There are two types of secrets one keeps. The one you dare not let out and the ones you take with you to your grave... We chose the latter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We wore the perfect facade.
They were the perfect lies. So perfect, we eventually started believing them and in a twinkle of an eye, everything changed.

Six teenagers and six secrets they never thought were going to be let out.

When Ayammah Udoh gets actively involved in the lives of her seniors at school, things begin to change...

To some, she was a classmate
To others, she was  more...

Secrets spilling, trusts breaking and relationships, failing. 
They couldn't stop it. Things had spun out of control and they were never gonna be the same.

Everything was going smoothly, until she heard footsteps approaching from the hallway leading to her room. Her room was at the extreme of the hallway. The footsteps stopped right in front of her door-- then a knock on the door could be heard. "Ani" she heard a voice from outside call That was the day Her life changed forever. If she had known how things would turn out, she never would have opened the door for her drunk father to get in.

UGLY WHITE LIES by AddictiveRose

"Can you keep a secret?" - The bloody butcher of Everest. In Whitepocket, wealth and status are passed down from generations to generations, just as much as secrets and enemies are as well. Vengeance is faceless, heartless, hungry. Vengeance has no end point, no timespan or space, especially one coated with cold blood. Vengeance is called the Butcher. It's time for these fresh seniors of Everest Academy to realize that they never were the good guys and the actions of their past and present have grave, murderous consequences. Nothing buried under that sun stays hidden forever and definitely not the retching decaying bodies of their horrible deeds. In this grim game of chess, friendships will be broken, trusts will be bent and hearts will be crushed, but like they say all is fair in love and war and this has been a war bubbling from the very beginning. Is there ever a clear distinction between love and hate, sane and insane, good and bad, lies and truths? The butcher, hiding in the midst of chaos, is in town to make sure there is. There is no escaping. There is no forgiveness. There is no happy ending. Lies are lies, no matter how little, no matter how harmless, no matter how white. Lies are the building blocks of all evil. But what is life without evil?
