Brayden Nickols is the softball prodigy at Eastwood – with her, the team will go to playoffs. Everyone sees the blonde haired, blue-eyed girl that everyone wants to be.
That’s not who she is though. It’s all just a façade. At school she may seem like she has the perfect life, but it’s far from it. At home she has to make sure her mother doesn’t drink herself into a stupor, make sure her little brother does his homework and is out of the wrath of her father. And as for her father, she has to take all of his hits and his words, because it’s the only way her brother will be safe.
So, you see, her life is far from perfect, but her best friends, her team, and maybe the cute football player will help her through it all.
This is a story about hard work, betrayal, determination, and love that can get through anything.
PG-15
This story will contain some language, and will focus a little bit on the concept of abuse. I do not support it at all or anything like that. I don't claim to know anything about it either. I do not mean to offend by having this in my story.
It's not too bad - there will be a lot of lighthearted moments, and romance, so it's not exactly a sad story either :)

Edwin walks away, and someone standing in the corner of my vision makes me turn in my seat. A tall, muscular man is standing there, his arms crossed, staring at me. He's got dark brown hair, perfect eyebrows, and soft brown eyes. Honestly, he's gorgeous. And since I've read, and edited, about five articles about him, I recognize him immediately. Dane Sawyer. He's the best pitcher on our baseball team. He's hoping to go pro, although I'm not totally sure what the process is surrounding that, since I don't retain much of the information from the articles that I read about him. I know that he's also a junior, and that his girlfriend is hot as fuck. I've seen them together on campus. They're hard to miss because they are easily one of the most attractive couples that I've ever seen. I'm convinced that I must be hallucinating, because he makes eye contact and walks towards me. 'That was awkward.'" ~~~ Junior year is starting off chaotic for Mackenzie Brooks as she steps into her role as the editor-in-chief of the college's newspaper.
