"Smartass." I comment.
"Uptight bitch." He snaps.
"Get a new one, asshole. It's getting old." I sneer back.
"How about-"
"Stop! The both of you. Jesus, people will never think that you're dating, if you keep that up." I roll my eyes at Heidi.
Maybe I shouldn't have accepted the deal. It's a lot harder than expected.
Anyways, my name is Gabriella Duncan and this is my life right now. It's not that bad, I know. If there wasn't this specific football player, who, for the public eye, is my boyfriend. And well, as you may noticed, we're not too fond of each other. Ugh, just bear with me for a while...

Scholar
[COMPLETED] [Warning: Strong language used throughout the book.] He put his hand over my notebook and the other over mine. I glared up at him, his golden brown eyes catching my attention. "I can't write like this," I pointed out. "Is this all you care about?" Ryan asked. I shrugged. "Not this specifically, but yeah, I care about my grades." Ryan smirked. I swallowed nervously but refused to break my stoic expression. He leaned closer to me, my heart pounding so hard against my chest it felt like it might break out and fall on the table between us. His mouth was right by my ear, and I could feel his warm breath when he spoke which sent shivers down my spine. "Well, aren't you a little a scholar?" *** The only things Alex Moris ever cared about were his grades and his sister.

Touchdown to my Heart
"You and I, we need something from each other now, dweebus." Kieran said. "I don't actually like you, I just said that to get Collin angry. You know that, right?" He nodded, a sharp, almost impatient jerk of his head. "Obviously. I know you don't like me. But now... now I know what you want." "You lost me." "Well, for starters, you want my cousin to regret everything, to absolutely burn with it. And telling him you liked me? That already pissed him off enough, he's an egomaniac." He paused, a strange, excited glint in his eye. "And I need a girl to impress my family, to charm them, to them to stop breathing down my neck. It's simple, Brandy-" "You're not suggesting-" Kieran grabbed my hands and put on the most desperate expression I've ever seen on his face. And then he said exactly what I was thinking. "Yes, Camila. You're going to be my girlfriend." Excuse me? "Kieran-" "Tyler is going to want you more if you're with me," he cuts in smoothly. "And that's what you want, isn't it?" What the hell? * * * Camila Ramirez is just trying to survive her last year at USC and finally earn her degree. She's spent the past three years hopelessly in love with Tyler Smith-the kind of boy everyone loves, the kind of boy she thought she understood. Until one night, she overhears something that shatters everything. Now, she wants one thing: revenge. Kieran Smith, captain of the USC Trojans football team, has been watching from the sidelines. Quiet, controlled, and impossible to ignore, he sees an opportunity where Camila sees heartbreak. A fake relationship could solve both their problems. For Camila, it's a chance to make Tyler regret everything. For Kieran, it's a way to convince his demanding father that he's finally taking life-and his future-seriously. It's simple. It's strategic. It's temporary. But fake dating is supposed to be easy. Right?
I Hate Football Players
Football players are assholes. I know - my brother is their king. Older and annoyingly overprotective, he's the star quarterback at Santa Cruz High School. I love him, but everyone worships the air he breathes and it's suffocating. After a traumatic experience with a quarterback three years ago, I want nothing to do with boys and dating. All that matters is getting into college, so I ace my classes and sign up for my school's student ambassador program to boost my applications. Thankfully, I have my best friend, Harper, to get me through high school being overshadowed by my brother. My plans for a quiet, low-key senior year are destroyed when my brother's cocky, arrogant rival keeps butting into my life. Logan Hightower is a total player who expects me to drool at his feet while he uses me to burn my brother's game. If he thinks I'll fall for his gorgeous looks and shallow charms, he's totally mistaken. He'll never succeed because I hate football players.

All That Is Gold Does Not Glitter (Book 1)|| COMPLETE
"Are you sure you're okay, sweetie?" she asks. I take the ice pack back. I nod, but it hurts. My brain feels jostled by the littlest movements. "Yeah," I gasp, holding in any acknowledgment of pain. "I'm fine. Thanks." She glances down, and I catch her eyeing my bruised shins. They took the brunt of the impact. "Football," I explain. She nods. "That's a rough sport," she says. A pause. She walks back to her desk. Then, she stops. She turns around. She looks me in the eyes. Her face is solemn. "Hit 'em harder," she instructs. I nod and almost smile. "I will." *********************************************** It's 1998, and seventeen-year-old Stephanie "Stevie" Rogers is attempting the unthinkable: she wants to be the first female football player at Truman High. Too bad the team, headed by her ex and a sexist coach, won't let it happen. Then of course there's her sexist step-dad, who can't know she's playing football or her life as she knows it would end. If it weren't for her cute guitar-playing best friend, Calvin, all hope might be lost. But with his help, and the discovery of a secret so scandalous it could rock the entire school, she may finally get her time under the stadium lights. *************************************************************************** "You're outnumbered. You need allies if you're gonna survive the season. These guys are gonna have your back. You need them." "I don't need anyone," I insist. "Ha," he hiccups. "Yes, actually, you do." He ploinks me on the nose. I scowl. "No one is invincible." I continue to scowl. He sighs. "Just trust me on this one. Okay?" My face softens a little. He's just trying to help. "Fine," I comply. "But don't expect me to smile about it." He grins. "That's too bad. You're pretty when you smile." "Shut up."Complete
Hades
~"You don't know me." I snap. "Sure, I don't. We've only spent more than half of our lives together. But I don't know you. Like at all, I don't." He says sarcastically, making me stand up from my chair and stand in front of him with crossed arms. He keeps seated on my bed, looking just as angry as myself. I study his face for a really short second and internally groan. Puberty did really hit him good. ~ · Why would Hades think that after two years of not seeing Emma and not answering her calls, she would still be the same? How could he expect her to still be that weak little girl that depended on him? No, Emma has changed into somebody he has yet to discover. Two years ago, these two had their biggest fight. Best friends should get over it and move on, right? But what if there was no way they could talk it out, due to an unpleasant misunderstanding? Two years of not hearing shit from each other. Two years of being separated...and that after a bad argument. Both too stubborn to talk about it. But wouldn't it be so easy to finally sit down and talk? Even after what they did at Julie's first party of the new school year? I mean, they could still act like it didn't happen, since they have both been drunk. Yet they remember and decide it would be best to just avoid each other. Well, they seem to do a really bad job.Complete

"Why do you care if I kiss other girls? We're not together, we're friends" he stated swallowing his emotions. "You're right, why should I care? Like you said we're friends" I got more angry with each word that came out of my mouth. "You know what? Go makeout with any girl you want, I don't care" I said as I started to walk away.
