My name is Alexa.
I'm 15 years old.
And cancer is within me.
Within my body,
but not my soul.
And it never will be in my soul.
I have a bucket list,
like lots of other people.
There's not much on it,
only a few things.
• swim with dolphins at midnight
• fall in love with someone cute
• beat cancer once and for all
And I will accomplish them.
Because within me is cancer.
But also determination.
I have a year (as the doctor told my mom) to fulfill my bucket list wishes.
And I'm going to do it.
Not tomorrow.
Not later in life.
But now.

"I met Amara Rowe the week she started school here. She watched as an old friend stuffed her face with marshmallows. She left after looking lost, so I followed her. She was by a trash can looking... frustrated. She threw away a paper and I picked it out of the trash can after she left.... it was a list. Now it wasn't an ordinary list, no, it was a bucket list, with 10 things written on it. And at the top of the list was, make a friend. And the rest of the list looked... simple. She was simple. At the bottom of the list it said, die happy. And at the time I didn't understand, I didn't think much of it. I thought that maybe she was still adding to it and it wasn't in any specific order. But I wanted to help her do everything on that list. I couldn't help her if I wasn't her friend so that is what I did first." * Amara has a health issue that no other students know about.

Who am I living for?
I know it's probably weird for a girl who has cancer to be so well like me and all, but my family and I both agreed that I should live my life as long as I can. I mean of course when I get a cold it's more than just your typical cold and all, but that doesn't stop me from living my life. Even if I have cancer I am still a normal teenager, just one that has an experation date. So I'm starting this new thing where I make a video diary of what I have done the last 4-5 months of my life and then share it with my school so then they could see why I am so weird and care free.Complete

The Dark Witch: The Nox Haven Series
I'd Like to think I was a good person, before it all began. I didn't cheat on tests, or steal. But throughout my entire life, I was treated if I were a monster. At the age of five, after several agonizing tests, I was diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder. But not even that title could describe just how strange I was. When another kid got hurt, I would cry. Whenever someone else was told a funny joke, I would laugh hysterically. People looked at me as if I were crazy- and for while I agreed with them. That was until I, Caddie Jones, was exiled to Nox Haven Academy, a school for truly special kids. Not the mentally ill, psychotic kind of special but the magical kind. Like witches, vampires, fairies and werewolves. Call me crazy if you want, you wouldn't be the first. But the stories are all true. The supernatural did exist and I was one of them. Life there was cool until suddenly, I was faced with two-faced witches, egotistical princes, hormone driven werewolves, and an army of evil warlocks who were threatening to destroy the world. ... Maybe Nox Haven was a school for psychos after all. ---------------------------------------------------------- Highest Rank: #2 in Paranormal 1st Place winner of The Night Shift's Killer Competition 4/10/16 Illustration by: Stephanie Pitino (www.ClairObscur.fr) (1st book in series)Complete
