“That was marvelous!” He said. “Great job, Frank. Or, should I say, Franchesca?” I took a deep breath. A very, very deep breath. “Oh my God,” Was the most intelligent thing I could say. “’Oh my God’ is correct. How long have you been lying to us?” “Since the first day of school.” I couldn’t help but answer truthfully. “Why?” “A lot of reasons. Reasons you can’t understand.” “Try me.” “I’d rather not.” He sat down next to me on the edge, and for the first time since I got to the pool, I felt like covering myself up. Sure, my one-piece covered everything required, but I still felt… odd. I mean, one of the perfect boys from Connor Stanley was sitting right next to me. And for the first time, within the walls of this school, I was Franchesca. “Try me.” ********** Franchesca Hyde is an unwanted daughter. Her father and mother, a famous music producer and supermodel, had an unplanned pregnancy, and ended up with an odd looking girl. Wanting to keep their reputation up, they introduced Chesca as Frank to the world. Now, sixteen years later, her parents ignore her, and don’t even notice when she dyes her hair a completely different color. They even set up a year-long trip to Europe, leaving Chesca behind. They stick her into a prestigious all-boys school in New York, Connor Stanley. At Connor Stanley, she has four hot roommates, Anthony, Derek, Paul, and Mark. Her best friend, back-up best friend, friend, and unknown. Her relationship with Mark is always uncertain, and she never knows where she stands. Will they ever find out about her double identity?

Everyone has three lives, a public life, a private life and a secret life. Skylar Callaway has taken this quote to the extreme. She is the most introvert, silent, unknown girl in her public life. No one but the teachers know her name and no one cares enough to find out. Everything changes in her private life. Street racing, fights and her garage becomes her personal heaven. Her status as leader of one of the most feared gangs in town makes other shudder in fear. And that is just as she likes it. Her secret life is something no one but her knows. She's silent, lethal and doing a pretty good job at being the biggest mystery she can be.. That is until a certain popular boy unravels the one thing she cherishes the most. She's thrown in a rollercoaster of awkward situations, fights, races and sudden kisses.

As if life wasn't hard enough being bullied and treated like garbage all the time; my loathsome, insufferable seat mate just had to come with his "secrets" and torture my every waking hour. What's the big deal you say? Nothing except for the fact that he's some insanely beautiful Greek God under those nerdy glasses. And now, he lives next door. I'm Sarah and this is my story.

"If you prick me do I not bleed? If you tickle me do I not laugh? If you poison me do I not die? And if you wrong me shall I not revenge?" - William Shakespeare "If revenge motivates you, go for it! But the main thing is to set your game in order" -Viswanathan Anand Anand and Shakespeare sure do have a way with words. Who knew this poem would be talking about me. I have been poisoned. I have been pricked. I have been motivated. I shall laugh. I shall revenge. I swear with every fibre of my being I shall revenge. My affairs are in billions of order. I am Nathan Arriaga and this is my story.

Cousins Kevin and Georgina Peterson were not so lucky to be in a "family" that respected and wished for their joy. Being 3 years older, Kevin has always felt protective over Georgina. That might stem that they are the last close-linked members of the Peterson family. No surprise there when they are more like twins than cousins. Call it fate, or just a freak chance, they end up marrying into the same family, hoping for respect, joy and togetherness. However, they will not find that in the Davis clan. Their lives were made miserable by the members and friends of the powerful and wealthy Davis. People said they only married for the money and prestige but they didn't care, after all, words can't hurt people right? Oh, but they can. And they do. Topping that with the emotional and mental abuse they suffered at the hands of their respective spouses was enough to drive them away. Unwittingly, the Davis gave them more than the Peterson's came with. No, not 50 percent of the Davis wealth. They received nothing. But they received a will power and a drive and most of all a promise to never let any person hurt them ever again. And that mantra has done them well. Really well, if you consider them being in the list of the wealthiest family in Europe and Asia. Ever expanding the wealth and money, brings them back to where it all started. And with a wink and a smirk, they can confidently decree three little words; "We're back baby!" So sit back and read as hell unfolds.
