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

How to Stay Afloat by Reeyu97

Fallon's sole ambition in life is to escape her miserable hometown once and for all. She dreams of driving away in her convertible and leaving her painful past behind. Just one problem, her beloved convertible needs a serious overhaul before she can drive it anywhere, and car repairs cost money, a lot of money. The kind of money she doesn't have. Archer Hastings moved to town last year. He's quiet, perpetually brooding, and always has a hood drawn over his head. He's the school outcast, a recluse. He also has a knack for resurrecting hopeless vehicles. There's just one catch - he adamantly refuses to help Fallon with hers. However, the gears of fate start turning when Fallon discovers Archer's hidden weakness. He's in love with their head cheerleader, Caroline Williams. But Fallon has a secret too, and her little secret just might help Archer get out of his whole unrequited love situation. So Archer and Fallon make a pact. He fixes her convertible for her, and she helps him win over Caroline. Easy, right? Except, as Fallon spends time with Archer, she begins to see a side of him that defies his mysterious facade. There's a warmth beneath his quiet demeanor, an intensity in his gaze that sparks something unexpected within her. Now she just needs to make sure she gets her car fixed without getting her heart broken.

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)*
