Jamie and Charlie seem to have only one thing in common: they both grew up in the same suffocating hometown. 

          Jamie Black is an all-star quarterback, with the expectations of the entire town on his shoulders, all while dealing with a devastating secret. Charlie Sinclair on the other hand is foster kid turned town-outsider, and is just trying to move on from her past. 

          However, as both graduates unknowingly defect to the same out-of-state university, they are finally pushed into each other's lives. Instantly realizing that gleaming or lackluster reputations aren't permanent, and that even though they grew up four dirt roads apart, they honestly don't know the first thing about each other. Both face a course of regret, secrets, change, and the utter erraticness of growing up and falling in love.

Harper's Rules 1 & 2 by still_just_me
106 parts Complete Mature
We're not in love. Our past is a dumpster fire. The best we are is friends with benefits... without the friends' part. Jake Harrison, USC's star quarterback, goes through girls faster than jock straps. If that's not disgusting enough, he's my best friend's brother and my prime motivation for celibacy. Transferring to UCLA means finally getting out of my dad's house. All I want is to stay under the social radar, make Dad proud by earning my paralegal certification, and get out of Los Angeles. When Jake learns I'm nearby, the cocky jerk will stop at nothing to rekindle what didn't work before. He thinks he's grown and matured past the boy who crushed my teenage heart. I think he's taken too many tackles into the turf, but when he proposes a stress management agreement during his season... I can't help but see his point. His seven-and-a-half-inch point. The last time we indulged, we got sloppy. Not the good kind-soul-crushing feelings-sloppy. My brain knows cutting ties was for the best, but the rest of my body still hates me. But I won't be made a fool again. This time, I have rules: No attachment. No cuddles. And no falling in love. Yet, when treacherous feelings resurface, I do the worst thing possible-Break my own rules. This time, whoever falls first isn't getting back up. Story is complete.

In Dillon, Texas, football isn't just a sport-it's a way of life. For Josephine "Josie" Garrity, though, football feels like just another way she's invisible. While her older sister Lyla shines as a cheerleader and her father, Buddy Garrity, basks in the glory of the Panthers, Josie quietly keeps to herself, finding solace behind the lens of her camera. When the Panthers' season begins, Josie reluctantly agrees to photograph the games for the school yearbook, hoping to find common ground with her football-obsessed father. Her assignment brings her closer to Matt Saracen, the team's humble and often-overlooked backup quarterback, who is suddenly thrust into the spotlight after star QB Jason Street's injury. Matt is kind and thoughtful but also carrying the weight of Dillon's expectations-and Julie Taylor, Coach's daughter, has already caught his eye. As Matt and Julie begin a tentative romance, Josie and Matt form a quiet friendship through late-night talks about pressure, identity, and finding their place in a world that often feels too big. Josie keeps her feelings for Matt to herself, watching from the sidelines as his relationship with Julie flourishes-and falters under the weight of growing pains. Love, friendship, and self-discovery unfold on and off the field, proving that sometimes the best stories are the ones told in the quietest moments.
