Zoey Castro is the wallflower of Asheville High. She's just another girl who doesn't live up to her parent's expectations, another girl who wishes she was perfect and fashionable like cheer leader Adira Scott. Zoey's not a loner, she's the kind of girl that likes to stay under the radar, with her only friend, Gage Prince. But her anonymity and privacy aren't about to last. When she starts dating football quarterback Eathan Harker, she thinks life is sweet. Besides Gage starting to act weird and the usual teenager stuff, she's doing great. When tragedy strikes the small town of Asheville, North Carolina, life isn't so sweet anymore. Zoey's newly discovered limelight is putting her in the most danger of her life. Even more dangerous than Eathan Harker and Gage Prince both being in love with her. A serial killer is going after the 'popular' girls of Asheville High, and guess who's right at the top of his list? Zoey Castro, the wallflower. And her hypnotizing wallflower effect is about to get her in loads of trouble. *Note. I've noticed people seem to think this is a teen romance. It's not. It's marked as a thriller for a reason. There's some violence and other things that make it different from your average romance, so please, don't be surprised if it's a tad gory.*

acrophilia. noun. (uncountable) a love of heights. "For your information, some people actually enjoy heights and are not suicidal. I was just appreciating the view, enjoying the wind. I was actually enjoying life until you ruined the moment," he spits, carrying so much resentment that Jaebeom actually feels sorry. "I... I'm sorry. You just... looked like you wanted to jump." "You should've thought better before ruining my perfect moment and throwing me to the ground, which by the way, hurts like hell. Ass." (...) When Jaebeom's life is going down, he meets a strange boy who turns his world upside down. /crossposting on AO3/

"What the hell?" I took a step closer to the mirror, staring at my reflection in disbelief. The person looking back was still me, but at the same time it wasn't. I had the same thick, dark, curly hair. The same hazel eyes. The same olive skin with a light dusting of freckles (ugh) scattered across the bridge of my nose. But my curls were now streaked with highlights. And not the subtle, golden-brown ones that sometimes appeared during the summer. No, these were an aggressive, dazzling blond that went from the roots of my hair all the way to the tips. It looked like I had spent a full day getting my hair done in some upscale salon. Never mind that I had never set foot in such a place since the day I was born. My eyes appeared somehow wider and more luminous. The colour brighter, my eyelashes darker up against them. And, when I looked closely, my pupils seemed to be slitted almost like a cat. I looked down at my body. My skinny arms-which had always refused to gain any definition no matter how hard I exercised-were lined with flat, wiry muscles. My bony shoulders were now curved and smooth. My scrawny legs were toned like a dancer. I reached down and lifted my shirt, revealing two subtle lines running vertically down my perfectly flat stomach, hinting at the rock-hard abs underneath. My whole body was rippling with strength. Like liquid steel.

Rachel, a junior assistant in the cargo bay, wasn't prepared for the spaceship's AI to gain awareness during what should have been a routine update, nor had anyone expected it to take exception to the crew and the crates of illegal cargo aboard. Rachel races against time to try and get life-saving systems back online while stranded in the middle of deep space. Unfortunately for her, the AI can access every system, door, and airlock. As truths emerge, the AI realizes that even computers can make miscalculations, and it focuses on the young woman who had dared to confront it. Rachel is left floundering when the AI decides that she would make an excellent captain, albeit one in need of training. As she struggles to learn her new duties and dodge shady government groups, she must ultimately discover what it truly means to be a Starship Captain. ------- There is no romance in this story.

My name is Ash (Or at least that's what it is now), I was only 15 when this started. My parents needed money so they brought me to an orphanage to look for jobs. And that was the last time I saw my parents. There I was sold literally for an experiment, 592, and what would happen next was out of my imagination. They took me to a lab... in a cage. They said that I'd have to get used to it for a while. After a few days, I was brought out of the cage. They let me run around a bit to stretch my legs and after that, I was led to a room and strapped to a cold hard table. The scientist came over to me with a needle with a green serum in it and injected it into me. Then my world went black. This awesome cover was made by mysterygirl7913! Go check her out 'cause she is AMAZING!
