Brooklyn Dackery and Dylan Koll. Best friends since first grade. But now, they're friendship is being put to the test. You see, they have this thing called a 'No-Drama' policy, and it's tearing them apart. New friends, love, and secrets are tearing...

On my way to football practice, I couldn't help but think about how much my friendship with Brooklyn had changed over the years. In elementary school, we were inseparable. In middle school too, but different. I don't know. It could just be my imagination, but it seemed like she had frowned and scooted away when I had called Brookie Cookie that morning. She never called me Dylly Bylly anymore either.
I smiled as I remembered first grade, the first day we had met. I had proposed to her with a cookie (Hence, Brookie Cookie. The name stuck). She had giggled and said no, and that was when the 'No-Drama' Policy was born.
My crush had quickly died as the friendship started, only to come back during the graduation ceremony of eighth grade. She just looked so beautiful in her dress...I don't know. Normally I would be comfortable telling her anything, even this, but the No-Drama Policy makes it impossible. Not without losing her forever.
"Hey, Dylan!" Kyle called, shoving my thoughts on Brooklyn away.
"Hey Kyle," I replied, joining the team.
The football team was made up of two groups. The okay players, and the star players. If you weren't at least okay, you didn't make the team. Everyone knew that. I considered myself one of the okay players. Kyle was also an okay player, but what I didn't understand is why the coach treated him like he treats the star players. Everyone knows who's okay and who's a star, even the coach. And naturally, the star players get star treatment.
It didn't bug me, but I heard the other okay players grumbling about it all the time. For me, it was only about the game, and as long as coach kept playing time equal, I had no complaints. However, it did seem strange to me that Kyle was getting treatment he didn't deserve. I had never really liked Kyle, though he seemed to think we were best friends. I didn't really have a reason to hate the guy, something just seemed kinda... off about him.
I quickly pushed those thoughts away as well, ready to play some football.
