A star quarterback treats his relationship like a joke, never expecting the girl he keeps stringing along to finally walk away. When she does, he's forced to chase the love he carelessly threw away and prove he can be the man she deserved all along.
i opened my laptop and logged into the student portal i looked up the inter-campus transfer process there was a top public university up in northern california my aunt worked there as an academic advisor in the physics department she'd asked me the year before if i wanted to transfer i have a very strong stem program and i've won state championships with my robotics
i'd said no back then i didn't want to leave home i didn't want to leave tristan looking back now It was almost funny. The person I'd refused to leave hadn't hesitated to hurt me. My phone It was a video call from Tristan. I declined right away. He called again. I declined again. After a dozen repeats, he sent texts, arrogant and used to getting his way.
Fine, I'm sorry. I got you your favorite frozen yogurt. Want me to bring it over? I didn't reply. A cup of frozen yogurt was supposed to fix everything? He kept texting. Joan Miller, don't be ridiculous. It was just a prank. You really gonna hold a grudge this long? Joan, don't make me regret this.
I let out a cold laugh. When apologies didn't work, he switched to threats. That was Tristan. Always self-centered.
Always thought the world revolved around him. I blocked him. Finally, everything was quiet. The next morning, I told Mom I was going to visit my aunt.
Actually, I was going to the university registrar's office. I could handle the transfer paperwork myself.
