BOOK ONE of the Colors of Us series ----- "You know it's very rude to text your boyfriend while you're at dinner with your family." My eyes shoot up to Vic's as she sits across the table from me, sipping her sweet tea, innocent as ever while our parents converse beside us. "You know it's very rude to repeatedly call someone something they're not," I mock. Vic just smirks. "Yet," she says, twirling pasta onto her fork. "Don't think I haven't noticed that you eat lunch together. Or that he's practically attached at the hip with you in paint." I roll my eyes. "We're friends. That's kinda how friendship works, if you weren't aware," I say, spooning soup into my mouth. "He looks at you, you know. When you're not looking. That's like the number one sign that a guy likes you," she says. I shake my head. This conversation is useless with my impressionable little sister who's probably read a few too many romance novels. "Whatever," I say with a laugh. ---------- Astrid Keller, self-proclaimed theatre nerd and aspiring artist, expected her junior year of high school to be no different than any other year of her life. Anxiety ridden and utterly shy, she was content with being invisible and anti-social as always. But life had other things in store for her. And an incident on the first day of school has her socializing with the notoriously adorable Will Haven-and possibly crushing on him. Before she knows it, she knows more about this boy than even his closest friends do. But how is she supposed to tell him she likes him when she couldn't even talk to him only months before?

When the future Alpha, a major player rejected her for the Queen B, Genesis and her two best friends came up with a plan to give the arrogant future alpha the taste his own medicine. What happens when your plan works too well? What happens when you attract not only the arrogant alpha but also a powerful creature that won't take no for an answer? "Now my sunshine, we're all alone," he utters with some satisfaction. His hair is mussed up sexily. His skin is a bit flushed from all the running he just did. Oh goddess, he's still the sexiest man I've ever laid my eyes on. "What are you planning to do to me?" I ask him warily. His eyes rake up and down my body as if he can see through my clothing. "What do you think I would do to you, sunshine?" he sounds amused, almost indulgent. His lips curl up into a feral smile. His silver-gray eyes flashed with anger and hunger and desperation. It sets my pulse racing. He's not really amused. I can tell. "Maybe I'm tired of waiting. Maybe I'm tired of chasing after you. Maybe it's time for me to catch you, Genesis." Cuddly bunnies and fuzzy slippers!!! I don't know about this. Do I want to get caught?

"Are you scared because your dad is the sheriff?" "Why do you keep on asking me that?" "I won't stop until I get a proper answer." Lana Jane Willson, just a depressed and misunderstood geeky teenager because of her glasses and her dad being the Sheriff.

Four popular boys, suspicious about Lana, reignite an old bet that her 'true' self will be exposed as time goes on. One night in Lana's life changes everything. The only people to help her are her tormentors. This causes the boys to have more questions, fights, and arguments more frequently. The more people involved, the more questions arise, secrets reveal themselves, trust is shattered, feelings become blurred and friendship is ripped apart. While Lana sees, the good and forgives easily, others search for the bad to try and defeat it. People cross our path for a reason but for a second chance, it does not always mean to have a happy ending. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PART 1 & 2 Highest Rank: 1 in Teen Fiction (27/12/16)

*Short Story* It is difficult to stay with the people who look down at you like you are some kind of disease. It hurts when they don't want to acknowledge you for the good things you have done. It hurts when your family rejects you only because you are quiet and weak saying you are good for nothing. Annie Ryan was nothing but a quiet, innocent teenager waiting for her mate to save her from the dark hell she was living in. She had only one dream, she wanted to feel loved, she wanted someone to tell her that they care and would love her no matter what happens. But little did she know that she was just another unfortunate soul whose mate had different plans. Caden was an young alpha. He had everything but where everyone was eager to meet their mate, he wasn't. He had already given his position of alpha female to his girlfriend. But after she left him, he turned cold and ruthless. But when he met Annie, his mate, one thing was clear. He wanted nothing to do with her. He asked her to leave but when she declined, he paid her no attention like she never existed. Annie was broken. Her dream was just a dream. Every night she closed her eyes, she realized she was going to die alone with no one to care. She wanted to end her life but not before setting everything right, not before her destined alpha mate finds his happiness. Caden didn't know what he was missing until he lost it. Maybe that's how life works. Maybe that's why it is called cruel.
