An escape. That's what this boarding school was. What was I escaping? My own life, maybe even myself.
***********
Different. Outcast. Unsocial. All words to describe Avery Porter. Yet who called her this? No one but herself. Her walls, much to others' dismay, had been built long before anyone she knew was even born; blocking them out without even a second glance, let alone a chance. But really all she needed was someone willing to bring them down for her. Who knew it would be that asshole she met on the first day?
((((A/N please read, don't judge my pathetic attempt of a blurb! ))))

Living the Life of Zoë
Zoë Block is your average eighteen year old girl. But she's a bit different...She's not the type to go screaming to the mall on seeing a flashy discount, or the kind to paint her nails a colour to match her outfit. Nope, she's the kind that would get her knees scraped and still not utter a word (maybe a swear one), the kind who would jam on her guitar for hours at end just to avoid homework and the kind who would love a biiig tuna-fish sub, with mustard, double cheese and a whole lot of mint mayo... BUT, what will she do when she finds herself falling in love with her cousin? (well, he's adopted, so he doesn't count as a cousin, right?) Will she turn into the typical girly-girl who pines over boys? Or will she remain true to her badass profile? To find out..."Welcome to the life of Zoë Block." :) Author's Note: My username was changed from 'JackHarriesIsMine' to 'diagonAlley' due to certain reasons. Please bear with me.

Playing The Game
Not every blonde is stupid. In the South if you're a beautiful, blonde, blue-eyed girl high expectations are made. Either you're not extremely smart, so you find yourself a suitable husband to take care of you. Or you are smart and you just pretend to be dumb so you find yourself a suitable husband to take care of you. All her life Avery Skinner has been told what to do and how to do it- by everyone. By her mother, the girls she calls friends, the guys in school, teachers, family, even Mark the mailman. Needless to say, she's sick of it. Its time Avery took control of her life or at least get a firm grip on the sucker. She's loved football ever since she was a little girl. Yet she could never play because ladies aren't supposed to do such barbaric things. Especially in the South- unless its a rodeo and you're wearing those ridiculously tight outfits that show you're navel or showing you can hold your liquor. Avery has longed to be on the field, throwing the ball instead of cheering on the team her dad coaches that can't seem to win. Then her best friend Austin forces Avery to and for sometime everyone is fooled. But the truth can only be hidden for so long. The moment the townsfolk of Stonehenge, Alabama learned it was a girl under that helmet, was the moment true colors showed. It hasn't been easy and it won't get any better but Avery is here to play. * Avery is going to face REAL life problems, and not nice people. She's going to deal with sexual harassment, mean words, rude people, pregnancy, injuries, steroids, etc.. In this story I want to exemplify how sexist and cruel humans can be. There will be hard moments, but I want to put it out there because it IS a serious problem. Harsh language and such will be present. You have been warned, don't read it then complain.
