"I've seen you checking me out." "Oh god." "Honestly, I'm flattered." ♂ This story is about Steven and his journey to 'finding himself'. He doesn't dig the name, either. Together with his best friends, Darren and Leila, he discovers that the world isn't all about Applebee's and turning up early for football practice like he taught himself when he signed up to be friends with Darren. Maybe not everything is as it seems.

When Jordan Cameron was ten years old, his mother stopped speaking and was never the same again, going from one institution to another and ultimately to a group home. While his father explores the world as a well-renowned geoscientist, Jordan's older brother, Tim, is forced to raise him. Tim, eleven years older than Jordan, never had a normal childhood, living with their schizophrenic mother. Jordan lives in his own world, or so that's what it seems to the average person. No one, not even his brother, has ever given him a chance. That is until Tim's best friend comes along. Jamie Perron has a history of bad relationships, alternating between men and women. This last time he is kicked out by his girlfriend and has nowhere to go so he turns to his best friend, Tim. Jamie only knew Jordan as a child, but never did he think he would develop an unusual relationship with Tim's weird, quiet, and sullen (although cute) nineteen old brother through the course of one exciting and interesting summer.

Eve considered herself a respectable girl before finally coming to terms with her one flaw: addiction. She always made promises to herself to never drink, never act or dress inappropriate and most importantly never to try any type of drug. However, she begins to break all her promises, one by one as she climbs up the roller coaster of meth and addiction to other substances. But a roller coaster can only go so high without dropping, right?

"I'd appreciate it" Mr. Robinson said, turning back around to face the class, "If you didn't do that again." Agnes knew that was aimed at her. He didn't even have to say her name and it was all about her. Whether or not she had intended to, she knew what she had done. She had planted a seed in his brain. Although his interest had burned away from her she knew that her words, her lips, her eyes were imbedded in his brain. She knew what he would be dreaming about tonight.

I wish I had never fallen in love with a murderer... What would you do for love? 17 year old Bella Lauder never thought she would fall in love, let alone kill for it.
