Fifteen-year-old Cameron Drexler made a mistake. A simple, honest, and very illegal mistake. Knowing his son's actions could derail his career, Cam's father, Congressman David Drexler, has him shipped off to Maplethorn Academy.

Not quite a prison and not quite a school, Maplethorn is a place where the wealthy and well-connected lock away boys who are lawbreakers, troublemakers, or simply unwanted. But when his roommate disappears, Cam fears Maplethorn is hiding a darker secret.

Caught looking for answers in a part of the academy that is off-limits to cadets, Cam is pressured into volunteering for a new type of behavioral therapy. At first, he doesn't feel any different. That is until he discovers he can send a paper airplane shooting across the room without touching it.

Animals are dying, people are disappearing, and what's with the men in jackets twenty years out of date showing up in the dead of night? A homeless drunk, a twelve year old from the city, a fat extortionist, a high school science teacher, and a reporter are the first to feel its effects. They're able to do things that no human should be able to do, but will it be enough? Will their newfound abilities be enough to save the town from a threat to its very reality?

Hybrid: The Awakening by DuNdUnDUN2006

Nobody expects something supernatural to happen to them. Those kind of things only happened in comics. Fairy Tales. Unrealistic dreams that you'd fall asleep to, silently wishing for them to come true. At least, that was what these three teenagers thought. It turns out that there is so much more to their simple universe than they ever could have imagined. After each finding a strange alien artifact, the teens are suddenly thrusted into an intergalactic war. Alien species everywhere are trying to hunt down the most powerful weapons in the galaxy. And they are the ones in possession of it. When they run into a girl that claims to be from another planet, the three kids learn about the power given to them and the responsibilities that come along with it. Instantly, they are the most popular people in the galaxy. And for once, popularity couldn't feel more like a curse. Fighting grudges, fear, and distrust, the Chosen humans must travel to the one place on Earth where they might be safe. And with strange new powers, the teenagers struggle to live in the unfamiliar world they thought they knew so well.

The Hunt by PandaGoddess1213

Trapped in a mysterious school with no clear way out, students must navigate a web of danger, betrayal, and hidden secrets. Is escape even possible? The rules are simple: break them, and you disappear. But within these walls, students can turn against each other in the battle for survival. Every day is a hunt, a deadly game that begins the moment the bell rings. Classroom C-3041 students share a single desperate goal: escape. But when a brutal Hunt wipes out a significant portion of the school's population, their mission shifts-now, they must find new students to fill the empty seats, or face punishment. The problem? Students are hardly trustworthy. In a school where sanity is a luxury and loyalty is fleeting, who can they count on? Terrance, the reluctant leader of C-3041, must keep his class alive while facing threats from within and outside the classroom. The rumors of a hidden school map, that supposedly reveals the location of the exit, might offer a chance at freedom. But when they risk everything to search for answers in the forbidden library, they uncover a map- that doesn't lead to an exit but to untouched, mysterious corners of the school. It promises a clue, but what if it's not just the school they need to escape from-but their own forgotten past? As they delve deeper into the school's darkest secrets, Terrance and his classmates must confront their shattered memories, surviving not only the dangers lurking in every corner but the ghosts of betrayal that threaten to tear them apart. In this school, it's not just about escaping-it's about staying sane long enough to uncover the truth.
