Ava

The air in the university ballroom felt thick, smelling of expensive perfume and the suffocating weight of my parents' expectations. I looked at my mother, whose smile didn't reach her eyes. She was busy talking to a dean about my "future internship" as if I weren't standing right there.

"You look beautiful, Ava," my father said, though he spent more time checking his watch than looking at me. "This is a big night. Don't let that athlete's distraction ruin it."

By distraction, he meant Kai.

  • Falling for the Bad Boy Athlete   Chapter 200 Happy Ending on the Field

    AvaThe afternoon sun beat down on the central athletic field of Crestwood University, turning the freshly cut grass into a brilliant sheet of gold. I stood near the edge of the bleachers, adjusting the heavy silk tassel of my graduation cap. My black academic gown caught the warm breeze, billowing slightly around my ankles.If someone had told me during my first week on campus that I would be standing here today, graduating at the top of my class while holding hands with the school’s most notorious star athlete, I would have told them to recheck their data. Back then, my life was a rigid grid of study hours, part-time shifts, and a constant, suffocating fear of losing my funding. I came to this university looking for security. I never expected to find a beautiful kind of chaos instead."Hey, focus, scholarship girl," a deep, familiar voice teased.I turned my head to see Kai stepping up beside me. He had his own graduation gown draped casually over one shoulder, completely ignoring t

  • Falling for the Bad Boy Athlete   Chapter 199 Rival Escalation Returns 

    MillerThe floorboards under my sneakers are immaculate, polished to a mirror shine that reflects the harsh overhead arena lights. This gym used to feel like my kingdom. It was the area where I spent hours engineering the perfect athletic profile, tracking every metric, and waiting for the crown to inevitably fall into my hands. I believed in a clean hierarchy. I followed the plays, respected the boosters, and expected the universe to deliver the captaincy based on sheer strategic positioning. Instead, the universe chose Kai Jameson.I drop the basketball I am holding. It bounces away, the echoes hollow and rhythmic against the empty bleachers. Practice ended an hour ago, but I remained behind, trapped in the quiet space of my own defeat. My phone buzzes in my mesh gym shorts. I don't look at it. It is probably another email from the athletic director regarding my disciplinary probation, or perhaps a message from one of the few remaining fraternity guys trying to see if I am attending

  • Falling for the Bad Boy Athlete   Chapter 198 Hidden Vulnerability Shows Again

    KaiMy hands wouldn't stop shaking.I stared at the leather-wrapped steering wheel of my car, parked in the darkest corner of the campus lot. The engine ticked as it cooled down. For three years, I owned this campus. I was Kai, the star shooting guard who didn't give a damn about rules, scandals, or the future.Now? The whole structure was crashing down around my ears.Chloe’s leaked rumors about Ava’s tutoring records and my hidden knee injury were spreading like wildfire. The athletic board was already calling emergency meetings. My sports agency deal was hanging by a single, frayed thread. Worse, Ava’s scholarship was on the line. The one person who actually taught me how to be human was taking the fall for my mess.The passenger door opened. A cool breeze swept into the cabin, followed by the faint scent of vanilla and old library books. Ava.She slipped into the seat and closed the door softly. She didn't say anything. She just looked at me with those wide, intelligent eyes that

    AvaThe library smelled like old paper and panic. My panic, mostly. Every time a student walked past my desk, they stared. Some whispered behind their hands. Others just flashed nasty, knowing grins. Chloe’s leaked rumors were spreading faster than wildfire across the Crestwood campus. The fake evidence connected my tutoring records to Kai’s injury cover-up. It looked bad. It looked like I traded academic integrity to keep the star basketball player on the court.My scholarship was a ticking time bomb. One word from the dean and my future would vanish. I stared at my laptop screen, but the words blurred. My chest felt tight. How did everything get so messy so fast? We were supposed to be past the drama.A shadow fell over my desk. I braced myself for another judging look from a stranger."We need to talk. Now."Kai.His voice was a low growl that shook me down to my boots. I looked up and my breath caught in my throat. He looked rough around the edges. His dark hair was messy, his jaw

  • Falling for the Bad Boy Athlete   Chapter 196 Campus Gossip Spreads Again 

    Chloe (The Rival)I refresh the Crestwood Confessions page for the twentieth time in five minutes. Finally, the engagement numbers spike into the thousands. The comment section is an absolute dumpster fire, and honestly, I deserve a medal for this masterpiece.The anonymous post is beautiful in its simplicity. Just a blurry photo of Kai entering the dean’s office, paired with a meticulously detailed timeline of Ava’s suspiciously perfect tutoring records. The headline? Scholarship Fraud or Locker Room Favoritism? Crestwood’s Golden Boy and the Golden Girl’s Dirty Secret."Look at them scramble," I mutter, leaning back against the cold brick wall of the campus courtyard.From my perfect vantage point near the student union, I can see the entire quad. It is the peak morning rush. Hundreds of students are moving between classes, but nobody is actually looking at their textbooks. Every single head is bowed over a glowing smartphone screen. The soft, collective murmur of whispering voices

  • Falling for the Bad Boy Athlete   Chapter 195 Dangerous Dare Again

    KaiThe pounding on the heavy dorm door sounds like gunfire in the quiet room.Ava freezes against my chest. Her breath hitches, and I feel the exact second her heart kicks into overdrive. We just bared our souls to each other. We promised to fight through the leaked records and the scholarship mess together. But peace never lasts long in my world."Stay here," I whisper.I press a soft kiss to her forehead. She grips my forearms, her knuckles white. I pull away anyway. My chest feels tight as I walk across the small room.I twist the lock and yank the door open, ready to tear into whoever is ruining our midnight sanity.It isn't campus security. It isn't a dean.Marcus stands in the hallway, a greasy smirk plastered across his face. He’s wearing his varsity jacket like a shield, tossing a set of heavy car keys in the air. Click. Catch. Click. Catch. The sound grates on my nerves. Behind him, the hallway lights flicker, casting long, ugly shadows on the concrete wall."Miss me, Miller
