The Bad Boy Falls in Love

"May I ask your name?" His deep voice echoes softly in her ears, as he intently gazed at her. She stuttered, "U-Um, H-Halsey S-Scott." "Is that girl watching us?" He tilted his head, gesturing towards his ex-partner who glared daggers in their direction. "Y-Yes..." "Good to know," he replied nonchalantly. Without further ado, he pressed his lips against hers, a kiss that seemed to seal their fates. A single touch from the infamous troublemaker left her world turned upside down. Ever since her parents' passing, Halsey Scott preferred a simple life, shy and content around her best friend, Lincoln Wright, the star basketball player. Yet, when their paths crossed, everything changed. Nathan Jacobs had no faith in love; his focus was on maintaining his popularity and bringing down his archrival, Lincoln. With a burning hatred for the latter, he plotted to break Halsey's heart to weaken Lincoln. Caught between her loyalty to Lincoln and the undeniable pull towards the rogue, Halsey found herself in a perilous situation. As Nathan's scheme unraveled, would he succeed in shattering her heart, or would the notorious bad boy discover true affection along the way?
