[COMING OF AGE NOVEL]

Skye Hemming is one of many--a girl who finds herself in Wisconsin, with more than just the present on her mind. Between school and friends, she juggles one year after another with the help of her best friend and partner in crime, the half-British boy Fynn whose family originates from England, but has lived in Port Bergen since day one, directly across the street from the Hemming residence. Among the commotion of losing friends and gaining new ones, Skye comes face to face with challenges she never expected to confront, stringing together emotional unbalance, internet fame, and the dreadfully awful drama between cliques at school. In any case, Skye's place in Port may just be another whirlwind of adventure.

The following pages record Skye's life from first grade to high school. Please support my book in the 2015 Watty Awards! Thank you! :D

HOTHEAD by YA_fanatic24

Growing up in a toxic environment, sixteen-year-old Jay Foster has always had psychological problems, coupled with a quick temper. But one night something happens which finally pushes him over the edge, and as a result, he leaves his house the next morning with two things: his mother's gun and a plan. Living with a neglectful and drug addicted mother wasn't easy for Jay, and it definitely didn't help that his father abandoned the family while he was still a child. He harbored a hatred toward his parents, and that hatred extended to almost everyone and everything around him, producing a very troubled and damaged young kid. As Jay enters high school, he becomes very intrigued with one of his classmates. Kind of obsessed, actually. Her name: Mikayla Keeler. Mikayla is very unique, and like Jay, she doesn't seem to fit in with her contemporaries. Instead, the two of them keep each other company, and their friendship very quickly escalates into a romantic and intimate relationship. Despite having Mikayla, Jay's troubles continue to burden him. He and Mikayla are fighting habitually, his home life is still unbearable, and his time at school is hardly any better, made worse by a bully named Calvin. Their mutual dislike of one another leads to a lot of hostility, routinely leading to Jay being sent to his school's principal. One confrontation in particular goes much too far, resulting in Jay's expulsion from school. With everything seemingly piling up, Jay is very close to his breaking point, and late one night he is blindsided by the unthinkable, pushing him much too far and effectively planting in his mind a cruel and horrific plan for revenge.

By Your Side (Preview) by LiAWake

Sometimes the biggest threats are family. James, a soon-to-be high school graduate and ranking member of the locally known outcasts, is about to take the next step in his life. Reflecting on his past leading up to this, he regretted not doing what every other high schooler seemed to do, from constant partying and experimenting with drugs, but what he deemed most important-having a relationship. Watching his childhood crush, Hannah, who he was once inseparable with, becoming the most popular girl in school and leaving him in her rearview mirror. Fighting with his emotions and wondering how he'd ever rise above the seemingly more qualified fish in the sea resulted in James being consumed by his internal darkness. The only thing able to pull him out of it is his best friend, Clare-Hannah's outcast cousin. With everyone going their separate ways, it presented one final chance. James is forced to decide if Hannah's worth chasing after and keeping his darkness at bay. Or letting her go and fully giving in to his self-destructive ways.
