The Sport keeps the world balanced.
The desperate enter.
The strong survive.
The dead are forgotten.
Every summer, Vanessa does the same job-cleaning up the bodies The Sport leaves behind. It's a brutal cycle, but it's kept her out of the arena.
But this summer feels different.
The government's latest announcement wasn't a law. Not yet. But the moment it echoed through the cafeteria, everyone understood.
Something is shifting. Fewer volunteers. More open slots.
And when the system needs bodies, it always finds them.
Participation has always been a choice.
This summer, that choice might disappear.
And just when Vanessa thinks her only options are to fight or to die, something-or someone-leaves a message in her path.
A warning. A summons. A test.
Because The Sport isn't the only game being played.
And for the first time, Vanessa isn't just a spectator.

Miss Marvelous: Chaotic Summer
After finishing her first year of high school, Vanessa tags along with her foster dad Joe to The Acres, a retreat center in Watertown US, to deal with the new Rabies variant that's becoming a global crisis due to the wide spread of Albino Anacondas. During her stay at the camp, Vanessa makes some new friends, gets tangled in new life or death situations, meets a mysterious stranger, and taps into a stronger power she never knew she was capable of. Teaser: The closest one to me is in Watertown. After a minute or two of showing the list, the camera flickered back to the lady and she began talking about how the U.S government will deal with this new virus. Losing interest in the topic, I switched the channel to DisneyPlus and put on one of my top favourite movies; Doctor Strange. I love how the editors behind the movie made the effects SO realistic. Twenty minutes into the movie, I got a text from my friend Rachel.Complete![DELUSIONS (Sample) [PUBLISHED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/79173952-256-k144674.jpg)

Certainly they could trust that those in power ultimately had the best interests of the people in mind, right? ~~~ Luna slouched low in her seat, staring at droplets of water that ran diagonally down the window of the bus. The sky was a flat, depressing grey and the incessant, soaking rain left her constantly chilled. It was a typical "liquid sunshine" day in the Pacific Northwest. They drove past a single tall scraggly tree on top of a hill shrouded in mist. The creepy tree was full of screaming crows. How could she hear them from inside the bus when she couldn't even seem to hear the voices of the kids around her? Geez, that was an awfully freaking dark image. She shivered and looked away. What did they call a group of crows again? Right, a murder of crows. Perfect. The weather was certainly the only thing that was typical these days, although you'd never know it by looking around the bus at most of the kids as they sat joking and gossiping with each other just like they had before... before that day everything had changed. Idiots.Complete
