Jeremiah Smith is the golden boy of his high-school, Chaminade Madonna. He's the all star wide receiver, future NFL prospect, and the face on every locker and local billboard. With scouts watching his every move and his name trending on social media, Jeremiah seems to have it all. But behind the fame is a seventeen-year-old trying to breathe through the pressure, expectations, and the haunting feeling that no one truly knows him. Aurora Belle is the new girl with fire in her eyes and a notebook full of poetry. She's lived a hundred lives in her head, but this one...this small-town reality, is the one she can't seem to escape. She's focused, guarded, and uninterested in the high school social scene, especially the overhyped athletes who think they own the halls. That is, until Jeremiah notices her. A quiet run-in in one of their classes, mixed with a bunch of distance eventually turns into late-night talks, secret walks behind the bleachers, and a slow-burning connection that neither of them saw coming. Aurora begins to see the boy beneath the jersey, and Jeremiah starts to believe he could be more than his highlight reel. But with rumors, jealousy, and their own fears getting in the way, they'll have to fight through the noise to find something real. In the middle of the chaos that is senior year, Teenage Fever captures what it means to fall in love for the first time...messy, electric, and unforgettable. This is the story of two teenagers chasing clarity in a world full of blurred lines. A story which will transition onto college, where they will have to face a bigger crowd, more drama, and the reality that their love will be tested. But...will they pass with flying colors, or drown within everything?

"TBH... I wasn't supposed to be on his stream. I wasn't supposed to catch his eye from the back of the party. And I definitely wasn't supposed to have him looking like he forgot how to read chat."

Tamara "Mara" Saint-Belucci never planned to become a junior race engineer at seventeen, but now she's fighting to prove herself in a world that never stops testing her. Sleepless nights, endless data, and no time for friends-just focus and results. Then there's Andrea Kimi Antonelli-her opposite in every way. He's calm, bright, and annoyingly persistent, the kind of driver who somehow gets under her skin and stays there. Between the arguments, the laughter, and the quiet moments in the garage, they find something that pushes them to be better-on and off the track.

To connect or link together, with the parts joined often having an effect on each other. When Jade leaves Houston for a fresh start at Colorado University, she's locked in on one goal-building her future. A paid internship as a photographer and videographer for the CU Buffs football team is the perfect step toward her dream career. She's not here for drama, distractions, or anything outside the frame of her camera. Her plan is simple: stay focused, do the work, and keep her head down. But then there's him. Shilo Sanders isn't just another player on the field. He's magnetic. Sharp. And impossible to ignore. He carries himself like he knows exactly who he is-calm, confident, and just mysterious enough to pull her attention every time he walks into the room. He speaks in a way that hints there's more going on beneath the surface. And the way he looks at Jade? It's like she's not just capturing the story-she is the story. What was supposed to be a job quickly blurs into something more. It starts small-lingering glances, shared laughs, close proximity that makes her heart race. The unspoken tension between them simmers quietly, but intensely, growing with every interaction. Jade didn't come to Boulder looking for love... but sometimes, connection doesn't ask permission. It just happens. Now, every moment on the sideline feels like a scene waiting to unfold. Every almost-touch feels electric. And despite her best efforts to stay focused on her goals, Jade finds herself drawn to Shilo in ways she didn't expect-and can't explain. Because some people don't just cross your path. They intersect with your story in a way that changes the whole narrative.
