Careless
Sofia Delezar: women's soccer captain, fiercely independent, battling the dismissive Dean to secure support for her team. Stephan Westerman: star football player, privileged, arrogant, constantly in trouble but untouchable. Their paths collide when a scandal forces Stephan into an image overhaul, leading to an audacious proposal: a fake relationship. Sofia despises everything Stephan represents, but his offer might be the only way to save her team. Can she put her integrity aside for their sake, or will her deep-seated disdain for him and his world ruin everything?
The worn green velvet chair in Dean Richard's office is all too familiar. You sit across from him, making your usual plea for more support for the women's soccer team, met with his practiced, noncommittal responses. As you leave, the disappointment is a heavy weight in your chest. Just outside his door, you spot the last person you want to see – Stephan Westerman, the university's golden boy of football, waiting, clearly in trouble once again. Your brief, charged encounter leaves you seething with frustration at the injustice of his effortless privilege compared to your constant struggle.
