Being in love is hard.
Being in love with your best friend's older brother is harder.
Especially when the said brother is the star quarterback and the captain of the football team. All the while you are just a step above from being a social outcast. Not to mention he already has the perfect girlfriend and they are considered the golden couple.
To quote my father, Life's a bitch right?
But now that the golden couple has broken up, I call dibs. Dibs on the quarterback.

Rose O'Connell has been in love with Jason Henderson for as long as she can remember.
In her defense, falling in love with someone you have idolized since you were a kid is inevitable right. It isn't her fault really. It's not like she hasn't tried to get over him. She has. But nothing ever works. She always ends up gravitating towards him.
But one day everything changes for Rose when the love of her life starts paying attention to her.
After all, friendship is just the beginning.
