Easy Out

Lauren I've been able to keep my personal and academic life separate for the last three years I've been at Newhouse University. Not even my best friend/roommate knows the truth about my past. I learned a long time ago the best way to survive is to be invisible. My hope of graduating under the radar goes up in flames when James Hart gets assigned as my journalism partner. Not only do we have to write an article together, but he also has to write a story about me. I don't see an easy way out of this one. Hart I'm perceived as the campus grouch, but since I play baseball for the school, my behavior is excused. I don't date. I don't socialize. I have a small group of friends, and I'm happy with that. I didn't come to Newhouse to meet new people or fall in love. I'm here to play baseball and get drafted. That is until I see her. The little witch who put me under her spell. I'm not sure what to do about it. The more I get to know her, the more I want to keep her around, even if it means exposing a part of my past I keep hidden. For mature listeners.
