The uncrowned king of Barnett University. He's like a freaking celebrity around here. It's totally ridiculous. People, by which I mean grown women, actually stalk him on the internet. And around campus. Apparently, he's god's gift to both football and the ladies (I'm using that term loosely). All he has to do is smile and girls fall right onto their backs before spreading their legs wide. I've heard that he's already plowed his way through half the female population at Barnett. My guess is that he'll work his way through the second half before he gets drafted to the NFL later this year.

Yeah...I don't plan to be one of them. The guy is nothing more than a conceited player. You know the type—a steroid infused meathead coasting through college on his football prowess.
Ugh.
I have three words for you—avoid, avoid, avoid.
Need I say more?
I don't think so.

King of Campus

His gaze flicks away for a moment before arrowing back to mine.  "The three of us were happy.  We had a good life.  It was devastating when your mom was diagnosed with breast cancer.  But I thought, okay-we're going to beat this.  She's a fighter."


I hate thinking about that particular time.  How hard the chemo was on her.  How sick my mom would get.  The failed treatment plans.  Always living for the next set of test results.  Always worried about what tomorrow would bring.  Then sitting by helplessly as she slowly deteriorated.  Becoming weaker.  Frail.  Until she was a pale shadow of the vibrant, outgoing woman she'd once been.


He slides a hand roughly through his peppered hair as his eyes take on a glassy, faraway look.  "It was difficult to watch.  Hard to realize, and then accept, that the treatments weren't working, and we were losing the battle."
