THIS IS THE NEW AND IMPROVED VERSION OF THIS STORY.
There were some details that were making it hard for me to move forward, so I started over and I'm back to finish!

Please read all the way down to the trigger warnings!

Story description:

Briar Elizabeth Maddox

Became a social outcast over the summer and now her used-to-be friends treat her no better than the dirt under their shoes. But no matter what she's been through, she's still our sunshine girl, always treating life with a positive attitude.

Roman Dean Castro

Well... he's definitely got an attitude. His main focus is basketball and he has no time for anyone else's crap. Being the new kid in town just brings him unwanted attention. With his social skills hanging by a thread, it's a wonder how he's quickly considered one of the school's biggest heartthrobs.

It's their senior year. With Roman being the way he is, his teacher decides he needs a positive influence in his life.

And what better influence is there than our sweet girl star student Briar Maddox?

Start date: 2/18/2022
Completed: TBD

So anyway

One of my favorite tropes ever is grumpy vs. sunshine, so I decided to write my own. I just loveeee the stories where the grumpy boy asshole falls for the sweet sunshine girl. MY. FAV. TROPE.

And I also wanted to make a slow burn love story SO YAY!

Now I do want to say, my stories in the past have been feel good romances and I AM A BIG FAT SUCKER FOR FEEL GOOD ROMANCE. However, this is definitely a more emotional journey than my other two stories. The mc is adopted with a rough past. Please consider the following warnings ...

Trigger Warnings:
-Panic Attacks
-Ongoing bullying
-Sexual assault/mentions of rape
-mentions of drug abuse
-mentions of physical abuse

If anything listed above triggers you PLEASE take care of you and move along. I will not be putting trigger warnings at the top of chapters because I feel that this messes with the flow of my story telling.

With all things considered, I hope you decide to give this story a chance! <3 it's very precious to my heart and I hope you enjoy it.
