"Open your eyes 
And know you're free to come alive 
You gotta live it while you can 
We only get one life"
-Boyce Avenue

Ever since Reina Spinks  was a little girl it was instilled upon her that education is what would lead to a full filling life. It is what she does nearly every waking hour to the point where her friends take her homework just to get her mind off it.

 Her older sister, Edrei, on the other hand didn't tell her parents she dropped out of school without their knowledge and went to LA instead to kickstart her career or getting a record deal. Reina can't help but admire her drive of doing something so many fail to do as she prepares on getting into a good college. It has always been believed she would flourish in an Ivy League campus. 

For awhile Reina thought that was what she wanted as well but certain instances in her seinor year might make her think differently.

24 new emails looked back at you from the screen. You could feel the headache setting in, but you opened your email anyway, looking through the new messages. Two from your statistics professor, about a new assignment, another one from the RA in the dorm building, one from the admissions office, about your application to the study abroad program, one from your American history professor- Hold the phone. You rapidly clicked on the email from the admissions office, scanning through the paragraphs. Reviewing your application to the program... taking into account your grades and your major... looking at schools in the area... pleased to say we can accept you into the program. Accepted. Part of you had forgotten that you had applied in the first place; it had been months ago back at the end of last semester, and then you had gone home for the summer and put it behind you. But being back at school had brought it to the forefront of your mind again. This was great. You had needed some good news today. Turning up the music, you danced out of your desk chair and jumped around the room a little, excited. You were going to Mexico for a semester. You could already picture it now - warm weather, good food, and firsthand experience speaking Spanish for at least six months, maybe more. Not to mention all the adventures you could have in a foreign country. This would be something you would remember for years, and just thinking about it made your day better.

Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

"Aana..." i flinched listening his voice. "Yess", I replied nervously and he took a step forward and held my hand in his. I froze on my place. "I won't harm you!" He said and i took my hand back nodding. __________________ I always wanted to marry Derek Vincent. Marrying him was my dream. He was my everything. My best friend, my crush, my childhood love and soon to be husband. Beside him there was his elder brother totally opposite of Derek. He was my tutor. Although I've always loved Derek, i don't know how his elder brother had the power to froze me on my place. Everytime my heart races when I see him. He makes me nervous just by looking at me. He's strict as a teacher. He's disciplined as a lion. He's perfect as his father. But the problem was I don't like perfect things. I've always believed that anything that shows to be too perfect is never the perfect one. Some people are too good to be true. That's what I feel whenever we cross paths. Everytime i gulp my saliva. Everytime i bite my lips. Everytime my heart skips a beat . Everytime i look at his eyes i feel like he has so much to ask and so much to tell but he never talked to me. Never ever. We only communicated in tution hours and exchange only a word or two. I never saw him looking at me but still i feel like his eyes are pinned on me.That's how he makes me feel only by standing infront of me. Keeping all this confused emotions aside i agreed to get married.To Derek. And that day everything changed cause Derek didn't showed up at the venue. I was standing there with a broken heart and tears. And that day i had to take a decision. A decision that can change my whole life. For good? For bad? I don't know. © All rights reserved.

As I step into the elevator I click the button for the first floor. As the door closes I rest my head against the wall and close my eyes. I really need a nap. I hear the door open and I quickly open my eyes and walk out. As I feel my phone vibrate I take it out and see Mom left me a message. Mom: Have fun and be careful! Especially around those boys. I love you, Taylor. Try not to push yourself too hard, we all have our limits. Right as I was beginning to respond I feel myself bump into something hard. And before I knew it, I was falling. I tightly shut my eyes as I wait for the impact of the fall. But instead, I hear papers hit the ground and feel arms around my waist. I slowly open my eyes to see another pair of blue eyes looking down at me. And even though I've seen a couple of cute guys before, they couldn't compare with this guy. He was beautiful
