The Sidelines of Love (Intersex - GxG)
Looking from the sidelines watching cheerleaders getting tossed in the air, footballs being thrown, people getting tackled, people shouting and yelling, and coaches tossing their clipboards in the grass. But, I only see you. With your long curly hair, your siren amber eyes, your alluring smile, your laugh. You're popular, the head cheerleader, and you're dating the captain of the football team, and I'm just someone in the background on the sidelines.... a mascot. °☆☆° P.S- I love to read y'alls comments! :3☺️ #2 on Cheerleader - July 6th, 2025 #4 on gxg- September 7th, 2025 #6 on intersex- September 3rd, 2025 #1 on angstwithhappyending- July 7th, 2025 #7 on popular- July 24th, 2025 #1on teens- January 21th, 2026 #1 on awkward- August 9th, 2025 #2 on wlw- August 7th, 2025 #2 on slowburn- August 23th, 2025Complete

The Captains
A football player and a cheerleader. The ideal and stereotypical couple right? Think again. Grayson Cooper charming, attractive, and stereotypically arrogant. Grayson is the star quarterback of Ocean City High and the most popular guy. One of those guys that a girl would die if he even talked to them. However even if it didn't seem like it Grayson hated the brainless seeming idiots that flirted with him. This is probably why he's so intrigued by the new girl who defies the stereotypes and isn't what everybody says she is. Aspen Peterson the new girl at Ocean City High new to Florida period. She is not only known as the new girl. Aspen is the captain of the cheerleaders after showing everyone out at tryouts. Blue eyes, dirty blonde hair, nice body, sounds like the stereotypical cheerleader. But that's not what Aspen is. She isn't interested in dating an empty-headed person who knows nothing, doesn't really care about prom, or the empty-headed people who think she sleeps around. Aspen is a free spirit girl, who isn't afraid "to be one of the boys", isn't afraid to be herself, but is afraid to be loved or let anybody in after a difficult past. Aspen vows not to fall in love, because of still struggling to let go. Will all that change when two people who think they're completely different, but really have more in common than they think cross paths? ★ I wrote this when I was in middle school (12-14 years old).

All That Is Gold Does Not Glitter (Book 1)|| COMPLETE
"Are you sure you're okay, sweetie?" she asks. I take the ice pack back. I nod, but it hurts. My brain feels jostled by the littlest movements. "Yeah," I gasp, holding in any acknowledgment of pain. "I'm fine. Thanks." She glances down, and I catch her eyeing my bruised shins. They took the brunt of the impact. "Football," I explain. She nods. "That's a rough sport," she says. A pause. She walks back to her desk. Then, she stops. She turns around. She looks me in the eyes. Her face is solemn. "Hit 'em harder," she instructs. I nod and almost smile. "I will." *********************************************** It's 1998, and seventeen-year-old Stephanie "Stevie" Rogers is attempting the unthinkable: she wants to be the first female football player at Truman High. Too bad the team, headed by her ex and a sexist coach, won't let it happen. Then of course there's her sexist step-dad, who can't know she's playing football or her life as she knows it would end. If it weren't for her cute guitar-playing best friend, Calvin, all hope might be lost. But with his help, and the discovery of a secret so scandalous it could rock the entire school, she may finally get her time under the stadium lights. *************************************************************************** "You're outnumbered. You need allies if you're gonna survive the season. These guys are gonna have your back. You need them." "I don't need anyone," I insist. "Ha," he hiccups. "Yes, actually, you do." He ploinks me on the nose. I scowl. "No one is invincible." I continue to scowl. He sighs. "Just trust me on this one. Okay?" My face softens a little. He's just trying to help. "Fine," I comply. "But don't expect me to smile about it." He grins. "That's too bad. You're pretty when you smile." "Shut up."Complete
