Whittier Academy is a school like no other, with a "rigorous" admissions process, the stereotypical jocks and cliche "cool kids" are one of the many areas where they are lacking. With ONLY 3 ELECTIVES, those hideous and constricting uniforms, and a campus the size of JUNIOR HIGH, it's a wonder why anyone stays.
Oh wait, we do know....
This school is the ideal social breeding ground, lacking in bullies and the usual social ladder. Where a nerd can be POPULAR, where the kids in AP classes can be ATHLETIC BEASTS, you can genuinely be whatever you want to be. You aren't defined by who you are or what you do, you are defined by the choices you make and the person you CHOOSE to be.
With all the upcoming projects and finals, two friends take this unique setting as a way to FINALLY shine. By categorizing all the people at their school into an orderly fashion, they find a way to blow off steam and have fun. But what happens when someone else finds their research....
Join Lena and Emily on their roller coaster ride of emotions, love, friendships, and most importantly, the eternal struggle to be beloved, to be popular.

Scholarly
Aspen Secondary Academy: it's the dream of every academically-inclined teenager in Colorado. One of the most prestigious high schools in the nation. Nearly impossible to get into. And students aren't just trying to get in - they're vying for scholarships. The prize everyone wants a piece of - the President's Circle Academic Scholarship - grants anyone scoring in the top 1% of private school entrance exams in the United States a full ride through ASA. The odds of earning the scholarship are so improbable it's barely worth contemplating. But for some, it's more than a distant dream. That's the case for Sydney: bright, vivacious, bubbly, artistic, outgoing. Born without the use of her legs, but determined not to let that define her. And for Vivian: intense, a perfectionist, sharp, calm, prepared for anything. Of all the people at ASA, she seems, more than everyone, to have everything together - but that couldn't be further from the truth. Along with their classmates, ASA's 2020 President's Circle Scholarship recipients are about to take on freshman year the only way they know how: in an unforgettable fashion. NOTE: This story is a loosely-autobiographical account of my own high school experience. Many, many characters and events are based off of my experiences and it's packed with inside jokes and allusions, so this will probably make far more sense if you go to my school, but I hope you like it even if you don't.Complete

An Unexpected Moment
... that changes everything Sarah was starting her junior year of high school. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw a pretty average blonde haired, blue eyed, teenager. She was neither in the popular group, nor one of the many cliched outsiders. Sarah was a nobody. She liked to blend in and lay low. It was her way out of not only this town, but her house. No one knew it, but her father was a high functioning alcoholic that often took his anger out on his family. With her older sister now in college, it had turned to her more often. Laying low in general was a good strategy. Across town, Ryan was prepping for his final year in high school. While he wasn't the stereotypical quarterback of the football team, he did fit into the popular crowd. His sports of choice included basketball and soccer, either of which might line him up for a scholarship next year. Ryan had a group of close friends and a lot of adoring acquaintances. It wasn't easy juggling his athletics and keeping the grades up, but he was just that good. The supporting parents didn't hurt either. It might be a cliché romance, but it will be fun to see what the year and beyond holds. ------------------------------------------ This is a story I wrote years ago, or at least partially wrote. As I transcribe it here, I have tried to update it a bit and give the characters/story more depth than what I had when I was younger. Hopefully it all gets pulled together!Complete
Violet's Delight
"Well then. That's the first time a girl has ever rejected my close proximity," he said, eyes ablaze with a playful fire. "You better get used to it," I retorted as I spun on my heel and headed for the school doors that led to the outside. "I've never met anyone like you before," he called after me, this time, not coming after me. "I know, Romeo. I'm a special little snowflake," I called back, not turning around. "You got the 'little' part right there, Princess!" he shouted after me. I threw up my middle finger back to him and heard him laugh as I exited out the doors rather dramatically. ... I'm tired of all those high school stories about a straight-A girl student with the perfect life who falls for the stereotypical Mr. Bad Boy who wears leather black jackets and only has a soft spot for her. That's not how the real world works, sweetheart. I may look like a damsel, but I'm never in distress. ... Not me making fun of the "she's not like every other girl" trope <3 o.o :)) I like to think I'm funny. After all: #3 in amusement 10/22/22 #1 in banter 10/31/22 #3 in friendship 11/7/22Complete

The Academy
The Academy is a school for children with abilities. In it, kids and adults of all ages complete their schoolwork. The only way to get out into the real world, however, is to complete ten missions, challenges that the Headmaster thinks up. They're dangerous and often don't end in freedom... Jude is a fourth year student with Superhuman Memory, a practically useless ability compared to others. Unfortunately for her, that means she hasn't even completed one mission, much less the ten that will free her. Carlin is one of the most popular kids in the school--- he has his friends, his teachers, and even the Headmaster likes him--- but not Jude. He's finally gotten to eight missions completed, and his future is bright. When they have to journey deep into the woods with two other girls to find a box buried somewhere under the mud, will they be able to find it before time runs out?
