Troy, Zayden, Caius, and Elias built their brotherhood on long nights in empty gyms and battles nobody else saw. Every cut, bruise, and broken play tied them tighter together.

But the game keeps moving, and so do they. To win, to grow, to last they have to fight for every spot, every minute, every ounce of respect. And when their journey brings them a fifth man, it doesn't change the story of one-it changes the story of all.

This isn't a story of stars. It's a story of five players chasing the game, the dream, and each other.All Rights Reserved

HARD LINES: VOL 1. by storieswithk

Some boys are born to follow dreams. Others are built to survive expectations. At Salt Lake High, Christian Moore's name is already known - not for what he's done, but for the blood his mother couldn't wash off her hands. Haunted by a past no one will let him forget, Christian starts freshman year with a dream, a cracked up heart, and too many questions. Friends, rivals, temptation, and pain follow him through every hallway, every late-night practice, every mistake. By senior year, he'll have to make a choice - one that could cost him the future he's worked for... or the people he can't afford to lose. A coming-of-age story about grief, ambition, love, and the lines we cross to survive.

Together, they built dreams under city lights, crafting a future meant only for the two of them. To Misha, Ayla was home. But even the strongest love can be tested. Ayla Parrie tried to be everything Misha deserved - the sweet partner, the loyal fiancée. Yet somewhere along the way, her heart strayed... Drawn to a different kind of love she never expected. Now, Ayla walks a fragile line between duty and desire - between the life she promised Misha and the forbidden love she found in Niky.

.The Trackjacker & The Mockingjay (Katniss Everdeen X F.OC). by ChrisWolfblood

In a Panem that followed a history different from what we know. In such a world, tributes are pulled from the same pool, and so in addition to being reaped, sometimes you just know you don't have a chance; two boys from District 2 would plow through the rest, and all you can do is cry. ---------------------------------------------------------- She lived in 12 for generations of her family, but not in the filth, nor was she in a family of victors. No. She was the child of peacekeepers; she was trained to fight, in special schools for them, and even her name was only once in the reaping bowl as she grew, no matter what she did. People like her would be 12's future peacekeepers, raised and trained on site for generations of their families to be sure they know all there is to know about the district they'll keep in check. ---------------------------------------------------------- She grew up in 12, in the poorest part of 12. She'd hunt for her family with her friend and would exchange some wild game with the on-and-off boyfriend she had, son of the baker, or her best friend. Her life was hard. And so she watched with envy those kids who got fed for nothing, taught to handle themselves so that in the future they could control them. ------------------------------------------------------- How will life turn out if two of these people get to meet under different lights, in the 74th arena of the Hunger Games? ----------------------------------------------------------- Other Hunger Games books: Forest Fire (Johanna Mason X F.OC) - Completed Shake Plushy (Enobaria X F.OC) - Completed Stone & Lumber (Johanna Mason X F.OC) - Completed Splinter (??? X F.OC) - Draft -------------------------------------- I HAVE NO MONEY!!! Stop offering me to draw me comics of my stories, I cannot pay you, you know who you are... If you do, I WILL block you.

Finding a way back to myself by moshi317

It's been one year since everything went wrong. One year since his life was turned upside down and the life he knew was shattered. Zayden is a mess. A complete mess. Life has never been easy for him but he managed because he always had his brother by his side. His brother, Onyx, who made all the sacrifices and did everything he could to protect him. Only he knows how he did it. Now that he's home for the summer, Zayden is determined to try piecing himself back together. But, of course, it's not easy at all. Home is where all his problems began. Home is where his demons thrive. It's the one place where he can't escape his memories. Maybe he's too broken to be fixed. Maybe he's too lost to be found. His best friend Dewi thinks otherwise. Zayden isn't lost or broken. He's simply on a journey back to himself. **** Spin off to 'Is there a road back to the way we were?'. Please read that one first or this one will make no sense at all. Enjoy!

Books, Boys, and BFF's: Sophomore Year by Msmarv28

"This is our beginning; you placed your fingertips on my heart and ignited something profound. I looked at you and caught a glimpse of forever. This was the birth of us, but it was also the destruction. This is how we came to be..." A.Y An overbearing father, a secret crush, and a habitual rule-breaker... what could possibly go wrong? My name is Sidney Stansfield and I am a reformed rebel. Or at least I'm trying to be. And this year is going to be different because I have it all figured out. My grades will be perfect, I'll be taking my school to the state championship, and I'm determined to leave my rebellious ways behind. Hell... I'll do anything to escape the nightmare known as the Candor reform school for girls. That is, unless my mouth and my temper get in the way. My good girl plans are put to the test as I navigate through high school, bullies, an overbearing father, basketball, and temptations of the heart. A forbidden fruit otherwise known as my childhood best friend Drew Taylor. And as I catch feelings for the school's resident bad boy, I wonder if I will be able to pull off my greatest feat yet... or will the perfect life I've been trying to make for myself come crashing down around me? Unable to resist the dark side of things, I'm praying I don't lose my freedom a second time, and that I'll finally succeed in this game called life.

Endless by CameronMoone

"There are one hundred of you. Fifty of you will be blue and fifty of you will be red. There are five-hundred levels. Only one will win for his or her team. Begin." *** I'm everywhere and nowhere at the same time. We all are. Stranded in the air on an obstacle course in the middle of this endless sky. There's only one way out - winning.

All I Ever Wanted by EverEnchantingE

We can't always get what we want in life. I found that out when I lost my best friend to the one thing he loved in this world: Basketball. But what I didn't know is that there was something in this world that he loved more: me. He's all I ever wanted.

Unrequited love by txshish

Love. As 'beautiful' as love can be it hurts and bleeds. If you're unlucky you may even love the very person you know you can't have. The best friend, The distant boyfriend, The sisters friend, The brothers friend, The ex best friend, Love isn't always given back the way you gave it. Leaving you with half a heart as the person you gave your half too never gave you their half back. But what if someone else has another half to make yours whole again?
