The cold morning breeze brushed against the small town of Ravenhills,a quite place surrounded by green hills and dirt roads.For years, it had been home to Alyra Niven's,a simple girl with messy ponytail, second hand clothes and a heart full of dreams.
Life had never been kind to Alyra.Her parents had died in a tragic car accident when she was ten , leaving her the care of her aunt Lila , a woman who worked two jobs just to put food on the table.Despite everything, Alyra grew up humble, brave and determined to make her aunt proud.
With the acceptance letter from Veloria university,the most prestigious school in Crestmont city , arrived, Aunt Lila cried tears of joy.
"You're" meant for greater things,my child,"she said softly."Don't ever forget where you came from
Crestmont city was the capital of Edenvale country,known for its luxury cars , shinning skyscrapers and people who lived like royalty.It was a world far different from Ravenhills dusty streets and Alyra was about to step right into it.
The first day at Veloria university was chaos . Students in designer outfits dragged expensive luggage across the dorm halls . Alyra,in her oversized hoodie, baggy jeans and short hair tucked under a cap, didn't exactly fit in.
When she handed her dorm papers to the warden,the woman squinted.
"Nivens, Alyra"?
Yes,ma am, Alyra replied.
"Room 304 boys dormatry,go straight down the hall ".
Alyra s eyes widened.
"Wait boys dormatry?".
"That's what's written here .Must be a new gender neutral policy,"the warden muttered, waving her off.
Before Alyra could protest she found herself standing in front of room 304.Music thumped faintly inside.She took a deep breath and knocked.
The door swung open up and there he was.
Tall , striking and effortlessly confident, Ethan Cross stood before her .He had cold blue eyes,a perfectly fitted black shirt, and the kind of face that made girls lose their breath.Behind him , laughter filled the room his two best friends, Ryan and Leo lounge on leather chairs clearly amused.
Ethan's brow furrowed
"Who the hell are you?"
Alyra swallowed hard."
I.. I'm your new roommate".
Ryan choked on his drink.
Roommate?Dude ,they put a boy in your room!".
Ethan's eyes narrowed as he scanned her from head to toe.She definitely looked like a boy, small frame, plain clothes, no makeup.still... something about her eyes made him pause.
"Fine ,he said finally, his voice low and dangerous."But stay out of my way."
Alyra nodded quickly, clutching her bag.
"Deal".
What she didn't know was that she had just moved in with Ethan Cross heir to Enterprise One of the richest families in Edenvale.
And what Ethan didn't know...was that his quiet, awkward "male" roommate would soon turn his entire world upside down.
