[#405 in Mystery] There has been a sudden rash of suicides amongst the teenagers of Mahnomen, Minnesota, and while it's certainly tragic, there's been nothing to indicate foul play.
Except for one thing.
None of the teenager's cell phones have been recovered, and sixteen-year-old Nanette Townsend becomes desperate to prove there is more to the deaths of her classmates than meets the eye. As she draws closer to the truth, however, she struggles to recognize friend from foe and resist the darkness that lies dormant in all of us.

This is a FIRST DRAFT. This story was written in a month for the #JustWriteIt #SerialMystery challenge, and due to the time constraints (and my insane work schedule) I wasn't able to put as much thought and time into developing this story as I would have liked. But that's the beauty of contests!
There are themes of suicide in this story. There is nothing graphic, but please let me know if you think this story warrants a "mature" rating and I will change it.

how to catch feelings
Nat returns to campus for her senior year of college. Something's in the air - is it anxiety? Is it pot fumes drifting out of someone's dorm window? Is it Old Town Road, dancing on the breeze? Ope, nope, it's just hope (haha) that maybe, just maybe, a certain friendship with a certain someone might turn into something more. *** YA romcom/murder mystery because why not? Marked mature for language and mention of suicide. *** Excuse the cringey description, I don't usually write this kind of YA.Complete

However, Anne only becomes more interested in Gavin, and she decides to take a prank her friends played on him a step further.

He now lives with his grandfather who is in a deteriorating state of Alzheimer's disease. It's a secret that Gavin must keep. Nobody can know or they will separate Gavin from his grandfather and put them both in state run homes. Gavin's plan is to stay invisible. Once he turns 18, he'll be a legal adult and nobody will be able to separate him from his grandfather. He just has to hold out one more year. But it isn't easy. Everyone needs friends, and now this Anne girl has singled him out. Part of him aches for human contact, and he's not immune to her quirky sense of humor, but she might be totally insane. She's practically stalking him, and if he befriends her, she might find out about his grandfather and ruin his plan. But what if he just wrote her back?

Tired of Lies
*(COMPLETED) "The worst thing about being lied to is knowing you weren't worth the truth." He bit his lip. "I wanted to te-" His eyes began to water and as a single tear fell he looked at me and said "but what if you've been lying for so long you don't know how to tell the truth?" "I have and so will you." He shook his head, shut his eyes, and leaned his forehead against the glass. "And here I was thinking you would admit that you don't tell the truth either." I gripped the telephone as my knuckles turned white. "What do you mean?" "Come on Zoey I've seen you sneaking around acting like you're busy. You're hiding something and you won't tell me." All Zoey Campbell ever wanted to do was keep her head down and get through high school. Too bad it isn't that easy. Zoey is tired of everything and everyone.

All she wants to do is scream but no matter how loud she screams no one can hear her. Don't worry things just get worse. Everyone thinks she's a "sick" girl and just another suicide case waiting to happen. I mean what kind of girl sits by herself everyday right? Zoey is running out of time and she thinks no one has tried to help her until her "special" speech in class. No one really cares about what she really thinks anyway. It just that feeling of pity. Everyone thinks she really is sick but she knows she's not. But what if she is? Maybe all it takes is that one thing to make her snap.

I was 15 when I wrote this. You know she gonna be a mess. Β·Β· This story has a sequel. Go check it out! Β·Β· "There is no fun in this, Mikayla. This life. It's living hell." Β·Β· This was started out of fun on my Instagram account (the original account was deleted but there is now a new one), and a lot of my amazing followers really liked it, which is awesome, and I decided to put it into an official story! I also asked helped for a name for the girl and some of my followers said Kayla. Really, if it wasn't for the positive feedback on the random Michael thing I was doing, I wouldn't be doing this. ~ EmComplete
