The Then- Alicia Hawk


All Alicia ever wanted to do was somehow scrape through high school by keeping her head held low, studying enough to get good grades and talk only when required and the minute she will be done with high school, she will finally take control of her life and burst into this whole other world in pursuit of what she is looking for...or at least that was what she hoped for. 

Within a matter of seconds on an average boring day, her life completely changes...she gets discovered leaving her exposed and prone to high school madness. The sudden turn of events leads her to discover more about herself and take charge even before she graduates, only wanting to escape sooner.

Brody's Girl by still_just_me

A shy high school senior jock and a closed-off girl battling an immune disorder fake a relationship to win a social media contest. Being shy isn't easy, especially when you're the new kid at school. Scotts Valley's football program is subpar compared to my last school's team, but the starters underestimate my all-conference skills. Girls eye me like fresh meat. Mom's cooking has the fire department on speed dial, and her game cheering makes me want to crawl under the bleachers. In the middle of all this stress, I'm still so tongue-tied that I can't talk to anyone. Scotts Valley High's 'Golden Couple' competition-which I want no part of-grates my nerves. I want to play football and baseball, then continue whatever gets me a college scholarship. Only Paige treats me as a normal person. People at school say she's quiet and closed-off, but she's nice to me. She's hiding her awesome self under baggy clothes and the brightest, pinkest hair I've ever seen. I don't understand why she's picked on, and I don't like it. Her medical bills are mounting, so I'm doing something about it. Paige and I pretend to date to remove ourselves from the rumor mill and win the Golden Couple's cash prize. What I don't expect is to catch feelings for my 'first trust,' the first friend I can open up to and be myself around...my girl Paige. This story is complete! 13+ Content: this story contains swearing, kissing, handholding & cuddling.

You Are the Shell to My Tortoise | ✓ by LotteStarburst

Nolan, an unapproachable guy who ignores the existence of all his schoolmates, sleeps in all of his classes. Normally, this wouldn't be Chelsea Arnold's problem--she does her best to pay attention in class and attends gym like a good, normal student. Unfortunately, she just so happens to be his assigned desk partner in many classes. She's frequently forced to wake him in English class and ends up earning the unofficial title of Nolan's Wake-up Alarm--a title that nobody in the entire school covets. The last thing she wants is to interact with him more than she absolutely has to. One day, their gym teacher sends her to bring him back to class, which he always skips for some reason. When she accidentally shines her flashlight in his sleeping face, it triggers a chain of events that gradually intertwines their lives together. It's hard to be a normal student when you start befriending the school oddball. It doesn't help that he has more secrets than the Big Ben has stairs. ----- Complete.

An Unexpected Moment by caromerri

... that changes everything Sarah was starting her junior year of high school. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw a pretty average blonde haired, blue eyed, teenager. She was neither in the popular group, nor one of the many cliched outsiders. Sarah was a nobody. She liked to blend in and lay low. It was her way out of not only this town, but her house. No one knew it, but her father was a high functioning alcoholic that often took his anger out on his family. With her older sister now in college, it had turned to her more often. Laying low in general was a good strategy. Across town, Ryan was prepping for his final year in high school. While he wasn't the stereotypical quarterback of the football team, he did fit into the popular crowd. His sports of choice included basketball and soccer, either of which might line him up for a scholarship next year. Ryan had a group of close friends and a lot of adoring acquaintances. It wasn't easy juggling his athletics and keeping the grades up, but he was just that good. The supporting parents didn't hurt either. It might be a cliché romance, but it will be fun to see what the year and beyond holds. ------------------------------------------ This is a story I wrote years ago, or at least partially wrote. As I transcribe it here, I have tried to update it a bit and give the characters/story more depth than what I had when I was younger. Hopefully it all gets pulled together!
