After losing a close friend, Bianca faces scars seen and unseen, guided by a presence only she can feel but no one knows who. Lessons are learned, wounds are made... but how will it all turn out? Will anyone survive the silent battles around them?

𝑰𝒎𝒂𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔... You walk into room 17 in the sickbay in search of your boyfriend. Much to your surprise and horror, you find him cheating on you with another girl. Worse, that girl is your best friend! Messy right? That was exactly the dilemma Rihanna Otedola found herself in. Not only did she get stabbed in the back by her boyfriend and best friend, but she also suffers the result of their lies spread round the school about her. While she's battling in the raging waters of pain, Zayne Dasilva- SLC's hearthrob and drop-dead gorgeous but cold half-caste offers her an offer that's too tempting to resist! But then, what started as a harmless fake date turned out to be something even messier! Emotions, friendship tangle and of course, full blown lust and attraction! Join Rihanna and co. as they go through the rewards and consequences of One Fake Date. ********* "What you said was because of the Fake date...it was right?" I asked chewing on my lower lip. His gold-grey eyes flickered to my face and his pretty lips curved into a sensual smirk. "No Rihanna" he said softly, his accent ringing on every word. He came closer and twirled a strand round his finger. Gosh, my heart was about to explode! "I'm really attracted to you"

After a long anticipated party hosted by one of the most popular boys in school, a rumour goes round the entire school and gets the names of the two least expected classmates, in the mouths of the entire population of Castron High. One word: Madness. 𝑫𝒂𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒖𝒄𝒉𝒊 𝑶𝒓𝒋𝒊 - a major 'outcast', a girl who barely escaped being at the full disadvantaged end of the Social hierarchy, because she was saved, hidden, and protected under the wings of one of the most highly placed cliques in her set - realises that as a result of this ridiculous and unexpected rumour, she may just be about to bite more than she can chew. Unspeakable dares are passed on. Sealed pledges are made, the worst of pairs are forced to match-make, secrets are revealed, the mystery behind the strangest, most unusual people are discovered, and the most dangerous games are played when the notorious gang boys/hoodlums, known for terrorising the school come into the whole story, thirsty for blood. Most alarming yet, an outcast who has always been the centre of attention for the wrong reasons and a damaged playboy with narcissistic traits dare to fall in love in a world that forbids them to. In the end, all that's left to realise it that every teenager is one way broken and needs saving. ❦︎ In a world where home is equivalent to Hell, and Highschool is a society, reeking of vanity, where social hierarchy is the order of the day, and the madness to maintain status quo is a much bigger deal than it should be, anyone is bound to lose their goddamn mind. Two broken teenagers, living the same unbearable reality, and struggling to know who they are, find solace, and a means of escape, with each other. But is it really worth it?

~ SEQUEL TO TOO MANY BROKEN THINGS ~ The beginning of the new school term is far from anticipated when a number of final year students are planning to resume with sharp bladed knives and bullet filled rifles hidden cautiously in their back pockets. Figuratively speaking, of course. When the New Year Resumption opens with a suffocating air of terror and tension latched around the throats of some students of Castron High, they are left to walk around eggshells with each other, hoping that they will be able to make it through the year in one piece. However, fate has other plans for them as these teenagers are prone to inevitably getting their hands dirty. While friendships are still on the line, Dabeluchi Orji resumes the year with her new 'aura' being a slap to people's faces and the events of her life scripted according to the version she prefers in her head. Marcus Acha is adjusting to his new reputation in Castron High, alongside a barrage of consequences from Home, but he is not done messing his live up over his Love. He dives into playing with fire and putting his life on the line as he goes out on a premeditated quest against of the most dangerous men in the country. After all, all is fair in the game of Love, and soon, dirtier tricks are played, nastier controversies are arising, death threats are following, and Marcus - along with the Igbo Sisters - are setting themselves up for deadly brutal consequences. More than they could have ever bargained for. In a world where Home is Hell, friends are now foes, Love is a gamble, the line between reality and illusions are blurred, and High School is a like a cult, a messed up society of twisted hierarchy and a toxic pecking order, twelve teenagers are falling apart. Only a Monster can break a Monster. But who can fix one?

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?
