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.

Marito Jin x Reader
"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.Complete
Finding Purpose (+18) ✔️
***this book contains suicidal thoughts and tendencies, may not be appropriate for younger audiences*** In which she looks for the purpose of life. Lily Carter's parents died in a car crash leaving her and Laura, girl was depressed long before her parents passed away and with all the problems turning up now, Lily felt more miserable - if that's even possible. With her journey to look for life's purpose and grab the small pinch of HOPE - which is ironically her second name -, will she finally snap at the pressure and finally end it all? or will a small light lit her darkened world of grief and loneliness? * "So you know. The little goth girl who gets bullied is indeed a mess. There's this mess in her head that eats her alive everyday isn't it? What to do now Kaden? Tell the whole neighborhood and recieve an award for taking out a crazy in this world?" I spit like vomit. His eyes warmed up as I finished, "Lily. It isn't like that" "What is it then? People stopped caring... they gave up, why aren't you?" I fought my tears. "Because I feel the need to care. Did Leigh hurt you? Did she hit you?" he finally noticed the unusual redness of my cheek. I don't like the way he told me he needed to care for me. I felt like an obligation, a responsibility that he is carrying and carrying leads to getting tired and when people gets tired, they give up. I don't want them to give up on me. But they will, so it's good not to make them care for me in the first place. "I never needed anyone. I stopped needing anyone before, why start now?" I uttered the words again. Why? There is nothing to fight for. No mama. No papa. No sister to love me. No one. So why would I waste my life and the time of others to fix what is already broken - and someone who doesn't want to be fixed? If I may add. Maybe I gave up. No, scratch that. I gave up a long time ago - when my parents died, my hope and purpose went away with them.Complete
