"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.

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.

'Bad Boys Ain't Good But Good Boys Ain't No Fun.' "Don't look, but it's the king of being horny behind you." I automatically looked behind me, making Autumn scoff at me. She shook her head. "Ace Ford." Autumn's face retorted in disgust. "Every girl's 'dream guy'." Her fingers made quotation marks. "Let me just tell you Jane, that boy is disgusting." Ace leaned against the railing of the bleachers. He pushed his dark brown hair back and smirked as he talked to one of the blonde cheerleaders. "How so?" I questioned, turning back towards her. She raised an eyebrow. "Just look at the guy, doesn't he just scream 'I won't have sex with you and immediately ditch you unless you have dubble D's and the IQ of a goldfish?'" "He can't be that bad." I said, causing her to snort. ___________ Warning: Very Mild cursing. That's why I'm making it PG13 guys. Read at own risk.

"Let's play a game." "What kind of game." "It's to see how much we can annoy each other until the other wants to switch rooms." "You're on." This is a story about Sugawara Koshi's younger brother, m/n (Male name) is a second-year that attends Shiratroizawa and has to share a dorm with a salty setter. the two roommates are too stubborn to lose the game... but what if it becomes more than a game... what if they grow feelings for each other. ⚠ TRIGGER WARNINGS ⚠: Homophobia possible Abuse Swearing Shirabu Kenjiro x Male Reader I honestly don't see many male readers so I made my own Also, m/n is going to be in the art club bc why not if some sentences start with lowercases just let them be 'cause I'm too lazy to capitalize everything. There might be some lemon in this story. It depends on if I can write it or not (turns out I can kind of write it and it is in this story) if I do end up writing it any feedback and/or criticism will be accepted. Along with if I get something wrong I'm sorry and please correct me. Credits to: @Psycho-Monster for the help with most of the ideas that male this ff✨spicy✨ this is not edited so have fun trying to figure out some of the sentences 😙✌ Have a good day and start reading I suck at descriptions can you tell.
