TheWildBunch
What begins as an ordinary day quickly spirals into something extraordinary for Mason. When his school is reportedly flooded beyond repair, he's forced to transfer to Short Meadow High - a new environment, new faces, and, as it turns out, new adventures. But Mason's thirst for excitement never stays quiet for long. After a few strange coincidences and overheard conversations, he discovers that the flood might not have been an accident at all. Digging deeper, he uncovers that his old school was shut down for a reason far darker than anyone let on. The truth surfaces when news breaks that the notorious scientist Dr. Jeremy Langhammer-a brilliant but deranged criminal mastermind-has escaped from a nearby prison. Soon Mason learns that Langhammer and his network of henchmen are using the abandoned school as their secret hideout. With his parents, Mark and Michelle, conveniently out of town, Mason feels an unshakable pull to uncover the truth himself. Against all odds, he and his loyal friends embark on an investigation filled with danger, deception, and a trail of toxic experiments that could threaten the entire town. Between unraveling mysteries and keeping up with school life, Mason and his friends still find time to chase their passions-trying out for sports, exploring the campus, and unexpectedly earning spots on the team. But as two months pass and his old school finally reopens, Mason faces a heart-wrenching choice: stay with his new friends at Short Meadow or return to the past he's just escaped. And with whispers of lingering danger, the real question becomes-will his curiosity lead to discovery or disaster?Complete
The Things We Couldn't Forget
Growing up with a nickname like Misery can seem like the worst thing to happen to a girl. That is, until you find out that your father is a serial killer. Ten years after escaping the town that would never allow her to escape her father's dark shadow, Missouri Jacobs returns to Faulkner Montana with one mission in mind. She needs to settle her family's estates, then she can take that money and start a new life, maybe even with a new name, someplace no one knows her or the stories that surrounded her family. However, returning to her childhood home brings back all of the memories Missouri has been spending years trying to forget. And a chance run in with a boy she once loved with all of her heart makes not drowning in those memories over and over even harder. All set to leave, Missouri wants nothing more than to put Faulkner and everything that happened there truly in the past once and for all, but then... Another girl goes missing. Then another. Then another. Wrapped in a fog of déjà vu and separating the present from her past, Missouri is determined not to be blindsided this time. This new killer might be playing games with her, but this time, she's going to be the one to end this all, or she'll die trying.Complete
Perfect Strangers
Follow my Instagram for any updates and if you have any questions: @nikki_k123 Alex has been living the same life, with the same routine, repeating it every day. Every day is the same. The one thing she does look forward to is going to cafe de l'amour every morning on her way to school, where she sits and writes, all while seeing Carter Reed. The most popular boy at school who, surprisingly, prefers the solitary life. They go to the same cafe every day, sit at the same tables every day, and notice each other every day, yet are strangers who have never uttered a word to one another. And strangers they shall remain. Perfect strangers. But that's about to change. . . . . . I watched as he kept his eyes trained on the notebook in front of him where he aimlessly drew spirals and coils that surrounded each other, trapped each other, and suffocated each other. My eyes traced the movement of his pen, following each line he drew onto the paper. "Your tea." I snapped out of my trance and looked up, thanking Katy before she went back to the counter. I turned back and caught him looking at me. I expected him to look away and continue acting like I don't exist. Like he's always done and so have I. What I didn't expect was for him to walk right over and sit with me. "Hi, I'm Carter." PSA: This story is inspired by the Wattpad novel 'Caffeine' by @meddlingkids ALL RIGHTS RESERVEDComplete
