egomania
ɛɡə(ʊ)ˈmeɪnɪə,iː-/
noun
obsessive egotism or self-centered-ness

"Now I'm older I tend to rarely argue with my fists but believe me when I say that my words pack a powerful punch. Carefully spoken, without drama, my words have an air of finality to them and no matter how hard the opposition railed against me, nothing would change my mind."

The story of a fifteen year old sociopath as he embarks on his journey through life. Far too early in his life, Nathan was forced to look out for himself. With his mother giving up on him when he was seven years old, he spiralled downwards as time progressed, ultimately landing him in a mental hospital. 

To say the very least, in the years leading up to his departure from adolescence, Nathan McKenzie was not the stablest of individuals.However, he was a decent kid on the surface. You could say that he had the full package. Good looking, smart, witty, sarcastic, charming. 

Only one problem. 

None of it was real. Behind the arrogant facade he was still the same heartless, paranoid little boy he always was. Some would say that spending half of your life in a psych ward would do that to a person, others said it was his own choice.

Slowly becoming so lost in his own loneliness and hostility, Nathan began to shut down from the world. Eventually leaving him with nothing but the biggest choice anyone could ever have to make.

To live, or to die?

That I'm to blame for being damaged?" "No, it's not your fault at all, but it is your fault for believing you don't deserve better. That you don't deserve to be happy." Nathan looks away from my eyes, inhaling. "Maybe the little things that you consider your weakness are actually the things that people treasure most about you. Maybe you hate that you care too much...or that you wear your heart on your sleeve. But seriously, some people think that's the best damn thing about you. We all have different little things that make up who we are, we don't need to change those things, but we can choose who we share them with." "What are you saying?"

Alex just left Nigel with only leaving a message on a note, telling him he probably comes back - only if possible. Obviously this is a hit in the face for Nigel. The first few months are terrible, and it only gets worse as he gets no word from Alex. No sign of him that could possibly give him some strength to go on. After more months, he loses his hope, killing everyone around as if that would make anything better. Nigel gets locked up in an asylum, declared for mentally unstable: charged for many, many murders. And since he doesn't ages, they keep him for experiments. Since they are very religious in there, they believe it's the Devil his son. After eight years, somehow Nigel keeps seeing this blonde-reddish boy visiting him. He tells him stories, being all cheeky and forces him to wait. The doctors around are trying anything to get that boy out of Nigel his mind, and when they don't succeed, they decide to use electroshock therapy for that. As Nigel threats to lose Alex, the connection between the two fades a lot. Alex has barely enough strength to stay around, and gets forced to find a body before he disappears forever. Strangely enough a patient passes by during Nigel his therapy. A suspicious girl that always wants to know everything that's going around. Since she is the only weak person of them all in a near distance, Alex gets into her body - being forced to share it with another soul. As soon as Nigel realizes that the girl isn't just somebody, and they can't get away from each other, there's only one option left. But what will happen? Will Alex get his body back?

"I hate you." He scowled. "Well, I never said you had to like me, now did I?" I said sassily.He rolled his eyes and crossed his arms across his chest. "Keep rolling your eyes, maybe you'll find your brain back there." He glared at me. "Shut up with your lame combacks, they suck!" "Your just mad cause you're getting roasted by a girl. What? Is your ego being damaged?" "I am no being roasted, you are! I'm a savage!" He said cockily. I slapped my forehead and let out a chuckle. "Last time I checked, you have not said anything close to make you a savage and you have not even roasted me. Dumb ass." "Oh yeah well, your a ugly! Beat that!" He smirked. Wow. Oh my gosh everyone, give him a round of applause for that AMAZING burn! Nothing can beat that! Hint, sarcasm. "Your brain must feel good as new, seeing as though you never use it. Also, that was the worst comback ever, I bet my mom can come up with something better then that." I crossed my arms over my chest and smirked at him. "Whatever." He grumbled and walked away scowling. That's right! I like to call myself the comback queen because I always have an answer for everything. Like if someone says to me: you suck I go: well you swallow. So do you catch my drift? Yes? No? Maybe so? **** Riley Greene, the daughter of Maya. Unlike her mother, she is not as bubbly and outgoing or as childish.

She loves food as much as her mom and can devour her food like a savage she is. Asher Kings on the other hand, is a typical bad boy. You know, with those secrets and mysterious vibe, girls go chasing after him, big ego, you know??? Any way, he still is pretty scary if you get on his bad side an that exactly what Riley does. What do you think will happen when there paths cross? And more importantly...What will happen after?

Follow the story of a girl named McKenzie during her high school experience, re-told years later, when she’s asked to explain her adolescence. McKenzie wasn’t such an ‘average’ teenager, even in her own generations’ eyes. She was the type of girl to party all day and night long, have casual sexual relationships with men years older than her, and do loads of drugs. On top of that, she had to deal with a family that hated her. McKenzie spent her teenage years with no one but herself, and the people inside her head. She had to live through every day pretending she was normal, when she knew she was so far past sane it was unbearable to even think about. How long does it take for a teenage girl that has to deal with all that, to crack? Join McKenzie on her journey of thinking back, and remembering everything she wants to forget.
