Truth be Told ✔️
The rivalry between high schools is fierce. But the rivalry between Baylor High School and Brentwood High School was fiercer. When people come to these schools, they learn two very important things quickly. 1. Every competition between these schools matters. If you lose, you are shamed. 2. Absolutely NO contact with anyone from the other school Alexa Baker had to live and die by these rules because her brother Seth promised that if she didn't, he would make the rest of her junior and senior year hell even when he was at college. He was the reigning senior state quarterback. He couldn't have his little sister of all people break these rules. So even with all of her curiosity towards the mysterious people of Brentwood High School, she stayed away and stuck with her friend group. Until a run in with a mysterious stranger at a sold out movie makes her rethink everything she thought she wanted. A conversation she overhead drags her into a secret bigger than the rivalry that shaped her childhood. And Homecoming...well, Alexa's life would never truly be the same. For good or for bad. ***Completed August 22, 2018***Complete

Angston High
There wasn't really anything all that special about me. I considered myself an average person with average looks. That being said, I also considered myself a very gaunt person. I was sort of a nerd. Not like a big 'ooooh, look at him, with his glasses, pocket protector and retainer', I of course had never worn any of those things. I'm a quiet type of nerd . Quiet, as in my only friends were people who weren't exactly as bad off as me, but you know, they weren't the most popular either. One girl, Jade who I considered to be an overachieving busybody. She was always trying to improve her already perfect average self while meddling in other peoples business. I also had a guy friend named Alex. He was almost like me, which made us the perfect best friend. He was also pretty popular, even though he hung out with me. Neither Jade, nor Alex were terrible to look at. In fact, sometimes I wondered why they weren't even more popular than they were. Jade is a model, tall with long black hair a perfect body and nice sized tits. Alex is perfect. Perfect six pack, perfect biceps, perfect face..... I know what you're probably thinking right now. 'Talking about your best guy friend like that? Are you gay?' Well between me and you, that's something I'd never admit to anyone. Ever.Complete
