What started off as something mean-less slowly but surely turned into something mean- full

Jayden is guy who's quick to angry but keeps to his self for the most part unless provoked otherwise. Having more then enough things going on in his life. He doesn't let just anybody in nor does he care to. The only thing he cares about is those he considers closest to him and basketball. Things change when an altercation happens at school and Jayden is sent to his coach's office. Coach getting fed up with the way Jayden's been acting and breaks the news to him that if he doesn't get his grades up and act together he'd be kicked off the team. Jayden having no way how as his failing for the most part all of his classes. Coach didn't suggest it but pushed for him to get tutored by William Keith the most popular kid in school and the basketball team captain who happens to be the top student in his school to Jaydens dismay. Left with no other options Jayden must get tutored in order to stay on the team. But what happens when tutoring sessions take an unexpected turn for better or worst and they start to see each other deeper then they ever thought they would.

Struggling with your sexual identity is no easy path-and it's never a joke. Especially not in the world of football. Especially not as a Black male with an overbearing father who makes it clear he "ain't raise no sissy." For Isiah Carter, that struggle only gets worse during his junior year of high school when a new teammate, Luke Collins, joins the field in the summer. At first, Luke is nothing but a thorn in his side-the dog to his cat. They clash constantly, never seeing eye to eye, always one argument away from throwing hands. They clash on and off the field, tension building with every argument, every look held too long. Luke is everything Isiah shouldn't want-and everything he can't ignore. But one night changes everything, and suddenly, Isiah is unable to deny what he's been running from.

Cause you give me something familiar 🖤 • "Look, I ain't mean to wake you up. I was just getting my shit and leaving," he said, quickly reaching down to grab his shirt from off of the ground near a fallen lamp. I guess that was what caused the crash earlier. "We don't even have to talk about it, for real," he rushed out. "So, you was just gon' fuck and dip?" My words stopped him in his tracks. "Without sayin' nothin'?" I was lowkey hurt at the realization that he was tryna sneak out of my spot after what we did. "Kofi...we fucked," he whispered the last part guiltily, as if he was afraid to say it out loud. "You're straight. I-" "Obviously, not anymore...after the way I had you screaming last night." . *Spin-off from Waves

Jamari don't do love. Don't do labels. And definitely don't do men. Or at least that's what he tells himself. He keeps his distance, moves cold, and backs up every time things get too real. Jay doesn't hide how he feels. He shows up. He puts in effort. And that's where the problems start. Jay wants Jamari in a way that's honest, steady but Jamari keeps pulling away, turning tension into arguments and silence into space. They clash because Jay wants forward, and Jamari is scared of what forward means.

Malik Archer is used to being watched. On the court, off the court, it doesn't matter. Discipline, faith, and routine keep him grounded, but none of that prepared him for wanting someone he can't afford to lose.

Everybody expected Jalen Carter to crash out after prison. Instead, he came home trying to be a father. Trying to stay free. Trying to move differently. Trying not to lose himself again. But Amir Johnson makes that shit difficult. His best friend has been attached to his side since they were kids, still loud, still reckless, still the only person who can get under Jalen's skin without trying. And the closer they get, the harder it becomes to ignore the tension building between them. Now with his baby mama wanting their family back, old street problems resurfacing, and feelings neither of them knows how to handle... everything they built together could either save them- or destroy them..
