Rebecca isn't completely separate from the case, and as the trial looms closer, and she gets a surprise visit from an unexpected ally, she starts to feel for her former friend.

HONESTLY by sunnybirch

Nicky Peters sets out on an emotional roller coaster when she creates a melody from an old high school journal entry which develops into her debut song for her second album. Her personal and professional life become quickly complicated when she finds herself standing in front of the one person she thought she'd never see again, the same person who unfortunately understands all too well who Nicky's hit song is really about...him. ******** Nicky Peters' rise to fame in country music was fast, being plucked out of obscurity at seventeen after her YouTube videos went viral. After she pens a very personal song from one of her old high school journals called, "Honestly," for her much-anticipated second album, she realizes her feelings will be under a microscope for the whole world to see, including Nate Stanton, her ex-best friend from childhood. He also just happens to be the one person who truly understands the meaning behind her heart-wrenching song. What happens when fate brings her face-to-face with the boy she thought she'd never see again? Nicky quickly realizes airing her emotions out in public via a number-one, hit song can make things complicated fast. As Nate and Nicky reconnect and navigate through their past, truths are revealed, assumptions are at an all-time high, and a publicity nightmare looms which jeopardizes all she's worked so hard for. While Nicky's misfortunes add up, she realizes fame comes with a price. She begins to understand the cold, hard facts, keeping her career intact as country's "it" girl and maintaining a personal life may be more difficult than it sounds, especially when you're living through a public scandal.

A boy forever reincarnated as himself meets his soulmate for the 200th time, but can she solve the puzzle and break the curse to make herself his last? ***** Martha Beckett's life is over, or so it feels after her father moves her from California to Illinois in the middle of her junior year of high school. But on her first day in her new school, she finds a peculiar boy waiting for her. James is cute, friendly, and obviously too good to be true. Her skepticism proves justified after he confides in her his secret: after he dies, he is reincarnated as himself to live his life again and again and again... Retaining all knowledge and skill acquired in his previous lives and with a general understanding of future events, James is effectively superhuman. And while Martha enjoys the inherent perks of associating with such a boy, she comes to learn of the despair and exhaustion underneath it all. With no permanent consequence or hope of release, James struggles to stave off nihilism with Martha his one tether to humanity. FOR THOSE WHO DON'T BELIEVE IN LOVE SONGS is, in fact, a love story, albeit a complicated one. Can Martha reconcile with the fact that James has loved hundreds of other Marthas before her and will most likely love hundreds thereafter?

High School Royale by Joker_107

It would've been a normal Friday. Weekend plans. Chemistry tests. Relationship rumors. But on that day, at 9:10 a.m., all 1,484 students of Stonewall Academy High School wake up on their homeroom desk and are forced into a simple, brutal game: a fight to the death. Across the school, six students will battle for survival and discover the meaning of trust and betrayal. RAYMOND is the junior valedictorian who talks little, a genius with a mysterious past and unclear intentions. SKYLAR is popular and beautiful, and has tabs on everyone thanks to her newspaper and yearbook class. JESSE is a star athlete on the varsity baseball team, quick to protect his friends but slow to make the right choice. ALYSSA is a kind girl who's a model of perfection, as an Ivy-bound pre-med major and former cheer captain. GRACE sticks to herself and prioritizes her own survival above all else, but has mastered the sport of archery. ROWAN is a freshman trying not to fail half his classes, struggling to live up to his brother's shadow. These six people don't know much about each other at the start of the games, but will find their fates entwined in ways none of them will have expected. As the games go on, friendships will be forged and challenged, and loyalties will be tested. Out of the battlefields will come unbreakable bonds and resilient hope. The clock ticks down. The only way out is to play, and the only way to play is to fight. UPDATES EVERY SUNDAY, 11AM CST
