Off The Record

Ellie Hayes has spent her entire life following the rules. Straight A's. Perfect attendance. A five-year plan leading to one dream: Yale Law School. Distractions have never been part of the plan.

Then Noah Carter walks into Westbridge High.

Within days, everyone knows his name. He's effortlessly charming, impossible to ignore, and somehow always the center of attention without even trying. To Ellie, he's everything she's worked her whole life to avoid.

When a Government class project forces them to work together, their first conversations are filled with sarcasm, arguments, and clashing personalities. But as late-night study sessions replace heated debates, Ellie begins to see cracks in the confident boy everyone else thinks they know.

What starts as constant frustration slowly becomes something neither of them saw coming. Because sometimes the people who challenge us the most are the ones who change us forever.

Off the Record is a heartwarming and emotionally charged slow-burn romance about first love, impossible expectations, family, forgiveness, and discovering that the people we judge the quickest often have the stories we understand the least.
