Every princess has something in the way of their Prince. Ariel's father kept her from going into the real world. Pocahontas's dad forbid her from interacting with the white men. My story is something like that, but it's reality. That means you can't predict that at the end, everyone will change their ways and have a happily ever after. No, this is reality and sometimes you have to Just Take The Shot.

She stayed in California for two years, then came back in the beginning of summer. At that time, another incident happened, sending her back to California. After another two years, she returned with a love of soccer that she made over four years. The problem is, her dad coaches football at the high school in Delaware, and hates soccer. How will she deal with keeping soccer a secret and finding a Prince Charming?

I wrote this when I was younger. It's when I first started writing mature scenes so it's a tad cringy and super rushed. Just to warn you. In Ivory Jenkins senior year, she wants to commit herself to soccer. She had dreamt of this since she was the age of five. The only thing that kept her from playing soccer, was her parents. What they didn't know is that she has been making money to pay to play for a club team. Scouts have already seen her but want to see her play for her school, which means she can no longer play soccer behind her parents back. They had money, they were set but definitely far from rich. She has to maintain a 4.0 GPA, which means, no parties, no boyfriends, and no soccer. Ivory finally gets her parents to agree to let her try out for the team. Ivory has until February to get herself ready for tryouts. So she did the only thing she could think of. She asked the captain of the boys soccer team to train her. Ryder Stevens. The captain of the soccer team. He has money, looks, and girls. Well, he isn't the player of the school if that's what you're thinking. He has relationships but doesn't sleep around. He doesn't like full commitment. That all changes when Ivory walks into his life. *TRIGGER WARNINGS WILL BE IN CERTAIN SPOTS OF THE STORY* *SEXUAL CONTENT*Complete

The Line Drive
"'Bye.' I say after Edwin's kiss. He gives me a small smile that honestly looks more like a grimace. It makes me a little uncomfortable having him kiss me in the library. Edwin walks away, and someone standing in the corner of my vision makes me turn in my seat. A tall, muscular man is standing there, his arms crossed, staring at me. He's got dark brown hair, perfect eyebrows, and soft brown eyes. Honestly, he's gorgeous. And since I've read, and edited, about five articles about him, I recognize him immediately. Dane Sawyer. He's the best pitcher on our baseball team. He's hoping to go pro, although I'm not totally sure what the process is surrounding that, since I don't retain much of the information from the articles that I read about him. I know that he's also a junior, and that his girlfriend is hot as fuck. I've seen them together on campus. They're hard to miss because they are easily one of the most attractive couples that I've ever seen. I'm convinced that I must be hallucinating, because he makes eye contact and walks towards me. 'That was awkward.'" ~~~ Junior year is starting off chaotic for Mackenzie Brooks as she steps into her role as the editor-in-chief of the college's newspaper.

Different in more ways that one, when the two run into each other in the library, it's an immediate disaster. But when Dane convinces Mackenzie to be his tutor, both of their lives begin to change.Complete
You Promised
Hey...I'm Faith Taylor. I was just entering my freshman year of high school. Whilst doing so, I was starting new activities outside of school, which means new cute boys, right? I often find myself falling into spirals of drama and love, so it's no surprise when I fell into another deck of it. Surprisingly, the thing that changed my world this year were many simple--eh not really--promises. Will I ever find my way to a normal high school life? ••• "Hey," he smiled. "It's cool seeing you somewhere other than tennis for once." "Yeah, you too," I smiled back at Dylan. "By the way...I never properly thanked you for helping Matt back there, so...thanks." "Nothing less for the besties!" I laughed, yet he had a split second of disappointment on his face. Speaking of Matt, things were still kind of iffy from the football game, but as I looked over at Dylan's table, an idea popped into my head. "Hey, do you think my friend and I could sit by you guys?"Complete
