[BEING REVISED/COMPLETED] REVISED 16TH EDITION: A comprehensive recollection of all the things hazardous in the Phlegmatic and Neurotic Sapphire Mazes life, currently:

1) An unending loathing of all teenage-kind, despite being one herself.
2) The irresponsible but often (questionably) well-meaning older sister.
3 )A persnickety mother with almost functionable obsessive compulsive disorder.
4) The ghost of Frank Sinatra is actually haunting her. No joke. And he won't stop playing his own songs.
5) Her family's penchant for death.
6) A bad personal history with mental illness (re: neurotic).  
7) Words that she cannot say and fears she cannot express. 

And yet, as if these things aren't harming enough, life forgos the lemons and throws watermelons by letting her come into acquaintance with the tactlessly sarcastic Tristan Mitchell; a boy of which who brings along with over-the-top gingers and eight-year-old philosophers that all put roadblocks in Sapphire's self-inflicted solitude, forcing her to feel a lot more feelings than she's comfortable with.

(Featuring but not limited to: the ghost of Frank Sinatra, fajitas, dead people, demon claws, fiends, the ghost of Frank Sinatra, some lesbians, more than one redhead, a white person(s), Jesus Christ, fourth-wall breaks, an [annoyingly] conscious narrator, the ghost of Frank Sinatra, and more!)

It was like we were playing a sick game of chess, trying to guess each others movement's and at the same time, worrying about our own. I didn't have a choice and was forced to say "Game on bitch." -------------------------------- Life for Juniper was never easy, even as a child. Her family was complicated, and she herself has always suffered from mental illneses that made her days hard enough as it was, not just for her but for her drug addict skitzophrenic father and bipolar alcoholic mother. As she kept growing up, the world around her became darker and darker until, at the age of sixteen, a man with a dark shadow and distorted, spine chilling voice infiltrated her nightmares, with the promise to bring her agony and pain if she did not do as he said. Now, Juniper is forced to act fast, for her life hangs by a thread. She must uncover the truth of her past, look past the lies of her parents and her own childhood, and fill in the blanks whilst dealing with loud voices in her head, shadows that follow her every move, and a man who she must obey in order to save her sanity, her life and herself. The question still remains, who is this strange man who threatens her very existence? Will she be able to stop him before he kills her, before he traps her in the darkness forever? Will she whistand the torture, will she handle it all? Or will she snap, will she bend and break like her father did, and his father before him? Because, after all, we are all fragile humans, there is only so much we can take. -------------------------------- * Contains swearing, may be triggering and is undergoing mayor editing . * Best Ranking: #1- Skitsofrenia #2- Alluring

"That's enough out of you." Frank drew his hands along the tops of her thighs. Her flawless skin was soft and contradicting under his rough palms. That short pink skirt was high and snugged around her upper thigh. If he shoved it up, he could see those expensive panties she wore. When he moved his gaze up, finally settling to her eyes. "You maybe rich, princess but to me you are just a little spoilt brat." Those hazel eyes burned with rebellion. "And you are a dirty poor man." Her words maybe spiteful but her tone was breathy. Like silver drops of crystals dangling in the chandelier except it came tumbling down and crushing him underneath. Snickering, he sneered his next words. "That's where you are wrong, princess. I'm only a man." _ Venus Williams is a high society sophisticated student of Burbington High School. She has never felt the strapping needs of struggle and never endured pain. That also means she never felt love and pleasure either. Becoming student President was her only accomplishment and she was determined to do her best. Politics and manipulation was her usual playbook but getting caught in difficult tight places and sneered upon by the school's janitor was not. Frank Harris always had a hard life. He didn't trust in good things because of their shortened longevity. Hence, the best he does is to never hope. Although, Frank keeps catching the sexy brat in compromising positions and all they ever do is bicker, degrade and keep circling around each other. How long will they keep circling?

Formerly known as "The Heartthrob Won't Leave Me Alone!" - "God Blake, you're a true enigma" Her eyes widened slightly at his words. "I don't understand" she claimed, backing up a step from him, which he had clearly noticed. And to her shock, he took a step forward, blocking the gap she had just created. "You seriously don't see what I was trying to do up there?!" he asked, almost in disbelief. "Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting to do that?!" she couldn't believe how loud he was suddenly. She had always known Lucian as a calm person with a soft, almost brooding voice that he never raised. Now it almost sounded excited, it was interesting seeing a new side of Lucian Black. - Something is happening at Cross Climb High-school Although it seems fairly normal, students going amongst their days unbeknownst to who they travel life beside.

In her new school, she deals with not only her constant daily struggle to maintain normalcy, but also somehow becoming the director of the school play. Add a crush on the school's bad boy, Zac, who seems more interested in Stella, Blake's promiscuous best friend and also contending with another one of the school's popular boys, Lucian, chasing her constantly despite firmly keeping up her barriers.

But, brewing nearby is a rage so intense that it's about to bubble over, and when strange things start happening around her, Blake can't help but fear the worst events will unfold and hope that it won't take the lives of those she loves along with her own.
