amputee california connecticut emmaline grayson lacrosse love recovery

"Once upon a time I was a normal girl. Then 10 minutes changed my life. The end."

Emmaline Mayberi was your typical "California Girl". She had everything she ever wanted. Popularity, the captainship of the varsity lacrosse team, and an amazing boyfriend. But then a freak accident leaves her hopeless, loveless, and legless (almost). Because of her new 'problems', Emmalines perfectionist of a  mother decides to ship her off to the other side of the country, forcing her to leave the few things she has behind. So now, she's stuck in Connecticut with one of her mothers college sorority sisters and her stuck up son. His name is Grayson, and he hates her. In his mind, she is stealing his house, his mother, and his privacy. He finds out she is quite different from the other girls. She finds out that he might not be exactly the rich bad boy that everyone pegs him as. Even so, with the circumstances, they can't help but start developing feelings for each other. But the accident left Emmaline afraid to reach out, with 20 foot walls built around her. With the help of Grayson, her new friends Julianne and Callan, and the lacrosse coach Mr. Keagan, Emmaline may be able to be  herself, but Connecticut style. Unfortunately, she still has to survive the horrors of high school, mean girls, blasts from the past, and let's not forget she has to do it all on one leg.

"And who would have thought it happened like this?"

A Stooge's Teacher by amongstthecharacters

Colin was done. He couldn't do it anymore, so he resolved to stop looking for love. He had thought he would find what Logan and Rory had, with Stephanie, but when they tried to grow something deeper out of a superficial murmur of attraction, nothing came off it. Now, he had deleted his profiles from dating apps and butted heads with his father over his latest stepmother trying to set him up with her friends. It was just weird. The new year just started and Colin was set on focusing on the law firm, which his father would soon hand over to him, when a set of emerald green eyes caught his attention. Well, he first noticed her concentration while chaos reigned around her in the hip and bustling coffee shop, Colin had decided to try out that day. Sparks burn down castles and love floods fortresses around hurt hearts in this romance story, that tells on how Colin McCrae, hotshot lawyer, and Rachel Hollister, teacher extraordinaire, crossed paths. ... Following the end of "Gilmore girls: A year in the life", this story starts in January 2018. Some characters are my own, those from the original show "Gilmore girls" obviously belong to ASP. I use them for the purpose of this story only. As it is, most of the main characters from the show will only be marginally involved as this story centers around Colin. Also, there will be some explicit, smutty chapters. However, those won't be part of the main story and will be clearly marked. So, if that kind of writing / topic isn't up your alley, you can just ignore those.

The soccer talent. The naive life. But that changed when she went to high school. Enter Leia Meadows. She isn't the brightest girl in school, but that doesn't stop her from pushing herself.

As luck would have it, Leia came into high school without a single friend, Annie having moved on to bigger and better things. But just when she thinks it could get worse, she bumps into Chris "Richie" Richards, a sophomore who just so happens to be one of the most popular kids in school. Cue romantic music. Yup, as cliche as it sounds, Leia falls head over heels in love with Richie, feeling the impulse to write him letters. Despite the trouble she's heading into, she believes that maybe, just maybe, he could be the solution to all of her problems. But, oh, just when Leia thinks she has him, he gets a date. And that's not even the best part. (Note the sarcasm). After a whole year, she thought she had it all under control. She was badly mistaken. Enter...all of the cruel bullies and helpless bystanders. Poor, naive Leia has to go through the next three years being terribly teased, beaten, and harassed by other kids in school. Will she ever make it through high school alive? °°°°°°°°°°°°°°° I'd like to note that this may sound cheesy, and I'm sorry if so. But, please, don't let that stop you from reading. This story is for all those who have ever been bullied, whether it was verbal, physical, cyber, or what have you. I hope you enjoy this book and are able to connect with Leia as a character.

And while she waits, all kinds of thoughts are going through her head: "I have a feeling he is seeing someone. I don't want to think about what I'm gonna do to him!" and shortly after: "Maybe I should just leave before he sees me? No! I can't. When you are rolling off a cliff you just can't stop. I guess you need to feel the bottom. The only problem - you don't know where that bottom is." And she is trying to analyze how is it that she got attached to him so quickly and so strongly: "What has he done to me? Is it some kind of a spell? How could I get so attached to him so soon?
