Sylvia dreams vividly. Increasingly she's finding these dreams hard to forget, but that's not a problem, right?
Life at Samjay's is pretty tedious. Same teachers trying to stretch her, same housemistress watching her every move, same scenery in the grounds that they're forbidden from leaving. Even her best friends Zack and Elliot are resorting to increasingly elaborate schemes to keep themselves entertained. Luckily her partner in crime Luciel is on hand to stop her getting into too much trouble, joining her on escapades involving conspiracy theories, exotic environments, and out-smarting the baddies by finding novel uses for toothpaste.
But when a stranger arrives at the institute, things start getting a little to real for Sylvia's liking. Can she keep her cool under changing circumstances, or is her imagination getting out of control?

Dream Journal: The Chronicles. Vol. 1- Delilah's Story
Ten years Delilah had lived within the walls of The Protectorate, a school of sorts for young female's such as her. 'Gifted' they had been called. But what was a gift for some, was torture for Delilah, feeling trapped within this island prison, not even knowing what the 'gift' was! None of them knew! Not yet anyhow! It was a great change in your life, and when it happened, you would know. Until then, there were rules to follow, classes to attend. Leaving the massive estate unattended and for no good reason, was forbidden. Being out after dark, was forbidden. Males, were forbidden. Even talking to one without having been told to do so, was forbidden. But why? Soon enough the 'secrets' start seeping through the woodwork as a danger arrives to the island and Delilah's world takes on a few new layers of madness. With nothing but her journal, in which she can transfer the chaos from her thoughts to the paper, Delilah tries to make sense of it all.Concluida

He asked and I looked up at his eyes. I didn't have to ponder over the matter long. "I don't know." I said softly. Daimen frowned and studied me for a while, "Just wondering, because you seem to love pissing me off. And most people don't. So I guess you need some figuring out to do." ********* Daimen and River were both seniors at the same high school, they took some of the same classes, walked the same halls, live in fair distance from each other, but they couldn't have been more different. When high school was over River and Daimen became ghosts to each other but then years later fate decides to bring them back together. River Sparrow hates confrontation. She's jumpy, but tries to see the bright side of situations. She's quiet, soft spoken, the "teacher's pet," and keeps to herself a lot. She's a volunteer at the local animal shelter and loves one dog in particular the most. Daimen Princeston would fight in a heartbeat. He's strong, intimidating, and pretty much has people running for the hills at the very aspect of him getting angry. His devil-may-care attitude swirls around him and no one wants to get on his bad side. Of course River is afraid of him, and she has a good right to be. But when River starts to learn more of the young man everyone fears she starts to see him in a new way. After some time feelings grow stronger and she hopes she's not fallen for a murderer. And if she has, who is she to deny him the love he so desperately needs?Concluida

An elite co-ed school tucked behind the gated estate outside of Dublin. It's full of kids with billionaire status parents. All Irish wants to do is finish school and continue doing her passion, art.

Masked Risks
Olivia has always loved dancing, even though her parents don't want her to continue following her "unrealistic" dreams. She lives in a wealthy area, so her love for choreographing hip hop routines seems lowly and classless in the eyes of her disapproving parents.

Despite how hard she has kept her secret, he finds out about Olivia and her crew and he wants in on it. How far will Olivia let this secret expand before her parents catch on? How far outside of her comfort zone she wants to go with Erik?Concluida
Ripples Of Secrets
Elena couldn't be more excited about the new community development program for noble, academic reasons... but let's be honest - she's mostly excited because it involves working with athletes. Athletes = muscles. Muscles = potential boyfriends. And potential boyfriends = the long-overdue end of her tragic "Single Since 2019" era. Plus, if the universe finally stops laughing at her romantic misfortunes, she might even get to tag along with her college's athletic team on their trip to New Jersey - land of bagels, boardwalks, and possibly cute foreign exchange players. So yes, Elena is ready. Ready for love. Ready for adventure. Ready for... absolutely anything except what she actually gets: A collision course with a quiet, hoodie-wearing disaster named Ryan Kingston. Ryan Kingston - the campus myth, the billionaire's heir, the human equivalent of a locked door. He's got the looks of a brooding romance novel hero... and the social skills of a brick wall. Rumor says he has a female allergy. Not figurative. Literal. If a girl stands too close, he tenses like someone is pointing a crossbow at him. Elena finds this absolutely ridiculous. Until she meets him. And he actually backs away like she's holding a weaponized scented candle. But Ryan has his reasons - A spotlight he never asked for. A family empire that screams drama with a side of taxes. And the talent of disappearing into hoodies like he's auditioning to become a shadow. Now their worlds are about to collide - hers full of caffeine-fueled optimism, accidental disasters, and questionable flirting choices; his full of rules, emotional escape routes, and enough distance to qualify as a Wi-Fi problem.

