Completed. Charlie McKinley felt like he had the entire world in the palm of his hand. He was the one to finally pull the Jefferson Jackrabbits out of a fifteen year slump. Riding high on last year's State Championship, Charlie has everything planned out: finish the season with another state ring, get passing grades so he can make it into college on a football scholarship, and hook up with as many hot girls as he can in his senior year. Things he doesn't plan to do: fall in love.
Enter Elizabeth Von Batton into the equation and Charlie's entire world flips upside down. Cute, sarcastic, and shockingly witty, Elizabeth walks into the school and instantly makes a name for herself. But she's got skeletons in her closet, ones that she's not too keen on people finding out. With a personal vendetta against football players and everything they stand for, Elizabeth is utterly disgusted by Charlie's entire way of life. 
But something keeps pulling them together, and that just might be football.

Highschool Sweethearts by K-good
16 parts Complete Mature
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.

Love was never the problem. Trust was. Iris Khan doesn't do second chances. As a dedicated rugby player and top computer science student, she's built a life that doesn't rely on anyone. Especially not Christian Montas; the relentless, cocky defensive lineman who stole her heart two years ago and let her down just as fast. She thought she was over him. Thought she had buried every last feeling. She was wrong. Christian has never stopped wanting Iris. He's spent years waiting for his shot, and now, in their final year of university, he's not wasting it. This time, he's proving himself in every small way, every single day. But Iris isn't making it easy. She keeps him at arm's length, convinced that letting him back in will only end in heartbreak. Just when she starts to believe in him again, Christian's past resurfaces, forcing him to confront the one thing he swore he'd never let touch his future. And instead of leaning on Iris, he shuts her out completely. Now, the walls she had started to tear down are back up; stronger than ever. If Christian wants to win her back, he has to do more than chase her. He has to fight for her. For them. And Iris? She has to decide if she's willing to take the risk... Because in both love and (Canadian) football, you only have 3 Chances . YOU DO NOT NEED TO READ DESIGNING FOREVER TO READ THIS!

Late-night talks, stolen glances, and unexpected moments bring them closer. But just as Jaxon begins to realize he genuinely likes her, Ava finds out about the bet.
