boy cute football love romance sports teen texas wattys2017

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.All Rights Reserved

What I like about you by HM_author

Danielle Martin isn't a typical girl in high school. She doesn't wear tight clothes or pounds of makeup, she isn't popular and isn't really a big fan of all the attention. Books and Netflix are her Friday nights, staying home and eating sweets and junk. She's small and vulnerable, shy because she doesn't have the life everyone thinks she does. But that all changes... Now, Blake Daniels is a stereotypical high school guy. Captain of the football team, unbearably attractive, and one of the most popular guys to walk the school. To anyone else, his life is amazing. But to him, it sucks. Family issues and lost battles leave him weak and vulnerable to the ones who want to break him more. But that also all changes... Will their newfound love save them from the struggles they face? Can they survive with all the drama and rumors being thrown at them? It all comes down to one thing in the end. Can they make it together?

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.

Queen of the Misfits (Rewriting!) by Nyanbow

Dawn Mitchell is an anime-watching, manga-reading, all around geekish "emo misfit" - as she's so often called. She's tormented and broken inside, but happy. She and her twin brothers live with their aunt, as their parents have passed on. Dawn is not considered popular, nor feels well-liked, but she does have some great friends that love and cherish her. I know what you're thinking, "This story is just another 'I wanna be popular' or 'please notice me/I need help' stories", but it's not. This is just another high school story about a girl who struggles with relationships while trying to make the best out of her every day situations. So... When the four most popular football players at school suddenly drift their way into Dawn and her friend's lives, of course she handles it like any other (hormonal) teenager would; however, two of them aren't exactly how they seem... along with her closest friend, Clayton. Let's see where this leads, shall we? *Top contender for being rewritten/updated! (01/06/2025)*

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. Heartbroken and humiliated, she cuts him off completely. Jaxon, for the first time in his life, has to fight for something real. But can he prove to Ava that she was never just a bet to him?
