Senior Annalise Myers sets on a different path when she finds out how cruel humanity can truly be. While not all people are bad, she still finds it difficult to communicate with friend-strangers.
"You don't need to put on a mask, hiding behind it. You don't have to conceal your feelings because of what you cannot change. You do not have to act brave in front of everyone for something that is not your fault."
It's time for everyone to know that this is the world we live in, and what has become of it.

back & better | BEING EDITED
Annalise Starke had known her mother was going to die eventually; she just hadn't expected it to happen so soon. At fifteen she had moved with her mother back to her home country of Australia with half a heart (metaphorically, of course) and her mother's terminal cancer diagnosis. There, she struggled with the ambiguous loss of mourning someone who was still breathing. But nothing could've prepared her for the real thing. Six months before her projected "death date" Annalise came home to find her mother bloodied and 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘥, and in the blink of an eye, she went from 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘮 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘳 to 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭 𝘸𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘮 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘮𝘶𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥. 𓇼 Once the police finished investigating, and with no answers to show for it, Annalise follows her mother's dying wish for her to return to the states and reunite with her father and twin brother for her final year of school. She grasps at the strings of her mental health and social life (because as much as she wants it to stop, life moves on, time passes, and her with it) as she navigates the halls of a place that's no longer familiar and struggles to fit back into the mold of the girl she once was. Balance is key, and with her long-time childhood best friend, Sylvie Sorren, by her side, Annalise only has to deal with 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 of the pain in silence-because one minute she's fine and the next she's taking deep breaths in the janitor's closet and wishing death upon her mother's killer an ocean away-as she takes up a new title, becoming the "new girl" all over again. Slowly, her sense of normalcy returns bit by bit. Once again, she cares about the latest trends, loves sports, and she can keep a meal down. Things are looking up...until she gets a strange call from a man claiming to be her mother's killer, and apparently, he doesn't like loose ends.Complete

Ace's High
On paper, Kathy Brooks and Calvin Hermburger are a study in contrasts. She is the campus darling walking on sunshine and charm; he is the prickly, screen-addicted introvert lurking in the back row. But inside the lecture hall, they are two apex predators locked in a relentless war for the top spot. For Calvin, losing the number-one ranking to Kathy, someone he dismisses as "distracted by popularity," is an unbearable ego blow. For Kathy, Calvin's condescending remarks and relentless academic pressure are a constant challenge she refuses to back down from, especially given how much is riding on her GPA. Their rivalry is a delicious psychological chess match: late nights in the library, passive-aggressive score comparisons, and an undeniable undercurrent of tension. They may drive each other crazy, but neither would ever admit that the other is the only reason school is actually interesting.
