Diana just wants to keep her head low while dealing with a family that is slowly but steadily falling apart and a best-friend-turned-enemy that she could certainly do without.

Camreigh Flynn is scared. Scared of what her family is going to think of her. Scared of what her best friend is going to think of her. Let alone coming to terms with the whole world knowing her dark, dark secret. She's tried to hide it for so long but, what if she doesn't hide any longer? What if she finally comes clean? "Fine, okay." I paused, trying to come up with the best words, gulping in anticipation of what was about to come out of my mouth. "I'm gayer than a fucking rainbow," I blurted out finally, sick of hearing about Jameson Ellis, and how he had this unrequited love for me. It was never going to happen and now she knew why. She just stared. Wide eyed with her mouth wide open as well, probably not sure what to say to my confession. I don't even know where those words came from but, I just smiled, finally getting the biggest secret off my chest and hoping for the best... What happens when she falls for the coach's daughter? Will it be too much pressure? PSA: •This is a girlxgirl story so if you aren't into that, don't read. •Also there is some strong language used throughout the story. •There with probably be sexual content as well when I get later into the story. Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoy it! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 -Ella #1 Ranking in Soccer

Riley's past isn't something most kids go through. Bad things happened, but when she got older, her dad decided it was best to move, and get away from something that seemed to haunt Riley. They moved from Arizona to California. About 1/4 into her junior year, Riley had to go to a new school, and make new friends. She didn't really care about having friends though, as long as she was able to play soccer, she would be okay. Soccer had always been there for her, when her mom died, when she didn't have anyone else, when she was in a bad mood. It was always there for her to play. She didn't need anyone else. That changed when she met Brooke Eckmann. Brooke is also a junior in high school, and is the varsity teams goalie. When they first meet on the field, it was something different. She couldn't stop thinking about her. It was something both of them had never felt before. Things start to happen, and all of a sudden soccer isn't the only thing there for Riley, someone else is too. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That is just a vague idea of what this story will be about, read more to find out what all happens and if the two will be together in the end. Thanks and enjoy. Cover credits all to @allthgdusrnmsrtkn
