When Katherine “Kate” leaves for her freshmen
year at college, a grounded and stable piece of her is missing. She
pushes away the ghosts of her past, determined to start her college life
single, carefree and distracted.
Throughout high school Kate was reserved and shy,
with little experience. Now, on her own, with little holding her back,
Kate is ready to branch out. She bonds with a tight knit group of friends
and even starts casually dating. What starts out as innocent flirting on
the tennis courts slowly turns into a friendship and eventually something more
complex. Reed comes into her life giving her the distraction she craves
more than anything; but is she ready to give her heart away so easily?
Things get complicated when Kate’s ex-boyfriend
and first love continues to pursue her. Kyle deeply regrets breaking her
heart when he left for college the year before and is now on a mission to
reclaim her. Kyle’s persistence and relentlessness is nothing short of
obsessive. He will stop at nothing to win her back and prove his love.
Kate finds herself torn between her past and the
unknown of the future. Her determination to stay distracted may just be
her downfall or the beginning of something new and wonderful.

I
don’t even care that there are now three different girls talking to Reed. I sneak up behind him and tap him on the
shoulder. He turns around and the look
of shock and surprise on his face causes me to start giggling. He turns completely around with his back to
the other three girls and gives me a smile that touches his blue eyes. His squared jaw highlights his smile
perfectly. In this instant of a moment I
decide I want to kiss Reed even if it’s just for fun and to forget.
“You’re
kidding me. Wow! I can’t believe you came here.”
“I
told you we would. You didn’t think I
would do it, did you?”
“Honestly,
no, but I was hoping. I never see you
out on the weekends anymore, so this is a great surprise.”
We
stand there for a minute and then he orders me a beer. I take it, but nurse it. I’ve had a bit much already and don’t want
the spins. He asks me and Quinn to play
a game of pool with him and Matt. Matt
wants to play girls against guys, but Reed says no way that he wants me on his
team. I warn him that I am not that
good, but alcohol may help my case.
We
play the game and I actually do pretty well.
Reed touches me every chance he gets and is very flirty. It’s my turn and I have to bend over to make
a shot, but to be honest I forget that I have a dress on.
“Shit,
Katherine,” he lets out in a bit of gruff tone and walks up behind me to cover
me.
I
laugh at him. “Oops, I forgot about my
dress.”
“You
look good enough as it is and now with a dress on. Jesus, I don’t need to get in a fight.” He is still pressed behind me as I continue
to make my shot. I miss completely
because to be honest I’m completely distracted.
“I
doubt anyone noticed, but thanks for protecting me.” He steps back and I turn around. I decide to be bold and kiss his cheek.
“Trust
me, you were noticed.” He moves a piece
of hair from my face and the touch sends a chill through me. “God, you are so beautiful.”
