Alta Rose Jennings is a debutant, beauty queen, and all-around goody-two-shoes from an old money family in Macon Georgia, who is always doing what is expected of her. Until her father decides that it's time for her to meet a nice young man, worthy of her standing and preferably of his choosing, and settle down. For the first time in her life Alta is refusing to do what is expected, and rather than marry some old money lawyer, she packs everything she owns, empties her bank account, and sets out to make her own way as far away from her parents as possible. Six months later, she finds herself down to her last $300 dollars, and trying to find a job at a diner in Rosaline Utah. Where she meets the sweet, puppy-eyed, waiter, Max Jones. Upon hearing that she has nowhere to go, Max offers her a place to stay with himself and his six roommates... Whom he happens to have an open relationship with. Alta's world is turned upside down. From homeless and losing hope to a happy home with eight beautiful men, who want nothing more than to love and cherish her, and each other. The eight of them have found love, and they'll do whatever it takes to keep it. *Disclaimer* This story contains mature themes that are inappropriate for minors.

Don't talk to strangers. That warning had never been more true, especially when Sang encounters an odd woman outside the closest gas station. Who would have known how quickly that old woman could turn her world upside down? Sang hadn't meant to summon a spirit. Especially not nine of them. (Most characters/situations/locations are based off C.L. Stone's Ghost Bird series.)

[DISCONTINUED] Aya Kurosawa didn't mean to board the wrong bus or bump into Sang Sorenson or start a fight in the mall. She sure as hell didn't intend on getting tangled up with Academy boys, and nine of them at that. Her problem isn't with the boys, but the fact that they're from the Academy is troubling. After all a girl with secrets tends to keep them buried under six feet of lies. And it's hard to keep it hidden when you've got a pack of dogs sniffing around. (I do not own pictures used throughout the story nor the Ghost Bird/Scarab beetle characters. Those are CL Stone's intellectual property. I only own the original character Aya Kurosawa and several others.)

°.✩┈┈∘*┈. Ophelia Blake. A lone wolf and a punching bag. Both phrases describe her well. But she didn't choose these titles. They were forced onto her since she was a child. She thinks of herself as these things. But maybe nine boys and one girl can change her mind and make her see that she is so much more. ┈*∘┈┈✩.° 𝑒𝑥𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑝𝑡 . . . "Don't you know it's a bad idea to drink coffee for your breakfast, lunch, and dinner? Perhaps some pancakes would be better." Kota suggested, his emerald gaze sweeping over the disgraceful mess in front of him with a calm demeanor as if he wasn't currently on the wrong side of town in a house with roaches near a girl who could have gotten him killed. Ophelia snorted, the coffee she was drinking traveling up the wrong pipe. She threw her body over the side of the sink and spit out the hot beverage. Startled eyes found his after a moment a moment of silence that filled the room after her near death experience. "What in the backwater fuck are you doing here?" She screeched, hands taking a napkin from the stack on the counter and roughly drying the spittle from her lips. Kota shrugged from his position on the couch, a nonchalant action that didn't seem to fit the worried concern floating around in his eyes. "You haven't been to school in three days." He stated, no question in the tone of his voice. The girl hugged herself and sighed. "Best three days of my life and I'm trying to make it four so if you would please..." She gestured to the door but the boy stayed seated. Ophelia sighed. "Yeah, knew that was coming." Kota's posture changed instantly as he watched her fractured movements with care, taking notice of her limp. The brunette cringed. Guess she had some explaining to do.

Once something is online it can never be removed. For Sang that's exactly what she wants. With a camera and a library computer she shares evidence of her life, never to be erased. Helping a group of attractive boys doesn't hurt either. Will they realize she needs help too before it's to late? **This is a fanfiction of C.L. Stone's Academy world. They are great books and you should definitely check them out!**

I have ideas and love to write out the first chapter before I forget. These are stories I want to write or want others to write. Most will be Sang and her boys. Still not sure if I'll add the Toma team yet. This is a one shot fan fiction collection of CL Stone's Academy series. I have no claim on her characters or story.

This is now an original story published on Amazon under the name The Duet Dilemma by Maggie Evans. ♥
