The Hunt
Trapped in a mysterious school with no clear way out, students must navigate a web of danger, betrayal, and hidden secrets. Is escape even possible? The rules are simple: break them, and you disappear. But within these walls, students can turn against each other in the battle for survival. Every day is a hunt, a deadly game that begins the moment the bell rings. Classroom C-3041 students share a single desperate goal: escape. But when a brutal Hunt wipes out a significant portion of the school's population, their mission shifts-now, they must find new students to fill the empty seats, or face punishment. The problem? Students are hardly trustworthy. In a school where sanity is a luxury and loyalty is fleeting, who can they count on? Terrance, the reluctant leader of C-3041, must keep his class alive while facing threats from within and outside the classroom. The rumors of a hidden school map, that supposedly reveals the location of the exit, might offer a chance at freedom. But when they risk everything to search for answers in the forbidden library, they uncover a map- that doesn't lead to an exit but to untouched, mysterious corners of the school. It promises a clue, but what if it's not just the school they need to escape from-but their own forgotten past? As they delve deeper into the school's darkest secrets, Terrance and his classmates must confront their shattered memories, surviving not only the dangers lurking in every corner but the ghosts of betrayal that threaten to tear them apart. In this school, it's not just about escaping-it's about staying sane long enough to uncover the truth.

The Boy Next Door
His faint laugh stopped me in my tracks, my body turning sightly to look at him again. "That was cute. Really, I loved it, but you know I can't just stay away." He said while using air quotations for the last part of his sentence. My narrowed eyes continued to shoot daggers at him, "and why is that, Grayson? Huh?" I asked in a mocking tone. He rubbed along his jaw while pulling in on his bottom lip, his head lightly shaking from side to side. "What?" I said louder, my patience long gone. "I live right next door," he deadpanned, "I'm not going anywhere. As far as I'm concerned we're gonna be seeing each other practically every day, so this whole thing about staying away just isn't going to work for you. I don't let things I love go so easily." A chill went down my spine as I watched him walk up the stairs of his porch, "sweet dreams, Cam." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eighteen year old, Cameron Woods, is ready to start her senior year alongside her friends and boyfriend, Damon Valero.
