Prelogue
It was my first year as a college student at Harvard. I was excited and anxious because I just got into the most famous university in Ivy League (or so I thought) and I didn't want to screw everything up. I was still in Spain when I got my letter, the big one with the brochures and all the information about the school, and I had been waiting for it for what it felt like years. I was hoping that the next years were going to be the most perfect years of my life. Little did I know. If only I knew then what I know now...
Chapter 1
My name is Sarah Dean Jackson. I'm a humble girl from Portugal that has a bright mind. I always had this big, big dream of moving to the US and be a scientist. From what area, you ask? I didn't know the answer as well but it was something between Chemistry, Physics and Biology, more specificaly speaking, Medicine. I guess I was "manipulated" by myself and my family and friends and I never knew what I wanted to become. Since I was about six, I realized that what I really wanted to do was work on a lab with chemicals. I still do. But then around 9th grade I also wanted to study the movments and forces of the Universe. I still do. And around that same time, my mom told me her dream before college was becoming a doctor and I thought that would be extraordinary 'cause I could save lives (I blame Grey's Anatomy for that) or even study genetics (I blame Divergent for that). I still do. I also wanted to become a singer, a dancer and an actress. I still do.
When I finished high school, it was clear that I couldn't be everything so I had to choose. But I knew that even though I'd choose something, I would miss the others. I guess I had that problem since I was a kid.
All my life I felt completely lonely. I could be with someone in the room and still feel lonely. But I disguised that very well because no one ever doubted that I was that confused about life.
I was the clever girl. I couldn't have doubts.

You're the only daughter (and princess) of a notorious royal family in Japan, and ever since you were a little girl, you've loved soccer/football with all your heart! Playing the sport has been your passion for as long as you can remember, but your family hasn't been supportive. Your father and older brother always dismissed it as a "man's sport," refusing to let you play, while your mother constantly tried to push you toward more "girly" hobbies. But you never gave up. Soccer/Football was your dream, and no one could take that away from you. You practiced in secret, joined soccer/football clubs, and honed your skills despite the odds. One day, a strange letter arrives by the guards addressed to your brother, inviting him to a mysterious all-boys soccer/football facility called Blue Lock. Seeing this as your chance to prove yourself, you make a bold decision: disguise yourself as your brother and enter the program. In a place where only one dream can matter, you'll stop at nothing to chase yours.

Beyond Plus Ultra
"Who am I? That's the thought that has been plaguing my mind recently. Or the better question is...who do I want to be. My name's Ochaco Uraraka- yes, the same girl that graduated from UA High school in Japan a year ago. The very same school that's trained some of the world's greatest heroes we see today. If you asked me back then if I saw myself being this far away from the people I loved, then my answer would definitely have been 'no'." "But...even though this was the hardest choice I ever had to make and one I definitely didn't want to. It at least brought me some clarity as to why I was even doing this in the first place. I mean, I went to that school to learn how to become the best hero I can be, right? So, I will do it. I will do what I have to, even if it means sacrificing my own happiness for someone else. Even if it means walking through life on my own. I will do it. I will keep smiling, I will keep fighting the good fight and I will keep doing my job. And I will do it knowing that I can make a difference. So, this is where I find myself now, working alongside people I care about and doing what I love. My hero name's Uravity, and this is my final story of my life after UA High." Final and third part of 'Welcome to UA High'
I Fell in Love with a Bad Boy
CRINGE WARNING! First book I ever wrote on here!! -- "Sometimes the person who you are willing to take a bullet for is the person behind the gun." I stood peering over the cold lifeless body that lay before my eyes. I had always thought of death the enemy, but right now, I blessed it upon the person who is now at peace. Sometimes you don't need to be the smartest, or the fastest, but you do need to be wisest. They say the blood runs deeper than water, and I believe it, because even though the people that we love can turn on us and begin to hate us, they are only human, meaning that soon they will begin to see how short life really is and how it is not to be wasted. People who seem perfect and they look like they have no floors'; they are the people who are suffering, like I was. But I found my savior in the most uncommon place. He was able to look through my mask, he saw the cracks, and tried to fix the broken girl that hid away deep inside the girl who only wanted to be seen as 'fine'. I slowly began to find comfort and safety in him, and I did the same to him. We were two broken people becoming whole. Someone once said when you pass, if you can count your true friends on one hand you are beyond lucky, and I even though I did not like the person that lay before me, I know that he once had true friends, including me. I'm a 17 year old girl who has suffered more than any other, beginning to believe that 'Hope' was just another word the people throw around. Until I fell in love with a badboy.

Gingerbread Latte
Book #4 in the "Bloodlines & Ashes" series (Can be read as a standalone) I had a plan: Go to college, have lots of sex, and eventually become a doctor. Simple, right? Yeah, well, that was the idea until a family secret came out and flipped my whole world upside down. Fast forward to an accident and a kidney transplant later; I'm left wondering who the hell I even am anymore. That's when she came tumbling into my life. A red-haired stranger on the hospital rooftop, barging into my existential crisis, dragging me-literally-away from the edge. (For the record, I wasn't going to jump. Probably.) She's beautiful, fiery, and...insanely frustrating. She refused to tell me her name, declared my parents must be gay, and walked away like she didn't just turn my entire world upside down. Sounds like the start of a great love story, doesn't it? Here's the problem: she doesn't think so. She's immune to my charm, dismisses me as some campus jock, and seems entirely uninterested in giving me the time of day. Naturally, her rejection only makes me more determined to prove her wrong. Enter the deal: tutoring sessions, gingerbread lattes, and endless chances to show her that I'm more than just a guy with good hair and charm. Her story? I need to know it. Her trust? I'll earn it. But the closer I get, the more I realize I'm in way over my head. Because, like they say, too much ginger can give you heartburn-and my heart? It's already hanging by a thread.Complete

And now I am on the run, trying to leave everything behind. But it's been four years, four fucking years since her eighteenth birthday when she confessed having feelings for me. For Me. And her words still haunt me, the tears in her eyes when I rejected her still burn my heart but I did what I had to do. People don't love me, especially women...they only seek pleasure from me. I am not a lovable person and someone you should definitely steer clear of. Getting involved with my best friend's (or ex best friend's) sister is stupid and I'm fucking mature enough to not even think of her, of someone who is eight years younger than me. But now, she is here and God help me, I am about to cross every fucking line.Complete
