Okay, so some of you might be thinking this:
"ᗯᕼY ᗯOᑌᒪᗪ I ᖇEᗩᗪ ᗩᗷOᑌT ᔕKᗩTEᗷOᗩᖇᗪIᑎG? ᔕOᑌᑎᗪᔕ ᒪIKE Tᖇᗩᔕᕼ TO ᗷE ᕼOᑎEᔕT."
I understand completely why you might think this, but if you do think this... You have the wrong idea.
This book is about the lives of four teenage boys who look after and care for each other, regardless of their past and faults.
The skateboarding crew is something that keeps them together, but skateboarding isn't really the main focus here. ᖴᖇIEᑎᗪᔕᕼIᑭ is the main focus.
TEEᑎ ᖴIᑕTIOᑎ, with some ᗩᑕTIOᑎ and a little bit of ᖇOᗰᗩᑎᑕE (probably)😏

Hockey Boys vs Hockey Girls
"Nolan..." I say as his lips meet my neck. He gently kisses up and down my neck. "Stop." I say. "You're not my boyfriend, stop acting like it." "Oh kitten." He says while nibbling on my earlobe. I stifle a moan. "When will you realize that you are mine?" // If there is one way to show a boy who's boss, it's to smash them into the boards. Kaelin Summers knows that better than anyone. If there is one way to show a girl who's boss, it's to mess around with her. Nolan Hunter knows that better than anyone. She is a tough hockey girl who sticks with her team and has a slight problem with swearing. He is a rough hockey boy who leads his team and has a major problem with swearing. "They are all assholes and players." She says. "They are all so hot." He says. "I hate him." "I love her." // When neighbours are rival hockey captains with a unknown attraction to each other, it's a recipe for disaster. All Kaelin wants is to win the state championship and protect her team from the nasty hockey boys. But when Nolan Hunter and his two equally hot best friends, Ethan and Axel, come into the picture, things get a little more complicated. All of them have short fuses and bad tempers, and the protectiveness that only someone who belongs to a team can have. Kaelin has to resist his charm. Nolan has to break down her walls. *LOTS OF SWEARING READ AT YOUR OWN RISK*Complete![The Air Out Of [Wattys2018 shortlist]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/149207169-256-k77498.jpg)
The Air Out Of [Wattys2018 shortlist]
*wattys 2018 shortlist* *writer's awards sci-fi winner* It all started with an accident. Through vast consolidation begets a single empire bordering on the mere idea of war with an enemy threatening to destroy its entire existence, starting from the inside. Many call it tyranny, others, vengeful menace, but it's taking them down. One by one. A series of events follow, including a spy, a plan destined to fail and a desperate offer that puts everything on the line. She wasn't what they were hoping for. But they take what they can get. Once rejected by the place they called home, five estranged teens jump at the opportunity for an escape. Thrust into an unknown underwater society at random, it's a gamble for life and death, win or lose. Fast forward to friendship, rivalry, loyalty, borderline sorcery, and a second home that'll change their lives as they know it. But as the days grow by, and the game of cat and mouse breaks its final straw, blending in a world not meant for them is not as easy as it seems. Especially when you try to save a colony whilst saving yourself. *this story is/will be rewriting.

The Bikers
"Are you sure you wanna do this?" He asks, his hazel eyes grazing over my tear streaked face illuminated by the moonlight. "I've never been so sure of anything in my entire life." "Carter, this is a big decision. Once you're in, you can never get back out." I wipe my face deliberately as he waits for my answer. No more pain, no more bullying. Maybe this is what I need. A new beginning. A chance to start over. "I want this, Nathan. I want in." I say. He takes me by the wrist and leads me over to his dark motorcycle. Putting his helmet on my head and strapping it under my chin, he stares into my large, brown eyes. "Everything's gonna be fine. I promise." He nods with reassurance as he tucks a curl behind my ear. Another tear escapes my eye and he quickly wipes it away. This is the most sincere Nathan has ever been with me and I feel nervous, but excited. He takes my hands and wraps them around his toned abs before we both sputter off into the moonlight. The applewood California breeze whips my face as we speed down the motorway. This is it. •••••••••••••• Carter Wyatt has just been moved to sunny Pasadena, California with her single dad. After her mother's passing and her older brother's death, things just weren't the same.

With a handsome and dangerous gang leader and a jealous blonde Biker always on her case, school becomes a tale of sacrifice and endurance, and maybe a little romance if she's lucky. When given the opportunity of a lifetime, will she give in and become a member of one of the most feared gangs in the west or will she stay true to herself and keep out of trouble?Complete
Winners Don't Have Bad Days (Watty 2020 Winner, Romance)
When a total stranger knows what eats you, maybe they are your one true love. Even if you don't know it yet. || On Friday the 13th, two twenty-something, Daya and Mike, end up in a mutually beneficial arrangement: she is his caregiver after he breaks his foot; he provides room&board to help her out with a teeny-tiny cash flow problem. Not a whiff of a romance, strictly business. And for a while, all is good... for about five minutes, that is. What can an overweight man, a video game obsessed librarian, know about her quitting a challenging sport of figure skating, Daya scoffs. He needs to get off her case and sort out his binge eating! What does a celery-chewing skating diva care about his failure as a PhD candidate, Mike wonders. She is just replacing her dreams with his non-existing problems instead of pursuing her one true passion! With the two already teetering on the brink of mutually assured destruction, oil splashes onto the flames when Daya resumes her never-ending quest for skating triumph at Canadian Nationals. (Well, that should make Mike happy, right? Right?) But isn't there *something* worth fighting for *together*? Like, you know, love? COMPLETED. First Published: August 19, 2019 Trigger warning: This story contains themes of eating disorders and body image insecurity (male).Complete

WATTYS 2020 WINNER THIS IS NOT A PAID STORY. ONLY THE BONUS CHAPTERS ARE. YOU CAN READ THE MAIN STORY FOR FREE! When Brenna and Shea, two rival hockey players, have to collaborate to take down a common enemy, they soon discover love is a ruthless game. ******* Brenna Harrison, a gifted hockey player, wants to prove her worth in the hockey world. She knows the consequences of playing on the boys' hockey team: degrading comments, sexist rules, and jealous boys, but she's determined to undermine the patriarchal foundation of her favourite sport. Shea Smith is also a gifted hockey player... but he sees Brenna as a threat. He believes she doesn't belong in the boys' league, despite her astounding skills; he's jealous. So, when the opportunity to potentially eject her from the league presents itself, Shea takes the opportunity. He agrees to a bet with his enemy, Connor Watt; a bet that will break Brenna's heart and make her not want to play hockey. At least... that's what he thinks. Soon, he's regretting the decision and decides to tell Brenna. She's furious, but also sees this as an opportunity to have the root of the problem ejected from the league. Brenna and Shea agree to take Connor down and expose him for who he truly is: as sexist jerk. But with bending the rules, there comes a price.Complete
