold, and leaned slightly to the right—just like the guy who wrote it.It was the letter Kai had tried to give me months ago, during that week we weren't speaking. I thought I’d lost it during the move between dorms. My fingers trembled as I slid the paper out.Ava, the letter began. I’m not good at talking thing. You know that. But if you’re reading this, it means I’ve realized that being the "bad boy" i

  • Falling for the Bad Boy Athlete   Chapter 186 Dangerous Game On Again 

    KaiThe gym smelled like sweat, expensive floor wax, and the kind of victory that usually makes a man feel like a god. The championship trophy sat on a pedestal under the bright rafters. People were screaming my name. My teammates were jumping around like idiots, drenching each other in Gatorade. This was the moment I’d spent three years chasing. It was the "Game On" I’d lived for.So, why did I feel like I was looking for something else?I scanned the sea of faces in the bleachers. I didn't care about the scouts or the boosters. I was looking for a girl who usually tried to blend into the back row with a textbook in her lap.There she was. Ava.She stood near the exit, looking like she was ready to bolt. She always did that. She’d show up for me, but she never wanted the spotlight. She looked beautiful and completely out of place in her Crestwood hoodie. My heart did that stupid double-thump it only does for her. It was better than any buzzer-beater."Kai! Get over here for the photo

  • Falling for the Bad Boy Athlete   Chapter 185 Rival Provocation Returns 

    RivalThe roar of the crowd in the Crestwood arena feels like a physical weight against my chest. It’s a deafening, rhythmic pulse that makes my teeth ache. Everyone is on their feet. The championship trophy catches the light, mocking me with its polished surface. I stand at the edge of the court, tucked into the shadow of the bleachers where the cameras won't find my scowl.I’m supposed to be part of this. I’m supposed to be the one holding that gold. Instead, I’m a ghost at my own funeral.Across the hardwood, Kai is being hoisted onto his teammates' shoulders. He looks like a god. Sweat streaks his face, and his jersey is torn at the shoulder, but he’s wearing that arrogant, crooked grin. It’s the look of a man who has everything. He didn't just win the game. He won the school. He won his future back from the brink.Why do the reckless ones always land on their feet?Then I see her. Ava is pushing through the throng of screaming students. She looks small in that sea of chaos, but s
