STELLA

I’m not saying kissing the lacrosse captain was a bad idea, but it definitely wasn’t my best. To make things worse, my brother invited my gym buddy-turned-make-out partner to stay at our house over winter break. So now we are stuck together for the next 3 weeks with nothing but the top reason why we can’t be together keeping us company.

CODY

If I can make it through this break without my mentor’s younger sister kicking me in the nuts, I will be overjoyed. That stubborn firecracker has become more of a distraction lately, and after that kiss, I knew I had to pump the breaks. Everything about our friendship borders on the edge of control, and right now, I’m flailing over the edge.

One tiny push and I’ll be done for.

LOU

Keep my head down and get through university. Make a friend or two over the next few semesters. That was the game plan. Easy, simple, and relatively painless. Fast forward to move-in day and that plan gets body slammed across the front lawn in the shape of some hotshot rookie. And now he won’t leave me alone.

WES

I’ve never met anyone I can’t befriend. It’s not a flex, it’s a simple fact. I love people and people love me. At least that’s how it was until I accidentally plowed down a pretty resident the other day. She isn’t my biggest fan right now but I’ve got a plan to wear her down. Based

Nico

Did I offer to service our new assistant coach at the lacrosse banquet last year? You bet your ass I did. Maurice O'Brien is arrogant, disciplined, sinfully handsome, and I would happily sell my soul for one night of fun. The fact he hates my guts is a minor inconvenience compared to the other obstacle I'm up against.

He's as hetero as they come.

Mo

If the team goalie hits on me one more time, somebody is going to get hurt. Nico Montez is cocky, infuriating, unprofessional, and I would gladly kick him off the team if he wasn't our best goalie. Nico has a knack for getting under my skin and if he keeps this up, it won't just be the team he destroys.

It'll be my self-control.

Lacey

All I wanted was a friend. That's why I responded to the note another therapy patient left behind. To find someone who knows what it's like to have scars no one else can see. To have secrets no one wants to hear.

I was looking for a friend. I didn't know he was the rival.

Skylar

I fell in love with someone I've never met. A faceless pen pal, I wouldn't be able to pick this girl out of a crowd and yet she owns every piece of my battered heart. She's the colour to my darkness and I didn't know what would happen if we ever met in person.

I didn't know how my life would change once we did.
