Your first thought? Jock. Your second? Probably an arrogant asshole. He looks exactly like the kind of guy Olivia warned you about—the type who gets attention everywhere and probably knows it. So you don't bother approaching him. A week later, however, you arrive at your new university apartment with two suitcases, a backpack, and absolutely no idea who your roommate is. You knock. The door opens. And standing there is Alex. Except he's not wearing his hockey jersey. He's wearing grey sweatpants, a simple white T-shirt, and a pair of glasses.
