blind crosscountry lgbt running track trackandfield xc

Autumn Fletcher's life is a mess. Her mother is gone, her father locks himself in his room when he's not at work and refuses to speak to anyone, and no one but her grandmother believes she can amount to anything.

When Autumn's family moves to the small town of Bakersfield, she convinces her father and grandmother that it's the perfect time for her to begin attending regular school after being homeschooled all her life. She starts as a freshman at the local high school the day February break ends. Autumn only wants to fit in, make some friends, do well in school, maybe play a sport. There's just one problem.

Autumn is blind.

But with the help of a few loving and supportive teammates and a track and cross country coach dead set on her success, Autumn finally finds a chance to be a part of something. Maybe she can be more than "the blind girl", more than just another burden for her family. Maybe she can fit in somewhere, find a way to do something meaningful.

Maybe she can begin to fit the broken pieces of her life back together.All Rights Reserved

You Are the Shell to My Tortoise | ✓ by LotteStarburst

Nolan, an unapproachable guy who ignores the existence of all his schoolmates, sleeps in all of his classes. Normally, this wouldn't be Chelsea Arnold's problem-she does her best to pay attention in class and attends gym like a good, normal student. Unfortunately, she just so happens to be his assigned desk partner in many classes. She's frequently forced to wake him in English class and ends up earning the unofficial title of Nolan's Wake-up Alarm-a title that nobody in the entire school covets. The last thing she wants is to interact with him more than she absolutely has to. One day, their gym teacher sends her to bring him back to class, which he always skips for some reason. When she accidentally shines her flashlight in his sleeping face, it triggers a chain of events that gradually intertwines their lives together. It's hard to be a normal student when you start befriending the school oddball. It doesn't help that he has more secrets than the Big Ben has stairs. ----- Complete.

Varsity Boy and The Prep by laurenr24

Towerpointe Prep is the most prestigious boarding school and the only way to get in, is to be absolutely amazing. So, how did Asher Devreaux--the varsity track runner, just happen to slip by? Turns out varsity boy doesn't only have a fast mile time, but a wide mind and a witty sense of humour--Just what Emerson doesn't need. The girl who's been trained her whole life to succeed and the boy who somehow made it in. When the two share a love for running and somehow collide: Anything could happen. ******This story was written when I was a sophomore in high school and my writing has obviously improved since then. I decided to take this off drafts because 1) I'm writing a sequel to be posted soon AND 2)I was re-writing this, but decided the story was better left for my future self to revisit.*****

Love, Aurora by booksByA99

Aurora has always had one goal; to study and get as far away as possible from her house. Life was never easy for her but it seemed to get worse when her mother died. Years after her mother dies, she gets a letter. A letter saying she got into West Beverly Academy, a boarding school in London. She never wanted to go, she wanted to spend her last year of high school with her family before college but since it was what her mother wanted, she decided to go for it. Milo was definitely not the guy with the perfect life as shown on cameras. He was a racer- a car racer and was popular for that. But noone really knew what was going on behind those cameras. Because trust me, its as fucked as you could possibly think. But being strong, he dealt with it. He put on the show and dealt with shit behind the curtains, no matter how hard it was for him. He had an ego, and had a terrible attitude, but for once, those two personalities got him the girl. On the first day of school, Aurora sits on Milo's seat- typical right? But Milo let's it slide, even with Aurora talking back. But as revenge? Filling up Aurora's locker with sand and humiliating her seemed like the best choice. But he doesn't realise how much he actually needs Aurora. Way more than you think. Read along for a boarding school romance with lots of drama!

Before You Leave by fbishi

(Before You Leave #1) She was sent to boarding school over the smallest of mistakes... Okay, burning down your schools gym might have been a big one. But she didn't mean to do it. This time. And she's certainly no snitch. She's had a fine life. But she wanted something more. And so she created chaos. She was misjudged and misunderstood. And now she's the havoc of Birchwood Prep. They call her the devil's bitch, the principal's worst nightmare, and a screwed up whore. They can think what they want, JJ Ashton has heard these all throughout high school. She doesn't want a future, she just wants to take control of now. She's everything Birchwood Prep doesn't want, but is deemed to get after her Father decided it was the only option for her to find some discipline. She's not going to make it that easy for them. Gideon Andrews is the perfect student. Good grades, never missed a day, and never had been in trouble of any sort. He thinks life is great, but meeting JJ, she thinks life for him could be better. Less plain and vanilla. He hates her guts. It's mutual for her as well. But the headmaster has made it Gideon's personal mission to get her back on track and into a better life. She's allowed two screw ups, has to join a sports team, pass all of her classes with at least a C and get some friends before the year is over, or she will be held back. And she's not about to go another year in the hellhole called high school. (Marked mature for language and brief talk about sex.) *Still editing parts/making corrections* (Sequel is called: When I Stay)

Trapped In My Amnesia by lizzzz92

"Sweetheart wake up. You're at the hospital." I looked up and saw the same woman hovering over me. "Oh...okay." I opened my eyes fully and noticed that I was already in the hospital bed. Why on earth did she have to wake me? "So why am I here?" I asked confused. "Well," she said pulling a short and skinny woman into the room. "This very sweet lady saw you on the side of the road and called 9-1-1." I looked up at her and she threw me an evil look. In a way, she seemed strongly familiar. I looked away slowly diving my eyes back into the direction of the nurse. "Before we leave you, I just wanted to let you know that my name is Julia. You can call me whatever works best for you. Julia, Nurse, Nurse Julia. Whatever. I'll be right back with your papers." Sixteen-year-old Abigail Moore, also referred to as Ginger by her boyfriend Cameron Wood, has lived a terrible sixteen years. She grew up with her drug-addict mother who didn't care enough to properly raise her, and she's stuck living alone for a good amount of her teenage years. Once Abigail's mother got put in jail for suspected murder of Abigail's older sister, Julia, Abigail is forced to live with her aunt. Abigail and her aunt get along very well, and she grows up safe and in no harm. Although her life and goals seem set straight and simple to her, her mother and others are always watching, just waiting in Abigail's shadows for the perfect time to strike, and take their next victim in the creepy and deathly darkness of Brett Creek in Colombia Falls, Maine. Abigail's developed amnesia from her horrible past makes it hard for her to live, but the people she fears most in life, make it easier to find the pieces that are missing to complete the puzzle. ******************************************* Also, please vote this for the 2018 Watty's!! ;)
