Subject Me To Life [Book One] ✔️ *EDITING* by ViennaXo

BEFORE YOU READ- DISCLAIMER! The main character is blunt, hates life and is very vulgar and hateful towards everyone and everything . However there is a reason for this. She is strong-headed and short-tempered, ill-mannered and disrespectful (though some may say in a loveable way). If this isn't for you, then I wouldn't suggest reading this book. It's about character development and personal growth. - Kody Lawrence is not normal. On the contrary, she's everything but. When the hot-headed, short-tempered, rude new girl arrives in the small town of Raven Hollow, Maine, most people are put off by her unexpected and -considering her horrible attitude and pessimism- unwanted appearance. However, despite her constant locked jaw, clenched fists and cold glare, Lilah Johansson, Kody's appointed 'buddy', can't help but want to be her new friend in spite of their not-so-impressive first impression. But Lilah is not to be sold separately, and with the friendly redhead comes four boys with charming smiles and welcoming arms that hide their own secrets and covered-up lies. Amongst the group of five, Dakota Black is the one who stands out with his calculating eyes and kind heart, and while Kody has no intention to stick around longer than a few months, he might just be the one to change that. With a duffel bag of money, a box-filled with different identities, a pocket full of problems and a closet stacked to the brim with secrets, Kody's quiet and peaceful Senior year takes a couple of unexpected turns. The only question is: Are they for better or for worse? ___ (Small disclaimer: The first few chapters aren't the greatest, but I took some time off from writing this book and came back to it when I'd gotten a bit better with writing, so if you can get past the rocky start, hopefully you won't regret it). ___ Re-published: 7.4.18 (7th of April) Finished: 9.3.20 (9th of March) Currently editing and correcting mistakes / plot holes.

High School Royale by Joker_107

It would've been a normal Friday. Weekend plans. Chemistry tests. Relationship rumors. But on that day, at 9:10 a.m., all 1,484 students of Stonewall Academy High School wake up on their homeroom desk and are forced into a simple, brutal game: a fight to the death. Across the school, six students will battle for survival and discover the meaning of trust and betrayal. RAYMOND is the junior valedictorian who talks little, a genius with a mysterious past and unclear intentions. SKYLAR is popular and beautiful, and has tabs on everyone thanks to her newspaper and yearbook class. JESSE is a star athlete on the varsity baseball team, quick to protect his friends but slow to make the right choice. ALYSSA is a kind girl who's a model of perfection, as an Ivy-bound pre-med major and former cheer captain. GRACE sticks to herself and prioritizes her own survival above all else, but has mastered the sport of archery. ROWAN is a freshman trying not to fail half his classes, struggling to live up to his brother's shadow. These six people don't know much about each other at the start of the games, but will find their fates entwined in ways none of them will have expected. As the games go on, friendships will be forged and challenged, and loyalties will be tested. Out of the battlefields will come unbreakable bonds and resilient hope. The clock ticks down. The only way out is to play, and the only way to play is to fight. UPDATES EVERY SUNDAY, 11AM CST
