“You've got to be kidding me...”
Rolling his eyes he scoffed “just say yes. I know you need the money.”
He wasn't wrong there, but I had a feeling I was going to regret this.

Deidra wanted to have a normal college experience just like everyone else, but the last thing she had anticipated was her fourth grade bully to come running back into her life asking her for help. Inheritance clauses, last-minute wills, and a free ticket for her undergrad years to be paid in full?
What more was there to say, except that Wes wasn’t someone easy to work with.
He was more likely going to be more trouble than the money is worth.

It Had to Be You

I shot up to the snickers of my classmates, the last of the dream fading away with the hopeful look in Wes’ eyes. Shit, I must have fallen asleep in the lab. I hadn’t gotten to bed until maybe four in the morning just to turn over and have class at 7:30 a.m. for some God-forsaken reason. After the chewing out I’d received at Eva’s hand last night, I’d walked back to CC’s hall, tail between my legs.


I was glad that CC was sober enough to open the door, and that CB hadn’t crashed at hers for the night like he said he would. I’m not sure if I would have been able to handle his unique brand of well-mannered hippy persona and calming vibes and stop myself from crying.


Also, I had stayed the night for fear of seeing Wes and Eva’s “makeup”. If Eva found out for even a moment that I found Wes attractive or that he’d proposed to me first… Ugh, she’d be even more of a bitch.
