Calliope, a seventeen year old girl, was a normal kid living with a single mother since she was six years old. Her father left them for another woman according to her mother, but the sadness and fear that showed in her mother's eyes as she said this made Calliope think twice. 

What if he had reasons to leave? What if it was important for the family or possibly even more than the family?

After a terrible disaster that happened during her bestfriend's birthday, she received a call from the academy her father studied in during his teen days offering her a home, food, and education which she absolutely needed after losing everything. 

They said they would give her answers and eventually help her control the powers she never thought she had, but after venturing inside a world she thought would only be in books, she later realized she could trust no one, not even herself.

She had to face everyone if she wanted to know the truth behind the disappearance of her dad and the death of her mom and bestfriend. 

If you're surrounded by darkness, you'll be attracted to any sliver of light, right? But what if that sliver of light is her voice which she absolutely hated since it had the potential to save the world she loved or destroy it.

"Are you stalking me?" His deep voice asked. "You wish, that would mean I actually thought about you enough to wonder where you are." I looked away smugly. Max moved closer to me until his face was right in front of mine. "You're saying you don't think about me?" He smirked, fully knowing what the proximity was doing to me. "I don't, why? Did you want me to?" I Regained my composure as I moved even closer, our lips nearly touching. ~~~ Alexa is a normal girl who just wanted to get through school without any trouble.

Twisted Deception by StarrySky_23

[Book #1 of Twisted Deception] "You people don't know a damn thing about us, don't even speak." **** Everyone knows that high school is always something to dread. GPA, friends, enemies, prom, graduation, everything that you think would make high school good and bad for the future. Now scratch off friends, GPA, prom, and graduation. Why would you scratch them off? Because everything else will be the only thing that's important when you get to this high school. Saint Johnathan Pier is the one high school in the city where everything happens and normally, stuff you wish you didn't see. Everyone warned people about the dangers of the students going there but did they ever mention the people already broken by it? They were dubbed "the rainbow colors of society" just because they were different from other students in this school. But there's a slight differential between them: four of these students are popular while the other four are normal. While the four populars are seen as "superior, hot, and intimidating", the four normals are seen as "weirdos, weaklings, and irreverent bystanders". Being different from the other kids has always been a struggle for all of them since grade school, but they try to keep that out of mind. But with their dark history following them at every corner, making new friends can't be on their list. Matter of fact, it isn't an option. Especially when their attitudes are what drive people away rather than in. Not like they're complaining though. When these eight students get paired up for an end of the year assignment, they encounter a lot of drama that will test their relationships to the max. What will happen to them? Can they grow comfortable with each other? Can these troubled teens even be friends in the first place? Come along on the journey as these eight try to survive their last year of high school. ⚠️TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️: This contains strong language, mentions of rape, bullying, etc.

It was gentle and soft, something I never expected from a guy like him. He moved his right hand from my cheek to my waist, tugging me against him, and molded our bodies together. A wave of electricity went down to my core when he licked my lips. "Open your mouth, Bella." His commanding husky voice against my lips jolted my heart, and I followed his order like a slave. With no control, a moan erupted from my throat as his tongue met mine. It was barely audible, but I knew he heard it when he smiled against my lips. He swept my hair from my face to my back and gathered them in his fist. He tugged my head back, deepening the kiss, and my heart thrashed in my chest. At that moment, I didn't need drugs to know what being high felt like because his lips were enough to send me on nine clouds. Just once and I was addicted to it. If this is how being kissed feels like, then fuck, I've wasted a lot of time. ~^~^~^~ FEATURED ON: @Romance (Romantic Suspense) HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 Goodgirl, Darkpast #2 Badboy #5 Newadult

After the passing of the only matriarchal figure she ever had, Dierdre's life becomes nothing short of a nightmare. As if her foster father's grief-driven drinking problem wasn't enough, she has to deal with his new wife, who just has a talent for making her life hell, even more so, when her evil stepmother somehow convinces him to have Dierdre sent away to an obscure new school on the other side of the country, and Dierdre can do nothing about it. Upon arrival at this school, she immediately becomes suspicious: why are there so many CCTV cameras? Why are most of the kids in that school orphans? Why do students keep disappearing, each one after being invited for tea by a particular teacher? And what exactly are those awful noises heard echoing through the building each night? And then there's the "drop-dead gorgeous" guy who mysteriously turns up, a man straight, literally out of a dream she had had the night before she had come to the Academy, a secretive, aloof creature who seems to know more about her than she knows about herself. Where does he come from? Who is he? And how does he seem to know Dierdre's deepest secret, an abnormal talent she dare not expose? Things don't improve any when she catches feelings for this mysterious guy she can't fight off, try as she might, and they get worse when Gena, a beautiful, vivacious girl, seems to have woed him over ... All these things, the dark mysteries around the school, Dierdre's love interest and the secret of her true nature, comes together in one revelation: that destiny has chosen both of them for something neither of them had asked for, and they find themselves entangled in a spider's web of the shocking, yet intricate secret the school was founded upon ... for there is no fighting against fate ...

Death Wish

44 parts Complete Mature

Linnea has been wanting to die ever since her family was in a car crash. She was the only survivor and she's been riddled with guilt since that day because she was driving the car. Her guardian, Thibault, has been telling her how worthless she is and how she'll never be wanted ever since he had to take her under his wing. She started to believe it, so she hardened her heart. She's terrified that someone will leave her because they don't want her. She doesn't let anyone see her real emotions and doesn't let anyone in her heart. Then along comes Lorenzo. He tears down her walls and helps her from Thibault, but she's scared he'll leave her. So she pushes him away, not knowing that their lives are so much more connected than she thought. A/N-I marked this as mature because there are some pretty graphic scenes and it deals with self-harm/suicide.
