On a night filled with laughter and joy, the last day at Ebonvale Academy marked a bittersweet farewell for eight students. Believing it to be their final moments together, they decided to perform a friendship ritual, hoping to bond their spirits forever. But the ritual went horribly wrong. The students found themselves split into four pairs and transported to a twisted version of their school: Hollowcrest Academy, a realm shrouded in eternal night and shadow. As they navigated the eerie, decaying halls, they soon realized they were not alone. Nightmarish creatures, born of their deepest fears, began to hunt them relentlessly. In this world of terror, each team must use their wits and courage to survive. The halls echo with the screams of the lost, and the air is thick with a sense of impending doom. As they struggle to stay alive and find an escape, the bonds of friendship are tested to their limits. Betrayal and despair lurk around every corner, threatening to tear them apart. Will they find a way to escape Hollowcrest Academy's sinister grasp, or will they fall victim to the horrors that await them? In this realm, survival is the only goal, but not all will make it out alive.

An internal voice whispered, "Call him." But I chose not to. I dismissed it once more, saying, "He never liked me anyway." Yet the dilemma lingered. "But maybe he does. The way he looks at you... it's different." Out of nowhere, he glanced my way. My heartbeat quickened, sending shivers down my spine. I averted my gaze, pretending to look around. "Has he noticed me? No, wait-oh my god." --- After switching high schools, Nina discovered a new way of life. She fell in love, made wonderful friends, and everything seemed perfect. But Ethan-a popular boy who never focused on anyone but her-was the object of her hatred. He was always there, always keeping her safe. He used to annoy her endlessly. She hated him deeply. Until she didn't. For a while, she was content with her high school experience. That is, until something mysterious turned her world upside down. Forced to move to a new city, Nina had to cut ties with everyone she once knew. Eight years later, fate brings her face-to-face with him again. "Ethan..." He's the key to everything-the truths she never knew. When she was lost in the dark, he always held the light. But now, things are different. She despises him. He's colder than ever.

Vantahaven: The Five by RykerRivers

Power isn't given. It's taken. For centuries, Blackwell Academy has been more than just a school-it is a proving ground for the most elite magical bloodlines, where power is currency and weakness is a death sentence. At its center stands an unbreakable brotherhood: The Five of Vantahaven. Chosen heirs of the most formidable bloodlines, bound by an ancient Covenant that grants them extraordinary abilities-at a price. But when one of them is found dead under mysterious circumstances, the fragile balance of their world begins to unravel. Dark whispers of betrayal seep through the academy's shadowed corridors, and the remaining four must navigate a web of deception, hidden rituals, and a history written in blood. As they search for the truth, they uncover something far more terrifying than a murderer in their midst-the Covenant is cracking. The magic that has sustained their power for generations is no longer stable, and breaking it may unleash something far worse than death. Loyalties will be tested. Secrets will come to light. And in Blackwell Academy, the truth is far deadlier than the lies that protect it. Because the Five were never meant to remain five. They were always meant to fall.

Trapped In Love ✓ by StellaAdamsHere

"C- Can you move b- back a little?" My words made him smirk and if it's even possible, he came closer. Why do I always have to stuck between him and the desk?! "Why? Am I making you nervous?" "No." I lied. Ofcourse, he was making me nervous. His eyes had the power to hold a person on his place and that's what his eyes were doing to me. "Really?" He asked, putting his hands on my waist and pulling me closer towards him. On instinct, I put my hands on his chest. I didn't like it. I didn't like the way my body was responding to his touches. "T- This is un- unprofessional." I choked out the words, but I wish I couldn't have. He brought his face closer, so close that I could feel his minty breath on my lips. My lips parted accordingly in shock. "Oh, is it?" He said, mockingly. Oh god! What have I gotten myself into? •••• Aaron Steele, the CEO of the multi billionaire Steele's Company was the eligible bachelor of 25. He always had his way among girls and having blue eyes, a chiseled jaw and a hot body, didn't help either. With new woman on her arms every other day, he was obviously not planning on falling on that cliché word also called love, but would his thoughts of not falling in love still remain the same, after meeting her? Sienna Collins was a girl of 22 with extremely shy personality. After completing her graduation, the only thing in her mind was to get a good job and settle on her own, but what she didn't expected was a job at Steele's Company. This is a story of the innocent and the sinful. Read inside to find out what happens when two persons from exactly opposite worlds collide together. #I would suggest 14+ to read this story as some part in the book contains mature scenes. ~ # 37 in Romance #12 in humor *I am not a grammer nazzy, so there would be grammatical mistakes.*

#1 Teen Fiction | #1 Young Adult | #1 Romance "We all need someone to drive us mad." - The Wombats. He stared arrogantly down at me, a smirk plastered across his face. I sneered up at him with distaste, wanting to wrap my fingers around his neck and strangle that smirk off of him. He brushed my golden hair from my face, his long, slender fingers sparking electricity in my skin, making my knees wobble together. "Will you ever, forgive me?" he whispered huskily, his eyes intently staring into mine. His face was only mere inches from me. I just needed to reach out a little further to kiss him... "Yeah. Over my dead body." I snapped, before throwing my arms out forcefully, shoving my hands into his chest, pushing him from me. -*-*-*- He, is Carter Williams. I, am Lacey Adams. We were once, inseparable. The 'Golden Couple'. The unbreakable best friends, that everybody envied. Nothing could get between us. A part from being tighter than white on rice, we updated our status from friends to being in a relationship, frequently. We were neighbours, which meant our families were all close and even co-owned houses around our town. This, all is, until the day of my sixteenth birthday. Everything changed. The loving relationship we shared, was severed and torn apart. I couldn't hardly stand to look at him any more, without spitting fire that is. Every day is torture being around him. He was in all my classes at school and the window in my room was even directly aligned with his. So, what happens? My mother's mum gets sick, so dad and her fly out. Just them. Leaving me to stay with Carter and his parents, who are never home. We would be alone. In one house. Under the same roof. If I was insane before, I have no idea what I am now. © 2016 by LaurenJ22.
