Sweat dripping down my face, arms, and legs. My breath hinges as Hailee and Sophia pass the ball in. There's approximately 1 minute and 24 seconds left in the fourth quarter. All the screaming fans fill the bleachers, our school colours bouncing up and down mixed in with our rivals. I take a look in the crowd and see my dad, he has one of the biggest smiles on his face. I don't think he's ever been more proud than now. 
     I shake my head and focus back on the game. Hailee comes down the court the ball in her left hand her weak hand. The defense comes back strong with open arms and wide stances. She fakes to the right, goes behind the back, and then through the legs. Hailee made it to the high post, I fake towards the goal, then spin to the corner. As soon as I was open the ball is in my hands. I grip the ball, square up to the goal and put my arms in the air and jump... but before I can tell you what happened let me explain how I got here.

This story is y/n (you) falls in love with a football player (an oc of mine). More info: Y/N is a 16 going on 17 year old female, in her Junior year of high school. It's her first day at a new school, a random person Airdropped her something and they begin to chat. This mystery guy is 17 and also his Junior year and is a football player. She knows nothing about him so she's determined to learn more. What she finds out shocks her completely. Preview: "Y/n! Come on let's go!" "Yeah! You are going to make us late!" "God! I'm coming I'm coming! I just needed to grab something." I said walking out to them. "Is that a book?" "Yeah- I really need to know what happens! I'm almost done with it, once I finish I'll watch the game don't worry." I assured the two of them. "Okay want ever you say." We left to go to the game finding a close-to-the-front seat. The three of us sat, we already bought some drinks and snacks. The game soon started and I began to read. "Player down!" Someone yelled as they ran a crossed the field. My head snapped up to get a look and I saw number 22 sitting up with one leg bent and the other laying on the ground. He seamed calm. "Alright, let's get you up," some one said kneeing next to number 22. "No no, I'm fine. Help them, they may be out, he is not responding to me." 22 insisted. Once the others heard this they ran to the other person, 85 from the other team. 22 glanced at the bleachers, briefly making eye contact with me, he then quickly looked back, almost as if doing a double take. He held the eye contact this time, I gave him a small smile and he gave me a sweet smile. "He smiled at you!" "It was just a smile," I said going back to my book. "You have a crush." "You definitely do, but we won't say anything, yet." I rolled my eyes at both of them. They were right, no, maybe. He was cute, the way his hair fell, and how he put the other player before himself. I thought it was cute.

BOOK 2!!! She was soaked. Her clothes, face, hair, everything was soaked from the rain and I just looked at her. She was breathing heavily but kept eye contact with me anyway. I could see through her shirt but I quickly regain focus. " Are you gonna let me in or not dude" she says biting her lip. As if she planned to come like this alone at night at my house. I pull her in the door by her arm slamming the door shut, about to remind her why she came here.... Isaiah is 19 years old at his university. He plays soccer and one day, after a game, a group of girls approach him. As he was talking to them it didn't take him long to realize they were a grade higher than him. A stare. A stare is what caught his attention when he felt it from the back of the girls. There was a girl in the back who looked at him with such a disgusted look. He had never received this look before so he was puzzled. He then knew that she was gonna be a pain in his ass. That disgusted girl was Hani. She played volleyball and was extremely smart, but she was a very cold person so she had a small group of friends. When she encounters Isiah, she realizes he's the boy that had a traumatic altercation with her little brother. She wants nothing to do with him and only feels disgusted.... Yet they keep meeting? As their rivalry grows something else does too? Attraction? Kinks?... love?

My music cut out causing me to hear a whistle. I stop in my tracks and pull my headphones down to my neck. Turning around, I seen a group of men with one guy who just smirked at me. "You new here beautiful?" one of the guys asked. "What do you think Einstein?" cocking my brow. "Ohh. Challenging? I like." he says walking towards me, about two inches away. "Really?" biting my lip, as he continued walking towards me. He reaches out and grabs my hip, "Mmhmm," smiling down at me. Swiftly, I grab his hand, turn him around, kick him right above the back of his knee, and pushes down so he's on his knees in front of me in a position of which I could brake his arm, "What a shame, 'cause personally, I don't like fuck boys with various STD'S." I look at all the men in the group who had their jaws dropped, all except for one, "Touch me one more time, and I'll brake your arm in two." I stand and kick his back so he falls on the concert. "Anyone else?" they stare at me blankly. "Didn't think so." When fuck boy tries to get up, I take my foot and slam him back down. Looking back at the boys, I say, "Later boys." Then, I turn and leave. ~~~~ Truce Mane is a girl who recently moved to New York with her youngest niece and nephew along with her uncle Mike. Truce went through many things as a child.

Fighting for Rose by whitetigerpaw

-Blake- Rose stands not too far in front of the ring looking at me, her face is pale and my gut twists in ways it never has. She shouldn't be here, why the hell is she here? My hands drop to my side, the victorious feeling once flowing through me is replaced with one of dread. She saw me fighting. ------- -Rose- "Alright. Time for you to go." He says. I feel the pull on my arm as he tries to take me away but my feet feel like they are glued to the ground as I continue to look at Blake. He has a little smirk on his face as he looks over the crowd. A look so completely different than any of the ones I saw the other day. Then our eyes meet, and his smirk drops. He drops his hands that were just held high in victory and looks at me like he's seeing a ghost. The guard pulls harder on my arm and I go flying back into his chest. "Listen here, I don't want to manhandle you, so do as I fucking say. Move." He growls as he pushes me into the crowd of celebrating people. I do what he says and start walking towards the exit, but I look over my shoulder one last time before I'm too far in the crowd to see anything. Blake's hands are fisted by his side and his face is red with anger, his eyes are focused on the hands that are on me pushing me away from him. ----- I am the original owner of this book, please do not copy.

I closed my eyes tightly until I heard laughing. No, I could feel the laughing. My eyes sprang open to find Miles on top of me. I was laying flat on my back in the dirt with my glove with the ball inside pressed against his chest. Miles was not at all fat, but he was 6'2 compared to my barely 5'3. I could feel his chest rumbling and shaking with laughter as I lay humiliated on the ground. "I didn't know you liked being on the bottom," Miles said loudly. The whole field cracked up with that. I struggled under him and shoved him off of me. All of the guys were howling with laughter as I got up and swiped all the dirt off me. "Pervert," I muttered, before tossing the ball out of my glove to hit him in the thigh. I stalked across the field without another word. The whole team was in hysterics as I shoved all my things in my bag and practically ran off to get away. ...

The Alpha's Beta (BOOK 1)

60 parts Complete Mature

"My daughter, will never be in charge of this pack, so get that idea out of your head" I'm absolutely gob smacked, I decide to put the earlier idea from my head into words to see what reaction I would get. With a slight raise in my voice, I put my point across. "And whys that? If Tim wasn't born, I would be next in line for the Alpha's place" "I would give the title over to my brother, our Beta. I would not give the title and the pack over to my little girl!" Oh, I see where this is going, he doesn't think id be able to manage it. Right now I'm seething with rage. My voice again, going louder, with a growl added to it "So you don't think I'd be able to run this pack, because I'm a girl!" I look back at my dad, he's panting while holding back growls, his eyes go black, he's physically shaking trying to hold his wolf form back, he's claws come out, crushing the side of his desk. I carry on looking at him, head held high, I will make my point that I wont back down on this issue. My dad lifts his head and practically shouts so the whole pack can hear him. "The reason why you wont be Alpha is because of what happened the last time another Alpha stepped foot into my territory!"
