Guys have always been thought of the ones who push hard athletically and take their bodies to the part of break, especially in high school while competing for scholarships. But since when did women work less than guys? The answer is: never.

Anais doesn't know when to stop, she NEEDS a full ride to a college far, far away. She practices for hours on end and goes home just to fall sleep while doing homework and sometimes in class. It isn't until someone stops to notice that Anais is slowly killing herself that she sees what she is doing to herself. Mathew does everything in his power to show Anais that she is worth more than just another number in a stack of college applications. To show Anais the same girl that he sees will be the most challenging thing he has ever done.

One of the main reasons he feels like basketball is his only way to make it out. Reggie, the mutual friend of Kelvin & Xavier is different in his own way.

Josie has always had a plan. A straight A student with scholarships in sight and a futures carefully mapped out. The kind who doesn't let distractions get in her way. Her life is steady. Predictable. Perfect. Until it isn't. Everything shift the moment her friend Isabell. The schools effortless IT girl, confesses she has a crush on the football quarterback. The same quarterback Josie has secretly, hopelessly fallen in love with. The problem? Josie would rather break her heart rather than her friends. So when Isabell asks for help winning him over, Josie agrees. Because that's what good friends do...right? She makes herself a promise: once she gets them together, she'll bury her feelings away. But the closer she pushes them toward each other, the harder it becomes to let him go. Jeremy the golden boy of school. The star quarterback with scouts watching and championship dreams within reach. With the season finals approaching, football is his priority. Nothing else should matter. Until it does. Because Isabell may have her sight set on him, but Jeremy only has eye for one girl. Josie. And the more she tries to push him away the more impossible it becomes for him to let her go. ~~~~~~ "If I do this one last favor for you, will you go to homecoming with me?" He asked. It was risky because if Isabell saw us at homecoming together she would be furious. I have been avoiding his question, it's been over a week since he asked me for homecoming but I've been hoping he would ask Isabell that question not me. I could always not show up and make Isabell take my place. I want Isabell happy and if this is the only way to see her happy then so be it. Even if it might break his heart. I nodded. "Yes, I'll go to homecoming with you, but you need to do what I told you to do." A smile grew on his face. "I will." ~~~~~~ #2 Sports #1 boyfriendgirlfriend #1 youngromance #3 crush Read and find out what happens.

"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? Will he fall short? Or will he fall into the arms of a guy who is in love with the girl he loves? _______________________________________ WARNING: First book EVER! The best part about this book is that it has some funny bits and introduces you to characters I use for a while. But, if you don't like the writing, please consider one of my newer works 😊 Started: May 10, 2016 Completed: September 2016

Not every blonde is stupid. In the South if you're a beautiful, blonde, blue-eyed girl high expectations are made. Either you're not extremely smart, so you find yourself a suitable husband to take care of you. Or you are smart and you just pretend to be dumb so you find yourself a suitable husband to take care of you. All her life Avery Skinner has been told what to do and how to do it- by everyone. By her mother, the girls she calls friends, the guys in school, teachers, family, even Mark the mailman. Needless to say, she's sick of it. Its time Avery took control of her life or at least get a firm grip on the sucker. She's loved football ever since she was a little girl. Yet she could never play because ladies aren't supposed to do such barbaric things. Especially in the South- unless its a rodeo and you're wearing those ridiculously tight outfits that show you're navel or showing you can hold your liquor. Avery has longed to be on the field, throwing the ball instead of cheering on the team her dad coaches that can't seem to win. Then her best friend Austin forces Avery to and for sometime everyone is fooled. But the truth can only be hidden for so long. The moment the townsfolk of Stonehenge, Alabama learned it was a girl under that helmet, was the moment true colors showed. It hasn't been easy and it won't get any better but Avery is here to play. * Avery is going to face REAL life problems, and not nice people. She's going to deal with sexual harassment, mean words, rude people, pregnancy, injuries, steroids, etc.. In this story I want to exemplify how sexist and cruel humans can be. There will be hard moments, but I want to put it out there because it IS a serious problem. Harsh language and such will be present. You have been warned, don't read it then complain.
