There is a distinct difference between who you are in front of others and who you are by yourself. And when you're constantly around others those lines can be blurred beyond recognition.

All in all, there are three things to be learnt about my story: 

1) even in dire situations, teens will continue to be petty, temperamental, and cranky (or is this just Carrie?) 

2) this is not a love story (although I'm pretty sure Alex wants it to be)

3) social hierarchy proves to be ineffective when trying to discover ones true self

Seven teens. Put in an unbelievable circumstance that forces them to trust each other and put their differences aside. But how will that work when you have so many clashing personalities and hormones raging?

Who do you depend on when you feel that you can only trust yourself? 

How do you expect people from completely different social groups to get along?

There is only one answer to all these questions, and that answer can only be found at sea.

Turns out that everything changes while you're drifting.

"Xavier, are you out of your mind? You can't hit anyone you want." I tried to pull him away from the guy. With his temper, he might send him to the hospital for quite a long time. Xavier suddenly stood up, he took my hands in his and pushed me to the wall behind me. He looked deep into my eyes. I got scared, I saw him angry before but never at me. He closed his eyes and put his head against mine. "You make me do crazy things. I'm not letting you talk to any guy from now on. I know I promised that I'll behave, but I can't see you talk or laugh with any guy." How can he be possessive over our juniors? ****************** Hello. I'm Anastasia. You can call me Anna. I'm a normal school girl. Like other kids of my age, I also don't like school. But my reason is different from them. I get bullied every day. It is the same at home also. My cousins bully me. My uncle and aunt only listen to their children. I get punished for their mistakes too. But suddenly one by one all of this bullying stopped. I don't know the reason, but from the moment I started spending time with this new guy who transferred to our school. Everything bad had stopped. *************** Hey. I'm Xavier. I hate school, but I still go there so I can entertain myself. I got expelled from 9 schools already. You see, I can't tolerate ill-mannered people and in school, you can find a bunch of them. So it is fun to make them see their place. In this new school, I found a girl. She was so fragile and oblivious of her beauty. She made me feel warm. So I followed her. I followed her literally everywhere. **************** Hello, lovelies. Hope you like the story.

And now, you won't be the one on the boat throwing me a lifevest like you've always done. That ship sailed long ago.

Brothers Severance

4 parts Complete Mature

We were one of a kind, both as an item and as individuals... We were highly symmetrical, yet still retained difference... But being similar does not mean you are the same. We WERE similar. We used to be... As people grow up, their true colors begin revealing. Some keep the morals they learned from early life, and others make their own. Sometimes it does not even have to do with what you are taught or what you have experienced. Human beings are born into a destiny, born with the pages of their lives written. Some are to be heroes and others are to be villains. Some people think that a person can change, but people do not change. It is only their true self that gets brought out with experiences and years of living. People are who they are and always will be that way. Hell, /I/ have not changed, my brother never changed. YOU will not change. I wish I had known before that I couldn't change him, maybe then things would have ended differently. But it is all over now and we have both served the price. He chose to fall from the top, and I chose to be crushed beneath it...
