At Saint Jude's University, football is everything-until cheer captain Harry Styles makes it personal.
Quarterback Louis Tomlinson is used to pressure, but not the kind that shows up in crop tops and glitter, blowing kisses from the sidelines. Harry isn't just a distraction-he's a walking penalty.
Tensions flare, secrets simmer, and rivalry turns into something a lot more dangerous under the lights.
In a world of pom-poms and penalties, the real game is the one they're playing off the field.

I'll be coming Back For You - L.S
Louis and Harry grew up together in a quiet rural town just outside of London. From the very beginning, Louis felt an unexplainable pull toward Harry-something he didn't fully understand until years later, when he realized it had always been a crush. Harry, charming but a little air-headed, never seemed to notice the lingering glances or the subtle, affectionate touches Louis gave without thinking. Then, just days before their high school graduation, while hanging out like they always did, Louis-tired of hiding, aching with the weight of unspoken feelings-finally confessed his love. It backfired completely. Harry didn't feel the same. Worse, he admitted he wouldn't be attending the same university as they'd always planned- he was moving away. No warning. No real goodbye. Crushed and bitter, Louis spent his first year of college drifting-isolated, numb, unable to move past the heartbreak of losing his best friend and first love all at once. So, how do you recover from someone who was your everything? It's not until senior year that he sees him again: a painfully familiar face in a place he never expected. After all this time, after all that hurt... how is Louis supposed to react? Can his now fragile, stitched-up heart take it?Complete
