Nolan, an unapproachable guy who ignores the existence of all his schoolmates, sleeps in all of his classes. Normally, this wouldn't be Chelsea Arnold's problem-she does her best to pay attention in class and attends gym like a good, normal student. Unfortunately, she just so happens to be his assigned desk partner in many classes. She's frequently forced to wake him in English class and ends up earning the unofficial title of Nolan's Wake-up Alarm-a title that nobody in the entire school covets. The last thing she wants is to interact with him more than she absolutely has to. One day, their gym teacher sends her to bring him back to class, which he always skips for some reason. When she accidentally shines her flashlight in his sleeping face, it triggers a chain of events that gradually intertwines their lives together. It's hard to be a normal student when you start befriending the school oddball. It doesn't help that he has more secrets than the Big Ben has stairs. ----- Complete.

"Jezebel looked down at the ground that wasn't really the ground, and bent in her inhuman movements, bowing. 'Long live the Queen,' she peered up at me, a wide smile on her blood red lips." *** Holly was sort of a jerk - she was bossy, cocky, and refused to take orders from anyone else. But, that doesn't mean you could write her off as just another brat with too high of an ego; this girl is the Queen of Hell, and getting on her bad side was not a good idea. Especially since her idea of success is destroying the world. Demons, angels, and prophets, 'Man of Sin' encapsulates you in a paranormal world filled with death, betrayal, and sin. ****** Note: this story heavily focuses on religion, the end of times, the destruction of good, fight against god, etc. Gore and sexual scenes are depicted in this story. I don't want to offend anyone, so if you're opposed to reading that type of thing, this isn't the story for you. :) cover by : @diwatera
