Secrets, betrayals, and love pave the path for Irissa. Will she choose her own fate, or succumb to the science that promises a brighter future?

Loving someone who doesn't notice your existence is hard. Loving someone who loves someone else is even harder. But, darling, I guess that's love.

Stormy doesn't remember what happened the day she and Jax were found at the age of six. They had been abandoned and left in the middle of the forest. But she knew it had something to do with their secret. Stormy and Jax grew up in foster care and never had anyone to explain why they held this secret. That was until Stormy met Rex and he changed her life forever. After Rex opened her eyes to a whole new world she never knew existed, he left and she thought she'd never see him again, but she was wrong. If a possessive alpha and an overprotected brother weren't enough, she then has to deal with the discovery of her past. Why were they abandoned? Where were her parents?

When it comes to seventeen-year-olds Aurora “Rory” West and Kale Mathews, there is no such thing as the concept of ‘common ground.’ Their interactions (the few that they have) are always filled with overly-sarcastic remarks and countless number of trips to the principal’s office. One day, when a particular interaction goes a bit too far, their principal decides to punish them with The Baby Project- a month long project, worth more than half their grade, that requires them to parent a fake baby. In the beginning, the partnership is discarded as a joke by both students. However, when threatened with the possibility of expulsion, Rory and Kale reluctantly agree to make peace for the sake of their education. Over time, something changes, making them question their thoughts and feelings. They say there's a thin line between love and hate, but will a baby be the last push? (Editing but still updating)

Update: This story has been discontinued. - I am terribly sorry. Your mother lied to you. She told you that you were unique, and that as a teenager you have a whole bunch of options you can choose from to determine who you want to be. She must have been high. Look, I'm going to tell you this honestly. Somewhere out there in this floating sphere of green and blue, there's a person who acts just like you. It's the combinations of different personalities - which eventually lead up to an actual human being - that makes us all unique. But it can't hurt to find out where your personality stems from, right? Wanna know who you are? I'll help you out. There are 36 students in my classroom. Which one are you?
