english filipino romance

How can a prestine (works for her own sake) girl like me get into a delinquent fighting school made specially for boys of the elite?
I undergo through scholarship because my parents left us and I use my salary to pay for my two younger sibling's studies and food. There was no other choice. I've tried to enroll to schools who accept scholarship but unfortunately required extra bills and I have to work extra hours to pay for them (which will lessen my time on studying and I might lose my scholarship due to this).  

So I ended up in Blakely High, a so-called private school meant solely for the elite which specializes martial arts and fighting events where young brutal teenage boys fight with their lives on the line. It's an all boys school but since it was their anual golden anniversary they decided to changed from a boys only school to a mixed gender school.  Being someone who had to spend every moment either working or taking care of my younger brother and sister, I accepted and was granted a full 3-year scholarship regardless of grades. 

Unfortunately, I was the only girl. A girl surrounded by delinquent and arrogant boys who later on might kick me with one of their flying kicks or whatever upper-cut converse they might think of doing. So I stay quiet. You can say I'm like a rose sprouting from a desert (yeah that's what they call me). 

No matter how much I want to quit and runaway my life and my sibling's life is at my grades. Grades which hold my future. 

But after meeting Theo Blakely, the bloody champion of Martial Arts in Blakely High's league (and co-owner of the school), drenching him in soy sauce, calling him a scumbag, and being a witness to see him torture someone when he was drunk...my scholarship could prove fatal.All Rights Reserved

My Best Friend's Brother ✓ by Aria_King

"You should really tell him soon," Austin said as he walked closer to me. "It's complicated," I sighed, avoiding eye contact with the greek god standing before me. "Try me," Austin took another step towards me and once again I moved away from him. My back hit the wall, preventing me from moving any further. "It's just that I didn't want to upset him if it turned out that this wasn't going anywhere," "So now what?" He asked. "Violet I like you a lot, this isn't just some fling," he took a final step toward me and placed both hands on the wall besides my head so I was trapped. I gulped at his words. "Do you really mean it? Because if I'm going to tell him and risk our friendship I need to know that I'm not going to catch you making out with some cheerleader next week," Austin leaned his head forward and nuzzled into my neck. "I want to try and make this work," he said huskily before trailing kisses up my neck and along my jaw. "Okay, I'll tell him," *** Like most of the female population at her school, Violet is completely and utterly head over heels in love with the sex god that is Austin Hendrix. Unlike most of the female population at her school, Violet just so happens to be best friends with Austin's brother, essentially meaning that Austin is off limits, not that that matters since Austin wouldn't even breathe in Violet's direction right? Wrong. After having Violet literally fall for him at a concert, Austin can't seem to get the girl with the sarcastic tongue and muddy converse out of his mind. Throw in Violet's over controlling dad, a phyco ex booty call and the fact that Austin has a knack for charming girls out of their dresses and things may get a little ... complicated. ** As much as I wish I took the picture of the sex god on my cover picture I didn't so credit to whoever that lucky person is**

Marito Jin x Reader by Ariya_Wisteria

"You are a woman, and a woman is poised, elegant, and never strays from the path set out for her." "You fight for me, and no one else." "You are not someone who is given a choice, only a purpose that we at Eden Academy decide." Y/n L/n was told this over and over at each opening ceremony of this wretched school. Ever since she lost her parents, she's been going to Eden Academy since fourth grade, and it was hell on earth. Years later, after flunking a few grades because she wasn't meeting their standards, they finally polished her into the 'perfect' student. Y/n was adrift in life, letting them push and pull her on the path they designed for her, but she'd always been drawn to gangs and street fights, especially the ones in her area. Then she received a letter or more precisely her parent's will. They had left her their old house in her hometown. It was like the escape she has been waiting for, no yearning for! She didn't think twice and packed her bags and left the Academy in the dead of night. When she begins her first day of high school outside of that Academy, she begins to second-guess herself. It was unlike anything she'd ever seen. The teacher was a wimp, and there was no system what-so-ever. But what will happen when a certain leader takes an interest in her hidden strength after she 'accidentally' sucker punches him? - 𐌔 - 🎶 "Diamonds" - Rihanna She's gentle when she touches him, like he's something breakable - which makes no sense, because everyone else gets the fists. But with her? Jin feels like something precious. She doesn't shine to be seen - she shines because she burns. And he'd throw hands with the whole world just to keep her light from going out.

