Meet Carolina.

Brilliant, witty, and weird, she spends her days studying and sketching birds in the backyard of the old country house she shares with her free-spirited mother. 

Her solitary pursuits make Carolina a target for bullies, whose incessant teasing she shakes off as best she can.

Until a prank goes too far, leaving a devastated Carolina, a burnt body and so many questions. Who is the strange boy she keeps seeing in the forest? Who can she trust, in a world filled with such inhumanity? 

Can Carolina ever truly go home, or did her ties to this world burn up in that fire, the ashes floating away into the night?

When they awake in a ghost town with no memories of their pasts, Fox, Lightning, Griffin, Rowan, and Blue have no choice but to do what it takes to survive. Surrounded by a forest full of dangers and the chill of winter setting in, that seems like a difficult enough task at first. But then they meet SAM. SAM is an enigma to them, a shadowy being who speaks in cryptic clues and veiled warnings. And their presence seems to make everything spiral out of control. As nightmares seep into reality and dreams seem to guide them to an impossible place, the five must race to answer the questions of who they are and why they've been brought here before their time runs out. The Otherworld is waiting, and its master is growing impatient. **This is only a sample.

Heartbreak Weather | ✓ by aishixwrites

⚡caution : this isn't a story of happily-ever-after love & heartwarming romance. this is a story of heartbreak. ⚡ all the graphics in this book are made by me!! the pictures, although, are taken from pinterest and belong to their rightful owners. ⚡ attention : this is a very unedited piece of work!!! i'll edit it someday in 2023, though, don't worry. ⚡please note that this book is exclusive to only wattpad for now, so if you see it somewhere else, please inform me! • ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ • Not all love is meant to last. • ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ • Elaine Black doesn't wear her heart out on her sleeve. Or so had she thought until she collided with the cheeky green-eyed boy, Kayden Lawson, who had the most charming tricks up his sleeve - tricks just smooth enough to make Elaine realise, that maybe, indeed, she did wear her heart out on her sleeve. Maybe, for a few late night talks, stolen glances and shy flirty exchanges - Elaine was completely willing to change everything about herself - to fit in. To make Kayden keep looking at her. But unfortunately, every person does not know how to keep care of another's heart, and often end up breaking them. And spoiler alert, Kayden turned out to be one of them. Too bad that even after her heart was abandoned, Elaine's heart kept singing Kayden's name like a long-forgotten song. Too bad that, undoubtedly, heartbreak weather had come. • ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ • unedited. ©2022 to Aishi Mitra @aishixwrites.

An Unexpected Moment by caromerri

... 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!

She then learns what it really meant to get the raw end of life. Follow as Alexandra deals with more then she thought she could handle.

It does have around 40 chapters so it might not seem like it. But trust me that it is.] ||Full Disclosure|| I started the book in the end of 8th grade so it needs MAJOR editing. It also does have Sexual Chapters, as well as people of the same sex being together, murder, brutally torture talk of rape and sexual harassment. So if you do not wish to read things like that then this unfortunately isn't the book for you. ||You Have Been Warned|| First book in the Heart series. •Do Not Copy This Book In Anyway•

However, Mason hated his life and the secret that he had to live with. He didn't like keeping it, but for his own sake, he had to. With an egotistical jerk and an awkward nerd for partners on an English project, who knew that those two would make the perfect pair. They certainly didn't anyway.
