Collision Course

Collision Course

chapter -01 The worst assignment ever

Emma carter is introduced as a dedicated literature student who views football as a waste of time she's focused on academics and a future in academia.

Jaxon Hayes is introduced as the star quarterback with an easy smile, effortless charm, and a reputation for never taking anything seriously except football.their first meeting is a disaster as Jaxon arrives late, makes a joke about how "nerds love this kind of things "and Emma immediately despises him.

Emma Carter tapped her pen against the worn wooden desk, fighting the growing headache behind her temples. The campus library buzzed with the quiet hum of students cramming for midterms, but all she could focus on was the email glaring back at her from her professor.

>( Emma, as the top tutor in the academic support program, I’m assigning you a priority case. Jaxon Hayes needs immediate intervention to maintain eligibility for the season. Sessions start tomorrow. No exceptions.)

Her stomach twisted. Jaxon Hayes. The Jaxon Hayes. Star quarterback. Campus heartthrob. The walking, talking definition of everything she couldn’t stand—arrogant, reckless, and ridiculously good-looking. She had spent three years at this university avoiding guys like him.

A heavy sigh escaped her lips. This was supposed to be her year to focus, ace her classes, and line up the perfect internship. Babysitting a football player with a GPA lower than room temperature was not part of the plan.

Still, she wasn’t about to argue with Professor Grant. He had written her a glowing recommendation for graduate school, and if he trusted her to handle this, she couldn’t afford to refuse.

One semester. A few tutoring sessions. She could survive this.

Right?

 

The next afternoon, Emma arrived at the designated study room, mentally preparing herself for the worst. The small library space was tucked away from the main floor, quiet and isolated—perfect for studying. Or, in Jaxon’s case, perfect for napping while she did all the work.

She was halfway through setting up her notes when the door swung open.

And in walked trouble in a six-foot-four frame of pure muscle and ego.

Jaxon Hayes was even more annoyingly attractive in person. Dark hair, just messy enough to look effortlessly cool. Golden skin, like he spent every second outside. Broad shoulders, the kind that made girls swoon. His navy hoodie stretched across his chest, the team logo emblazoned over his heart.

He took one look at her and smirked. Smirked.

“Carter, right?” His voice was smooth, laced with amusement, like this was all some big joke.

Emma folded her arms. “Hayes.”

He dropped into the chair across from her, stretching out like he had all the time in the world. “So, how does this work? You write my essays, and I sign autographs in return?”

She narrowed her eyes. “That depends. Can I trade your signature for extra IQ points?”

Jaxon’s smirk widened. “Damn. You really don’t like me, do you?”

“I don’t even know you.” She leaned forward, locking eyes with him. “But I do know your type.”

He chuckled, resting his chin on his hand. “And what type is that?”

Jaxon doesn't take the tutoring seriously winking at her and making flirtatious jokes just to get under her skin. Emma's sharp tongued and unimpressed by his charm, snapping back with sarcasm

Their banter gets heated and Emma storms out swearing she won't waste her time on him

sparks fly ,but it's more fire than warmth

“The kind that coasts through life on talent and charm, expecting everyone else to do the work.”

Jaxon studied her, something flickering in his gaze—something almost intrigued.

“Guess we’ll see about that, won’t we?” he murmured.

Emma had a sinking feeling this semester was going to be a disaster.

And worse? She wasn’t sure she’d make it out unscathed.
