The homeless are dying, and now so are the Elites.
The earth is not what it once was. After years of mistreatment, humans are forced to deal with the aftermath of global warming. The solution: genetic alterations. But the only people able to afford this treatment are Elites-doctors, politicians and scientists. Leaving Skiddies-trash collectors, factory workers and farmers-to struggle against the elements.
When a new drug hits the streets and causes widespread addiction, 17 year old Jaxon- an orphan recruited to be a police officer- decides to take the case. And when 16 year old Shyah- a newly appointed genetic scientist- notices members of her Elite community dropping dead for no apparent reason, she turns to science for the explanation.
Despite the world telling them they can't be friends due to their different social classes, feelings blossom. They quickly find that working together is the only way to get the answers they need, especially when they discover their problems are more closely related than they thought. Can they solve the case and save the human race? Or will they let stereotypes and misunderstandings be the reason civilization falls into permanent extinction?

Truth or Dare
After graduating high school, Jupiter and her two best friends move to a small beach town for college. They are free at last. Free from the soul-sucking reality of high school, free from the watchful eyes of parents, free to do whatever they please. This is the start of EVERYTHING. This is what they've been waiting for for the last four years and it's finally here. Jupiter has always been kind of an introvert, not nearly as outgoing as her friends. Noelle and Diem love Jupiter for who she is and often try to drag her out of her shell. They have known her for a long time. They have met the real her and they absolutely adore her, but Jupiter hides within herself. She is terrified to be judged, rejected, or even looked at. She is the epitome of self-consciousness, while her carefree friends ooze confidence. With the new setting, Noelle and Diem hope to teach Jupiter how to let go and live in the moment. After multiple rounds of Truth or Dare, Jupiter somehow ends up with her first boyfriend, only it's just an act, or is it? Somewhere along the way, the line between what's real and fake starts to fade. Before long she finds herself falling for this stranger she just met, this stranger she could barely stand to be around. Not only does she find herself accidentally in love, but she also starts to gain confidence and stops overthinking everything so much.
Discovering Shadows (Completed)
I have restarted this book. I wanted to make it easier to read and more enjoyable. I hope to make shorter chapters and update frequently. :) In the beginning Sylar has no name. No one cares. She's just another kid to fall into a system because she was an unwanted mess. A child that doesn't talk? Yea, no one care about that either. A shady group home filled with bullies and secrets? Yea, you guessed NO ONE CARES! To find friends in a place like this is unlikely. This place is built to feed off the fears of kids and their lack of parental role models. No one holds on to dreams for long in a place like this. You get placed here and you are as good as forgotten. Except when a couple shows up looking as out of place as an astronaut in a gold mine or a miner in space whichever one you prefer. This couple comes and shakes things up. Good or Bad has yet to be decided...only someone's bound to get hurt, someone's bound to be broken. The only question is will the wounds heal or fester and kill?Complete

White Lies (Book 1)
Jesabel is a liar. When her only friend mysteriously disappears, she does what comes naturally. She keeps her truth from the world. Without warning, she is thrown into a web of lies far more dangerous and lethal than anything she could imagine. With an annoyingly charming boy by her side, can she unravel what she refuses to tell - the truth? WHITE LIES HAS BEEN REVISED, EDITED AND REWORKED! Happy late new year, friends! I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that White Lies, a story that has been up and running on Wattpad since 2011, has been re-written and revised for the coming decade. What does this mean? This entails the same characters you know and love, with better flow, better writing, more nuanced character development, more mature content, and entirely different plot lines. Jesabel's character has changed drastically since I last introduced her to the world (nearly NINE years ago! yikes!), and I wanted to make this story a more nuanced and modern take. When I had written White Lies, I had been just 14 years old. And I've done a ton of growing, learning, and unlearning over the years. This means that my characters have grown and developed with me. If you are an old friend and re-reader - welcome, and please enjoy the same old story you love with a brand new take! If you have started along this White Lies journey beginning in December and all throughout January, you might have read a half-edited and half-original version of the story. So please feel free to re-read at your leisure! I won't bite, I promise.Complete

The Other Guy (BoyxBoy) ✔️
"I walked over to where Aaron was sitting on the ground, kneeling so that I was face-to-face with him. He was wearing a blank expression on his face so I guess he didn't really care if I kissed him or not. I took in a deep breath before taking his face in both of my hands and swooping down to kiss him. At first, I was so nervous I didn't realize that we were already kissing but after a few moments, I realized how soft his lips felt on my own. Before I can register it I felt him moving against me. I would have gotten off of him but I realize that he wasn't moving to get away from me. No, He was moving his lips against mine." °°°°° Aiden Moore isn't extraordinary. He has average looks, he is OK with sports, and his only strong point is that he is smart (although that doesn't mean much to his fellow classmates). And, of course, his virgin ass has never had a girlfriend, let alone a crush. It seemed as if he would never find someone. That was until he met her, Scarlett Hale. She was the most beautiful girl you will ever meet. Kind, sweet, and one of the few people with a higher GPA then him, she was amazing and Aiden imagined that she would be all his. Once Aiden gets rid of her boyfriend, Aaron Tyler. The most annoying guy you will ever meet, Aiden gags just thinking about him. The man is smoking hot and makes Aiden's dreams of getting the girl to seem very impossible. So what would happen if Aiden gets involved with the wrong person? Will Aiden get the girl? Will he fall short? Or will he fall into the arms of a guy who is in love with the girl he loves? _______________________________________ WARNING: First book EVER! The best part about this book is that it has some funny bits and introduces you to characters I use for a while. But, if you don't like the writing, please consider one of my newer works 😊 Started: May 10, 2016 Completed: September 2016Complete
