Isabella arrived at Oakhill High hoping for a fresh start. As the heiress of a notorious family, she'd buried her true identity behind a carefully crafted "normal girl" disguise. Chloe kept her head down, a quiet bookworm with secrets of her own. But when the firing begins-sharply precise, frighteningly confident-neither is safe.
In the moments that follow, Isabella and Chloe lock eyes across the library. Together they slip into silent shadows: flitting down service stairwells, crawling through dusty maintenance tunnels, clinging to every scrap of intelligence they can find. Each borrowed corridor reveals more than just a path to safety-it unmasks a hidden battlefield of family rivalries and blood-oaths, tracing back generations and pointing squarely at one merciless hand.
Outside the school's ornate gates, Duke Chase, once Isabella's childhood friend, steps from the woods. He has secrets of his own knowledge of the underworld that has stalked Isabella's father for years. As the three of them join forces, every trusted face becomes suspect, and every corridor conceals another threat. Their quarry is no random madman but the latest striker in a feud of millionaires and mob enforcers-a vendetta they've just been dragged into.
Night falls, and the school's manicured lawns become a war zone. Isabella, Chloe, and Duke fight for every breath, forging weaponry from broken glass and sharpened brooms, decoding hidden messages in whispered threats, and peeling back the layers of a glittering façade that was built on violence. With each narrow escape, they edge closer to the truth-and to a confrontation that will expose the sinister heart beating at Oakhill's core.
Ahead lies a reckoning: a showdown where privilege will not protect them and holds money no power against a bullet or a broken promise. In end the, their survival depends on how far they're willing to go-and whom they're willing to trust-when the final shot rings out.

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.

He was wearing a black long sleeved shirt that was fitted so you could see his muscles. There was something off about him though. Oh, I know what it was. His eyes were bright purple. Then he blinked and they were sky blue. What the...?

Invisible threats start crawling from all directions. Who is the real enemy? TW : behaviours of depression and PTSD are displayed.

The Secrets We Keep
Epilogue The last bell of senior year didn't sound like an ending. It sounded like a breath. The sun poured across the football field as students spilled out in every direction, tossing notebooks and half-broken earbuds into the air. Adrian lingered at the edge of the bleachers, shoes pressed into warm metal, watching the chaos with a quiet smile. A year ago he would have been in the center of it-perfect grin, camera flashes, every movement rehearsed. Today he wanted the edges, where the noise couldn't drown out the heartbeat of something real. Eli found him first. Of course he did. No words at first, just that easy half-smile that still made Adrian's chest tighten. They stood shoulder to shoulder, the crowd's shouts fading into the steady rhythm of their breathing. "You ready for the next chapter?" Eli asked. Adrian glanced toward the parking lot where Nova and Lila were scrawling good-luck graffiti across each other's yearbooks, laughing loud enough to carry on the breeze. Chloe waved from a distance, her smile uncomplicated now, free of the secrets they'd both once carried. "Yeah," Adrian said. "I think I finally am." The investigation was over, the lies exposed. What remained weren't scars so much as stories-proof that they had survived and chosen each other anyway. Adrian had told his parents the truth weeks ago. It hadn't been easy, but it hadn't broken him either. Eli's fingers brushed his. A simple, public gesture. Adrian didn't pull away. For the first time in a long time, there was nothing to hide. No bonfire smoke. No locked apps. Just open sky and the promise of a summer that belonged entirely to them. Adrian laced their fingers together. "Let's go," he said. They stepped off the bleachers and into the sunlight, the secrets they'd once kept now just part of the story that had made them whole.
