Paige is a driven basketball player with a dream of making it to the pros. Every shot she takes, every game she plays, is a step closer to turning her passion into reality. However, the pressure of balancing college life, a rigorous sport, and her ambitions leaves little room for anything else until Dakota enters her life. Dakota, a sports media major, is determined to carve out her path in the world of sports journalism. With a sharp eye for storytelling and a drive to succeed, she's determined to make a name for herself. Her connection to Paige starts as nothing more than a friendship, forged in the shared space of their dorm room and mutual respect's dreams. But as they spend more time together, an undeniable tension builds, and neither of them can ignore it. As Paige chases her basketball dreams and Dakota hustles to establish herself in a competitive field, their paths grow increasingly intertwined. What begins as a spark of friendship slowly kindles into something deeper. Amid late-night study sessions, on-court victories, and the pressures of college life, they begin to navigate the complex terrain of love, ambition, and self-discovery. But as their feelings for each other intensify, they must learn to balance their evolving relationship with their dreams.

Each chapter, as well as the story title, relates to a song. Both short stories and songs are an art form and are so intertwined that is why we decided to create the story this way. This is a short story, so it is a very quick read.

But in a world where sports, relationships, and rivalries collide, staying focused is easier said than done. Rashad, the star point guard, has everything-talent, charisma, and college scouts watching his every move. But when Kennedy, the one girl who doesn't fall for his charm, keeps curving him, he realizes that winning her over might be his toughest game yet. Lonnie, Rashad's twin, dominates the football field, but his heart is caught between his best friend, Daja, and his dreams of playing college ball. He swears he won't get distracted-but the line between friendship and something more is starting to blur. Brooklyn is the new girl, but her reputation got here before she did. She's known for her fights with Brianna, a girl who loves to stir up drama. But Brooklyn isn't one to back down, even when Kareem-cocky, confident, and undeniably fine-starts calling her out at every turn. Between Friday night lights, locker room tensions, late-night texts, and secrets that could ruin everything, they'll have to decide: rise above the noise or get lost in it? A gripping high school drama filled with friendship, love, betrayal, and ambition, Above the Noise is about standing out, holding your ground, and learning that sometimes, the biggest battles aren't on the field or the court-but in your own heart.
