Football players are assholes. I know - my brother is their king. Older and annoyingly overprotective, he's the star quarterback at Santa Cruz High School. I love him, but everyone worships the air he breathes and it's suffocating. After a traumatic experience with a quarterback three years ago, I want nothing to do with boys and dating. All that matters is getting into college, so I ace my classes and sign up for my school's student ambassador program to boost my applications. Thankfully, I have my best friend, Harper, to get me through high school being overshadowed by my brother. My plans for a quiet, low-key senior year are destroyed when my brother's cocky, arrogant rival keeps butting into my life. Logan Hightower is a total player who expects me to drool at his feet while he uses me to burn my brother's game. If he thinks I'll fall for his gorgeous looks and shallow charms, he's totally mistaken. He'll never succeed because I hate football players. Note: Some of the chapters have mature content, as marked. Swearing is blatantly rampant and sensitive chapters are marked with the associated trigger warnings. highest rankings: #1 lovestory, youngadult, quarterback, goodgirl, cute, texting, sports, slowburn, series, & California, highschool, teenager, teenfic, series, completed #2 romance This story is complete, edited, and totally revamped in 2023! -me

For Nate, the world was once a nice and friendly place, at least until they came. The Bobbies. No one knows how it started. One day their loved ones turned on them, devouring them like an eight-course meal. The reason for this remains unknown, and now the biggest worry anybody has is surviving. * * * Ten years ago, the Outbreak happened, dooming more than half of the human population to the infection and turned into Bobbies: flesh-eating monsters that most want to see exterminated. Nate is just a survivor in this new crazy world whose only goal is to live to see another day. He doesn't go out of his way to help others, and he isn't a hero. All Nate wants to do is survive in his hideaway and remain hidden from the rest of the world. This all changes when Vanessa comes barging into his life. Now, he has to decide if he should risk himself in order to help Vanessa survive. It won't be easy with all the crazed Bobbies and other creatures of the night that came creeping into light in all the chaos. And the Nightmare Terror Specialized Unit is constantly on their tails and actively hunting all witches down. Will Nate help Vanessa? And if he does, will he succeed in helping them both survive? With everyone against them, only time will tell. Cover by @angoissee Banner by @Bandit26139 If you are viewing this on a site other than Wattpad.com, you risk getting a virus.
