Lillian raised her hand. "I believe that is possible for a parent to hate their child. Cause in movies and everywhere you hear parents and they say that they do things cause they love their child when the kid is upset. But I think it's possible that parents do things cause they actually resent their kid.", she rambled. "Wow. Dark, but good insight.", the teacher murmured. Around the room, a few heads nodded and murmurs escaped a couple mouths. She regretted her words as fast as they came out. It was too much. People shouldn't have heard that much from her. Everyone knows that personal beliefs are shaped by each unique life experience.

Sometimes, expecting something out of someone is the worst way to connect with them. Tin Tin Amble knows this all too well, coming from a family with a father who wants him to do everything but what Tin Tin wants to do and a mother living in fear that her marriage isn't scaling up to what she expected. Not to mention two younger siblings who he feels responsible for. Pressure's on to be perfect, but he's anything other than that. In school, he's known as the High School's photographer. He carries his camera with him everywhere and is definitely in the "in" crowd. Then the phrase "Do it, you won't!" is directed at him in particular and he snaps. In desperation to prove himself once and for all, he gives in to prank a girl, also in his Junior class, named Alivia. Little did he know that the prank was all part of God's plan for something more worth while than trying to prove who he is to a bunch of kids. {Started: 11.2.15 Finished: 3.31.16 } (PC: andrewling || Instagram)

Dawn Smith was very bright and always managed to put smiles on anyone's face. Unfortunately, all that changed when she was diagnosed with a deadly illness at an early age. She hung onto her faith, desperately hoping that there was still a slim chance that she'd get healed. Although, being told a few years later at fourteen, that her illness was now incurable, the little faith she held on to had shattered into millions of pieces. She was now left with the idea that there was no God, or if there was one, then He must not love or care for her. So, she changed her views on life, and hated it. But then, an unlikely boy comes into her life and change everything. Will it be for the better or for the worse? Started: April 29, 2016 Ended: May 26, 2018

*This particular write will not be completed. Please go over to where I am rewriting it, in a separate book, with a different cover, but under the same title. You can still read this one, it's just not completed, and, in my opinion, not as good as the new one. Blind since birth, Nicoletta Pearl Daniels has only one way in which to bring a little light and happiness into her life: singing. She had always loved to sing, but she had never dreamed that it could lead to anything, other than a mode to brighten her own day, whenever she was feeling sad or lonely. How will she feel when her parents, seeing her need for music, sign her up for choir school? Is it only something to get through, only to return to normal life, or will it change her life forever? @ProjectShine (Formerly "The Chanter")

Maya Walker is misunderstood. People judge her quickly and usually end up hating what they see. They don't take the time to see that she's smart and in need of hope and love. Maybe they judge her because of her dark looks and personality, or it may be because people have used her past to keep her from having a good reputation and finding herself. What happens when someone starts trying to figure her out? What happens when someone tries to help her find herself? What happens when that someone is the new guy that just happens to be someone important?

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.

Was published, but is now off the market--I'm sorry! Brianne is the opposite of her best friend, Kyla. Kyla is open-minded; Brianne is closed off, judgmental. Kyla is a hopeless romantic. Brianne? Not so much. So when Kyla shoves an apple into her face telling her to throw it across the cafeteria so she can find her future love, Brianne is anything but interested. And yet she throws the apple anyway. Who does the apple hit? Dannon Barone, the most popular boy in school. Though he's seemingly sweet and all-smiles, Brianne dislikes him. She thinks he's a fake, a fraud, someone who is just charming the crowds in order to gain popularity. But Brianne is about to learn that stereotypes are not true, and that she's been too quick to judge those around her. Brianne Nichols' life is about to change forever. And what does she have to thank for it? A bruised piece of fruit. Who would have known that a stupid apple could be right? | technically not part of the summary | Okay, so I know the prenote says to find any errors you can. Just letting you know there's no point to that anymore because I've reedited it two more times after this one (extensively so), and already sent it in to be self-published. The only reason that the prenote is still up is because a fan made an amusing slideshow and if I edit anything then the tags for the wattys will be gone and I'll no longer be entered , hahah!
