Bro Code

What happens when the sacred Bro Code clashes with unexpected feelings? Nick Maguire, bound by the unwritten rules of brotherhood, finds himself in a precarious position when his best friend's sister, the recently returned Eliza O'Connor, re-enters his life. As rumors fly and loyalties are tested, Nick must navigate the complex world of high school, friendships, and a potential romance that could break the ultimate bro taboo.
The muggy August air hangs heavy as you arrive at Cassidy High, late again. Mr. Hoover, the perpetually grumpy hall monitor, is waiting. Another tardy slip stings your hand, a precursor to the lecture you know is coming from your dad, your soccer coach. The familiar scent of old mop water and stale tuna sandwiches fills the empty hallway as you head towards the gym, your backpack a lead weight on your shoulders. Just as you reach the top of the back staircase, the door bursts open, hitting your shin. Madison Hayes stands there, her rosy perfume mixing unpleasantly with the lingering weed smoke from the loitering underclassmen below.
She gives you a knowing look, her crystal eyes holding your gaze. "Long time no see, handsome."
