What does a liar do when dead?

𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘆 𝗝𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀 doesn't do simple. From life at home, to his family and to his relationships, they all lacked stability. Unfortunately, his life becomes more complicated when a seemingly harmless task leads him to something far greater than he could possibly imagine. 

𝗠𝗶𝘄𝗮 𝗛𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗼 knows it's time. As the eldest Hamato, it is time for her to undergo her training to mold herself into the leader her father and siblings expect her to be. But leadership is not a word in her vocabulary. Her recent behavior has everyone around her questioning, but surely it's nothing to worry about. . .

𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 '𝗢' 𝗡𝗲𝗶𝗹 feels weird. Ever since the attack that happened at school, April has been noticing small changes in her reality. When those small changes spiral into disturbing and frightening experiences she can't explain, she realizes something is wrong with her. Very wrong. 

𝗥𝗮𝗽𝗵𝗮𝗲𝗹 𝗛𝗮𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗼 tries to stay away. Everywhere he goes, student Mak is there- almost like the universe is telling Raphael that they're intertwined no matter what. Perhaps he should make an attempt to be friends with Mak. After all, him and Mak seeing each other frequently is nothing more than a coincidence. . . right? 

Dive into these four significant tales, all while joining Talia and her allies in a race against the clock to stop Shredder and his business partner- 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵.

Jesabel is a liar. When her only friend mysteriously disappears, she does what comes naturally. She keeps her truth from the world. Without warning, she is thrown into a web of lies far more dangerous and lethal than anything she could imagine. With an annoyingly charming boy by her side, can she unravel what she refuses to tell - the truth? WHITE LIES HAS BEEN REVISED, EDITED AND REWORKED! Happy late new year, friends! I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that White Lies, a story that has been up and running on Wattpad since 2011, has been re-written and revised for the coming decade. What does this mean? This entails the same characters you know and love, with better flow, better writing, more nuanced character development, more mature content, and entirely different plot lines. Jesabel's character has changed drastically since I last introduced her to the world (nearly NINE years ago! yikes!), and I wanted to make this story a more nuanced and modern take. When I had written White Lies, I had been just 14 years old. And I've done a ton of growing, learning, and unlearning over the years. This means that my characters have grown and developed with me. If you are an old friend and re-reader - welcome, and please enjoy the same old story you love with a brand new take! If you have started along this White Lies journey beginning in December and all throughout January, you might have read a half-edited and half-original version of the story. So please feel free to re-read at your leisure! I won't bite, I promise.

Being alone? Check. Being afraid? Check. Being abused? Check times 3. Honestly, my life wasn't this bad before, not until I ended in foster care... SIKE! My life was always bad. From the moment I was born, I lived with an abusive father who blamed me for my mother's death, and even I couldn't disagree with him. Here are a few questions I am constantly asked: 'Do I do well in school?' No, are you kidding me? The only subject I'm good at is Visual Arts. 'Do I have a kind and caring family?' No, I don't think I do. 'Do I have anyone who cares about me?' No, I'm a loner and socially awkward. 'Do I have privileges?' No, if you haven't understood the message yet, I live in an abusive household. Now, you might ask if there are any questions the answer is yes. I'll give you some. 'Do I want to die?' Yes, I sometimes do. 'Do I feel alone in this world?' Yes, always. 'Do I get a beating every day?' Yes. *** This is Amara Williams, a 13 year-old with average grades and no friends. What happens when her only guardian, her dad, is dead? What happens when she finds out that she has five older brothers who are not only strict and demanding, but also protective assholes? More importantly, what happens when she finds out that she was taught lies from the moment she was born? Follow Amara as she digs deeper into her family history, uncovering the secrets and discovering the lies. ___ ⚠️ Trigger Warning ⚠️ There will be mentions of abuse, r@pe, self harm, death, and many other dark themes. I have given a warning now, and I will give a TW in each chapter when reading for safety reasons. However, I want all of my readers to know what to expect so that they can decided for themselves if they want to read.

Everyone keeps secrets. Everyone lies. You better make sure no one saw what you've done before making up your lies because all it takes is one person with the truth on their lips for your life to be destroyed. ...... "Blood." Caroline stuttered, seeing the blood flowing from her head. Charlotte looked at the steel bat in total shock, a few drops of blood dropped on the ground. " I had to save you," Charlotte explained, looking at Caroline. " I know. Is she breathing?" Care walked closer, holding her injured arm. " I will check," Caleb volunteered. He put his hands over her nose to feel for her breathing. " No, no, no," Caleb repeated in fear. She's dead
