Sloane is bright, fiercely athletic, almost 20 yo Sophomore student. On the track, she's a promising runner with Olympic-sized dreams. Off the track, she's perfectly happy being one of the guys, "the funny one"-a sharp contrast to the typical well dress college girl. But last semester, her tomboy façade cracked. A disastrous, unreciprocated confession to her lifelong best friend left a permanent, painful dent in their friendship. She was ready to power through the awkwardness, keep her head down, and focus on her sophomore season, when, her world was shaken. A celebrated international star athlete and new exchange student, steps onto campus and into Sloane's life. He's popular, he's gorgeous, and he sees the vibrant woman under the baggy sweatshirts. He doesn't just challenge Sloane on the field; he forces her to confront her greatest flaw: her deep-seated belief that she's not beautiful. But as he teaches her what "beauty" truly means, a complicated new set of rules emerges, with her scholarship at risk and loosing her mind over calculus. Can Sloane chase her running dreams, navigate a new and intense romance, and survive the rumors, bad grades, and campus chaos that follow? Or will the pressure of becoming someone new lead to the biggest stumble of her life? ♡ This romantic comedy explores the complications of academic and athletic pressure at the high level demanded by universities as well as the modern beauty standards, while also capturing how fun and dramatic campus life can be for young people. ┖┈┈┈┈୨♡୧┈┈┈┈୨♡୧┈┈┈┈୨♡୧┈┈┈┈┚ This book is entirely a work of fiction.

Chapter 1
"I just don't think I'm beautiful," The tone in Sloane's voice was flat and unamusing, sitting on the wooden chair by the dresser, her eyes fixed on the wide mirror framed in white that hung in Laura's cabin room.The summer air was thick and sweet, curling the ends of her hair and clinging to her skin with a lazy warmth. Pine and damp earth drifted through the open window, mingling with the faint echo of laughter outside. It was mid-July in the Northwarn Hills, a pocket of dense green woods about forty minutes from campus. For the past week, the college track team had been stranded there in what the coaches called a "training camp," though it felt more like boot camp disguised as summer fun. Dawn runs through misty trails, drills until their legs tremble, ice baths that make even the loudest ones go dead silent. But now—finally—tonight was better.The coaches had granted them a night off. A rare mercy. One glorious evening without stopwatches or stress. The deal was simple: no al

Chapter 2
Her face carried the kind of pleasant symmetry people might describe as "cute." A youthful look, soft and round around the edges, with deep green eyes that rarely caught light the way others' did, her hair the most common of brown. Despite her small chest, she recognized that her curves were her one asset, long legs and a slender figure, forged by years of intense running training — her muscles were toned and in excellent shape. But they were for most of the time hidden under baggy jeans and t-shirst 3 sizes bigger. God forvide a girl for being into streetwear and hip hop for her fashion style. Nothing else about her stood out. Not in a way that made people stop or stare. She wasn't the mysterious girl in the corner or the stunning one who made heads turn as the walks down in the hallway. She was the one who made people laugh. The one who kept the energy up. The funny, comfortable one. And she liked that part of herself—she really did. But sometimes it hurt that no one ever look

Chapter 3
As soon as she disappeared down the hall, Oliver looked back at Sloane, thumb pointing toward the door. "So... what's her deal again?" Sloane grinned. "She hates you." He laughed, running a hand through his hair. "Yikes." "Wanna know what she calls you?" "Oh, please. Enlighten me." "'Flirty Motherf^cker.'" Oliver's jaw dropped in mock offense. "Excuse me?" Sloane was already grabbing her bag, fighting a laugh. "Come on before they start ordering fries without us." "Flirty Motherf—hey, I heard that!" he called after her as she darted down the hallway, laughter echoing off the wooden walls. 𓂃𓈒⟡・𓂃𓈒⟡・𓂃𓈒⟡・ The drive to the tavern was short but absolutely chaotic—in the best way. Someone had connected their phone to the van's Bluetooth, and within minutes, the entire track team was belting Britney Spears like a traveling choir of unhinged pop stars. By the second chorus of "Oops!... I Did It Again," they were already yelling, laughing, and fully aware that the nig

Chapter 4
Uriah, calm as ever but clearly entertained, lifted his drink. "Sooo... you two know each other?" Julian opened his mouth to answer, but Sloane beat him to it—far too quickly. "We just met last week!" she blurted, too loud, too fast. "Like barely!" The air tightened. Julian looked down at her, one eyebrow arching, that infuriating grin tugging at his lips again—slow, knowing, playful. The kind of smile that said he was enjoying every second of her unraveling. And Sloane, against all logic, felt a flicker of something. From this angle, Sloane noticed something she hadn't before—Julian had blue eyes and snakebite piercings. Two little silver rings glinting on his lower lip. Oh. Okay. That was... unexpectedly distracting. And unfairly hot. "Yeah, we're friends," Julian said, casual as ever. "Maybe!" Sloane cut in, turning toward the others with an awkward laugh. "Maybe?" He looked at her, amused, that stupid half-smile tugging at his lips. "We just met!" "Valid," he

