"I didn't ask to be in the middle of your ego-battle," I grumble. Blake pins me to my locker, hands resting on either side of my head. "Well, you got it in anyway, Darling," he whispers. His face is inches away from mine and damn me for licking my lips. I am NOT falling for these guys. And then, at the corner of my eye I spot Owen and his gang approaching. Well, that's just great. *** The West and East gang of Tygerwell have been at each other's throats since the dawn of time. And the two leaders of these gangs want to end the fight, once and for all. But fighting with fists is easy. Fighting with wit and charm, is a whole other ball game. Blake. West-side gang leader. Leather jacket and killer glare. Don't talk back. Owen. East-side gang leader. Fancy coat and toxic stare. Don't resist. And in comes Amber. Hair of gold and oceans in her eyes. Has too much sass for her own good and always, ALWAYS, manages to get into the middle of trouble. But these boys have no idea who they're really dealing with. And when Amber descovers she knows a little too much when it comes to guns and fighting, she has to question everything she thought she knew about herself. Three can play this game. *** "Let's settle this. You got rejected, I got rejected. It's only fair that the fate of the gangs be on who gets the girl first." "That sounds rather good, Rhodes. I'll take that bet on the golden girl." *** COMPLETED FICTION AWARDS: Best new story and best new account Highest ranking in Teen Fiction: #1 on 25/06/2018

The Girl In A Vintage Dress By Chelsea Parker Lumipas man ang ilandaang taon, pagtatagpuin at pagtatagpuin ang dalawang tao na itinakda ng tadhana para sa isa't isa. Nagsimula ang lahat nang sumama si Ayu sa field trip ng klase nila. Para daw mas ramdam nila kung ano talaga ang ibig sabihin ng "history," imbes na sa museum ay sa isang lumang bahay na hitik ng throwback items sila dinala ng kanilang history teacher. Doon, isang lumang picture ng babae ang natagpuan ni Ayu. Pero nasira niya iyon. At sa takot na mapagalitan ng teacher nila, wala siyang choice kundi ibulsa ang litrato. Dahil doon, nagsimula na ang kalbaryo ni Ayu nang pumunta naman siya sa lumang bahay ng kanilang pamilya. Maya't maya na lang kasing may nagpapakita sa kanya na isang babae-in a vintage dress! But that was ten years ago. At ngayon, nagbalik si Ayu sa kanilang lumang bahay. Siguro naman, panis na ang multo. Pero nagkamali siya ng akala. Dahil nasa harap na niya ngayon-in flesh-ang babaeng noong una ay inakala niyang multo. Julia ang pangalan nito. At sa paglipas ng mga araw na nakasama niya ang babae ay minahal niya ito. At nakahanda siyang sundan si Julia sa taong 1896 sakaling bigla itong maglaho...
