Cidney Thompson embarks on a journey 2000+ miles across the United States with her best friends for a Battle of the Bands that could change their lives. While on their journey, they discover how friends can help them resolve fears, problems, and conflicts- and show how family is what you make of it. The group wants nothing more than to win this competition. They're tired of their mediocre lives making minimum wage. All they want to do, more than anything, is to perform music. They experience so much over two weeks, traveling across the country from Millwood, Kansas, to San Francisco, California. So many hijinks happen, but in the end, the group wins. Their prize is a record deal with MK Publishing, and with that, this chapter of their lives closes, and a new one opens.

Mostly Ghostly | Isaac Lahey ¹✓
"Sorry, Lahey, but I'm more of a cat person." Vera Pérez is no stranger to the supernatural. Growing up alongside the Hale family has kept her fairly well-informed about the creatures that lurk in the darkness. However, she didn't become one of those nighttime horrors until the end of her sophomore year- Derek had no choice but to turn her so she wouldn't die from her wounds after a kanima attack. The thing is, she didn't gain his fangs and claws. They say that the bite turns you into the shape of your character. Vera still isn't sure what to make of becoming some sort of glorified ghost. But with a pack of Alphas knocking on Derek's door and people disappearing left and right only to show up dead days later, she barely has time to think about anything else. It wouldn't be so terrible if it weren't for four specific facts: 1. The Alpha leader killed her father and may or may not be coming to finish her off. 2. Nobody seems to be safe from the mass murders in the town. 3. She has to spend more time than usual with Isaac Lahey, with whom she shares a mutual disliking. 4. Isaac pushes her buttons, but soon she starts to realize that she likes it. ©𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤 2019 𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐨𝐥𝐟 | 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝟑 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐚𝐜 𝐥𝐚𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐱 𝐨𝐜 𝐚𝐧 𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐒𝐄𝐍 𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐒 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 WINNER OF 2024 ARMAGEDDON FANFIC AWARDS FOR "BEST ISAAC LAHEY FANFIC"Complete

Such The Liar Painted Me
This is a #TeenFictionAnotherYearShortStory entry. --- Believe me, when adulting takes place, you forget your naïve little side instantly and are ready to fit yourself in the big boots. But let's say, it's too soon for Olivia Dee. For her, graduation was a ceremony, a consummation of all the misery and guilt she had had to bear, of which none whispered-and she finally had the chance to leave it all behind. But the world's twisted, right? What if...I say, she has to relive all her past memories--that nasty first kiss, to be labelled a troublemaker, to be accused of things she could never imagine ever doing? Sadly, this is not her decision to make. A day after her graduation, she wakes up to face her senior year again. She knows that she had completed her education, she spends hours yelling about it on everyone's face. But at the end, she has to go to college again with one question--how does she even return back in time? But this time, all she has to do is grapple with a recurring dream, try to eliminate all the dark spots in her senior year and find out the reason of this travel back in time. Yet one thing's for sure, she hasn't travelled back in time. I give you my word. I know. There are numerous black-outs, sudden falls, chills, drama and a whole different system of cheating, drugs, revenge and a famous Queen sister, who is, mysteriously, now not famous at all. Watch her swim and drown, as she struggles between her reality and to keep up with her past struggles again, literally. Meanwhile, there's one context she never understands: Death undoes anything. *** Credit to @cattown_graphics She is a real darling, and managed to present me this cover at a very short notice.

Trying Not To Love (COMPLETED)
I stepped forward and asked, "Where do you want me?" It took me a second to realize what I just said. Shit! I placed a hand on my crimson face and muttered, "Get your head out of the gutter! You know what I meant." He laughed, his voice sounded hoarse and deep even when he's laughing. I peeked at him from the gap I made between my fingers. He was close. So close. He grabbed my hand and took me to the bed. Damn! It did sound sexy. His shirt was loose. Too large for me, and it hung on me like a cloth hung on a hanger. He sat on the bed, criss crossed and pulled me to him. ♡♡♡♡♡ Cassandra didn't come to Brinkley mansion to belong. She came to survive the year and leave. Then there's Easton Brinkley. Arrogant.
