River Moore is your all-star athlete. After switching schools and accepting a starting position on the basketball team, he wants to continue his college athlete lifestyle and live his life to the fullest.

When Alex and River are reunited six years after their unbreakable friendship dies, Alex thinks he will finally get the answers to his long-awaited questions.

The Bad Boy Saved Me by Pentatonix21

Do you ever wonder what life would be like if it were a movie? Or some sappy romance novel that you wish your life could be like but it's not? Sometimes you may even get to caught up in the fictional world that you don't realise it IS fictional. Then when you do realise life isn't what you convinced yourself it would be, there is only one possible outcome. Depression. Which may lead to anxiety, self-harm, low self esteem, and worst of all, losing the people you love. Life works in weird ways. Not just for you but for others too. Take Cassidy Rivers for example. Her life is far from perfect. No parents, over protective big brother, few friends, and Asher Norman, the bad boy who won't stop picking on her. Could life get any worse for Cassidy?

The way you call me yours by dark_sage

They've been best friends since birth. Now they're basically living together, falling in love, and calling each other names like it's foreplay. Leah Rhodes has always had a plan: keep her head down, survive her senior year, and try not to think about the boy she's been in love with since before she even knew what that meant. Nash Gentry has never had a plan-except making sure Leah always has a place to land. Even if that means watching her fall for someone else. Even if that means pretending he's not completely, obsessively in love with her. But when jealousy, heartbreak, and one impulsive kiss shatter the boundary between best friends and something more, they'll have to decide if love is worth the risk of losing everything they've ever known. Because they've always belonged to each other. Even if neither of them knew it yet.
