New beginnings, a new location, and a new college. Emily is eager to begin her new life. Her haunting past has no place in her current existence. With her new identity, she has become a new person. She didn't want that kind of attention. She wishes to blend in with the throng. But when the college football rockstar starts taking interest in her, all of a sudden she is everywhere. She becomes part of his friend's group. Their chemistry is off the chart. Can Emily's new life completely transform her?
New life, new college, new person. I left everyone behind. This is new to me. New Emily. I am a new person. I left my town, my friends. I don't think they care about me much. Nobody stands for me. My parents did all they could. They fought for me. I needed to leave everything behind. I can move that way towards the future.
So here I am. New town. A small town. Very similar, yet different from my town. I was born in a small town. Our house is two-storeyed. I'm the only daughter of my parents. My dad is a local painter and mom owns a flower shop. I used to work in that shop. When the evening got busy during the holidays. After school, I used to go there to help mom. My mom loves flowers. My dad also works in the shop. My dad is a painter. He works for a local studio that gives dad orders, and dad paints those things. In the basement of our house, there is dad's studio. He works there. We are not rich and famous in our town. Everyone knows our flower shop and dad's paintings. My parents were well-respected. But after the incident, things changed. We couldn't even take a breath. They all blame us. Me, my parents. It's not our fault.
Today is my first day at college. I have always wanted to go to college. In my town, that was kind of impossible. So my parents sent me here. Away from home, the town, and all those judgemental people. I'm moving into 2-bedroom apartments near my school. It takes 30 minutes to school if you walk and 15 in the car. I don't have a car yet. I will be using the bus.
I wake up early today. On the first day at school, I want everything perfect today. I wear a white tee, high-rise jeans, and sneakers. I brush my long hair and pulled my hair into a messy ponytail, pull down some hair in the front. Apply eyeliner and mascara and my favorite nude lipstick. I take my tote bag to put my books, phone, keys. I wear my glasses, and I am ready to go.
I enter the classroom in my first class 10 minutes before the class starts. I take my seat in the middle row and settle down. A boy comes and seats beside me. I look at him and give him a small smile. He looks at me and returns the smile.
"hey."
"Hey," I reply
"I'm Edward" He holds his hand towards me. I take his hand and smile at him.
"Emily"
"New in town."
"Yeah."
"I have lived here all my life."
The professor enters the class, and we stop talking. I am very serious about my studies. I am the kind of person who takes notes on every single thing. As the professor starts talking, I give all my attention to the class. After this class, I have an hour's break time. I do not know what I will do at that time. I am thinking about the library.
"Hey, the next class doesn't start in an hour. What are you doing?" He asks me.
"I don't know."
"Come with me. I am going to the cafeteria. My friends are also there. You can meet new people."
"I don't think it's a good idea."
"it's the best idea. You can totally join us."
"I don't know."
"Come on. Let's go." He grabs my hands and takes me with him.
The cafeteria is in a different building. It is filled with people. The buffet is on the side of the hall. That's free for students. They filled another side of the room with chairs and tables.
"Hey"
Edward calls someone and sits in the chair beside the girl. I just stand near the table.
"Sam, this is my classmate, Emily, and Emily. This is my high school friend Sam."
"Hello." I greet her.
"Hi" she offers me a big smile.
Sam is beautiful. Her shoulder-length red hair, hazel eyes, tan skin. She looks like Victoria's Secret model.
"Come to sit with us." She looks like a good person as well.
"Thank you."
"New in town."
"Yeah."
"Don't worry. Now you have us. We are friends from now on." She holds her for a handshake. I accept her hand. She is friendly as well.
"Thank you."
All of a sudden, an enormous group of boys enters the cafeteria. All boys. Their average height will be 6 feet. All of them look like a hero. It feels like a red carpet and stars are stepping in the room.
"Who are they?" I ask Sam.
"The star of the school. The football players."
"Oh."
"They won a match yesterday." I didn't even know my school has a football that is this big.
A boy comes to the table and gives a high five to Edward and a kiss to Sam. He is a football player. Sam returns him the kiss. They are in a relationship.
"I missed you." The boy tells Sam.
"Me too." Sam smiles at him.
"Babe, this is Emily Ed's classmate, and Emily, this is Jacob, my boyfriend."
"Hi." Jacob is a tall, black hair, pale skin boy.
"Hi"
Then his all attention goes to Sam.
"They are dating from high school," Ed. Informs me.
"A most popular couple of the campus." They look so much in love.
"Hey lovebirds," someone calls them from behind.
I turn my head, and my eyes meet with blue eyes. He is tall, 6'1 or 2", has brown hair, tan skin, and muscles. This boy is just beautiful.
"Stop doing this kissing thing."
"Someone is jealous," Sam tells him with a smirk.
"You wish. I have my options." He replies to her.
"Meeting in the locker room in an hour."
"Yes, captain."
So he is the captain of the team. Okay. Girls must throw themselves towards him. I don't blame them at all.
"Who is he?" I ask Ed.
"Justin Williams. Captain of our football team."

"You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin. My mind screamed at me to push him away-the Lycan Prince who had humiliated me again and again, but my body betrayed me, leaning into him before I could stop myself. He pressed his lips against mine, and his kiss grew more aggressive, more possessive as I felt my legs weaken. What was I doing? In a split-second, I pulled away and slapped him hard across the face. Kylan's eyes darkened, but the smirk on his lips exposed his amusement. "You and I both know we can't fight this, Violet," he said, gripping my wrist. "You're my mate." "And yet you don't want me," I replied. "You told me you were ashamed of me, that l'd never be your queen, that you'd never love me. So please, accept my rejection and let me go." "Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."