The first and probably only love he experienced had just broken him, leaving him distraught and wondering if he even mattered. Elena is the number one on everyone's obsession list.

Growing up in the country but having rich, Greek parents really boosted her reputation. After a long line of toxic exes, she vowed to herself never to let anyone destroy her again. However, the stars in the sky decided, fuck it.

The Bad Boy and Me
Meet Violet Summers. She's the sarcastic girl who doesn't really ever get noticed by anyone. She blends into any crowd because of how "normal" she is. And she loves it. She wouldn't be able to stand the attention of everyone around her. That's why she won't tell Ryan Bloore, her crush for three years, that she practically worships the ground he walks on. Ryan is the captain of the basketball team at their school, so guys see him like he's a god and girls act like he walks on water. If they were to date, all eyes would be on her- she would be under everyone's scrutiny. So she's kept her feelings a secret, and she's done her best to suppress her emotions these past years, but she's realized that she's been so caught up in making people not notice her that she didn't realize how lonely she would be when no one was watching. Now meet Ryder Knight. School bad boy. Quarterback captain and heartthrob. The kind that wears a leather jacket and has tattoos all over his arms. The one who shows up to school riding a motorcycle. Just your average run of the mill "if you get involved with this guy, you will meet some serious trouble" kind of male. Well, too bad for Violet, she's stuck with him now. After all of the years of pushing away her feelings for Ryan because of her fear of being seen, she is now all anyone can look at- because of Ryder. Because of him, she can feel their stares, and she hates him for it. The longer they spend time together, the more Ryder starts to realize he actually enjoys being around her-despite her snarky comments about how much she despises him. And if Violet is being completely honest with herself, she's also starting to realize she might not actually hate the fact that people are noticing her now, but hate the way Ryder makes her feel.Concluida
Almost, Always 🍁🥀
"Almost, Always" 🍁🌹 Some people enter your life like whispers...soft, sudden, and gone before you can hold on. She didn't expect to see him again. Not after years, not like this. Not when she had finally learned how to forget the boy who never truly left her mind. But fate isn't loud..it's quiet, casual... cruel. In a classroom filled with noise, their glances screamed stories. A slow-burn connection, unsaid words, and almosts that could've been everything. This is not a fairytale. This is a memory rewritten..with the ending she deserved.![~My Teacher Hits Me~ (Book 1) [Rewritten]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/40386719-256-k356935.jpg)
~My Teacher Hits Me~ (Book 1) [Rewritten]
~~~~~ "C'mon, cupcake. Why are you always trying to avoid me? All you're doing is delaying the inevitable." "And what's that?" Rylan spits, annoyed. He brushes her hair gently behind her ear. Rylan flinches when Blake's hand makes contact with her skin. "I enjoy taking what I can't have, especially when it's a challenge. I want what I want. And you...are something I desperately want." ~~~~~ "Do you think you're special, Rylan? Are you really so stupid that you think you're better than me--that you have a say in what goes on in my classroom?" Mr. Quinn asks in a deep, menacing voice. He glares at Rylan and digs his fingers into the skin on her forearms. "You don't. You. are. nothing. So you better get that through your thick, little skull." Mr. Quinn presses his face closer to Rylan's so she has to turn her head to escape his hot breath. He lets go of her left arm and grabs her chin roughly, forcing her to look at him. "I. abhor. you. And all students like you. I'm in the position of power here. You'd do well to remember that." ~~~~~ If Rylan had it her way, she'd be going to school, hanging out with her friends in her free time, and returning home every day to two loving parents and the safety of her home. But if life has taught her anything, it's that you rarely ever get to have things your way. Her school life is quickly becoming a nightmare. Her English teacher is emotionally unstable under the professional front he puts up and Rylan has managed to catch the eye of the resident "bad boy" and his cronies, which doesn't seem to be boding well for her. Rylan can't even count on her house to be a safe haven anymore--not while her nightmares can penetrate walls. It's not just her happiness that's at stake here. It's her life. But can she stand up to the people who scare her most, or will she end up just another statistic? --------- © 2015 Miranda JKConcluida
