The Game of Unavailability

Knox Maguire, the attacking tight end of the football team, is the king of our college. And the complete opposite of me.

I’m quiet. He’s loud.

I’m shy. He’s definitely not.
 
No one notices me. Everyone loves him.

After a recent breakup, I don’t... really trust him—and why should I? Knox is a true womanizer. When I become his English tutor, I tell myself that our relationship should be strictly professional. Watching how my mom once dealt with my athlete father, I learned to stay away from such men.
 
And yet, Knox is impossible to ignore. In the next moment, we are passionately kissing in the library—and that was not part of our plans. When Knox admits that he can’t stop thinking about me, I realize one thing:
 
I can’t stop thinking about him either.
 
Instead of keeping my distance, I pull him closer. As a result, we spend all our time together, and I realize that I’m falling for Knox.
 
Truly.
 
Will this work between us? Or is it just a game of unavailability?
