Giwa Falade is the ruthless Queen Bee of Castron High. Known for her sassy, bold, no-nonsense attitude and awfully feared, absolutely dreaded by the entire student population, for this very reason. Giwa loves what she does, instilling fear in people, and she obsesses over this fear, feeds on it like it is her food and water. Coupled with a bad past and an overwhelming struggle going on within herself, Giwa's decision to protect herself creates her messed up obsession and craving for fear. However, all may not always be exactly what it seems on the outside. When 'hard girl' Giwa falls in love, it seems surreal. She starts to connect with people she wouldn't see eye to eye with, and a forming bond between her and the school hunk unravels the mystery behind her twisted mindset. However, this also brings in a truck load of unwanted drama, hidden secrets, deep betrayal, and worse, more flawed teenagers who keep making even worse decisions, and intertwining into her story, causing the so awaited final year of High School to turn from bliss to a never ending nightmare. Even worst, Giwa Falade, Miss Queen Bee, pulls herself right into it. All in all, these teenagers are in for an experience of a lifetime. And what happens when everything becomes a drastic, dead end for Giwa, filled with tears, regrets, broken friendships, relationships, losses, and the painful, unattainable wish to take back the hands of time? What happens to the lives of the other flawed teenagers, like Giwa, who unfortunately get mixed up in her mess and pay for the consequences of their own actions?

Honours Preparatory Academy. A school well-known for it's somewhat magical scenery. The charms of it's board of directors. The amazing teachers who could do their jobs with their eyes closed. The clean-cut uniforms and the posh, well-mannered students. Every child wanted to be an honour student and any parent would literally give up anything to make sure that their children attended Honours Prep. But did they know that there were ghosts lurking around the halls, trapped behind the walls? Did they know that the students killed with just snaps of their fingers? That the teachers would do anything to keep their jobs? And that parents pushed their children farther than they could reach? Did they know of the past students that had disappeared or died by "accident"? Did they? No they did not. *** When The Queen of Honours Prep, Jumoke Adegoke, is murdered, the students are all of the same notion; that Faith Okafor killed her best friend. Faith, raked with the guilt from the dark thoughts she has been having, would stop at nothing to find the killer to clear her own name, while trying to hide her own hideous secret. When a new mystery comes into light, in the form of S.B, the anonymous cyber bully, she teams up with her archenemy, Hakeem. Together, they get steps closer to finding the killer and the secrets of other students at Honours Prep. But there are people who have tried very hard to bury these secrets and they would kill if that meant their secrets would remain only that.... A secret.

As if he was aware of being followed, Henry increased his pace further. He got to the elevator while I quickly rushed and slid in before the elevator closes, leaving just the both of us inside the box that felt small because of how intense the atmosphere was. "Why are you a pest?" "I'm your bodyguard. Of course I'm like a human pest." I just couldn't hold it in me. His arrogance was just too much. "Did you just talk back at me?" Henry turned to me, his nose flaring up in anger. "You're fired." ______ Hope is a very beautiful girl, well atleast that's what she tells herself. But being beautiful isn't all there is knowing money ruled the world. Spotting a job with a hundred thousand naira seems like a 'too good to be true' phase to Hope. And it proved her point when her eyes sets in on the pronoun. He/him. Much bad news surfaces when she realizes such pronoun suits the job perfectly. Being a body guard. Hope being the hustler she sets herself to be isn't going to let a gender stop her as she finds means on making the opportunity work in her favour. They say, nothing a man won't do for money. Especially when being strapped. Right now, Hope is the definition of STRAPPED. Starts : 7/12/2021 Completed : 6/9/2022 Achievements : #2 - Nigerian - 4/04/22 #1 - Hustling - 11/04/22 Cover by Eddy622

To some it was hell, to some it was home. To some, it was a place to catch cruise and live your best life. To some it was a place where you ruled, where you were the main man at the top of the food chain. To some it was a place to hide under a façade. To some it was a place that determined what the future held. But to all, it was a place that brought challenges - physical and emotional. A place that brought self-discovery; a place that exposed the secret and the reality of life. Final year at River Brook Academy had finally come - basically what every secondary school student looked forward to. Suffice it to say, that it wasn't half as normal as the other years they'd spent. It came with whirlwinds, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes...but what happens when Ore Jumai, Ayo Balogun, Bolu Jayeola, Nina Ogbeide and their friends all learn what they truly needed? Would they be able to take it and stand? Or would they leave it and fall to the ground? ****** Started: 24th December, 2020.

There's a lot that comes with them wanting each other, a whole lot, from the tribal difference to Beverly being his best friend's sister, to the surprises from Zayyad's family, to him breaking a major bro code, six years of friendship and trust.
