UP

Y/n and her twin brother Mason have always been seen as a package deal—but only one of them fits the role everyone expects. Mason is the disciplined, respected star of the high school football team, while Y/n, a cheerleader, lives under constant judgment and rumors she never asked for. Tired of being defined by other people’s assumptions, she keeps her guard up and her attitude sharper. Jace Calder, the team’s captain, seems like everything Y/n can’t stand—cocky, charming, and known for never taking anything seriously beyond football. He assumes Y/n is exactly what people say she is, and she’s more than ready to prove him wrong… loudly. As juniors in high school, their lives are constantly overlapping—games, practices, late nights, and mutual friends—making it impossible to avoid each other. Their rivalry quickly becomes known for its tension and sharp back-and-forth, especially with Mason caught in the middle, determined to keep his sister away from someone he doesn’t trust. But as moments of honesty start breaking through their arguments, both Jace and Y/n begin to realize they’ve been completely wrong about each other. What starts as irritation turns into understanding—and something neither of them planned for. Now, they’re stuck navigating feelings they can’t ignore, reputations they can’t escape, and a brother who refuses to accept the one person she’s finally starting to trust.
