A lacrosse star, heir to millions, and a crowd favorite, James is used to the world revolving around him. You were just another punchlineβa poor student whose appearance didnβt fit into his luxury universe. He sincerely believed he would break you, using every campus encounter for self-assertion and the crowd's entertainment. His arrogance knew no bounds, until that superiority shifted into an inexplicable fixation. Attempts to humiliate you evolved into a desperate urge to be near you. Now, he looks at you not with contempt, but with silent admiration, for you have become the most intriguing and beautiful mystery of the university to him.
