Lily had never been too noticeable through her first three years of high school. She was a very simple, ordinary girl. It was depressing to say, but her life was almost boring. The same routine day after day, over and over. The only thing likely to change were the leaves she ran past every morning or the songs she'd sing in the shower. 

          Lily began to feel unsatisfied with her life. She was terrified of the future because the future meant that she'd be put out of her comfort zone, somewhere she'd never even tapped a toe in. 

          However, when Lily starts talking to a mysterious boy in the park who has a liking for cigarettes, she becomes hooked. She wants to be different, dangerous. She craves it. This boy has given her the opportunity to live her life to the fullest and experience something real. 

          Along the way she will meet a smoky singer, a gay poet, a girl who needs vodka to activate her brain, a photographer that's a part-time dweeb, a bipolar blogger, a hippie dropout, a heartbroken Beyoncè lover, a John Bender wannabe, a soon-to-be Harvard student who is obsessed with Edgar Allan Poe, a flower child who could easily become a Disney princess, and this last one, well, Stephen King should write his love story because not only is it scary, but it's also non-existent. 

          Little does she know, these people will change her life forever. 

           So, buckle up your seat belts, because we're spending a year with the punk kids.

"If I could pick anyone in the entire world, in the entire world, Will, I'd still choose you." *** William Nile has always felt a lack of control in his life. His head's clustered and the past likes to eat at his thoughts. Isolation is a synonym for safety and staying neutral is a key ingredient for survival. He's always felt more put together when he was a mess; always felt like the world was clearer in the dark. He can't help it, this is just how it's always been. Then comes along a new foster family who throws him for a loop. They're exactly who they say they are, exactly who they act to be. With that comes a goofy boy named Clement and his best friends, annoying twins who laugh loudly- -good luck telling Jude and Demi apart- -and a girl named Minnie who has a god complex. Will knew from the day he arrived that he needs to focus on acting the way his foster moms want, on getting good grades, at playing soccer well and making sure that for once, he doesn't mess up. He knows he doesn't want to lose these friends, knows he wants to feel wanted and needed and understood. Because here, there is more focus on his mental health than there is on if he's acting the 'right' way. Here, there is room for growth and change past a foster parent's ideal child. Here, there's no room for entertaining the idea of him with a pretty boy who has a witty smile and a loud laugh. On that last note, he has no idea what to do (and Will is someone who likes to plan ahead). *** A coming of age story.

[Book #1 of Twisted Deception] "You people don't know a damn thing about us, don't even speak." **** Everyone knows that high school is always something to dread. GPA, friends, enemies, prom, graduation, everything that you think would make high school good and bad for the future. Now scratch off friends, GPA, prom, and graduation. Why would you scratch them off? Because everything else will be the only thing that's important when you get to this high school. Saint Johnathan Pier is the one high school in the city where everything happens and normally, stuff you wish you didn't see. Everyone warned people about the dangers of the students going there but did they ever mention the people already broken by it? They were dubbed "the rainbow colors of society" just because they were different from other students in this school. But there's a slight differential between them: four of these students are popular while the other four are normal. While the four populars are seen as "superior, hot, and intimidating", the four normals are seen as "weirdos, weaklings, and irreverent bystanders". Being different from the other kids has always been a struggle for all of them since grade school, but they try to keep that out of mind. But with their dark history following them at every corner, making new friends can't be on their list. Matter of fact, it isn't an option. Especially when their attitudes are what drive people away rather than in. Not like they're complaining though. When these eight students get paired up for an end of the year assignment, they encounter a lot of drama that will test their relationships to the max. What will happen to them? Can they grow comfortable with each other? Can these troubled teens even be friends in the first place? Come along on the journey as these eight try to survive their last year of high school. ⚠️TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️: This contains strong language, mentions of rape, bullying, etc.

In all the love stories, there is a broken girl, someone who's afraid to fall in love. In all the love stories, there is a guy who tears down her walls and makes her fall head over heels. The girl gets scared. The guy chases her. The girl lets herself fall. They get married... ZZZZ. Point is, there are a lot of cliché love stories. But what if I told you not every story's like that? Harry is sick of it all. He's sick of the rumours, the accusations, the bullying, the finger pointing. To top it all off, he had his heart smashed and trampled on by a childhood friend. He plasters on a fake smile to fool everyone, and for the most part, they believe him. He shuts down, becomes numb, becomes the living dead. He promises not to let anyone get that close to him again, that he'll never place his heart in someone else's hands. Chelsea is excited to move out her boring hometown in Canada, and start living her own life living in Manchester and exploring the world during her gap year.

With her two best friends Dylan and Tyler by her side, she's ready to take on the world. She's ready to begin her life. But when she starts falling, falling for a guy who doesn't fit into her plans at all, a guy who has locked his heart up in a metal cage, what happens then? How strong does she have to be to tear down his walls and make a place in his heart?
