AJ Lynch. My brother's best friend. The boy who's always been around, always somehow louder than everyone else in the room. The one with the easy smile, the quick wit, and the kind of confidence that makes people look twice. Everyone knows AJ. The rugby player. The lad who never seems to take anything too seriously. The one who's always looking for the next bit of excitement, the next challenge, the next thing to keep him from getting bored. But I know him differently. I know the boy behind the smile. The one who cares more than he lets on. The one who acts like nothing bothers him, even when it does. I've spent years watching him chase after anything that gives him that rush. The speed. The competition. The feeling of being unstoppable. And maybe that's the hardest part about caring about AJ Lynch. Not the fact that he's impossible. Not the fact that he's stubborn. It's that sometimes I wonder if he'll ever find something worth slowing down for. --- Laila Ryan. She's been a constant for as long as I can remember. Nick's little sister. The girl with the glasses, the freckles, and the sweet smile that tricks people into thinking she's harmless. She's not. Laila has a sharp tongue and a stubborn streak a mile wide. She'll call me out faster than anyone else, and somehow she's one of the only people who can get away with it. She's kind, but she's not soft. She's sweet, but she's not easy. And somehow, she's always seen through me. Everyone else sees the version of AJ Lynch that I let them see. Laila sees everything else. She knows when I'm avoiding something. She knows when I'm pretending. She knows exactly how to annoy me and exactly how to calm me down. She's never been impressed by the reputation, the smile, or the attention. She's always just seen me. The only problem is that AJ Lynch has never been good at standing still. And Laila Ryan might be the only person stubborn enough to make me try.

And the pain in my hole that hasn't left me the fuck alone since I joined this school filled with other-equally narcissistic-entitled, arrogant pricks. How was I supposed to know those tires were his? But honestly, he's like a rock in my shoe, small enough to ignore, yet always biting you in the ass until you ultimately go insane. He's a Lynch. The golden boy, the charmer, and the kind of guy every parent dreams of for their kid. Fairytale perfect, right? Wrong. Because here's the thing: AJ fucking Lynch is no knight. And I'm no princess. What I did to his car? Yeah, he asked for it. How dare he make my life a living fucking hell; the one place where I thought I was safe. What's the saying again? Ah yes, payback's a bitch, Lynch.

All because of her. She's a Holland. That's what they do, right? Catch you off guard and tear the rug from under your feet so you fall into a bloody fucking death trap. But two can play that game. Let's get one thing straight: I don't want Izzy fucking Holland, or anything to do with her. I just wanna steal from her, you know? A little karma for how she ruined my life. And she'll fall. Because I always get what I want.

Cover by @_Jenxkiss Conor Kavanagh has always had a quiet soul and a louder heart, especially when it comes to Serena Dempsey. From the moment he laid eyes on her, he saw nothing but light. Grace. Perfection. An angel walking the halls of BCS. But angels don't fall for boys like Conor. She was Mallory's best friend, his cousin's other half. She was older, untouchable, off limits. Serena Dempsey was far too tied up in her own world to ever notice her best friend's annoying cousin and the way he watches her like she hung the stars. Conor has loved her from afar for years, content to exist in her orbit, no matter how much it tears him up inside. But little did Conor know, Serena wanted him too. She saw him, even when he thought she didn't. In the quiet moments, in the way he laughed with her friends, like he belonged, in the way his gaze always lingered a second too long. Serena noticed. She felt it. That pull. That ache. That impossible, inconvenient want that had no business existing between them. She told herself it was just a crush. Harmless. Fleeting. But it wasn't. It was him. And no matter how many times she tried to bury it. It always came back to Conor. Because maybe angels do fall. And maybe, just maybe, this time, they fall for the boy who's been loving them all along.
