**My Entry for AMLKoski's Give Back Contest: Bitter Winter** Alexandra Winters didn't have a problem --she had a diagnosis. It just so happened that her ADHD made it necessary for her to take amphetamines, and it just so happened that her school --her dream, perfect life, cinderella-school-- had a very strict drug-free policy. No exceptions. It was fine for a while. But as with most things, Karma tends to catch up with you and the consequences for her actions might be too bitter of a pill to swallow.Complete
Crossing Hearts- A Maidstone Love Story
In the small town of Maidstone, Kent, where teenage lives intersect in the familiar corridors of school, Alessia Russo stands out as one of the most popular girls in Year 10. Known for her confidence, athletic prowess, and close-knit circle of friends, Alessia has always kept her distance from the more infamous crowd at school-especially Jasper, one of the most notorious boys in her year. Jasper, whose reputation precedes him due to his wild antics, rumours about his parents, and his early experiences with love, has always been on the fringes of Alessia's world, despite both of them having attended the same school since Year 7. But when fate places Alessia and Jasper next to each other in their first English class of Year 10, sparks fly-though not in the way anyone would expect. Forced to work together, the two are thrown into a world of shared glances, reluctant teamwork, and a connection neither of them saw coming. As the day unfolds, their paths cross again when Jasper and his twin brother, Casper, are asked to assist in the girls' PE lesson, which happens to involve a football match-a sport Alessia excels at. With Alessia on the field and Jasper on the sidelines, the lines between rivalry and attraction blur, setting the stage for a relationship that will challenge both of their expectations. Read this book that starts from the time Alessia was forced to sit next Jasper in English to now Alessia playing professionally for Arsenal and England in the happy long-term relationship with Jasper who works for the Arsenal Womens social media team.Complete
