"What happened today?" My dad looked up from his food.

"What do you mean? It wasn't that bad." I knew he was talking about pitching.

"Not that bad isn't good enough. You're on varsity for a reason, I need you to do better than not that bad." Both of us were on edge and it was obvious.

"The season has barely even started, Dad, everyone is rusty."

"This isn't rusty, this is not caring." He raised his voice.

"You think I don't care? This is my senior year, of course I care." I raised mine.

"You're not showing me that. You have to do better, or there's gonna be a nice seat for you on the bench all season."

"Well I'm sorry, Dad. I'm sorry I can't be Brayden!"

It's Luke Davis' senior baseball season, and he's got a lot on his plate. His father and coach named him Varsity Captain, his brother's overseas, plus his crush's brother hates him. Luke has to find his way to navigate all this and more. He's got his support system and he's still got the one thing he cares most about: Baseball. For Luke, it all goes back to The Diamond.

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. ... Gloria is like any other 17 year old girl getting ready for summer break, but this summer is going to be completely different. Gloria has been playing baseball since she could remember and has been invited to a national baseball camp. Being a girl in the world of a male-dominated sport, she couldn't even count how many times people have told her she needed to find something else to do. Her dad kept her playing though, even after he died a few years ago, that didn't stop Gloria from doing what she loved. The only problem is she is the only girl at the camp for three months. Enter the problem of suddenly having to share a room, more specifically, sharing with Miles Harris. Gloria must deal with Miles, a big shot and arrogant jerk, and all the other horny, testosterone driven baseball players, who just might push Gloria off the edge of sanity. Trigger warning: mention and vague description of SA

-"Why are you crying?" What, I didn't know I was crying. -"Come on." He offers a hand to help me up. -"Stay away... from me." I get up on my own a grunt escaping my lips when I feel pain in my knees. -"Your knees!" He crouches down to look at them up close. -"Oh don't act as if you care." I look down and see he has wet hair, which is reasonable since he came out of the bathroom. *Swoop* He scoops me up, my injured knees on his left and my head rests on his right shoulder. I hitch as he picks me up. -"What do you think you're doing? Put me down this instant!" I try to wiggle out of his arms, but it's useless, he holds me tighter to his chest. He gently places me on the bed, and I sit on the edge, I instantly throw my hand to his face intending to slap him. As if it were muscle memory he blocks my hand and gently holds it. He crouches down not breaking eye contact. -"Stella, I'm... sorry. I acted out on you." I know Jacob, and that probably was hard for him to admit. -"Let me treat your knees." He places a gentle hand over my wound. ~ ~ ~ ~ Her Dad was murdered fighting for what was right, her mom didn't love her dad all that much...or her, she plans to follow her dad's footsteps even though that might lead her to death.

"Hey! She already said she was sorry. What more do you want?!" I screamed loudly in his face. His face turned from angry to shocked. No one had ever yelled at him that way at school before. He narrowed his eyes at me."She ruined a very expensive shirt so she needs to be punished for it," he responded, his green eyes lit with hate and anger. "So?! You probably have a million other shirts just like it. You spoiled rich boys have no respect for others. You think you're better than everyone else. Well, let me tell you, you are the worst of the worst." I said. I couldn't believe what I had just said. I realized I had given myself a death sentence as the words flew out my mouth. Duke was quiet for a few moments then he finally replied. "You better watch what you say girly," he said as he brushed past my shoulder. His two buddies following him from behind. I couldn't believe what I just did. It felt so invigorating. I felt as though I had an adrenalin rush. I knew that this feeling would not last for long though because I just gave the H3 a new target. Me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rosette just wanted to have a nice and quiet high school life, however, high school life at Highland High Private school is anything but nice and quiet. Rosette was able to go to this school because she received a scholarship however, the school is run by three rich boys named the H3 (Handsome three).

One day Rosette decided it was enough and confronted Duke, the leader of the H3. After that, her whole life began to change.

Two Trouble makers, have finally fully pissed off not only all their teachers but their parents too. In total that only equaled one thing... Boarding school... Not in the shitty part of Denver but the nice part of Denver. Finney Blake. A typical seventeen year old boy... Besides the fact that he attempted to burn down the school twice, smokes a lot, and loves to annoy the crap out of his teachers and dad. Finney didn't grow up exactly with sunshine and rainbows considering he lost his mom to suicide at only six years old. He also grew up on the shitty side of Denver, the side where crimes were normal, the side where no one gave a fuck. That was normal, until he not only got caught smoking, but trying to light some kid on fire... Fun... Robin Arellano. That one tough seventeen year old kid to not ever mess with unless you want to look deformed for the rest of your life. Robin didn't mess with shit. He had girls fawning over him every step he went. Not that it bothered him. Finney Blake bothered him, Finney just did with his annoying laugh and stupid smirk he had at parties when he as was high. Robin just didn't mess with Finney, like ever. And Finney didn't mess with him... Well until they got sent to Brookesville Boarding School, that's when he just wanted to mess with him... But the only reason Robin got sent was he finally had sent the tenth kid to a hospital for busting him up real bad... *WARNING BTW* So if you're reading this i'm trying something a bit new, so more detailed stuff...If you have read my other things...
