Then she meets Carmen Castro, the girl who becomes her first real friend... and Carmen's twin brother, the boy JJ can't seem to shake from her mind. 𝐅𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐗 𝐂𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐑𝐎 has played football his whole life, but at thirteen it stops being fun and becomes a legacy he never asked for. His father-once a star, now his coach-pushes him to be stronger, faster, perfect. In the chaos, JJ becomes the one thing that keeps him steady. Until JJ suddenly pulls away. Physically and emotionally. No explanation. No warning. Just silence. Felix refuses to let her go without a fight. But JJ's silence isn't anger. It's fear. And Felix is about to learn that loving someone who's still learning how to survive might be the hardest game he'll ever play. ─────୨ৎ───── Before I can stop myself, I reach over and cover her hands with mine. "Shit, JJ. You're freezing." I keep my one hand there, unwilling to let go, and use my other to crank up the heat. "It's okay," she murmurs. "No, it's not," I scoff under my breath. "You could've gotten hurt." "Would that have been so bad?" she says, lifting her eyes to mine, shrugging like she's talking about the weather. "Don't say that." I shake my head, swallowing hard. "Tell me you don't mean that." She just looks at me with no emotion behind her eyes while a tear rolls down her cheek. "Julie..." My voice cracks around her name.

With three younger siblings to protect and an abusive father threatening to pull them under, basketball is more than just a dream-it's his escape. Every game is a shot at freedom, a chance to leave the shadows behind and build a future far from the chaos that has defined his life. 𝙃𝙖𝙯𝙚𝙡 𝙇𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧 is the picture of perfection-or so the world believes. Driven by the crushing weight of trying to live up to her family's reputation, she excels in everything she does. But behind her polished exterior lies a girl unravelling, haunted by a past she can't forget and the relentless fear that she'll never be enough, no matter how hard she tries. They hate each other He's a scholarship kid from the Southside She's the daughter of a billionaire They have nothing in common until they do

Quinn Parker is the girl everyone thinks they know-perfect grades, perfect hair, perfect smile. But behind the polished image is a secret she guards so tightly that not even her closest friends see the cracks. Ryder Bennett has spent years pretending he doesn't care about anything, least of all Quinn. He used to make her life miserable in middle school, and she's never forgiven him for it. Except now, the more time they spend in the same orbit, the harder it is for either of them to ignore the pull. They argue. They tease. They cross lines and retreat. And somewhere in between late-night conversations, stolen car rides, and the weight of things unsaid, Quinn starts to realize Ryder isn't who she thought he was-and maybe she isn't either. In a world where appearances matter and silence feels safer than honesty, two people who were never supposed to trust each other might be the only ones who actually can.
