That is, after the new football coach of two years, his father, convinces him to meet some of the players he's been coaching. One in particular catches his eye, and despite swearing to himself he'd never fall for someone again, before he knows it the captain of the football team is coming over to study with him and sooner than he likes Elijah finds himself staring into his eyes more than just a friend should.

What with an emotionally and physically absent step mother and a distant father who doesn't realize his son isn't a straight-A making machine, Chase Lawrence has developed a bad habit of stressing way too much over school work and having a burning desperation for a distraction. That didn't tend to mix well with his current girlfriend of three months who he's never gone on a single date with because she always had an excuse. Then, all of a sudden the endless loop of exhaustion and disappointment breaks when Chase finds himself magnetically drawn towards his Coach's son, and looking at him a lot more than someone already in a relationship should. So, what happens when a boy still recovering from the trauma he gained his freshman year and a quarterback wanting a relationship where he can finally be himself, start to like each other? Well, hopefully, maybe, they can give each other some stress relief. *** Copyright status: [All rights reserved]

Growing up in a toxic environment, sixteen-year-old Jay Foster has always had psychological problems, coupled with a quick temper. But one night something happens which finally pushes him over the edge, and as a result, he leaves his house the next morning with two things: his mother's gun and a plan. Living with a neglectful and drug addicted mother wasn't easy for Jay, and it definitely didn't help that his father abandoned the family while he was still a child. He harbored a hatred toward his parents, and that hatred extended to almost everyone and everything around him, producing a very troubled and damaged young kid. As Jay enters high school, he becomes very intrigued with one of his classmates. Kind of obsessed, actually. Her name: Mikayla Keeler. Mikayla is very unique, and like Jay, she doesn't seem to fit in with her contemporaries. Instead, the two of them keep each other company, and their friendship very quickly escalates into a romantic and intimate relationship. Despite having Mikayla, Jay's troubles continue to burden him. He and Mikayla are fighting habitually, his home life is still unbearable, and his time at school is hardly any better, made worse by a bully named Calvin. Their mutual dislike of one another leads to a lot of hostility, routinely leading to Jay being sent to his school's principal. One confrontation in particular goes much too far, resulting in Jay's expulsion from school. With everything seemingly piling up, Jay is very close to his breaking point, and late one night he is blindsided by the unthinkable, pushing him much too far and effectively planting in his mind a cruel and horrific plan for revenge.

College so far has been one word: terrible. But you know what, this summer, it wasn't going to be as terrible. This summer, I was going to be alright. This summer, I was going to smile and laugh and have fun with my friends. This summer, nobody was going to think there was something wrong. This summer, everything was going to be okay. This summer... oh shit. ******* Shayley Folton has had some struggles in the past, but those struggles decided not to stay buried during her first year at college. She's avoided her best friends for what could have been forever just so they wouldn't suspect anything. But what happens when she's hit with a reunion for the entire summer. It was just one summer. Surely she could put up a front and then go back to her life. Right? *** The world doesn't hate you Shayley," he told me. I tilted my head. "Where would you get the idea that I thought it did?" He laughed at my sarcasm. "Well it doesn't. We all go through shit, some just more than others. We can't control it, but that's the way it is. We'd never have the problems we have if it didn't think we were capable of handling them. So the world doesn't hate you Shayley, it just rolls a pair of dice and lets you handle the outcome." ***** Spin-off of Tutoring Mr. Bad Boy & Dating Mr. Bad Boy *Warning: Story talks about addiction problems, suicide, and mental health struggles.*
