When Nora finds herself no longer just singing at the charity game but planning to play in it, she begins to question how her life lead to this moment.
Singing had been her life since she could speak. She wanted to make people happy and ensure that they had the best time. She could put on a show and the school loved it.
So watching their resident pop star play in the charity football match- that was something they had to see.
Does she know the rules of football? No. Has she exercised properly in the last 6 months? Also no... but that doesn't dull her enthusiasm.
Determined to ensure her best friend Mia creates a successful charity football mentorship programme Nora throws herself fully into it.
Picking a jersey based purely on her favourite number and turning up with so much energy she could power a small village, Nora began a programme that would change the course of her life forever.
︶⊹︶︶୨୧︶︶⊹︶
Charlie Evans, the biggest up and coming name in football.
Scouts ventured far and wide to see him play, each trying to outbid the other for the promise of getting the star player to join their team.
The swarms of fans all begging for the bragging rights that come with being his friend. With having only recently moved to the small town to enjoy his last year before going pro, Charlie immediately says yes to teaching some cheerleaders how to play football for charity.
The others see it as something for their college application and Charlie just wants to fit in. He wants to enjoy the last bit of childhood he's got left before playing in the big leagues.
What he couldn't have imagined is how agreeing to a simple coaching programme would become one of the best decisions he'd ever make.
︶⊹︶︶୨୧︶︶⊹︶
Nora and Charlie both have such big plans that things always get in the way. But what they both just need to do is... live a little.

In a last chance effort she will be put to work as the football team's new team manager under the guidance of her father's childhood best friend. When the preacher's son joins the picture and complicates everything Mina must keep her cool demeanor while also hiding her secret from the hunky hometown hero. What will be harder: keeping her secrets under wraps or raining in the football star's wondering heart? * From the corner of my eye I see Kolby roll his eyes. He leans in, "Thats one of the reasons I chose to sit next to you." his whisper sends a chill up my spine, "That and you're always the prettiest girl in the church." Kolby always makes my Sunday best even better. I keep the ends of my mouth from giving away too much as a whisper back, "Better watch yourself, hick." I point upwards, "Marry had her eyes on you." "Her and half this town." he says. "Doesn't that worry you?" I ask causing his face to soften. "You know what?" he says, "When I see you, none of them matters. Nothing matters." his breath feels like a soft tickle on my neck while his words hit me like a nine-ton sack of bricks. * Find out in The Water Girl's Secrets [Completed] - currently editingComplete

After a long anticipated party hosted by one of the most popular boys in school, a rumour goes round the entire school and gets the names of the two least expected classmates, in the mouths of the entire population of Castron High. One word: Madness. 𝑫𝒂𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒖𝒄𝒉𝒊 𝑶𝒓𝒋𝒊 - a major 'outcast', a girl who barely escaped being at the full disadvantaged end of the Social hierarchy, because she was saved, hidden, and protected under the wings of one of the most highly placed cliques in her set - realises that as a result of this ridiculous and unexpected rumour, she may just be about to bite more than she can chew. Unspeakable dares are passed on. Sealed pledges are made, the worst of pairs are forced to match-make, secrets are revealed, the mystery behind the strangest, most unusual people are discovered, and the most dangerous games are played when the notorious gang boys/hoodlums, known for terrorising the school come into the whole story, thirsty for blood.

In the end, all that's left to realise it that every teenager is one way broken and needs saving. ❦︎ In a world where home is equivalent to Hell, and Highschool is a society, reeking of vanity, where social hierarchy is the order of the day, and the madness to maintain status quo is a much bigger deal than it should be, anyone is bound to lose their goddamn mind. Two broken teenagers, living the same unbearable reality, and struggling to know who they are, find solace, and a means of escape, with each other. But is it really worth it?

The Badass Nerd
"What the hell did you do!?" I heard a feminine voice behind me. I groaned and turned around to meet a very angry face. I have never seen a girl this pissed before and honestly speaking, I am a little bit afraid. "She knew what she was getting into. Everyone knows I am player and I never stick to one girl." I shrugged and turned around to walk away. I didn't even take one step when I felt a firm hand on my t-shirt. She took a fist full of my shirt and turned me around so I was facing her. She then held my collar. Damn, she is almost the same height as me and if I would have been any normal guy, I would be terrified of her. "You don't treat girls like trash, asshole. She has feelings, she is not some toy that you got bored from after playing for a while. Apologize to her." She said through gritted teeth pointing towards Leah who was crying her eyes out. I noticed the crowd that started forming around us. I shrugged her hand away from my t-shirt and glared at her. "I will not apologize to anyone." I said slowly through gritted teeth. She is starting to piss me off. No one clashes me and no one stands against me. Even though I am new here, everyone knows that. I saw her eyes go blank and before I could duck, her fist made contact with my face and I felt sharp pain coursing through my nose. I held my nose tight and felt warm liquid flowing to my lips. Olivia Claire is a 16 year old high scholar. She is a fighter who never took anyone's shit and is famous for it. She mostly minds her own business occasionally helping people that might need her.

She's practically a musical prodigy at 16 and music can't possibly be taken away from her. The only people she's ever been really close to are her psycho, over enthusiastic bff's. They're the only people she can tolerate anyway. That's until one fateful day when she meets a cocky, narcissistic, though really cute guy at her favourite fro yo shop who gets under her skin for just being himself. She absolutely detests guys like him. Absolutely gorgeous, frustratingly charming, cocky as hell and shockingly talented at music. That's right. Star discovers that this seemingly unbearable guy loves music almost as much as she does and just that single fact makes her heart soften a little so she lets her guard down for just a tiny bit. But after that one moment that she decides to let it down, she realises that she can't get it back up again.

Unintended Consequences
"You just have no idea." His voice was thick with restraint. "W-what," I breathed. His gaze flicked to my lips as his thumb stroked again. The calloused pad against my soft flesh sent goosebumps down my arms. His once warm eyes were dark as they lifted and bared into my soul. "What you do to... men." His husky whisper weakened my knees. I almost fell but his other hand settled on my hip, pulling me closer to him. "What you do to me," he added on a breath. The hand on my jaw shifted. His fingers left trails of tingles as he slipped them back slowly, under my earlobe and into my curls. *************************************************** As a young girl, Charlotte Avery's favourite pass time was daydreaming about her Prince Charming: Archer Johnson.
