     And for her, that's really nerdy. Faced with a mother who doesn't  really care about her, a father who vanished without a trace after an altercation, and neglect from most of her peers, she, her cousin Lauren, and her best friend since diapers Danielle, have been navigating the world of Colin Proust High school for the past 3 years. It is now the start of senior year and a new school "Confessions Page" has appeared on their Instagram timelines. At first, it is just something to browse, but certain people, and certain circumstances turn Onika's already hectic world upside down. Only then, she meets somebody who is a little strange to her, she just can't decide if she likes it or not.

    
    With being popular, comes a big reputation. For Beyoncé, her reputation is that of a whores. Ever since her mother died under mysterious circumstances, she runs through girls like it's nobody's business, her only source of sanity, her medication. After harboring a crush on the nerdy Onika Maraj, she finally notices her through one of her friends Instagram stories. Enamored by her hard work and beautiful face, she decides that she wants to make Onika hers, and nobody else's. Unfortunately, it's going to be a little harder than she thought.

Coach. || BEYNIKA [Completed] by SexyDon_Papi

Retiring from the NFL was the right decision, and at thirty years old, I've done things most people could only dream of. After all I've accomplished, coaching high school football should be easy...but when you've got a distraction in the form of a nerdy girl with curves, things can get complicated. She's a student, she's barely legal, and she's my best friend's daughter. I didn't know what desire was until Onika. I had no idea obsession could drive someone insane, until I saw her. I wasn't prepared for the fact that once I laid eyes on Onika my life would really begin. I have to have her, no matter what the cost. I have to breed her and bind her to me so tightly she can't ever get away. She'll be mine, even if I have to take her.

He let his girl slip through his fingers once and he won't let that happen again. So now he has to convince her to give him one more chance. After all, they're not related to each other anymore.

Just One Week In Italy by itsbarbey_

"I damn sure wouldn't be here, if you told me she'd be joining us on this trip! I hate this bitch, Lauren!" I said out loud, not caring to control my temper anymore. Beyoncé came forward.

"Look y'all, it's just one week in Italy that we all gotta spend together. Talk it out, or fuck it out. But one thing y'all won't do is fuck this up for Lauren. Act y'all age for once."
