Their school isn't just bad... it's the worst.
Dead last in football. Dead last in basketball. Even their marching band can't play in tune. The scoreboard, the students, the whole city-everyone agrees: they're a joke.
But Ulyssa Vega is tired of watching her school get humiliated. With her best friends-Roderick, Samantha, and Damian-she makes a promise: they'll bring pride back, no matter what it takes.
What starts as a group chat soon turns into a mission. After tracking down Marcus "Mack" Holloway, a disgraced ex-NFL player nobody else believes in, the four of them begin a fight to change not just a football team, but an entire school.
Loss after loss, setback after setback... they're still clowns in everyone's eyes. But with spirit, grit, and loyalty, they might just transform last place into something unforgettable.
Because sometimes the biggest victories don't start on the field.
They start in the bleachers.

Season 1 of My Brother's Best Friend ********* Maddie Davis has been in love with her brother's best friend, Cameron Holden, since she was in the sixth grade. They used to be best friends, too, until he got into high school and became a version of himself she didn't even recognize. Everyone said he was a shoo-in for the NFL, and he let it get to his head. Right before high school started, he worked out until he was built like a sculpture, he got rid of his braces, and suddenly the girls fell at his feet. But that was fine because her middle school crush faded. And besides, even if she did think he was hot, Cameron wasn't someone she could go for even if she wanted to. Unless, of course, she found herself wound up with him in a closet during a game of blind seven minutes -- a closet so tiny and secretive that she would finally be able to act on the feelings she's tried so desperately to hide. But what were the odds of that happening? Content warning: This story contains mature sexual content and themes of bullying, sexual assault, violence, and explicit language.
