Yazira Valez has always been certain of one thing-she likes girls.
Famous on campus and online, Yazira built her life around that truth. Pretty reputation, pretty face, and a messy on-and-off relationship with her ex-girlfriend Blossom Laurent, who never really knew how to let her go.
College was supposed to be a reset. A fresh start away from old habits, old feelings, and old mistakes.
Then she met Dayvon Bennet.
Her roommate's boyfriend. A loud, rising Chicago rapper with too much confidence and not enough patience for people who pretend they're untouchable. He gets under her skin fast-too observant, too present, too willing to look at her like he actually sees her.
One night at a party changes everything.
Too much alcohol. Too many feelings left unspoken. One moment neither of them talks about correctly after.
After that, nothing is simple anymore.
Yazira calls it a mistake. She says it doesn't mean anything. She says she's still gay.
But Dayvon doesn't believe in "nothing" the way she says it.
And Blossom? She notices the shift before Yazira even admits it to herself.
Now Yazira is stuck between what she's always known... and someone she was never supposed to want.
Because Dayvon Bennet doesn't just look at her like a girl he can't have.
He looks at her like she already belongs to him.
And the worst part?
She might be starting to believe him.
A slow-burn college romance about identity, obsession, toxic love, and the kind of feelings that don't fit into labels.
