There was a limited amount of spots on the swim team, and Lilly was determined to get one. She tries her hardest during her race, but still comes in third. There was only two spots per race. The coach then decided who would be on the team. When Lilly is given a spot, she is surprised. Shouldn't the girl who beat her get the spot? Lilly realized the only reason she was picked was because she was best friends with the coach's daughter. Should Lilly give up her spot for the girl who deserves it more? Or should she keep her spot after all her hard work?

He looked at me daringly, and then suddenly smashed his lips against mine, he sucked on my bottom lip making me let out another moan, I kissed him back, but then he abruptly broke the kiss too soon, leaving me feeling dizzy.

As their rivalry heats up, so do their consequences. Stuck with each other for a full year, they'll find themselves spending more and more time together than ever before.

The Water Girl
I'm the odd one out... the outsider... the water girl of the football team because I can't play any sports. Whenever I attempt to play sports, my two left feet hold me back. "Don't fucking touch me again, water girl. Now I'll have to scrub my arm until it bleeds to get your nastiness off." I'm not sure how I have been deemed the nasty girl in school, but it has been this way for a few years now. Thankfully, this is my last year at this school, then I am off to college, hopefully far away from here. I have sent in all my college applications and am just waiting for the right one to accept me. I look over at Marie when she says something else to me. Then my best friend pipes in, telling Marie to take her cheerleading ass on over to the jocks and get her pussy sucked and leave me alone. "God -Sydney, do you have to be so vulgar?" "Ah, River, don't start your good girl shit with me. One of us must show them assholes whose queen is around here, and it obviously will not be you."Complete
Flying High
What happens when untold feelings are told when it's too late? What will happen if a person ignores their friend and leaves after they poured their heart out to them? This is the story of Dylan O'Brien and Caroline Abernathy. A story which begins from now and then it goes back it time explaining how they slowly fell for each other, it will be described in both of their points of view( Mostly Caroline's thought since Dylan is an actual person and I don't know how he thinks). I'm going to try and be realistic with this story like using a few facts based on my knowledge of things. I know this sound like a classic story where they get married and have kids but it's not how I'm planning it. I don't own anything besides the text so please you can copy anything you want but not the text. Thank you! =]Complete
