Y/N Hayes has always been the person everyone underestimates. To Briar University, she’s just Allie Hayes’ older sister—the “busy” Elementary Education major who transferred months ago and spends her time helping at an elementary school. Nobody thinks much of her. Nobody knows who she really is. Because behind the “future teacher” everyone assumes is— boring… is actually the sorority president responsible for Briar’s BIGGEST parties, fundraisers, and campus events. Y/N doesn’t chase attention. She doesn’t need to. Dean Di Laurentis, however, does. As Briar’s star hockey player and campus golden boy, Dean is used to being the best at everything. So when his parties start getting outdone by a “mysterious sorority president,” his competitive ego takes a hit. Determined to find his competition, Dean starts showing up to her events, trying to figure out how to beat her. The problem? Y/N Hayes doesn’t even realize they’re competing. While Dean sees a rivalry, Y/N sees a dramatic hockey player who needs to calm down. She treats him like one of her elementary students, using her teacher voice, teasing him, and effortlessly shutting down his ego. What starts as Dean trying to prove he’s better slowly becomes something else. The rivalry turns into curiosity. Curiosity turns into wanting her approval. And the guy who never cared about commitment finds himself following Y/N Hayes around like the one person he can’t impress. Because Dean Di Laurentis has spent his whole life winning. Until Y/N Hayes taught him how to lose.
