*Featured Story* Monica 'Manic' Knightley is someone every girl turns to when confused. Her column 'Manic Makeovers' in a leading fashion magazine is a bible for any female who wears clothes.

So when Monica is invited to a ball dance in an elite university upstate, she's expecting some praiseworthy attires. What she isn't expecting, however, is Edward Moseby. With his perfectly tailored blue tux, orange tie paired with green Crocs he thinks he's got it all. Not according to Monica though, the sight of his horrendous ensemble nearly makes her half bald with anxiety. When Edward accidentally asks her for a dance, like any other sensible girl, she corners him and rips his tie off. Now with Edward seeing Monica as a sexually deprived woman and Monica taking him as one of the worst dressed in the history of worst dressed, they're both on a mission to fix each other for the better. A tragic tale of gaudy Crocs, sky-high Jimmy Choos, and everything in between. [Humor #13]

Ari Callahan has no idea how to talk to boys -- or how to talk to anyone for that matter. Enter Zac, the cute new guy in town who won't stop texting her. But is his interest real, or does he have a hidden agenda? ***** Found as a young child washed up on the beach, 17-year-old Ari Callahan has never uttered a word out loud to anyone -- not even her adoptive family. Psychologists have diagnosed her with a condition called selective mutism, but Ari can't help identifying with her namesake character, Ariel, the little mermaid in the fairytale whose voice was stolen by a sea witch. Mermaid-obsession aside, Ari's silence makes socializing tough. She's never had a boyfriend or been asked out on a date. Not until Zac, the confident new arrival in town, asks for her number. But Zac has his own reasons for texting with Ari. He's part of a movement to sabotage the artificial music app called SirenSong, threatening to render human singing obsolete. Zac's collaborators have scoured the globe in search of a singing voice perfect enough to break the SirenSong spell, and their search has led them straight to Ari's beachside town. Will her relationship with Zac help Ari find her voice and unlock the secrets of her origins? Or will he use her and leave her high and dry? Title: Ari and Zac (formerly The Mermaid Hypothesis) Content Warning: This story contains references to selective mutism, suicidal thoughts, and early childhood trauma.
