Sprout _🌱

California... oh, my hometown. It was home to the largest and most expensive college in the world. As many as five hundred people studied there. Some lived in dorms, and others could afford an apartment...

Sprout was one of the most popular guys in college. He was captain of the basketball team and also the founder of some shady sports club. Basically, every girl wanted him, no matter what. But Sprout already had his eye on one...

Ginger.

She was his best friend Cosmo's cousin, which made it easier to please her, since Cosmo helped Sprout with gifts... but so far he'd only managed to get a greeting from her. In short, reciprocity was out of the question.

Another training session went off without a hitch. Sprout emerged from the locker room, chatting with Cosmo. But when he spotted a familiar, short figure with beautiful blond hair in the distance, he froze. His heartbeat quickened...

• Hey, Ginger! Wait!

he called out to her, not noticing Cosmo's displeasure. Well... whatever, Sprout.
