"Um, hi," I say, my voice quivering under their gazes. "Hello, little one," the leader -- Caspian -- says. "I think we're going to have a lot of fun, don't you?" ~~~~~ When Gwendolyn Sage waltzed into Whitmore Academy, she didn't expect her dorm to be placed next to the bad boys of the school. After escaping an abusive home, she hopes to refresh and reform her life by living at the academy and staying under the radar, but Caspian Thorn, Atlas Montgomery, and Roman Whitmore throw a wrench in her plan. ~~~~~ !!WARNING!! This is reverse harem (FMC ends up with 3 men) and a standalone. Also: this is not paranormal - the term "demons" is used in a purely figurative way. all chapters with mature content will be marked with an asterisk (*). This story will be marked as mature when I mark it as complete. 26/30 chapters done (plus epilogue)

It's all layered, like a work of art: The sultry, moody male with a back story, and the equally moody girl who has a spark like temper, and a short fuse. The geometrical shapes of the painting begin to warp, but they still fit together. Some overlap. Some are pushed into new places, with new surroundings and unfamiliar ground. When stories begin to interlock, who's to blame? The girl, the boy, or the dead? Lucille Dawn's stuck in a whirlwind of grief and sorrow. Fighting to keep it inside of her, she finds an odd connection to a boy she'd never dream of talking too. Alexander Eluse has his own problems, and being self centred is one of them. How long will it take for him to realise that the world doesn't revolve around him? He must let go his past to be content with his future, and it's up to Lucille to help him--and to help herself at the same time.

The chemical formula is simple: Nerdy, shy, introverted good girl who has her quirks and her secrets and her embarrassing flaws and the reckless, bad attitude, non-commital bad boy... (But you've totally rooted out his soft spot: It's kittens). It's science: All is meant to go as planned. Hypothesis? They fall in deep, unbreakable love. Equipment? One boy, one girl, one insane family and one dark past. Safety precautions? *Skips past* Results? Ah...Crap. Well, something clearly went wrong here, 'cause the answers are completely out of whack. When Charlie Lest gets herself into what seems like a harmless but is actually a rather sticky situation, she can't get herself out of it on her own. Her own stubborn nature and determination to stay independent runs her into Hayden Que: He too is stubborn, but shows his frustrations outwardly. It lands him in daily trouble. Turns out, he's in a sticky situation of his own. Charlie had one choice to make: To be honest, or to try and hope things don't crumble just to save her pride.
