"Hey, what happened to your face?" I asked my seat partner, CJ. He turned and took out his book ignoring my question. I took his hoodie down to see the whole damage, "did you get into a fight or something?" I asked. He again didn't answer. I touched his arm, but he pulled away. "Leave me the fuck alone," he finally said. Because of her mother's career, Bianca moves every year. Every year she can choose to be someone different, this year she chooses to be CJ's savior.

"Never call a girl a bitch," I glared into his eyes as he opened them, piercing into me, the bright blue drink I had just poured over him still dripping from his dark hair. "Or she just might act like one." I gave him one last sarcastic smile before pushing by him and walking away, practically strutting. Well, this year will be fun... • • • • Crystal Summers; a self-proclaimed expert in all things sarcastic and the human embodiment of destructive decisions. Trying to get away from her troubled past, she moves with her mom to California to start a new life, and potentially not screw this one up. There, she quickly meets Scarlett and Savanah, her new-found partners in crime, and her life finally begins to feel normal again for the first time in years. But she just so happens to also collide with the school's sexy, notorious jackass, Ashton Monroe.. and his pack of asswipes. She loathes him, and the feeling is mutual. But as the poets say, the line separating love and hate is a very thin one. And often times, when two people hate each other, it can grow into much more. Hopeless devotion, if you will... • • • • !!!TRIGGER WARNING!!! • slight mention(s) of suicidal concepts • substance abuse, addiction, anxiety, PTSD • sexual assault, domestic abuse • strong language and mature scenes • • • •

When Olivia, Jess, Ryan, and all their friends get chosen to go into the "games," only a few people will manage to get out alive. Who will succumb to this sick trial and who will come out on top? (Very Hunger Games like by the way)

Selena's life is in shambles. Isolated by most of her family, witnessing a lifelong friendship crumbling before her eyes, and being torn apart from the boy she fell so idiotically in love with, she doesn't see how things could get much worse. But once again, the universe finds uncanny enjoyment in proving her wrong. On the other end of the spectrum, Conner's not doing much better. Like Selena, his family is completely against Conner and his girlfriend's entire relationship. The only difference being, his family is on the side against him. And as if he wasn't unlucky enough, Selena's handsome and foreign almost-ex-boyfriend picked the perfect time to come and pay them a visit. With more than ever on the line, what started out as harmless fun has morphed into something entirely more heartbreaking. Even best friends have their issues sometimes, right?

Two close friends. Right as they begin their slow separation From one another And take two paths In opposite directions.

-Let's just stay here forever- Alice Clarke lives in a dingy flat in London with her Dad until something changes.Her Dad is killed. She is sent to a home for minors who have gone through trauma. She is silent, blaming herself until she meets Fergus, a Scottish boy filled with energy. He teaches Alice how to be young while she can. But how can Alice stay in such a small town with only Fergus keeping her afloat? She can't possibly let their friendship become more- not when her Dad's just died. Trapped inside her own thoughts, Alice has to face the inevitable truth that she won't be young and with Fergus for long. Not when she leaves. *Any comments and critique and/or corrections are really appreciated* Thank you so much for reading! xx

Basil Forester. An out-going guy, who loves to have fun. If there were only something fun to do in the small Village he hadn't done. With the rest of summer to enjoy before being sent to college, Bas is more bored than ever. He has few mates, because he apparently talks too much. As for girls, he talks too much. It's true, he talks a lot. He talks when he gets nervous. So, when he meets Holly, a mystery girl, light on her feet and ready for some mischief and fun, dropping into town for a few weeks, he decides to befriend her. Maybe he won't be so bored this summer. Plus, what was there to be nervous about? The more he learns about Holly, acting as her tour guide through town, the curiouser he gets. Who is Holly, why is she alone? Has she run away from home, or worse, the police? ~ Oh, hey there! If you've been on any of my other stories, you know my undying appreciation for comments. I dunno, I just like feedback.

The Shade is safe. That's all that matters... At least, that's what Ruth has been taught her entire life. But she's been thinking differently ever since Luke left. What's more important, freedom or safety?
