"There's blue and red flashing lights. Handcuffs on wrists. People all around me are screaming; running in all directions, trying to escape. I stand there frozen, a single tear rolls down my face. She slapped me. She told everyone I did it."
Trystan Collins: a name everyone knew and had respected at Riverside High. She was the most popular girl. Then a basketball boys summer party changed it all. It's senior year and even her best friend Kihanna ditched her, taking the place as queen bee. She's made Trystans life a living nightmare ever since that party. No one at school even looks at her anymore. She's invisible.
Erik Carson is the star varsity basketball player for the Riverside High Moccasins and southern perfection. He's definitely one of the most popular and hottest guys in school. He threw a party last summer that got a little out of hand.
One day, Erik smiles at Trystan. But wait isn't she supposed to be invisible?
Will she be able to begin again?

Behind the Eight Ball
Class Valedictorian, Star Center on the Basket Team, good grades, good kid pretty much sums up Finn Nash a Senior at Lenape Charter High. Having his whole life planned out for him, nothing could have surprised him more then a bizarre encounter with Brynn Shelby, class recluse. Brynn has her reasons for keeping to herself. Why had she chosen to use her Magic Eight Ball key chain to decide whether or not she was going to hold the bus for Finn Nash, Class "Everything" that morning? If she knew what that decision would do to her world, would she change her mind? There is something about Brynn that Finn envies perhaps maybe that is why he has sought her out and tries to befriend her. But can these two complete opposites survive in each others' worlds or will their worlds clash, and crash with cataclysmic results?

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. She's smart, focused on school, the paper, and her TA responsibilities. Junior year should be starting off easy for Dane Sawyer. He's the star pitcher of the baseball team; attractive, athletic, desirable, with a hot girlfriend. Unfortunately, he's also failing computer science which is the one thing he sees that is in the way of his pro career. 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

Feining
Ariella Hendrix had one rule for surviving senior year: stay focused and stay invisible. As the soon-to-be valedictorian - and daughter of the principal - she had no time for parties, drama, or cocky basketball players with too much swagger and not enough GPA. LaMelo Ball had one goal: the NBA. School? Not on his radar. Homework? Never heard of her. But when failing grades put his season - and his draft dreams - on the line, the last person he expected to be stuck with was quiet, perfect Ariella Hendrix. She's been in love with him for years. He's just noticing her now. Between late-night study sessions, loud team parties, and her twin brother breathing down their necks, the line between helping him pass and catching feelings gets thinner by the day. And the closer they get, the harder it is to hide it from the one man who can ruin it all - her dad. In senior year, everyone's chasing something. For them, it might just be each other.Complete
Smile For Me Captain
|(BxB)| Eli gasped dramatically. "Okay, that earns you like, three boyfriend points." Ryan raised a brow, amused. "Is there a scale?" "There's always a scale." Eli took a sandwich, unwrapping it. "You're at, uh, seven points total now." "Seven out of...?" Eli pretended to think. "Let's say fifty." Ryan scoffed. "Fifty? Harsh grading." "Earn the rest," Eli said, smirking before taking a bite. ᯽ Eli never meant to fall for the captain of the basketball team. He just wanted to get through senior year quietly, taking photos for the yearbook and avoiding human interaction whenever possible. But when he's assigned to cover the basketball team-meaning taking photos and interviewing players-his life turns into a blur of camera flashes, flying basketballs, and one very annoyingly perfect captain. Ryan Calloway has it all-charm, talent, and the whole school wrapped around his finger. Being the pastor's kid comes with expectations, though... and none of them include falling for the beautiful boy behind the lens. But Eli's smart mouth is addictive. His dimple is distracting. And soon, Ryan's double life starts getting harder to balance-especially when every stolen glance feels like a confession waiting to happen. Between clumsy interviews, accidental almost-kisses, and late-night games that turn into something softer, Eli and Ryan find themselves caught in the one thing neither of them saw coming. Love. And maybe, just maybe-it's worth smiling for. ᯽

Deeper
In which I fall in love with my brother's best friend. ***** "Don't pretend like you don't feel anything." His voice is low, sending shivers down my spine. "What do you mean?" "You know damn well what I mean." "I don't know what you're talking about." I pretend to ignore him, flipping some pages in my book. "Come on. I have all these assignments waiting. Aren't you supposed to teach me tonight?" "It depends on what you want me to teach." He smirks, his voice sounding even more dangerous. ***** I thought that my brother was the most popular guy in school, but as soon as I step into my university life, I realize how wrong I was.

Come on, he's got the scholarship to one of the most prestigious universities in the country, while I have just barely passed the entrance examination after long years of struggle during high school.
