"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?"

Poor, naive Leia has to go through the next three years being terribly teased, beaten, and harassed by other kids in school.

A Stooge's Teacher
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 Other Guy (BoyxBoy) ✔️
"I walked over to where Aaron was sitting on the ground, kneeling so that I was face-to-face with him. He was wearing a blank expression on his face so I guess he didn't really care if I kissed him or not. I took in a deep breath before taking his face in both of my hands and swooping down to kiss him. At first, I was so nervous I didn't realize that we were already kissing but after a few moments, I realized how soft his lips felt on my own. Before I can register it I felt him moving against me. I would have gotten off of him but I realize that he wasn't moving to get away from me. No, He was moving his lips against mine." °°°°° Aiden Moore isn't extraordinary. He has average looks, he is OK with sports, and his only strong point is that he is smart (although that doesn't mean much to his fellow classmates). And, of course, his virgin ass has never had a girlfriend, let alone a crush. It seemed as if he would never find someone. That was until he met her, Scarlett Hale. She was the most beautiful girl you will ever meet. Kind, sweet, and one of the few people with a higher GPA then him, she was amazing and Aiden imagined that she would be all his. Once Aiden gets rid of her boyfriend, Aaron Tyler. The most annoying guy you will ever meet, Aiden gags just thinking about him. The man is smoking hot and makes Aiden's dreams of getting the girl to seem very impossible. So what would happen if Aiden gets involved with the wrong person? Will Aiden get the girl?
