X wishes he could help them. X wished to ease their pains, and show them the right path. But X knew wishes were fickle, not the reality these teens live in.
He all but wanted to wipe the lies that plagued the school, and reveal the mysteries that caressed its walls. To bring down those walls that were firm in betrayals and fake life.
The skeletons that were hidden in their closets piled more and more, threatening to burst free.
While doing what they do, surprises pop out.
Something - someone - big, teased the cracker with smoke. Maybe that is what the Big Bang needed.
And with a sigh, X let them do their thing.
A TRIGGER OR THE GUN tells us about how even the littlest of flame can blow up the biggest mountain. Create the greatest earthquake, shake the lives they believe living is the best.
I'm excited to know what- who this little flame is, don't you wanna know?
"Teenagers are naive and predictable," They said.
Well, let's see about that.

After a long anticipated party hosted by one of the most popular boys in school, a rumour goes round the entire school and gets the names of the two least expected classmates, in the mouths of the entire population of Castron High. One word: Madness. 𝑫𝒂𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒖𝒄𝒉𝒊 𝑶𝒓𝒋𝒊 - a major 'outcast', a girl who barely escaped being at the full disadvantaged end of the Social hierarchy, because she was saved, hidden, and protected under the wings of one of the most highly placed cliques in her set - realises that as a result of this ridiculous and unexpected rumour, she may just be about to bite more than she can chew. Unspeakable dares are passed on. Sealed pledges are made, the worst of pairs are forced to match-make, secrets are revealed, the mystery behind the strangest, most unusual people are discovered, and the most dangerous games are played when the notorious gang boys/hoodlums, known for terrorising the school come into the whole story, thirsty for blood. Most alarming yet, an outcast who has always been the centre of attention for the wrong reasons and a damaged playboy with narcissistic traits dare to fall in love in a world that forbids them to. In the end, all that's left to realise it that every teenager is one way broken and needs saving. ❦︎ In a world where home is equivalent to Hell, and Highschool is a society, reeking of vanity, where social hierarchy is the order of the day, and the madness to maintain status quo is a much bigger deal than it should be, anyone is bound to lose their goddamn mind. Two broken teenagers, living the same unbearable reality, and struggling to know who they are, find solace, and a means of escape, with each other. But is it really worth it?
