Settling into campus life at the posh Reyersen Academy acting school, Oliana Mercer prepares for an audition for a lead part in a play called Cold. She soon discovers that her new roommate, Mya, is not only vying for the same role but is related to the actress who was murdered in the East Wing. As more stories surface, including the one about a student who went missing a year ago, Oliana wants to find out what's going on. With hardly any clues, she starts snooping around and descends into Reyersen's forbidden East Wing, which mirrors the set for the upcoming play.

Every few years Witness Protection would knock on her door, change her look and whisk her off to another state with a new guardian. It's worked for the last 12 years and as far as Alana was concerned it would work for at least 12 more. And anyways, the case has long gone cold, with no new evidence ever surfacing. And it probably never will. Or so she thinks. When death threats start being sent to Alana May, the case of her parent's murder is reopened. Meanwhile, she heads towards her final months of high school. Alongside her best friend Chloe, who she refuses to acknowledge is her best friend, and Blake, the mysterious new bodyguard who Alana knows she will never understand, she searches for new clues to find the people who completely turned her life upside down. Will anything ever return to normal?

This is Not My Home by MsRubyGrunch

What defines a home? Maybe it's where we lay our heads at night. Maybe it's the people we love and care for. Maybe it's a place away from civilization, or a feeling that can come only when we are at our greatest moments. Ollie Sky thought she knew the answer, enrolling into an academy she'd been asked to join. She was going to find a new home, one away from her family. She was going to make friends and join communities. Learn new things and perfect old skills. Life had been good, living in that academy. As one of its youngest students, she was always daunted by the large hallways, the professors, the students themselves. But most of all, the technology. Including time travel. Looking back on the question she was asked so long ago, it becomes obsolete and answerless. She has no home, no academy, no family, and no friends. A sixteen-year-old, trapped in a timeline that is not her own. ~ : ~ | + | ~ : ~ This is a prequel to Name by @Mizuthe_cat, following the character "Ollie."
