In rural Vermont, a gravitational anomaly appears near a remote and deadly gorge mutating five teens into super empaths. 

                                               ***
Internet chatter about the geometric phenomenon attracts five adolescents --Creed, Mallory, Jaxxon, Gemma and Peter-lifelong friends who have been shunned as social outcasts at their high school. 

Instead of going on a class field trip, they decide to investigate the bizarre physics of the mysterious zone. 

As they explore the anomaly, the five unskilled empaths are exposed to an unknown force hidden in the ground. They discover alien energy has amplified their crippling empathic traits into genetic superpowers. 

They form a league and decide to create a community Utopia with their stunning new powers-swearing an oath to do no harm and help others-until one of them goes dark.

- "God Blake, you're a true enigma" Her eyes widened slightly at his words. "I don't understand" she claimed, backing up a step from him, which he had clearly noticed. And to her shock, he took a step forward, blocking the gap she had just created. "You seriously don't see what I was trying to do up there?!" he asked, almost in disbelief. "Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting to do that?!" she couldn't believe how loud he was suddenly. She had always known Lucian as a calm person with a soft, almost brooding voice that he never raised. Now it almost sounded excited, it was interesting seeing a new side of Lucian Black. - Something is happening at Cross Climb High-school Although it seems fairly normal, students going amongst their days unbeknownst to who they travel life beside. Blake Collins was forced to move schools, along with her four best friends. With her mother dead and her father in prison for attempting to murder her brother, she's in foster care, struggling every day with panic attacks and obsessive thoughts from a past of psychological damage. In her new school, she deals with not only her constant daily struggle to maintain normalcy, but also somehow becoming the director of the school play. Add a crush on the school's bad boy, Zac, who seems more interested in Stella, Blake's promiscuous best friend and also contending with another one of the school's popular boys, Lucian, chasing her constantly despite firmly keeping up her barriers. Everything seems fairly normal, at least at first. But, brewing nearby is a rage so intense that it's about to bubble over, and when strange things start happening around her, Blake can't help but fear the worst events will unfold and hope that it won't take the lives of those she loves along with her own. Be careful, because you never know what people are really thinking. - *Warning* Swear words, violence, thoughts of self harm, and spelling mistakes that I need to fix and I swear I will.

Luca is a troubled teenager, who everyone thought was hard to get along with. He almost believed it himself until one day, Estella, who ended up being the girl he likes, told him differently: that he wasn't a screw up, and that he was meant for something greater. Except he doesn't cope well when she leaves him suddenly. After Estella's departure, the impact is affecting him more than ever, causing him to not function properly on his daily activities. He tries his hardest to forget her, but flashbacks occur, and his decision to move on gets harder and harder. As another meteor shower approaches in their town of Curicó, Chile, more antagonizing memories pour out, causing him aches and pains in areas that he wishes would disappear. Not just over Estella, but also the abandonment of his ruthless parents. What's worse is that Ingrid, Estella's friend, has her eyes set on Luca for reasons no one knows about. She's clinging to him because she has a secret she has been carrying around and dying to share with him. What could it be? Will he ever find the true reason why Estella left so suddenly? Or will he just be in the dark once again? -------- Edit: This is a rough draft. Grammar is being changed and updated daily. Disclaimer: I do not own any rights to stock photos used!
