Hi! So, a little background information may be helpful before reading:
This story is based in Louisville, Kentucky. Why there? I really have no idea, but I randomly decided to name their high school "Crescent Hill," and there is a neighborhood in Louisville named Crescent Hill. I thought Louisville was fitting. Some locations, such as the diner, are real places in Louisville/Crescent Hill. However, I do not live in Kentucky, so many places in the story are completely fictional and inaccurate.
Since I have placed them in America, I have adapted the American school system to this story.
Additionally: When I talk about football in this story, I am referring to American football. If I mention the word soccer, please don't kill me if you are from literally anywhere else in the world. I know next to nothing about sports in general, so I apologize if the infrequent football games are described a little bit faulty; I tried my best :)
P.S. Louis' actual admiration assignment will be the epilogue of this story!
P.P.S. The reason I added notes is because I originally uploaded this story to ao3, so if you would prefer to read it on there, my user is the same :)
