(This is the OG draft from 2012. Pre-order the final version, Additive Lies, now on Amazon! Premieres on Amazon on June 30, 2022!) In 2006, the world was witnessing a teen pop act with a breakthrough song of the summer. UTurn was ready to continue to ride the wave of their hard-earned success, but while they do that, they needed to face a major clause in their contract: Finish high school in time. For Alyson and Andrew, they thought everything would still be the same for their senior year, but they were in for a surprise, and it all revolved around Libby. At the same time, Amanda was sure everything was fine with her Connect8 boyfriend, Alex Tredinnick. Yet Alex had a secret that everyone but Amanda knew. Senior Year was sure shaping up to be an eventful year for UTurn. Will they be able to handle all of the drama both in school and the music industry? This is the 3rd book of The One Series. (DISCLAIMER: This is a teen drama where behaviors are exaggerated for the sake of drama. I was also inspired by other teen dramas from both TV and movies. Also, the time period is set in the 2000s. Please keep in mind that behaviors and mindsets were different compared to now.)

"We all left the scene of the crime, committed by death, with stony faces. Every man glancing at another, before withdrawing into our individual abode of thoughts to begin a service of silence, probably for the dead man. The realization that the man with the smile could have been any of us made the silence heavier, the fact that we shall meet the same fate one day fueled the silence as we journeyed on" Reality is the only thing that is real. A collection of vividly descriptive short stories, presenting reality and the mind
