Allegra, known to everyone as Alli, is almost 16 years old and feels different. While her classmates spend their summer holidays on exciting trips, Alli and her single mother are stuck with the routine of their small train station kiosk. She is far from popular at school, and at home, silence often fills the air. But recently, Alli has noticed something changing within her. Her senses are becoming sharper, her instincts more intense, and she feels that something deep inside her is awakening-something she can't explain. What might seem like ordinary puberty turns out to be much more. Alli begins to perceive the world around her differently, as if she doesn't quite belong. Her mother watches these changes with concern but remains silent, keeping Alli at a distance. One day, when Alli makes a strange discovery in the old garden shed behind their house, questions start to arise: Who is she really? And why does she sometimes feel like a stranger in her own skin? Alli has no idea that she is at the start of a journey that will forever change her understanding of herself and the world. A secret her mother has been hiding for years is about to be revealed-a secret meant to protect her from a threat far beyond anything Alli could ever have imagined.

My dad kept on telling me that being a nerd isn't a bad thing and that I'm on the right track but I'm positive that being terrorized in the halls daily isn't something that's good. Lucy is the Genius Freak of the school, she's crossed out from every single social class and only has one friend. She believed that she will never get that happily ever after that the books she read has led her to believe.

Or will the BadBoy play her heart and cast her to the curb like every other guy has done to her? (Suitable for people who's searching for a good laugh - hopefully)

You Make The Pain Go Away by denoly12

Dana is anything but the average 18 teen year old girl. She's living in a literal hell where she is forced to read minds. In all the stories and TV shows she'd seen, there was a perk to this. You'd get more information or have the upper hand, that is, if you could control it. Unfortunately she had never had a breakthrough in stopping it... because the older she got the more powerful her skill became. In a world where she is the only one like this, she remains isolated and alone with no way of stopping her tragic future. Dana is stuck in an endless loop of trying to go unnoticed in her highschool while just trying to die peacefully. That is, until she meets someone who's mind she can't read. *Completed*
