(UNEDITED, WRITTEN WHEN I WAS FIFTEEN, VERY EXTREMELY CLICHE )
Love stinks like a dirty gym sock, and that's why Taylor Hastings wants nothing to do with it. She doesn't need a boyfriend to be happy, especially when she's seen what kind of damage love can do.
Already dividing her time between school, work, her stepmother's endless demands, and her secret online identity, Taylor accepts to tutor one of her classmates in English -and regrets it. She has to tutor Josh Bradley, the quarterback. Girls worship him like a god and Taylor doesn't understand why. He's an arrogant jackass who plays them like a football defense.
Taylor's ready for football season to end so she can avoid him again, but the two form a surprising bond, trusting each other with their secrets. She finds a friend in someone she never saw coming.
There's something else she didn't see coming.
And it starts with L.

You're It for me
I loved a boy. A boy with the prettiest smile and the messiest hair. A boy who made my heart race. A boy who never looked at me. Until one day... he did. And just like that, everything changed. It started with an art class. A random draw. His name in my hands. What was supposed to be a silly group project turned into late-night chats, endless laughter, and the kind of closeness I never thought I'd have with him. But life isn't always soft. It gets loud. Complicated. And somewhere along the way, we broke. Maybe we were too young. Maybe we weren't ready. Maybe... we were just never meant to last. This is the story of how I fell for him. How I lost him. And how maybe-just maybe-some people find their way back.Complete
