Crestwood Academy is where the wealthy sharpen their smiles and play by rules no one ever admits to. Classes aren't just classes-they're tests of survival. A debate isn't about winning; it's about proving who's untouchable. And the wrong answer? That can follow you forever...
---
Leila Grey knows all this. She's seen what happens to people who try to climb too high. Her plan is simple: Stay out of the spotlight. Pass the exams. Survive the dining hall coffee and keep her name out of the gossip.
But Crestwood has a way of dragging you in. Between Olivia's aggressively color-coded planner, clubs she never wanted to join, and the Legacies who rule the school with perfect hair and sharper words, Leila is already struggling to keep her head down.
Then one rumor turns into something much bigger.
Secrets surface. Power shifts. And suddenly, the people who were untouchable aren't so invincible after all.
Leila may keep her head down, but if you ever make her bow, you'd better give it your all. Because once true power lifts its chin, nothing-and no one-will be left alone standing.
And Jack? No one knows what to make of him. Enemy, ally - or something far more dangerous. In a place where loyalty is just another currency, figuring out his place in Leila's life might cost you everything.
When the masks fall and the games turn deadly, only one question remains.
Do you even have the guts... to see how it ends?

I began writing this book when I was very young and only a couple years later, I had stumbled across this app again and decided to look at what I created. In my spare time, i decided to edit as much as I could and began to write new chapters. Writing was a little hobby of mine, something that I didn't take seriously as I only wrote for fun. I definitely didn't think that my book would get this many readers!! Thank you to all of you who genuinely took time to read my book. I deeply apologise for keeping you all waiting, and left wondering if I was going ahead with this story or not. Sadly, to all of my readers who was looking forward to reading more of my story. I am sorry to say that I will not be working on this book anymore. Perhaps in the later future Heaven and Blake will make an epic return! However, as of now, their love story remains how it is. Thank you!Complete

The Materialists | Book 1 + 2 ✔
[ FINISHED - unedited ] ❝How do I... How do I stop them?" "You want to stop them?" Rachel raised an eyebrow. "Yes," I nodded. She immediately broke out into a high-pitched laugh. "Oh Laura, you can't.❞ Every prestigious high school has this. A group of people that are somehow, in some way "ranked" higher and superior to the other students. But at Redwood Academy, the system is a little different. Considering there is a wider range of students, the poor to the rich, you're ranked on how feared you are, despite the fame, money, family, or talent you have. Tao Kingsbury and Isaia Woods are quite high on this ranking system. And that's where they intend on staying. So tell me how some new bitch named Laura shows up out of the complete blue, not a background or dollar to her name, and is quickly climbing the social rank? And tell me why the only people who truly fear her are the ones that are feared themselves?
