Cal Jackson's new life as a rockstar fails to account for one thing: the existence of the girl he loves. ***** "What are you thinking about?" she asks. "A song," I say. "A new song."

"You're destined to be someone big, Cal." "Really?" "Yeah." ***** She's perfect in every way. Beautiful. Smart. Her bright future is right there in front of her eyes. While here I am. Ruined.

The moment she whispers my name, "Cal," I lose all sanity. She becomes my melody, my lyrics, the song that keeps echoing in my ears. People call her Mia.

The Renegades
There's not much to say about a town like Ruby. It's that classic small town that every story is based in. If Dillon from Friday Night Lights was a real town, it'd be Ruby. Only one thing matters in these towns, and that's football. You're either a football player or a cheerleader, whether you get to wear the cute skirt or not. Kids go to school and adults go to work Monday through Friday. Adults get off work early on Fridays and close up shop in order to get to the field on time. If you're not at the game on Friday night, you're a heretic. If you're not on the team, you don't really even matter. But this story... It's about the Renegades, but it's not. It's really not. Just in a story in a town like Ruby where nothing but football matters, the story is always going to involve football. But this isn't a football story. This isn't going to be the story of how the Renegades fight their way to the state championship just to lose in the last seconds. This isn't going to be the story of how the Renegades rebuild after some tragedy. This isn't going to be the story of how the Renegades collapse. It's just a story about three Renegades and the only other thing that matters in Ruby, Texas- love.Complete
