Y/N Routledge. Sixteen. John B's little sister. He's been the overprotective type ever since your dad disappeared months ago-setting rules you never agreed to, and watching your every move like you'd vanish too. It's been just the two of you for a while now... well, and JJ Maybank. Seventeen, reckless, full of trouble and charm. He's always around-more than you'd like to admit. And sure, you both get along, but it's always been just friendship. Mostly. Probably. You're a Pogue through and through. Scraped knuckles, stolen boats, and not following the rules is your normal. Sarah Cameron is tolerable now that she's dating your brother, and surprisingly, she's proven herself more than once. But Kooks like Rafe and Topper? Let's just say if looks could kill, they'd be buried six feet under the Chateau. This summer feels... different. Maybe it's the pressure. Maybe it's the secrets. Or maybe it's the fake relationship you never expected to agree to. Rules were made. Lines were drawn. He's not supposed to fall. You swore you wouldn't either. But sometimes hearts don't follow rules-especially in the Outer Banks. **This story can also be found on my TikTok account as well with many others!!** TikTok: @obxstoriess_p4l

18+ | 2026 WATTYS SHORTLISTER | First Draft | Not edited. |"You gonna sit there all night?" Luka glances at me, smirking. I glare back. "I was enjoying the last few seconds of peace before having to spend an evening pretending to like you." "That's funny," he says, unbuckling his seatbelt. "Why?" I snap. "Because I was thinking the same thing." | The rules? Easy enough. 1. Pretend to be the perfect couple. 2. Keep it professional. 3. And whatever you do, don't. catch. feelings. Simple, right? Sofia Calloway never planned on going viral for throwing a drink in Luka Mikhaylov's face. But one video, one pissed-off hockey star, and one furious university later... she's suddenly stuck in a fake relationship with the guy she can't stand. He needs to clean up his image before the NHL draft. She needs the free tuition that comes with the deal. All they have to do is smile for the cameras, hold hands at the games, and act like they don't want to strangle each other. Then come the late-night arguments that last too long. The stolen glances that feel too dangerous. The moment where "pretend" starts looking way too real. Because when you break the rules, someone's bound to lose. And this time, it might be both of them.
