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.

**COMPLETE!!!** Two warring countries, a hidden nation, and the power to control them all. 341 years into the Universal Millennium, Pangea is the newest colony world. Young and exotic, it is a planet of paradise. But all paradises have a flaw. Pangea's is the twenty-year-old war that has been going on between the planet's two Earthian countries, Sylva and Distonia. Also, unbeknownst to the colonists, there is an entire nation of Pangean natives living underneath the peaceful waters of the Great Ocean. The natives' lives revolve around an ancient portal called Xuhgea, which bridges the interstellar gap between Pangea and Earth without warp technology. Fifteen-year-old Jessica Lewis is a Pangean, and has been training to be a spy for Sylva for eight long years, and is determined to prove her worth. Sixteen-year-old Claire Railstone is an Earthling living with the natives, and, thanks to the portal, is forever stuck with people who resent her entire race. However, there is someone out there, who is willing to kidnap, steal, and kill to possess the infinite power of the portal. Despite centuries-old prejudices, Xuhgea's only hope may rest with Claire and Jessica. But it might already be too late.

"Two best friends, a trip through a mystical land, and a stranger that will change it all." Trying to figure out if she chose the right career, dealing with a broken heart, keeping up with uni papers and work... That's already enough of a challenge that stresses out this 20 year old control-freak. So add a whole bunch of family secrets, a trip overseas with her best friend, and some eerie flashbacks, and you get a hell of an adventure. [This is a new adult/magical realism novel] -------- FINISHED STORY! ! Aprox 100.000 words Warning: Contains coarse language, and non-explicit adult scenes. NOTE: After writing this, I noticed a whole lot of problems in my own writing. There are issues I opened up in this tale because I wanted to dig deeper, and never did. I noticed my own internalized phobias when reading, and please, if anyone feels offended or triggered about any of it, call me out. I'm trying to do better. It might have bad rep or offensive content that I'm looking into. This story will be completely re-written once I figure some things out. Also, I know the culture explored in this book (maori culture) is not my own, but after living for many years in New Zealand, I feel that it's part of me, and by no means did I mean this to be offensive to anyone. I hope it's not. I intended this as a "tribute" to a culture that I found rich, enlightening, and that accepted me with open arms.