Chapter 5
If awkwardness were an Olympic sport, this table wasn't just winning gold—they were setting a new world record. Julian was the first to crack under the weight of the tension. "Damn, it's suffocating in here," he said loudly enough for everyone at the table to hear. Then, lowering his voice just a touch, he added with that effortlessly smooth tone, "Think I'll get some air." His eyes flicked toward Sloane, catching hers in a way that made her heart skip before he asked, "Wanna come with me?" Every girl at the table practically vibrated in silent shrieks. Sloane could feel their collective blushes merging with her own. She nodded, trying to play it off casual. "Yeah... I could use some air too." "Alright, let's go," Julian said easily, standing up and offering his hand to help her out of the booth. He gave the group a small nod—half polite, half smug—and led the way out. Sloane only managed a quick glance back at her friends. Lynn's mouth hung open, Laura looked seconds away

"I was trying to get your attention! You had your AirPods in, you heathen!" she said, crossing her arms defensively—though the corner of her mouth betrayed her with a twitch. "Oh gosh, let it go!" His grin widened. "You could've, I don't know, tapped me on the shoulder? Used your words?" "I did! Twice! You ignored me!" "I didn't ignore you—I couldn't hear you." "Excuses," she declared, like she'd just won a trial. "Desperate times, desperate measures." Julian ran a hand through his hair, laughing. "I remember turning around and thinking, 'Who the hell throws breakfast food at strangers? What kind of country is this?'" Sloane snorted. "Yeah, and then you glared at me like I'd personally offended your ancestors." "I was startled! You don't expect a bagel to become a projectile weapon at eight a.m. outside the admin office." They both burst out laughing, their voices echoing off the porch beams, breaking the soft rhythm of crickets outside. Julian glanced at her with tha

Chapter 7
By the time they got back to camp, the porch lights were dimmed and the air carried that soft, sleepy hush that came after 2 a.m. The gravel crunched beneath their shoes like the night itself was eavesdropping. Sloane barely had time to kick off her sneakers before Laura and Lynn pounced. "Spill," Laura demanded, hands on her hips, eyes blazing with the kind of energy only fueled by gossip and caffeine. "Start talking, Sloane." "I—what?" Sloane blinked, still halfway through pulling her hoodie over her head. "About what?" She let out a sigh out loud when she was finally free from that torturous bra. "Don't play dumb!" Lynn squeaked, her voice rising an octave in excitement. "Julian! You and Julian! You've been holding out on us!" Sloane groaned, dragging a hand down her face. "Oh my god. There's nothing to hold out about." She wiped her face fiercely, couldn't take off the make up fast enough. "Nothing?" Laura repeated, eyebrows shooting up. "You mean to tell me you've met

Chapter 8
The campus looked deceptively peaceful that morning—like it hadn’t just swallowed a hundred overworked students back into its stone belly after the summer vacations. New Semester, New Me, Sloane though with pretended optimism.Sloane stood outside her dorm, clutching her travel mug like it was the only thing keeping her upright. The sky was a muted gray with the early mist, the kind that promised rain but never quite delivered. Her legs still ached from training camp, her brain still felt like mush, and the only coherent thought she could string together was coffee first, civilization later.The familiar hum of campus life began to rise around her—the sound of skateboards rattling down the path, sneakers squeaking against wet concrete, someone laughing too loud at something stupid.Her phone buzzed. A text from Laura.babyLaura: you alive? Lynn says Uriah saw Julian at the gym already lolSunSloane: You don't say (¬.¬)Sloane snorted into her coffee. Of course he was. The man prob

A minute later, Julian’s tone softened, casual but probing. “So,” he said quietly, eyes still on his notebook, “what’s going on with that King guy?”It took Sloane a moment to process. “What?”“Oliver. That’s his last name, right? King?”Her hand froze mid-note. “Oh…Yeah. Why?”Julian shrugged, pretending to focus on the next equation. “Dunno. Just thought there was something there. Didn’t want to, you know, cause havoc or something. It’s only the start of the semester.”Her brain tripped over itself. “Havoc?” she repeated, keeping her voice low. “You didn't seem to care about that before, at camp.”He smirked, tapping his pencil on the margin. “Maybe. But the way he looked at you, he didn't look very friendly at us.” He glanced sideways at her, voice dropping even quieter. “And I am not a home wrecker.”Sloane felt a vein pop in her forehead, the numbers on the page suddenly blurry. It took all her self control to not give into the embarrassing rage of that memory.. “He is my best fr

Chapter 10
When she finally reached the track, the sun was slowly dipping, spilling that golden late-day light across the field. A few of her sophomore teammates were already stretching on the grass, laughing about something dumb. She dropped her bag beside them and joined in, forcing herself to match their chatter, pretending she wasn’t internally spiraling.A few minutes later, she saw Oliver arrive, jogging across the field with his usual confident stride—followed closely by Julian and Uriah.Great. Just great.Her stomach did a full gymnastics routine as the two of them joined the warm-up circle. Thankfully, she was on the opposite side, but that didn’t make the air feel any less charged. The minute she saw Julian, all those tangled thoughts and feelings from earlier started buzzing again. Luckily he didn't catch her stealing some glances. She needed to get a grip, fast, or her performance was going to crash and burn. So she decided to actively ignore him and concentrate on the practice.C
