Allison Hawthorne is dead - murdered in cold blood. Six lives remain at stake. The best part? I'm only getting started. 

Sacredmore High has been a gateway to the world of the elite for over two decades, but when newcomer April Park steps into its hallways, things don't remain as they were before. Secrets get out, hearts are broken and people wind up dead. The clock starts ticking when she makes friends with Allison's former frenemies. 

The geek with deceitful eyes. 
The perfectionist with damaged morals.
The princess with a loveless life. 
The visionary with a tainted view. 
The loner with a shattered past. 

Each of these six have secrets they want to hide, but when I control their lives, their secrets become my ammunition and their futures, mine. And who am I? That's a question for another time.

| 2022 Wattys Shortlist| |Wattpad YA Writer's Choice| |Completed| There's nothing stronger than the emotions that accompany your first love, except maybe revenge. According to everyone around her, Mina Joyce has the perfect life, though she couldn't disagree more. Not only is she stuck in a preparatory school that prioritizes status above learning but she often returns home to an empty house, her parents, like her school, prioritizing the material. Constantly struggling with the intersectionality of being a teenager as well as a woman of color in a majority white environment, she's grown tired of trying to be both the perfect daughter and the perfect student to appeal to the standards both these entities hold her to. However, when a mysterious new boy by the name of Khalil Maffa begins schooling at the elite preparatory academy, the entirety of the student body can't help but be enamored, especially Mina Joyce. For Mina, Khalil is paradoxical to the very ideals that the school and her parents place on her and she instinctively finds herself drawn to his character despite the protestations of her friends, boyfriend, and a strangely flirtatious boy by the name of Sahil who happens to be a direct link to Khalil's past. For Khalil, however, Mina Joyce is simply a means to an end. Blaming Mina's family for the death of both his own parents, Khalil's obsession with Mina is rooted in revenge and his plan is merely to use her to achieve this end. However, when their feelings for one another threaten to become too real, they must both make tough decisions. Mina must decide whether to take her life into her own hands or remain complacent, and Khalil must reevaluate his motives and decide once and for all whether the urge to pursue revenge or a meaningful first love is stronger.

Ayesha, a senior college student at Henderson Phoenix University, faced adversity from a tender age, having lost her parents when she was young. Raised by her grandmother, she learned independence early in life. Sadly, her grandmother passed away when she was only ten years old, further shaping her resilient character. Despite her challenges, Aesha excelled academically and found employment in the university's publishing department. Additionally, she worked part-time at Andromeda Bar, a popular establishment in their town, to support herself. Her life took an unexpected turn when she crossed paths with four renowned individuals at her university. These chance encounters unraveled past events and intertwined their destinies in ways they couldn't foresee. Love, to Aesha, was more than just an emotion; it was a conscious decision, a battle against the odds, encompassing both pain and beauty. For her, loving someone meant embracing forgiveness and, sometimes, letting them go. However, when confronted with the prospect of letting Alexander, one of the four men, depart, Aiesha found herself grappling with conflicting emotions. "Alexander, please stay. Don't go," she pleaded, torn between holding on and setting him free. All rights reserved.
