Different stars, same sky
Nova was born to be a weapon. Trained as an elite soldier, Nova once led a team that never came back. After a mission gone devastatingly wrong and a rampage that made even the Guardians fear her, her memories were erased. Now, she's seventeen again-at least on paper-living with distant relatives in a city that doesn't feel like home, attending a militarized academy built on the ruins of her childhood. She remembers her name. She remembers nothing else. Rebellious, haunted, and lost in the blur of a life she doesn't recognize, Nova starts seeing things-echoes of the friends she lost, pieces of her old self. The Elite Guardians are watching her, some suspecting she's faking it. Among them is Kade-cold, unreadable, and strangely familiar. And there are others: students, soldiers, ghosts, and enemies who seem to know more about her than she does herself. As Nova begins to unlock terrifying truths about her past, her powers return-and so do the questions: Who was she before they erased her? Why did her team really die? And what is she truly capable of now? In a world where secrets kill and memories lie, Nova must choose between the girl she was, the weapon they made her, and the future she wants. A story of broken memories, forbidden power, and a love that might cost everything.Complete

Growing up in a toxic environment, sixteen-year-old Jay Foster has always had psychological problems, coupled with a quick temper. But one night something happens which finally pushes him over the edge, and as a result, he leaves his house the next morning with two things: his mother's gun and a plan. Living with a neglectful and drug addicted mother wasn't easy for Jay, and it definitely didn't help that his father abandoned the family while he was still a child. He harbored a hatred toward his parents, and that hatred extended to almost everyone and everything around him, producing a very troubled and damaged young kid. As Jay enters high school, he becomes very intrigued with one of his classmates. Kind of obsessed, actually. Her name: Mikayla Keeler. Mikayla is very unique, and like Jay, she doesn't seem to fit in with her contemporaries. Instead, the two of them keep each other company, and their friendship very quickly escalates into a romantic and intimate relationship. Despite having Mikayla, Jay's troubles continue to burden him. He and Mikayla are fighting habitually, his home life is still unbearable, and his time at school is hardly any better, made worse by a bully named Calvin. Their mutual dislike of one another leads to a lot of hostility, routinely leading to Jay being sent to his school's principal. One confrontation in particular goes much too far, resulting in Jay's expulsion from school. With everything seemingly piling up, Jay is very close to his breaking point, and late one night he is blindsided by the unthinkable, pushing him much too far and effectively planting in his mind a cruel and horrific plan for revenge.Complete

"You know, I always thought that this situation would play out differently." I said and their heads snapped up. Their jaws dropped and I gave them a small smile. "Am I hallucinating?" Roman murmured as he stared at me. "If you are hallucinating Isabella, then we have reached new levels of twin telepathy I did not know could be reached." Alex replied. I let out a small chuckle and unlocked the cuffs attached to their hands and they looked at me in disbelief. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Isabella has never fit in with others. She was never the most beautiful girl nor was she the most studious. She was, in a word, boring. Her life seemed plain and she made sure no one knew what was actually going on at home. She made sure that her life at home was hidden no matter how much it broke her. What happens when her family is gone and she comes to know that she is not really who she thinks she is? What happens when she goes to live with her brothers who she did not even know existed? (I'm sorry, I'm horrible at descriptions. Please give this story a chance. There might be mild cursing) #1 in lifechanging on September 21, 2020 #82 in school on October 23, 2020Complete
