Ivy is the new kid at school. 9th grade to be exact. She knows she is considered "ugly." Then she meets Jay and her whole world changes. Jay couldn't possibly like her back! She was hideous... an embarrassment... she didn't belong. Jay does kind things for her, like carrying her books to class, bringing her a special lunch treat... but he was fooling her... he wanted her to be humiliated... somehow. Or was that all in her head? Was Jay truly being a kind person? Who would be kind to a girl like her?
(I bingewatched Twilight Zone and came upon the Eye of the Beholder episode. I kept thinking back upon it. What they say is true. Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder... I hope one day we as humans decide that looks don't matter, personalities do.)

Bring Me To Life (Book One Complete!)
Ivy Wiles' biggest problem in school used to be getting the attention of her biggest crush. Now that Rex is single, that issue is gone but worse things are just getting started. Ivy begins to see visions and dreams of Rex being tortured... and the voices she hears tells her that the only way to save him is by killing his ex-girlfriend. She doesn't know if it's the stress or hormones, but she does know it's beginning to interfere with her life. Can she figure out why she's having these dreams and build a lasting relationship with the guy of her... dreams? ---- International Magical Dictate #42: "Anyone who exhibits slightest hints of magical or otherwise abilities must learn to control and hone their nature in a school suitably away from the presence of non-magical folk." ---- Life at the Pionscor Academy of Magic is amazing - that is, if you're a member of the Wyvern Style. For us vampires and other outcasts in the Ketu Style, it's a second-class existence in the oldest parts of the school. We're the ones who would never have been invited if it wasn't law. But life as a Ketu isn't all that bad. We get to leave campus whenever we want; we get away with a lot more than the other Styles; and I get to have classes with the absolutely amazing Rex Troffel. My name is Ivy Madrigal L'stonia Sable Wiles, and this is a story of how I saved the boy I love and the school I hate from total destruction... | inspired by Tara Gilesbie, cover by @seanarturo |Complete

Everyone in her class was special in a way, even the geeks. There was no average kids, only her. To make things worse, the smart students have been chosen. They were chosen to train and protect their world, Xigix. Xigix calls them CPs which stands for Coolest People since they all think they are so cool. She does not have any hate towards them but the chosen people from her class out of the 6 chosen CPs were the 2 popstars and the 2 princesses, not her. Melinda was upset, the only cool thing was that she dated one of the popstars but they decided to be friends after all. She did not mind that but she does realise that she is the big outcast of the class but on her 18 birthday, she realises something really special. She happens to be the Nyphm of the Ocean. She really is one of the 6 Nypmhs of Xigix together with her not-so-cool classmates, Laurel and Jessilyn, Nymph of Elements and Nymph of the Soul. The other nymphs turn out quite stunning too.

The Girl I Used To Be
Book 1 of the "Used to Be" Series Scarlett Fisher: the school's resident mean girl. Beautiful, smart (but doesn't let people know), charismatic, confident (or at least that's what everyone thinks.) The truth is, she's scared, Scared that one day people will see past her smile and charm, and see the person she really is on the inside. Scared that someone will remember who she used to be. ~•~ Now I know I seem like a bitch, and your probably thinking I'm your stereotypical mean girl, but I wasn't always like this, back when high school first started. I had a best friend who I thought I would be friends with forever. I was shy and timid, and I was foolish enough to believe what people told me. Back then everyone knew me as Arora. After the incident I decided to stop going by my first name, I had also learned that being mean, and not taking anything form anyone was the only way to get people to treat you with respect. ~•~ Arora Fisher: the girl most people didn't notice until they needed help with homework, the girl who was voted most likely to disappear and no one would notice. The girl who her believed in the good in others, who wanted to just give people a chance, no matter how many red flags. The girl who was lost to tragedy. ~•~ "We'll be broken together." He try's to smile, but he can't manage it and I nod, knowing how much pain he feels. "We'll be broken together." I whisper, after that we sit there, in an empty silence, neither of us wanting to be the first one to speak again, because it feels off, like the sound of our own voices might somehow break our hearts more.Complete
