college comingofage football highschool metanovel novelette romance short surprising thoughtprovoking twist

This is first a contemplative look at fiction in general, and then a coming of age drama in which circumstances aspire to keep two lovers apart. I had a vision for this story, which I realized very well through its characters and plot if I do say so myself. I am sure you will enjoy this, and the ending may surprise you, but it is all for a reason. The title stems from the hobby of our protagonist at the story's beginning; it is not about American football. The plot is the same as my former unfinished project "Hanging by a Moment"; certain things have been modified, but the main story is exactly the same. I hope that it makes you think as much as I had to think to write it.All Rights Reserved

Highschool Sweethearts by K-good

Katelyn has been in and out of the foster system since her mother died when she was young. After her father gets put in jail again, she gets sent to live with the Thomas family. The Thomas's are a very well-off family with four boys. Their house is usually the main hangout for the boys and their friends. Kate hasn't ever lived with siblings before, let alone this many boys, so it's a big change for her. Daniel is your typical high school football player; he's got the looks, the muscles, talent, and even the overbearing dad who wants him to go pro. Daniel, however, really couldn't care less about a career in football, he loves the game, but it's his dad's dream for him to go pro, not his own. At least not anymore. He spends most of his free time away from his house and hanging out at either the Thomas or the Copperfield house. He can't wait to go off to college with his friends and get away from his dad and the stupid little town he grew up in. How will things change for them over the next year? This will be a series of 4, but the other books will be spin-offs and can be read as stand-alone books. They will, however, be published in chronological order. Full warning, this book is much shorter than I intend on making the spin-offs. I was planning on writing book two as the first in the series but found myself needing more of a prequel to all three other books, and so I chose to write something from their high school years. Bonus points for giving Daniel a love interest that was more than just a name.

Decisions Under the Saturday Night Lights(Sequel To One Of The Guys) by bowsandbooks17

High school is over, the guys have all went their separate ways, but still keep in contact with each other. Noah and Addison are making it work long distance, but Addi has a secret. She's redshirted for a reason very few know. A new guy saunters in and once agreeing on just friends, he still can't help but flirt here and there. More guy drama, football, and one big decision, all under the Saturday night stadium lights. (Constantly editing and tweaking things here and there. Nothing too major though. Also this was written by 12/13 year old me and my best friend Dylan, so yeah, I apologize for all mistakes. I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote this story but here it is.)

My Not So Typical Life by Slice_O_Life

It's basically a story about your average gamer hanging with her high school friends, and meeting new friends along the way. She was having fun until she had to think about who to go to prom with. Will the main character find her player 2? Read this story if you want to find out! By the way, this is my first story I wrote. So if you think there's something wrong, please note about my mistakes so that the next time I wrote another, it will be a bit better next time I wrote another story.

An Unexpected Moment by caromerri

... that changes everything Sarah was starting her junior year of high school. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw a pretty average blonde haired, blue eyed, teenager. She was neither in the popular group, nor one of the many cliched outsiders. Sarah was a nobody. She liked to blend in and lay low. It was her way out of not only this town, but her house. No one knew it, but her father was a high functioning alcoholic that often took his anger out on his family. With her older sister now in college, it had turned to her more often. Laying low in general was a good strategy. Across town, Ryan was prepping for his final year in high school. While he wasn't the stereotypical quarterback of the football team, he did fit into the popular crowd. His sports of choice included basketball and soccer, either of which might line him up for a scholarship next year. Ryan had a group of close friends and a lot of adoring acquaintances. It wasn't easy juggling his athletics and keeping the grades up, but he was just that good. The supporting parents didn't hurt either. It might be a cliché romance, but it will be fun to see what the year and beyond holds. ------------------------------------------ This is a story I wrote years ago, or at least partially wrote. As I transcribe it here, I have tried to update it a bit and give the characters/story more depth than what I had when I was younger. Hopefully it all gets pulled together!

They quickly find themselves fighting urges that they have absolutely no time for, and feelings that don't fit into their plans. But try as they might, they just can't seem to stay away from each other. Grayson has always loved a challenge but getting closer to Mia is a game he's never played before. And as her past resurfaces, all the rules begin to change for their eyes. But ready or not, it's time to start playing the game.

Heartbreak Season by xinfiniteandbeyondx

"Thanks for the best day ever" I grinned looking up at him as the sky overhead darkened. "It was your six year old imagination that did this" He smiled bumping my shoulder. "I was amazing" I drawled. "You still are" he murmured quietly looking down at me. Our gazes locked and I felt my heartbeat quicken. Somewhere in the back of my mind I registered that it had begun raining but the other half, the part that was taking over, only saw him. His gaze moved to my lips and I was frozen as he slowly brought his face to mine. Call it what you will but whatever it was, took over. ~~~~ A super original story about a girl on an all boys soccer team, who only wears sweats and t-shirts, but so happens to fall in love with the team captain who happens to be so far out of her league, it's almost unbearable. Of course, she's like a sister to him (cliche cliche cliche) but, alas, he falls for her...but not before she seems to be falling for the boy she's known since she was a child. Love triangles, disastrous proms, insane step brothers, and a high school class system bent on maintaining the status quo and you've got yourself a teenage love story. **This story was written almost six years ago, when cliche romance novels and vampires made the world swoon.
