Summer
Clayton Sanders has always just been part of my life.
He's my best friend's older brother, Kingston U's star quarterback, and somehow the guy every girl on campus wants.
But to me, he's just Clay.
The boy who surfed with me every summer and sat in the back of his pickup eating Cheetos while our boards dried in the sun.
Then one stupid party changes everything.
Now we're stuck somewhere between friendship and something more, hiding stolen moments and undeniable tension from the one person we can't afford to hurt.
But secrets never stay buried forever.
And the more time I spend with Clay again, the more I realize some people might be worth risking everything for.
Clay
Summer Lawson is back in my life.
My little sister's best friend. The girl I used to pick up before sunrise to surf before school. The one person I never saw coming.
Now she's here for her junior year, and suddenly staying "just friends" doesn't seem so simple anymore.
Because one stupid party changed everything.
Now all I want is to be close to her. To touch her. Kiss her. Keep her safe.
But the lines between us are blurring fast, and the voice in the back of my head keeps reminding me what's at stake.
Abby.
Football.
The NFL draft.
Losing any of it isn't an option.
But maybe Summer is the risk I've been willing to take all along.

Chasing perfection
They were perfect. Untouchable. Inseparable. Lavish parties, lake houses, effortless wealth, but behind closed doors, the illusion crumbles. Secrets fester, addiction hides in plain sight, mania spirals dangerously, and love strikes when it's least expected. In a world obsessed with reputation and appearances, perfection is a trap. Sometimes the only way forward is to let the glass break, and hope the light can get in. // Callum Hayes was always the quiet type, never speaking unless necessary. Instead he watches, calculating, controlled, carrying a legacy that was chosen for him long before he could say no. He wore his silence like armour, his shadow as a second skin. But when it came to her, the weight of it all softened, the darkness easing just enough to let the light she carried reach him. Isla Mercer was raised to be perfect. To be kind, to be composed. She was careful, feeling too deeply and thinking too much, carrying other people's expectations like they were her own. She learned how to hold herself together even when everything around her felt fragile. Until he showed her that some people don't want perfection from her, only honesty. // Isla let out a slow breath, her gaze fixed somewhere past him. "Maybe this is how it was always going to go," she muttered. "Maybe I'm just not meant for good things, maybe it's just fate." "I don't believe in fate," he whispered, "I believe in you." // Tropes: -Friends to lovers -Found family -Coming of age -Rich society -He fell first -Quiet yearning -One bed -Slow burn -"It's always been you" -Miscommunication -Absent parents (And so much more) // #1 in friendship goals 11-1-26 #3 in selfdestruction 3-1-26 #4 in ya 9-1-26
