Paulette's life is in shambles. Her sister is dead, her mother is a drunk, and she's been forced to transfer into a chaotic public school full of bullies. Things go from bad to worse when, one night while driving them home from dinner, her intoxicated mother hits and kills a teenage boy and is sent to jail. Now Paulette is truly alone. But when the teenage boy mysteriously comes back from the dead looking for Paulette, she finds herself face to face with the purest love on earth.

Everyone has something, someone, somewhere else that they’d rather be. For four high-school seniors, their goals of perfection are just as different as the paths they take to get there. Cara’s parents’ unrealistic expectations have already sent her twin brother Conner spiraling toward suicide. For her, perfect means rejecting their ideals to take a chance on a new kind of love. Kendra covets the perfect face and body—no matter what surgeries and drugs she needs to get there. To score his perfect home run—on the field and off—Sean will sacrifice more than he can ever win back. And Andre realizes that to follow his heart and achieve his perfect performance, he’ll be living a life his ancestors would never have understood. Everyone wants to be perfect, but when perfection loses its meaning, how far will you go? What would you give up to be perfect? A riveting and startling companion to the bestselling Impulse, Ellen Hopkins’s Perfect exposes the harsh truths about what it takes to grow up and grow into our own skins, our own selves. ***Listen to the attached videos to hear the characters read an audio version of "Perfect", voiced by various actors.***

A sad poem I'm entering in the contest based off of Ellen Hopkins manifesto.

Rhylee has been a prisoner of this place for six years. They took her when she was only thirteen, injecting heroin into her veins as soon as they locked her in that pure white cell. Doctors who found the art in making illegal drugs, the money, the greed, capture innocent people and use them as their lab rats. When they test a new drug called 'Gold' on poor nineteen year old Rhylee, she finds there's more secrets in this place than she thought there were. Betrayal, love, murder and suspense have taken over her already miserable life, leading her to a mission for revenge.

Do you ever wonder how the authors on wattpad have such genius, original ideas?! I don't! Here's my "story" and complaints. **WARNING: WRITTEN WHEN I WAS IN THE SEVENTH GRADE, NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AND/ OR TO BE OFFENDED BY** The grammar and spelling sucks too. I would delete this except the majority of the readers tell me not to. Also, if you want to give me your nasty opinion on me on PM, just get over it. I very rarely respond to them, much less read them. Keep it to yourself. There's already been a few incidents and I get it at this point. Anyways, have fun! (:

Everyone is hiding from something; a secret, a lie. Mine just happens to be a curse, one bestowed upon me before my first birthday; a curse that says I'm supposed to die before I turn sixteen. But that isn't going to happen, because I have a plan. You see, it's impossible to prick your finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel if you're locked in a cell.
