The EKG flatlining.

Time of death: 3:30pm.

I managed a smile then. "Great. What time do we have this deal?"

Still holding onto my hand, he cast his gaze to the black android watch around his wrist. 

"Right," he drawled. "Now. 3:30pm on the dot."


                                •°•°•°•

The day things went from bad to worse for Cleo Petrakovski was the day her mom walked out the door and out her family's lives. For good. Cleo and her brother, Dante, after years of abuse at the hands of their father, vowed to find a way out. For Cleo, that meant college. The farthest one from home. She could get a loan, scholarship, whatever. Whatever it took to get her out of there.

But the world comes to a standstill the moment Dante dies. With her failing grades going even more downhill and barely pulling through to senior year, Cleo puts herself in a situation where she has to find a tutor before her first week runs out. One that'll guide her through her finals if she's ever going to graduate.

What she doesn't expect though, is a deal with Brent, "the pest", Lockwood. A deal in which he'd be her tutor in exchange for . . . her.

Will Cleo be able to scale through the stress of senior year stuck between school work, an unlikely deal and mutual feelings for her ex?

Beneath the Silence by AnneAry
24 parts Ongoing
Eleanor, 19, is living on borrowed time. She's continuing her studies not out of passion, but more out of survival instinct. Not because she dreams of a brilliant career, but because the idea of failing-and having to go back home-makes her sick. Home is a house full of heavy silences, unspoken blame, and above all, a mother consumed by addiction. Their relationship is an emotional minefield. Though physically distant, Eleanor is never truly free. And every call, every message from her mother threatens to pull her back into the chaos she's desperate to escape. At college, she tries to hang on. Her only support is Wallace, her best friend since middle school. Always there. Tall, protective, destined for a pro career in basketball. Wallace is steady, radiant-the complete opposite of the world Eleanor comes from. He helps her stay afloat. Keeps her from drowning. Until one day, a figure appears in a campus hallway-and everything shifts. Danny Shepard. The name alone freezes her in place. It takes Eleanor a moment to recognize him: the scrawny, furious boy she knew at sixteen has become a man. Calmer. Darker. More... unreadable. After assaulting his sports coach, Danny was sentenced to juvenile detention and vanished for four years. On his return, he was denied entry into the third year of med school. He enrolled elsewhere, at the bottom rung of the university ladder. Where Eleanor studies. And he doesn't recognize her. She, on the other hand, never forgot. The bond they shared-fragile and secret, woven during adolescence through stolen glances and charged silences-left a mark. But Danny seems to have erased her. Why? Has he truly forgotten? Or has he buried that part of his life? Eleanor senses that behind the cold mask, there's a war raging. Repressed memories. A guilt that never properly healed.
