Hypothetically, there was no real reason that Isa Flores shouldn't be valedictorian of her class by the time that graduation rolls around. If she wanted to be able to afford going to law school, she needed to get the full-ride scholarship that Baylor University gave out to students who graduated high school at the top of their class.

In reality, the stress of multiple AP classes, practices for sports, working out and working to help out her parents made keeping her grades up a lot less practical.

But the main thing in her way wasn't a number on a test or a game she needed to win. It was the guy next door who had been her closest friend for years until she cut him off when he hurt her in a way she didn't think him to be capable of. 

Just her luck, she's stuck doing a project that's worth a large portion of her AP Psych final grade with the guy who had destroyed a part of her, and if she wasn't on top of everything, he'd destroy her chances at the entire future she'd planned for herself.All Rights Reserved

Training Camp Compromise by flowersinthesun16

Nathan Baker hates Julian Cruz. He hates his snarky attitude, he hates how overly confident he is, but most of all--he hates how good he is at football. He hates how stupid Roosevelt High school took home the championship trophy and the way the stupid rival team picked up his stupid rival, chanted his stupid name while he looked at Nathan with a stupid grin. Yep, Nathan hates him. But this year is his year. He's the captain of the Cortland Foxes football team, he's the starting quarterback, and he finally is back on good terms with his on and off girlfriend, Veronica. Senior year is the year. That is until on the first day of training the coach introduces someone who, in fact, does not need an introduction and Nathan almost explodes with anger on the spot. The feeling of hatred is very much mutual for Julian Cruz. He hates Nathan Baker with every fiber in his body. He hates his Hollywood attitude, he hates how rich he is, but greater than all--he hates how good he is at football. Sure, Julian had made the lucky catch and managed to make the final touchdown of the championship game and win, sure, he was praised as a God for the rest of that school year and got scouted by a couple college coaches. But none of that matters now that he and his Mom have gotten kicked out from their apartment and the only place they could find is too far to continue his laid-back life at Roosevelt High. It doesn't matter anymore because now he is forced to go to the one school in the world he would never have chosen if given the chance. Cortland High school, home of the foxes and his worst enemy. Well, since they're on the same team now they have to reach some sort of compromise...right? Who knows, maybe, just maybe, they'll like each other more than either of them though.

The Trap (Trapped Prequel) by BeverleyKendall

Looking back, I should have seen it coming. Paige didn’t like that I went so far away to university. But it was going to only be for two years. She'd join me after she did her two years at community college. I thought we could swing that no problem. We were solid. But she hated the distance. She hated not seeing me every day. She complained that I didn’t come home enough. She hated that for months on end, texting and phone calls were our only form of communication. It wasn’t enough. She'd ask about the girls on campus. She’d gotten it into her head that girls were always making a play for me. I laughed and told her, even if that were true, I’d never cheat on her. She didn't seem completely reassured by that. The bottom line is, Paige thought she was losing me. She wanted me home with her. But I could never imagine the level she'd sink to—the trap she’d set to make that happen. And like an idiot I walked right into it. And it’s a mistake I'm going to have to pay for the rest of my life.

Cliche Romance (FALEC) by drivinginsane_

"I hate-no dislike you a thousand times that you may never feel because of that thick wall of ice around your heart. That thick ice that no one might break because no one cares to even change you. Like they said, people don't change after 24 hours." I rant, turning red after that. "Who said that you couldn't break it?" I laughed at his logical answer, "What is this? A cliche romance?" • • • She was forced to date the campus king; Evan Arden. For one goal: to win over his ex. She hated him, but eventually fell head over heels for him. But the only response that she could recieve was that he doesn't love her anymore. Especially when it's the day where you graduate college. Where she feels lost. Not when she accidentally bumps into an undercover celebrity in the streets. Drunkily swearing cuss words at him and not knowing it wasn't Evan. What's worse is that she wakes up one day to be finding out that her overprotective infamous brother will be visiting her. Then she is faced with unfamiliar cameras, unforgiving people, and lastly that famous redhead celebrity that isn't familiar with feelings and love, how will this cliche romance end? credits to: itsfunneh © drivinginsane

Fall For Me by emilyann-

Completed - He had me pinned against the wall outside of his dorm late at night. He was staring down at me angrily. I was confused to say the least. "Are you okay, Jackson?" "No," He shook his head. "Pissed." I was about to ask why but then he continued. "I'm supposed to be a player, Jaycee." He groaned. "But here you are, fucking making me fall for you." What had I done to make him fall for me? Then he smashed his lips onto mine. ~•~ Jaycee was smart, she accepted that. She wasn't the prettiest (in her own eyes) but she accepted that. She was quiet and sweet, she accepted that. What she didn't accept? Someone to be disrespectful toward her. Jackson isn't very intelligent, he accepted that. He was gorgeous, he definitely accepted that. He was loud and obnoxious, he accepted that. What he didn't accept? Someone to reject him. When these two cross paths, it's like Mother Nature was asking for love, hate, loss, betrayal, etc. ••• reached #5 on Teen Fiction May 4th 2015

An Unexpected Moment by caromerri

... that changes everything Sarah was starting her junior year of high school. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw a pretty average blonde haired, blue eyed, teenager. She was neither in the popular group, nor one of the many cliched outsiders. Sarah was a nobody. She liked to blend in and lay low. It was her way out of not only this town, but her house. No one knew it, but her father was a high functioning alcoholic that often took his anger out on his family. With her older sister now in college, it had turned to her more often. Laying low in general was a good strategy. Across town, Ryan was prepping for his final year in high school. While he wasn't the stereotypical quarterback of the football team, he did fit into the popular crowd. His sports of choice included basketball and soccer, either of which might line him up for a scholarship next year. Ryan had a group of close friends and a lot of adoring acquaintances. It wasn't easy juggling his athletics and keeping the grades up, but he was just that good. The supporting parents didn't hurt either. It might be a cliché romance, but it will be fun to see what the year and beyond holds. ------------------------------------------ This is a story I wrote years ago, or at least partially wrote. As I transcribe it here, I have tried to update it a bit and give the characters/story more depth than what I had when I was younger. Hopefully it all gets pulled together!

Maybe by IronyDreams

My heartbeat quickened and I felt shivers.I pretended to look around as I averted my gaze. "Has he noticed me?No, wait-my god-" ---------------------------------------------------------------- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life.She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything was good. Ethan, a popular boy who would only focus on her and not any other girls, was the object of her hatred. He has always kept her safe. He used to annoy her. She hated him deeply until she didnt. She was content with her high school experience until something mysterious turned her world upside down. She was forced to move to a new city and stop communicating with anyone from her high school. But she runs into him again after eight years. "Ethan.." He was the key to all truth. When she did not know anything, he did. Will she be able to handle it after discovering the horrific truth about her families and the answers to her pasts? Now she despises him. He is cold..... Perhaps she despises his cold shoulder. Will their lives return to normal after all the hardship they experienced? "Maybe?" "Maybe Yes Maybe No?" READER BEWARE: THIS STORY CONTAINS A LOT OF TWISTS Started :: 8 November 2021 Ended :: 19 December 2022 Rankings goals so far~~ #1 adolescente #1 given up #1 blinddates #1 pretend #20 twistedromance #60 highschoolromance Notice~~~ It is the first story I have ever had published.
