Our Football Family [Slow Updates]

00 | foreword

Alex has an almost normal life.

That is, if you don't count the days that she barely makes it to class on time, or the fact that her oldest brother hates her, or the fact that she plays football. 

Yeah, 'almost' is the key word there. 

Follow Alex and her family's life through the ups and downs of high school in this novel about family, friendships, and stereotypes, and watch as family bonds are put to the test. 

Start: 9 April 2018

Whenever I read stories like this I always end up confused as to which character is who! So I decided to put it up here for reference in case that happens to any of you guys.

Alexandra (Alex) Scott - 15 yrs old (10th grade) - Youngest of the family

Jared (Jar) Scott - 15 yrs old (10th grade) - Alex's twin brother

Aaron (Ron/Ronnie) Scott - 17 yrs old (12th grade) - Dating Charlie, second oldest of the family

Caleb Scott - 22 yrs old - Oldest of the family

Charlene (Charlie) Johnson - 17 yrs old (12th grade) - School's quarterback

While on the topic of copyrights, let me just say that I don't own any of the images that I post. Either the original owners are already clear, or the image has been labeled for noncommercial reuse. Just thought I should put that out there.

Warning: lots of swearing ahead! Don't read if you're too innocent :)

Another warning: There are mentions of self-harm and abuse in this story. I know, I know - this was supposed to be a family story. But I'm me, so naturally there had to be some of that stuff in here. 

Also, the point of view changes from chapter to chapter, and there's no particular order to it - just thought I should try something different. 

I always love reading these stories, and thought it would be fun to create my own but with a personal spin on it! I hope you enjoy reading a story about high school, relationships, gender equality, and more :)
