College freshman Lakin Martin juggles sports, classes, and romance. What can go wrong, well the better question is what didn't go wrong. Lakin will have to learn to navigate the waters of adulthood. She doesn't make it easy on herself, but she is determined on one thing at least, to live her life. Whether it's good or bad, it's still hers. She has a boyfriend who is less than driven, and a crush that attends college with her that is very motivated. She is learning who to trust, and becoming a responsible member of society. In between being a model citizen, she is a teen who wants to live and enjoy it! Yolo! **Please comment and leave feedback, what you like, don't like, typos, etc. I am working on the next installments as I go. I'm going to try to have each chapter be at least 3000 characters now that I have begun developing the story. Let me know what you would like to see out of the characters, etc!

"Are you sure you're okay, sweetie?" she asks. I take the ice pack back. I nod, but it hurts. My brain feels jostled by the littlest movements. "Yeah," I gasp, holding in any acknowledgment of pain. "I'm fine. Thanks." She glances down, and I catch her eyeing my bruised shins. They took the brunt of the impact. "Football," I explain. She nods. "That's a rough sport," she says. A pause. She walks back to her desk. Then, she stops. She turns around. She looks me in the eyes. Her face is solemn. "Hit 'em harder," she instructs. I nod and almost smile. "I will." *********************************************** It's 1998, and seventeen-year-old Stephanie "Stevie" Rogers is attempting the unthinkable: she wants to be the first female football player at Truman High. Too bad the team, headed by her ex and a sexist coach, won't let it happen. Then of course there's her sexist step-dad, who can't know she's playing football or her life as she knows it would end. If it weren't for her cute guitar-playing best friend, Calvin, all hope might be lost. But with his help, and the discovery of a secret so scandalous it could rock the entire school, she may finally get her time under the stadium lights. *************************************************************************** "You're outnumbered. You need allies if you're gonna survive the season. These guys are gonna have your back. You need them." "I don't need anyone," I insist. "Ha," he hiccups. "Yes, actually, you do." He ploinks me on the nose. I scowl. "No one is invincible." I continue to scowl. He sighs. "Just trust me on this one. Okay?" My face softens a little. He's just trying to help. "Fine," I comply. "But don't expect me to smile about it." He grins. "That's too bad. You're pretty when you smile." "Shut up."
