"Choosing is obsolete. The real beauty in the world is how simple life can be if we let them show us the way."
Allesandra is a normal teenager in the Nation. She says all the right things, follows all the right protocols, and lets the government run her life. But what no one can know about her is that she has never been normal, only very good at pretending. 
She is different and when a government can tell you from the moment your born how many children you'll have, what your job will be, even who you'll marry, differences tend to be controlled.
When the day finally comes for the Nation to reveal the results of her SPTs- the system that tells the entire country how to live their lives- she realizes just how extreme those differences are. She is thrown into a new world where the end result could be fatal. As she meets people who share her ideas she embarks on the journey of a lifetime to finally uncover the secrets of the Nation and to see if there's any way out. Will she succeed despite the staggering odds or will she fall to a system where the uncertainty and possibilities of choice is eliminated?

Meet Violet Summers. She's the sarcastic girl who doesn't really ever get noticed by anyone. She blends into any crowd because of how "normal" she is. And she loves it. She wouldn't be able to stand the attention of everyone around her. That's why she won't tell Ryan Bloore, her crush for three years, that she practically worships the ground he walks on. Ryan is the captain of the basketball team at their school, so guys see him like he's a god and girls act like he walks on water. If they were to date, all eyes would be on her- she would be under everyone's scrutiny. So she's kept her feelings a secret, and she's done her best to suppress her emotions these past years, but she's realized that she's been so caught up in making people not notice her that she didn't realize how lonely she would be when no one was watching. Now meet Ryder Knight. School bad boy. Quarterback captain and heartthrob. The kind that wears a leather jacket and has tattoos all over his arms. The one who shows up to school riding a motorcycle. Just your average run of the mill "if you get involved with this guy, you will meet some serious trouble" kind of male. Well, too bad for Violet, she's stuck with him now. After all of the years of pushing away her feelings for Ryan because of her fear of being seen, she is now all anyone can look at- because of Ryder. Because of him, she can feel their stares, and she hates him for it. The longer they spend time together, the more Ryder starts to realize he actually enjoys being around her-despite her snarky comments about how much she despises him. And if Violet is being completely honest with herself, she's also starting to realize she might not actually hate the fact that people are noticing her now, but hate the way Ryder makes her feel.

Before the Answers

11 parts Complete

Every year on her birthday, Ahana opens a list. A list of questions. Some are silly. Some are sharp. Some feel like wounds pressed too hard. She answers the ones she can. She rewrites the ones that changed. And she adds more questions - because life never stops demanding answers. Because growing up doesn't come with closure. Because some questions linger year after year, waiting. ****** Ahana was always the girl with big dreams, perfect grades, and the kind of ambition that made adults smile and other teenagers step back. But at seventeen, she makes a choice no one expected. Not even herself. She walks into classrooms that don't inspire her, laughs with people who don't know her, and stares at the ceiling at 2 a.m., wondering if this is all she'll ever be. There are toxic friendships that drain her, and boys who don't stay. There's guilt for not loving someone back. And heartbreak from someone who couldn't choose her. There are late-night breakdowns, and moments of insane happiness. And always - always - there's the list. Through it all, Ahana keeps writing. Because the questions still matter. Because she's still trying to become the girl her seventeen-year-old self believed in. 'Before the Answers' is not a story of perfection. It's a story of almosts, quiet strength, and learning to be okay with not having all the answers.
