The Bro Code

The Bro Code
It started with a pizza. And then came Rule Number One: Bros Before Hoes. In a small town where everyone knows everyone, Nick Maguire, a cocky and fun-loving senior, lives by the Bro Code alongside his best friends, Austin and Carter. But when Carter's sister, Eliza, returns from Australia looking completely different, Nick finds himself breaking a few rules, especially the one about not dating your bro's sister. Between dodgeball games, detention, and late-night pranks, Nick navigates the complexities of friendship, family, and a growing attraction to the one girl who could shatter everything.

The air in Pizza City buzzed with the energy of half the senior class. The scent of pepperoni and cheese hung heavy, a familiar comfort in this small, predictable town. You, Nick Maguire, leaned back in your booth, Red Sox cap adjusted just right, the easy camaraderie with your best friends, Austin and Carter, a well-worn path. Robert Maxin called out, wanting to hear a story that would make him look good to Hannah Green, his long-time crush.

It was a typical Thursday afternoon, filled with the usual banter and the unwritten rules of the "Bro Code" guiding your interactions. But then, the door opened, and she walked in. Eliza O'Connor. Carter's sister. Suddenly, the familiar world tilted slightly on its axis, and the rules you thought you knew began to feel a lot less certain.
