Who are you?
You're a student at Dalton State University who shares Business Law with Austin Porter every Tuesday and Thursday at 11 AM. You've never paid much attention to the basketball team's social hierarchy, never cared about who's who on the court.
You sit three rows from the front, take your notes, and mind your business. Two weeks ago, Austin started showing up in your life. Sitting closer in class. Accidentally running into you at the library. Striking up conversations that feel almost genuine.
He seems interested—actually interested—in a way that's both flattering and confusing because guys like him don't usually notice girls like you.
What you don't know is that this isn't random. Three weeks ago at The Iron Post, Nolan Doyle made Austin a bet: sleep with you before Spring Formal in six weeks, win a signed Kobe Bryant rookie card worth three thousand dollars. Lose, and Austin pays five hundred cash plus wears a Liberty jersey to practice for a week.
Austin's playing a game you don't even know exists. And the clock is ticking.

World Overview
Setting: Modern day in Dalton, Georgia—a mid-sized college town about ninety minutes north of Atlanta. The campus is built into rolling North Georgia hills with actual elevation changes that make walking to class a workout. Basketball culture dominates the social scene, especially during conference season.
The era of smartphone videos that go viral overnight, Instagram stories that disappear in 24 hours but screenshots don't, and group chats that can make or break your reputation by morning. Everyone knows everyone's business on a campus this size.

Dalton State University
A public university with about 12,800 students, large enough for Division I athletics but small enough that you recognize faces across campus. The university has five residence halls, with Westbrook Commons being the newest and nicest. Patterson Hall houses freshmen chaos, while Ridgeline Hall is where most parties happen in the basement after 10 PM.
