•The Official Lukewarm Prequel Anthology• This is an anthology featuring short stories set before the events of "Lukewarm" (and its sequels). Jonathan Lukewarm pays a surprise visit to his online friend, Kiara, a dancer in Mumbai, India. However, he is embroiled in a strange mystery when Kiara becomes the target of a mysterious assassin - one who's willing to even get their hands dirty if it ensures her demise. Victor and Vanessa arrive at their grand-uncle's villa in Naples, Italy, only to find themselves in the midst of an insidious plot when their cousin, Edward, is found dead - and their grand-uncle turns out to be next on the killer's list. It is up to the teen siblings to get to the bottom of this nefarious mystery. In his quest to snare the coveted Imperial State Crown housed in the Tower of London, England, William Schaffhausen gets embroiled in a conspiracy involving a network of terrorists known as the Revolutionaries. Their mysterious leader seems to have a vested interest in Wilhelm - and will do anything to get the young criminal to join his side, even if it means revealing a deadly secret about Wilhelm's past.

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.

❝ Oh my gosh, Tikki. ❞ ❝ You have no idea I much I missed you. ❞ Tikki and Plagg starts leading out another life as Tyler and Patrick. Unknown to each other's identities, they go to school, eat lunch, hangout like other teenagers do. But as Patrick reminds Tyler of Plagg and as Tyler reminds Patrick of Tikki, they start to think they might be more than friends. Tyler tried to stuff her emotions away in the corner of her heart and tried to focus on her duty as a Ladybug kwami . . . but the boy with emerald green eyes might just make her Plagg-sick. Patrick raises an eyebrow at the newbie and thinks she might be a little more than what she shows. And he just might be right . . . and he might take advantage of that. To those poor souls who do NOT know ML, I pity for you so I'll give you a quick summary: so there are two superheroes, Ladybug and Chat noir who save Paris from the evilized enemies of Hawk Moth. Ladybug and Chat noir are sorta in disguise so they don't know each other's identity. Marinette is a girl who is Ladybug under the mask. She has an uncontrollable affection towards the famous teen model, Adrien. Adrien, in the other hand, is Chat noir himself. While he was Chat noir, he fell in love with a dazzling beautiful girl named Ladybug. So, it's a mixed up four square relationship. Oh, who's Tikki and Plagg? Being superheroes is a privilege given by mysterious, magical creatures called Kwamis. Tikki is Ladybug's Kwami, supporting Marinette. And Plagg is Chat noir's Kwami, a Camembert cheese maniac. I hope this helps you! It would mean the world to me if you vote and comment! Thank you so much!! Currently undergoing edits and proofreads. COVER CREDITS: me @JueTheWitch!
