|| Featured FREE story with exclusive paid chapters - previously a paid story || When Haley discovers the truth behind Xavier, whose silence holds a deeper meaning, she sets her mind on making his life better one small step at a time. ***** Haley Rosamond is happy with her simple life, content under the wing of her father. Well-protected, she has no idea of the darkness surrounding Xavier Hunt, with his all-black attire and infrequent presence in school-accompanied by his bruises and scars. That is, until Haley catches a glimpse of Xavier's reality and is made to question everything she knows about family and life in general. The truth, she realizes, couldn't be more different from everything she has heard. Supported by her father, Haley sets her mind on helping Xavier any way she can, and what begins with tutoring sessions, free food, and random acts of kindness blooms into friendship and something a little more. But when Haley's admission into her dream college and another tragedy in Xavier's life threaten to undo everything she has worked for, Haley needs to decide if she'll stick by Xavier or simply be another person in his life that disappears.

After some rough years Matthew O'Neill is trying to piece together a new life with all good things. A pretty, if maybe super religious girlfriend, a group of close, if somewhat crazy friends, a loving, if a bit unusual family. But his mind is still a mess sometimes. Especially when it comes to Allen Thomas. The new dorky student with the wild red hair and bluest eyes ever who just can't seem to leave him alone. Or is it maybe the other way around? _______________________ There was a split second when we smiled at each other in understanding, a tiny fragment of the reality, that we didn't have anything in common. I quickly looked over to the lockers again, but new kid didn't seem to get it, still smiling in the corner of my eye. "I didn't quite catch you name?" "Matt. Actually it's Matthew," I said for some reason, like I seriously cared. "Right, I'm terrible with names. Especially today, I feel like I've met a thousand people already. Matthew, I'll remember that." Well he wouldn't have to. I kinda liked the dry, soft way he said my name though, and the fact that he actually said it, not just the short version, that too many times sounded like a sheep baahing. I actually kinda hated it when people called me Matt.

Il liceo Caravaggio è diviso in due fazioni: quella del Classico e quella dell'Artistico - comunemente rinominati Perfettini e i Fattoni. Questi due indirizzi da tempo immemore condividono lo stesso tetto ma non si può certo dire che vadano in perfetta armonia fra di loro. Fra di essi vi si cela un inequivocabile odio e una inconfutabile repulsione, l'uno l'opposto dell'altro. La fazione del Classico capeggiata da Leonardo Aspromonte, sprezzante e vanitoso, detto il "dio Apollo" per via della sua straordinaria bellezza, si scontra ogni dì con quella dell'Artistico capeggiata da Matilde Castellani, audace e creativa, detta la "dea Atena" per via del suo spirito artistico e combattivo. Entrambi all'ultimo anno, si portano dietro una rivalità senza eguali e un rancore degno delle antiche ballate grazie a uno spiacevole evento avvenuto in passato. Una sorta di tragedia greca che si andrà a scontrare inesorabilmente contro una tela ancora bianca. COPERTINA, BANNER E DIVISORI A CURA ED OPERA DI RainbowCockatoo

- PUBBLICATO IN EBOOK E CARTACEO - - SU WATTPAD L'ANTEPRIMA GRATUITA - Nata negli anni '90, studentessa universitaria, frequentatrice assidua di umani e più bassa di due metri e quindici: Persefone ha davvero un pessimo curriculum divino. I mortali non la venerano, gli Dei non la invitano ai loro eventi mondani, e a lei tutto sommato andrebbe bene così. O almeno crede. Tutto cambia quando a una conferenza incontra Ade, Dio dei morti e gentiluomo d'altri tempi. Anche il suo è un bagaglio pesante: trecentomila anni in più sull'età, cinquanta centimetri in più sulla statura, almeno venti titoli in più sul nome. Ma è anche l'unico a capire la passione di Persefone per la giurisprudenza, nonché l'unico che sembri a disagio in mezzo agli altri Divini tanto quanto lei. Poteva forse non scattare la scintilla? I due si ritrovano a intrecciare i loro destini e a lavorare insieme per emettere una sentenza controversa, collaborando a un processo ultraterreno nel tribunale degli Inferi. E così, a metà tra ironia e serietà, tra equità e rigore, tra vita e morte, si srotola la rivisitazione (semi)moderna di un mito che non ha mai smesso di venir raccontato. - Copyright 2019 © Giulia Calligola - Quest'opera è protetta da copyright, registrata su Patamu.
