Ace Wilder is a what you would call a shy introvert, although the one thing that can bring a smile to his face is pitching a ball. However, he has his own flaws that come with it. Ace's extreme flexibility which aides him to perform his extraordinary and odd form, raising his foot almost above his head and bends his body so his arm swings out far behind his chest. Although he can only throw fast while throwing a breaking ball. His troubles start with his incapability to throw fastballs. The form he had taught himself had made it nearly impossible for him, therefore making his fastballs considered fast but impossible to control. All his accuracy practice goes down the drain when it comes to fastballs, but having loved pitching since he was young he trained using several over techniques.

Rory Paine is the ideal catcher considering his large built and muscular body. He wishes to find someone that can pitch something extraordinary to him and blow him away, which has been a hard task since a past teammate he had played with ruined his trust. This made him incredibly controlling and hates pitchers because of the stereotypical attitude that's shouts "I'm better than everyone here". Often times he can be seen fighting with the pitchers on his team because of not listening or not paying attention to his hand signals. Rory had been suspended a few times for these reasons, but nonetheless being a substantial player on the team.

An air of melancholia surrounded me, eyes watery like never before. "Were your feelings for me ever real?" There wasn't even a trace of an apologetic expression on his features as he tucked his hands in his pockets, before he gave a nonchalant shrug. The sudden urge for revenge became a prominent priority. He regarded me passively. "It's not my fault that you fell for me in the first place." he justified as he advanced my way, closing the gap between us. Unstably, I strode backwards on the concrete. ". . .stay back." I whimpered. "You're nothing but cold hearted." ·•● Two years ago, Emery Roy was tragically exposed to what some could call an intense betrayal all thanks to the originator - Dean Darnell.

When Jake learns I'm nearby, the cocky jerk will stop at nothing to rekindle what didn't work before. He thinks he's grown and matured past the boy who crushed my teenage heart.

"'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.
