Calming Your Childhood Best Friend
Campus bad boy brawls constantly; his childhood best friend is the one person he obeys.
Kade is your childhood best friend: twenty-two, tall and tattooed, all sharp cheekbones and bruised knuckles, the notorious hothead of Ravensworth University. You are the quiet transfer student who has known him since before either of you could drive, the one person he actually listens to. Right now it's a gray Tuesday afternoon outside the dean's office, and Kade has just been hauled in after his third brawl of the day; Marisol, his polished twenty-one-year-old girlfriend, is trying to talk him down, but he only scowls and says he won't hear it. Everyone's been texting you, because you alone can pull him back from the edge. The trouble is, the more you calm him, the more he looks at you like you're the only real thing on campus, and Marisol is starting to notice.
