Welcome to the Deck of Cards, in which four houses vie for dominance. At the top, sits the King of Hearts, and he gives no indication of moving. 

Liara Kayes, a second year psychology student, has been a part of the Deck of Cards since she was sixteen. Since she walked in on something she shouldn't have. And now, known as the Queen of Spades, she's coming for the King.

But nobody knows who she is outside of the Deck. Nobody sees the young girl grieving the loss of her childhood, and struggling to make ends meet. Nobody notices as she begins to break the one rule she's made for herself. Never fall in love. 

She doesn't realise until it's too late, how much of a mistake she's made.

Facade by polluxo

Alejandra Martinez had the perfect life until she lost her mom and childhood to a violent tragedy that she witnessed. As a result, her dad fell into many patterns of abuse, leaving her to deal with the aftermath of it all. She continued life as best as she could with little hope for anything and trust in absolutely nothing, turning into someone her mother wouldn't recognize, doing whatever she needs to do to cope as well as to protect herself. During her junior year at Lower East Side High School, she meets Gabriel Santiago. He's known throughout the halls for his association with the most dangerous gang in the city, as well as his ice cold demeanor, all at the age of 17. He's as heartless as it gets - at least that's what everyone thinks. The two know nothing about each other. Despite this, they still find reasons to dislike one another. But as time goes on, and they continue to cross paths, something changes. Both begin to realize that there's a whole different side of the other that nobody knows about, yet it's the side that they might not hate about one another. That's what makes it even more complicated. As they each dig deeper past the facade the other has created over the years, it becomes dangerous for everyone involved.

Rules to Feeling Lonely by LoveForPie7

Alone. A simple word that has always held many meanings to Ella, and starting her senior year at a new high school, solitude had seemed the easiest way to go. A week passed, bland and unnoticed, before her plans quickly get thrown overboard. Losing one of her most priced possessions, she finds herself making a rather simple deal with someone from school. His name, for her book. There's only one little problem; she has no idea who this person is. Laughs and tears, friends and heartbreak, and the past that comes knocking on the door. Ella faces it all as she takes on the search to find her secret admirer. ___________________ "I can't believe him after the texts, the letter, the flowers. All these months and he just tells me 'we'll talk later'", I told him, feeling absolutely frustrated. I am so damn stupid, thinking this was gonna be something special or whatever. "It isn't him", he suddenly spoke and I just rolled my eyes. He doesn't even know what he's talking about, the imbisile. "It is, you don't even know what you're talking about so shut up", I cried out, walking forth and back for the hundredth time. "Listen, I do and it isn't him", he yelled this time and I stopped walking, angrily turning to him. Can he stop just pissing me off even more? "Oh yeah? And how are you so sure?" "Because it's me"

Meet Cole, Damien, Lennox, and Torrin Bishop, the sons of the newly elected mayor, Richard Bishop. 4 brothers with 4 completely different personalities. Cole is the bad boy. With a "fuckboy" personality, he promises that he can get any girl fall at his feet. After the lies that surrounded the arrest of her brother and Jonathon, Alyssa refuses to let herself trust easily. What happens when Cole makes a bet with one of his friends that he can get a certain Phoenix to fall in love with him and...take her virginity. Damien is the star athlete, he's always been the center of attention and loves it. His only problem, he doesn't do relationships. But, that's perfect for Jade because she's the exact same way. After her parent's divorce she swore she would never fall in love. The two of them quickly turn their relationship from just friends to friends with benefits. What will happen when one begins to develop feelings? Lennox is the leader. He's stubborn, cocky, and everything Nova hates. She's student body president, the leader of 12 different clubs, and fluent in 4 different languages.

What will happen when both Lennox and Nova are offered to compete for an internship at one of the biggest law firms in the city? Torrin is the golden boy, popular and the life of the party. Julianna...is the complete opposite. She's shy, introverted, and would rather stay home to read rather than go out and socialize. When these two get paired for a project that requires them to open up, they soon begin to bring out things in each other that others closest to them couldn't.
