He’s a color. A primary, but he fights with society to try and break from it’s expectations of him being a good looking guy with nice hair, good body, skinny, and a nice voice. He wants to forget his ideal magazine cover attributes and actually use his off putting personality in the front lines, and see where it gets him.
She’s a color. A primary as well, but she fights with society and tries to break from it’s expectations of a girl who’s tall, thin, talented, and dresses nice. She wants to dress apart from the school uniforms, she wants to leave behind father’s expectations of her becoming the first woman president or something, and use her hidden talent to become something more.
He’s a color. A primary one too, but he hides in the shadows and go against everything everbody wants him to do. He has crazy hair, colors a different color about ever two months or so, his flannels always have ‘REJECT’ or ‘IDIOT’ painted on the back of them. Sucks at school, and he wants to be the opposite of everyone else, even if that means doing it alone.
She’s a color. A primary, but on the inside she’s a color of no hue, no contrast, no lighting, if anything she’s black. She goes agains everything that’s logical, at times she fakes it to make it, but when you see her being perfect, you could think she’s just a fake, and the honest truth, is that’s what she’s doing. She sucks at school, always in detention.
Not every blonde is stupid.
In the South if you're a beautiful, blonde, blue-eyed girl high expectations are made.

Or you are smart and you just pretend to be dumb so you find yourself a suitable husband to take care of you.

By her mother, the girls she calls friends, the guys in school, teachers, family, even Mark the mailman.
Needless to say, she's sick of it.
Its time Avery took control of her life or at least get a firm grip on the sucker.
She's loved football ever since she was a little girl. Yet she could never play because ladies aren't supposed to do such barbaric things. Especially in the South- unless its a rodeo and you're wearing those ridiculously tight outfits that show you're navel or showing you can hold your liquor.
Avery has longed to be on the field, throwing the ball instead of cheering on the team her dad coaches that can't seem to win.
Then her best friend Austin forces Avery to and for sometime everyone is fooled.
But the truth can only be hidden for so long.
The moment the townsfolk of Stonehenge, Alabama learned it was a girl under that helmet, was the moment true colors showed.
It hasn't been easy and it won't get any better but Avery is here to play.

In this story I want to exemplify how sexist and cruel humans can be.
There will be hard moments, but I want to put it out there because it IS a serious problem.
Harsh language and such will be present.
You have been warned, don't read it then complain. 'Kay
