The Woodlands (#1 THE WOODLANDS SERIES) (COMPLETE)
Rosa never thought she'd make it to sixteen... When being unique puts you in danger and speaking your mind can be punishable by death, you might find yourself fighting to survive. Sixteen-year-old Rosa lives in one of the eight enclosed cities of The Woodlands. Where the lone survivors of a devastating race war have settled in the Russian wilderness because it's the only scrap of land left habitable on the planet. In these circular cities, everyone must abide by the law or face harsh punishment. Rosa's inability to conform and obey the rules brands her a leper and no one wants to be within two feet of her, until she meets Joseph. He's blonde, fair-skinned, green-eyed, and the laid-back complete opposite of Rosa. She's never met anyone quite like him, and she knows that spells danger. But differences weren't always a bad thing. People used to think being unique was one of the most treasured of traits to have. Now, the Superiors, who ruthlessly control the concrete cities with an iron fist, are obsessed with creating a 'raceless' race. They are convinced this is the only way to avoid another war. Any anomalies must be destroyed. The Superiors are unstoppable and can do anything they want. After all, they are considered superheroes by the general public. But not everyone sees them this way. When they continue to abuse their power by collecting young girls for use in their secret, high-tech breeding program, they have no idea that one of those girls has somehow managed to make friends even she didn't know she had.

The (Im)Perfect Romance(?)
"Watched out!" The crips but hoarse deep voice echoed in his ears. His world spun as he felt strong arms wrap around him. The feeling of someone's warmth encasing him seems foreign but gentle. The powerful light scent made him lose his reason for a bit and admire the beauty of the person who caught him. "Are you okay? I am sorry." He gazes at the young boy, wearing a pizza cup. His hair was dark but his eyes glistened like those reddish fireworks decorating the sky. His world looked as if it had stopped. He can feel his heart pounding in his chest. He was stunning as if the rest of the world paled in comparison to him. "Happy New Year." He smiled. He wanted to smack himself, but what made him smile even more was the young boy's smile. "It is nice," his voice echoed once more, "getting a greeting after all this time. Happy New Year."Complete

Everyone at Aptitude Academy has power within, and everyone in the school will either become brilliant, or be killed by the other students.

Marriage?
"huh...? what happened?" I spoke as he detached himself from me and suddenly just got up from the bed. He stood there for a second and ate up the space between him and the door with long strides. Seeing this, I got up as well. "Calvin, what's going on?" I asked, my tone firm. He stopped and looked at me - his eyes flashing regret and sorrow. "Bella...I'm sorry that I lost control over myself..." my eyes widened, "forget that all this ever happened." he went to leave, "Calvin! please! stop lying to yourself!!"
