"I would kill for that role."
During audition season, the theatre geeks at Whispering Hills Country Day School repeat that sentiment over and over.
But for senior Hannah Cross, killing for a role might be a reality thanks to her best friend Skylar. Just as everything in her world is falling into place, Hannah finds herself in the biggest dilemma of her young life. She's crushing it at school. She's just been accepted at NYU. She's dating Brody Wolcott-the hot jock she's had a crush on since freshmen year. And most importantly, Hannah is finally stepping out from under queen bee Skylar's shadow.
So, Hannah really didn't need to be involved in a hit-and-run accident, a crash that left musical favorite Zoe in a coma and fellow classmate Will dead. And if Skylar took care of any suspicions, why are the police at school asking questions? And what will happen if the detectives connect this accident to what happened upstate at theatre camp...with Katie Greco?
Can Hannah escape Skylar's manipulation and the mistakes of her past? Does her moral compass point true North when she could lose everything?
Readers of Megan Abbott's Dare Me and Pretty Little Liars will love STAGECRAFT.
STAGECRAFT is Glee meets Heathers meets Prep. This noir YA thriller features strong female characters, authentically illustrates the world of the high school musical, and takes a hard look at emotionally abusive relationships among teen girls.

This is a #TeenFictionAnotherYearShortStory entry. --- Believe me, when adulting takes place, you forget your naïve little side instantly and are ready to fit yourself in the big boots. But let's say, it's too soon for Olivia Dee. For her, graduation was a ceremony, a consummation of all the misery and guilt she had had to bear, of which none whispered-and she finally had the chance to leave it all behind. But the world's twisted, right? What if...I say, she has to relive all her past memories--that nasty first kiss, to be labelled a troublemaker, to be accused of things she could never imagine ever doing? Sadly, this is not her decision to make. A day after her graduation, she wakes up to face her senior year again. She knows that she had completed her education, she spends hours yelling about it on everyone's face. But at the end, she has to go to college again with one question--how does she even return back in time? But this time, all she has to do is grapple with a recurring dream, try to eliminate all the dark spots in her senior year and find out the reason of this travel back in time. Yet one thing's for sure, she hasn't travelled back in time. I give you my word. I know. There are numerous black-outs, sudden falls, chills, drama and a whole different system of cheating, drugs, revenge and a famous Queen sister, who is, mysteriously, now not famous at all. Watch her swim and drown, as she struggles between her reality and to keep up with her past struggles again, literally. Meanwhile, there's one context she never understands: Death undoes anything. *** Credit to @cattown_graphics She is a real darling, and managed to present me this cover at a very short notice.

Emily wants a romance for herself too, and she knows just the person for it. Landon McArther, a senior in her school.

Landon was everything Emily has always dreamed about and moreover he appreciates her for the person she is. But there's just a teeny-tiny problem. Landon McArther has a girlfriend. While that wasn't in Emily's bingo card, she hopes, prays, and longs for the day Landon will be single (because he is Emily's soulmate, and he has to be) and awaits her chance for romance.

The Lunacy of Tyler Lockhart ✔️
How very noble of you, Mr. Lockhart. I don't need your help. I can do just fine." I retorted. "I'm a lot of things, Victoria." Tyler said leaning against the banister. "But noble is not one of them." "After today, I'm not even going to argue with that fact. They should have named you Lucifer." He smiled, not kindly. "Think of it as a warning from the devil himself. I will not warn you a second time. Throw yourself at me, Vicky, and I'll take what I want." *** Victoria Lane and Tyler Lockhart have been best friends since they were kids, and the two have been through thick and thin together. Tyler is fun, charismatic and makes Victoria weak in the knees. What Tyler doesn't know is that Vicky has been in love with him for a long time. Tyler Lockhart has been hiding some skeletons in his closet, he is a billionaire and comes from an influential family; the Lockharts' have been cursed with a life long of bad omen and while Tyler's mother has tried hard to keep him from showing his true nature to society, sometimes, all it takes is one small mistake. When Vicky finds out the truth, things turn from bad to worse and Tyler is forced to leave town. Vicky's life comes crashing down when Tyler steps foot in town almost ten years later, and he's come back with a motive; to stay and to win Vicky back. *** Cover made using Canva WARNING: Story contains profanity, sexual tensions and abuse.