Her Secret in the Graveyard: School Version by Anixo_Alana

[READ DESC!!] ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾ ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☁︎ Alright, just in case you actually liked HSITG, (which I highly doubt), I'll give you the version I wrote on my school chromebook. Just a little warning, the writing sucks. I made this version last year, so don't expect it to be like how my writing is now. I guess I should've continued my book, huh? UPDATED DESC: I've always thought that the vibrance of colors were truly real. The way blue was used, it gave me a sense of motivation. Although, I can't seem to remember the outside world anymore. The way everything seems to darken, I can't even remember how I look like. It's feeding on me, I know it. INSPIRED HEAVILY FROM OMORI. Most of the story thats comes from Omori is actually written on here, so I'll revise it to the best to my ability so it makes more sense. I don't want to just make it seem like I copy and pasted the whole plot of Omori and just changed the characters. That would be wrong. CHANGE OF PLANS: Yea no, I'm leaving it the way it is. I'll only add bad words to it bc I couldn't on my school chrome-book. I'll continue my newer version of HSITG after I complete transferring this one. ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾ ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☁︎ Other inspiration: Madoka Magica An actual instrument I play (you'll see later) Idk there was something else that inspired this mess I forgor

Do you really have to rub it in my face?" I snapped, my voice shaking with fury. Olivia just smirked, stepping closer until her warm minty breath fanned against my lips. My pulse went wild, betraying me. "I'm only just getting started, angel," she whispered in that husky voice of hers. "And I'll stop... the moment I hear you moan my name." ๑ An angel and a rebel. A scholarship girl and a playgirl. Can love survive when it's least expected-or will it destroy them both?

~My Teacher Hits Me~ (Book 1) [Rewritten] by JadeHero330

~~~~~ "C'mon, cupcake. Why are you always trying to avoid me? All you're doing is delaying the inevitable." "And what's that?" Rylan spits, annoyed. He brushes her hair gently behind her ear. Rylan flinches when Blake's hand makes contact with her skin. "I enjoy taking what I can't have, especially when it's a challenge. I want what I want. And you...are something I desperately want." ~~~~~ "Do you think you're special, Rylan? Are you really so stupid that you think you're better than me--that you have a say in what goes on in my classroom?" Mr. Quinn asks in a deep, menacing voice. He glares at Rylan and digs his fingers into the skin on her forearms. "You don't. You. are. nothing. So you better get that through your thick, little skull." Mr. Quinn presses his face closer to Rylan's so she has to turn her head to escape his hot breath. He lets go of her left arm and grabs her chin roughly, forcing her to look at him. "I. abhor. you. And all students like you. I'm in the position of power here. You'd do well to remember that." ~~~~~ If Rylan had it her way, she'd be going to school, hanging out with her friends in her free time, and returning home every day to two loving parents and the safety of her home. But if life has taught her anything, it's that you rarely ever get to have things your way. Her school life is quickly becoming a nightmare. Her English teacher is emotionally unstable under the professional front he puts up and Rylan has managed to catch the eye of the resident "bad boy" and his cronies, which doesn't seem to be boding well for her. Rylan can't even count on her house to be a safe haven anymore--not while her nightmares can penetrate walls. It's not just her happiness that's at stake here. It's her life. But can she stand up to the people who scare her most, or will she end up just another statistic? --------- © 2015 Miranda JK

Beneath by immoralLaurel

His lips trail down my neck, sending shivers all over. "I love looking at you," he breathes, brushing the hair off my shoulders. "Will you let me?" My wild heart seeks his. "Yes." For a long moment, I just feel his eyes. Then, his hands. They skim down my spine, bowing my body into his. When his lips find my throat, I lean back into his hands, my eyes closing. He kisses between my breasts, then across them, swirling his tongue and kissing, always kissing. My fingers curling into his hair. His response is a smile against my skin. He pulls my arms out to kiss them, all the way to my wrists...all the way back. He presses affection into my skin, injects trust into my veins. Then he eases me to my back and does it all over again. ******* An obscure tutoring opportunity brings Camila closer to three friends: Noah, Jed, and Fox.
