"Sometimes, you have to kind of die inside in order to rise from your own ashes and believe in yourself, and love yourself enough to become a new person." _ Gerard Way _ ᪥᪥᪥᪥ Hilary Idara Eghosa has always been one of the Elites in Crestview International Academy. Being one of the kids at the top of the social food chain, most people were of the notion that she was just another privileged rich kid that has had everything handed down to her on a silver platter. She never really allowed the rumours to get to her, basking in the love and care showered on her by her family and friends... as well as the attention she got from being in a relationship with one of the most popular guys at Crestview. What more could she want? But Tragedy struck few weeks to the beginning of her senior year and everything began to fall apart little by little. The Rumors increased, more unbearable than ever and she had no idea how to handle how fast things were spiralling out of control.

However, she realized with time that life didn't revolve only around her and that everyone within her circle and around her also had problems of their own... Way Bigger Problems...

**** Money. Wealth. Fame. Power. They have it all. But beneath the glitz and glamour lies something far more sinister. Denise never imagined that her past was a lie. That twelve years ago, her life had been stolen from her. Growing up in the slums of Lagos, she learned not to dream-dreams didn't belong to people like her. All she wanted was a way out, a job to pull her and her sister out of poverty. But when the truth comes crashing down, her simple existence is ripped apart. She isn't just another struggling girl-she is the long-lost daughter of one of Nigeria's wealthiest families. And they want her back. Thrown into a world of untold riches, Denise is expected to adjust, to play her part in a life she never knew existed. But not all that glitters is gold. Her twin sister despises her, her new family is drowning in secrets, and the mystery of her kidnapping looms over her like a dark shadow. To make things worse, Bellrich Academy-the elite school she now attends-is a battlefield of ruthless rich teens, social hierarchies, and cruel mind games. And lurking beneath it all? A serial killer picking off students one by one. In this world, failure is not an option. Survival means navigating deadly secrets, deadly people, and deadly truths. Because in the world of the elite, the most dangerous thing Denise can be-is unprepared.

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?

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?
