Get A Life | ONC2023 Shortlist by OnceUponASonder

While her best friend Cassidy snacks on brie and boys in France, Darcy Li-Quinn must face her last year of high school and the unpredictable wrath of her sister, Danica, alone. Darcy's plan for dealing with Danica and her heinous friends is simple-be invisible. But first, she's promised Cassidy she'll do 'one brave thing'. Mustering the courage to say 'hi' to the cute boy on the bus, Darcy expects rejection or indifference. She doesn't anticipate a grumpy ghost with unfinished business who needs her help. Suddenly, a quiet year of flying under the radar looks increasingly unlikely. *** Rationally, Hunter Viera knows that his brother's death wasn't his fault. But that doesn't stop his guilt about Archer invading his every thought or lessen the grief sitting heavy in his chest. Changing schools offers a fresh start, and Hunter's plan is simple-be invisible. But he hasn't counted on Darcy, or her ludicrous claim that Archer speaks to her from beyond the grave. Suddenly, a quiet year of sitting on the sidelines looks increasingly unlikely. *** This is a story about hearts and hope and public transport. This is Darcy and Hunter's story (and a little bit Archer's too). *** 'Get A Life' is my entry for Open Novella Contest 2023 and is inspired by the following prompts. 20. You finally build enough courage to talk to that cute someone you see every day on the bus. Their face turns dark as they respond "You shouldn't be able to see me." 9. There's an urban legend that's been circulating for years about a taxi cab that doesn't take you where you want to go, but where you need to go. One night, you stepped into this cab.

The Oak Harbor Massacre. A sweet sixteen party. Eight murdered. Others injured. Among the dead Rylan's parents & twin sister. What started off as a night with family & friends under the stars & twinkle lights endes in a bloody scene of screams & death. For years Rylan led everyone to believe she didn't want to speak of that night. Any part of that night. Magical or horrific. When in truth is Rylan has no memory of the attacks that night. Only what she had seen on tv or the internet over the years. And from the scars that covered her body from the brutal attack on her. Six years later Ryaln returns to her family's summer home to finally say goodbye to the past & put the house on the market. And maybe just maybe jog her memories. Was the face of the killer hidden away somewhere in the recesses of her mind? Would being back in Oak Harbor, back in that house, wake her memories? With plans to only stay a month Rylan gets right to work on the house with no intentions of reconnecting with old friends from that horrific night. But life has other plans for Rylan Somers. Old friendships grow stronger. New relationships get started. Lies are exposed. And the nightmare wakes back up ans this time is has a name... Nefarious. Will Rylan Somers make it out alive again? Or will Nefarious finally have the revenge they seek? I am posting the first four chapters of my book Nefarious here on Wattpad. The full book can be purchased online.

And what happens when he finds out the truth, after what he's done to her (and more?)?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE] If you confessed your feelings to your best friend and he shot you down, would you feel broken? What if he used your feelings against you and played a terrible prank involving underneath the bleachers, football players, slime, and cheerleaders? What would you do if three years later, you still feel exactly the same for him? What would you do if he now had deep feelings for you? Meet Harper. Harper has a troubled past, but she never let it get in her way of living life to the fullest. She was a wild child, and the bravest person you'd ever meet. However, her confidence was crushed one day by the guy that meant the most to her. She changed herself completely because of how badly he crushed and humiliated her. For three long years, she tried everything to get over him, but it never worked. What will she do when she discovers that he likes her too? Meet Noah. Noah regrets the day he decided to pull a prank on Harper using her feelings for him against her. At the time, he just wanted his football buddies to like him and wasn't interested in getting into a relationship yet. Since then, however, he's grown to like her... maybe even love her. For a couple years or so, he's watched as she dates boy after boy and break their hearts like he broke hers. All he wants is for Harper to be his, but when he remembers what he did, he can never ask her. Until one fateful day... What will happen when Noah finally shares how he feels? What happens when Noah's brother comes to town and secrets of his and Harper's past unfold? How will Harper react when she realizes how many lies Noah has told and how many secrets he keeps? Will Noah be able to keep saying she's his? Or will he lose her? (My first story so please be kind and give me constructive criticism. This is copyright, so please don't steal my plot.)
