Seventeen-year-old senior Everly Hope Rodgers wants nothing more than a normal year after the traumatic events that took place right before summer vacation. 

The hope for normal is short lived as her parents have uprooted her and moved a state away and thrust into a big city and enrolled her into a pretentious private school. Unfortunately for her,  news of the events that took place had been broadcasted nationwide, and she's left the outsider with a dark past with people hiding from her around every corner. 

Finally coming to terms with the horrific series of events that nearly left her dead, Everly finds sanctuary in her eccentric art teacher and athlete Garrett Brooks, and enlists the help of her sweet psychiatrist to try and break it down to the root of it all and if it could have been prevented  

But for a girl who is caught in the grey area between right and wrong and reporters circling like vultures everywhere she turns, can she navigate her way through high school, or more importantly, the rest of her life?All Rights Reserved

Cover by LifeLustingDreamer *WARNING* I would just like to say that this book was written a long time ago when I was very young. Some of the relationships portrayed are toxic in many ways. My writing has gotten a lot better over the years, and I highly recommend checking out some of my new stuff!

BulletProof {Being Rewritten} by StarfireStone

Bulletproof: There is no better hell than high school. A time to live or die. A time to make or break your future. For Maria she had to survive same went for Sophia, Raymond and Jackson. But for Anya, Max, Noah living was the last thing they wanted to do. Life had taken its toll on these seven teenagers and it seems like fate was finally done with them. Embark on this short but saddening journey of how these seven teenagers deal with their life choices and home situations. Warning: BulletProof is a short story, meaning the book won't have more than twenty official chapters. BulletProof is also not edited which means I have not and will not get around to fixing the minor mistakes. For those of you who may or may not care, BulletProof is also not meant to cause TRIGGERS but this is a TRIGGER WARNING! There will be self harm, rape, cursing and so much more. And lastly, BulletProof is not meant to make people cry nor is it meant to have a happy ending. If you read, don't expect some godly miracle where everyone falls for each other and stays alive. It doesn't always work out that way. Now, this book is being rewritten as of October 12th 2018 - months after (possibly even a year) it was made and finished so bare with me if you are a new reader! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!

HOTHEAD by YA_fanatic24

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.

DREAMS IN THE SKY by Khleeopathra

What are you willing to sacrifice for your dreams? We all have a goal, a dream or just something that we constantly look forward to, something that drives us to become a better person. Whatever it may be, it can-and with much effort-will come true. In this teenage fiction; Emily constantly day dreams of exploring the world, making her talent recognized and useful, dreams and fantasies of getting famous, living the Rockstar life, getting on magazine covers and doing everything a literal celebrity would do. Though being a minor in a small limiting town might be a huge barrier, she is determined to do whatever it takes to make her dreams come true. Enjoy reading this teen-fiction that opens the mind to the real world, the world where success and everything is attainable, it all depends on how bad you really want it, and how far you are willing to go. Focus on the future, because clinging to the past {which in reality you can't do anything about} will only make you sick and leave you second-guessing yourself. Literally! DREAMS IN THE SKY.
