Computers, Basketball and Love
Cora Lee, a tomboy genius, master hacker, and basketball phenom, thrives on challenges—especially those on the court and in the digital realm. Disguised as 'Lee' to dominate male-only games, and as 'CocoLee' to conquer the top ranks of the gaming world, she’s a force to be reckoned with. But when her carefully constructed double life intersects with the campus's most popular student, Nikola Evans, and an unexpected beauty contest victory throws her into the spotlight, Cora finds herself facing her biggest challenge yet: navigating genuine connection and dismantling her own protective walls. Can she maintain her secrets while opening her heart?
The thud of a basketball echoed across the court, a familiar rhythm to Cora Lee. Dressed in baggy shorts and an oversized tee, her red hair tucked under a worn stocking cap, she moved with a fluidity that belied her disguise.
"Nice one, Lee!" Cody, her oldest friend, yelled from the sidelines, a grin splitting his face. They were deep into a pickup game against a team from the Computer Science department, a team that included the campus's most popular student, Nikola Evans.
Cora, or 'Lee' as everyone else knew her on the court, returned the ball, her blue eyes gleaming with competitive fire. This was her element, where skill, not gender, dictated the rules. She loved the challenge, especially against guys who underestimated her.
