If high school is supposed to be the best years of our lives, why is the majority of the high school student population so eager to leave the place? That was a rhetorical question, but I personally have an answer- it's because, like many other places on earth, high school is a prison. In fact, earth itself is a prison. We all work our asses off until we get to the next level of success, and once we get there, we have to start over and work our asses off even more until we get to the next level. Like prison, everyone is in a competition to get to the position of being top dog. I really don't give a shit though; my high school is filled with a bunch of jockish immature assholes. I could care less what they think about me. All I'm trying to do is work my ass off to get an art scholarship to get the hell out of this Oregon Pacific Coast piece of shit town. I have such high hopes for my future and absolutely none of it involves staying in Astoria. Yeah, I've gotten letters from colleges, but I'm waiting until I get one from the Chicago Art Institute. I have four months until graduation and like every other high school senior, I'm ready to get the hell out of here.

Games We Play
Victore Academy boarding school is a lot of things. To the outside world, it's the heaven of schools. For some students, it's an experience they'll never forget. For others, it's the place to start their careers. And maybe for a few, it's the peak of their lives and really as good as it's going to get for them. And for me... well, I'll need a bit more than this to talk about that. But before you step in, here's a few things that everyone makes note of: 1. The students have secrets. And money. It's hard to tell what more of, honestly. 2. Don't get a room on the West Side of the girl's dorms. The birds around that private property lake house downside from campus don't stop chirping at 5AM. It's unpleasant, to say the least. 3. Avoid Mr. Labadee's classroom at all costs outside of lessons, especially past fifth period. It's better off if you're left in the dark with this one. 4. That asshole from Spain that terrorizes all the young freshmen is not hot. However, girls do make note of the fact that he works out post seventh period and right before first, near the track field. 5. The Victor's Tournament happens every year for all the senior year students. It's a pretty big deal. 6. And I think Armin Rivers is probably going to kill someone before he wins it (and it's probably gonna be that Spanish asshole). cover by soundthealarmComplete

This Place (boyxboy)
I'm just lying here in stillness and darkness wondering why. Why did this have to happen to my mom? We have nothing we can't even afford a house. Here I am a 14 year old boy that lives in a shelter home. Mom says one day we'll get out. But I've lost all hope. And I know my mom has no hope either. If she did I wouldn't have to hear her cry herself to sleep at night. I hate seeing her in so much pain. I wish, I could get a job. Maybe since I'm younger and a boy they'll hire me. Who am I kidding? My mom's in her 30's she's not old either. Sometimes the idiots that run this place kick my mom out for the night because she's making too much noise after hours. My mom was crying; is that too hard to understand? I hate this place. Well, tomorrow's our first day apart since summer started. They're forcing me to go to high school. I'm okay with school but I don't want to leave my mom alone in this world. Well, I guess there's a better chance of me getting a job if I'm in high school. You know there's one thing I remember my mom telling me when I was young. "Never frown; you never know who's falling in love with your smile." Words to live by. Let's hope they help me tomorrow.Complete

In love with a Hitman (Hitman Series Pt. 2)
This is the second book in the Hitman series, it can be read as a standalone but you'll understand characters a bit better if you read 'Falling for a Hitman' first. Get hooked on the fast paced, heart racing action, and fall for the romance. The second I heard her say my name I knew I was in too deep. I knew I'd do everything in my power to protect her. When her ex came to town I made sure to do just that. When she finished her shower that first night in my home, I fell for her. Never in a million years did I think love at first sight existed but dammit was I wrong. I have nightmares, I ran far to get away from my ex. I never thought he would find me after I changed my name and moved 1500 miles away from my hometown. When he whispered in my ear I thought I was going to die right there in the middle of the dance floor. Luckily I had big strong tattooed arms to fall into, and I never wanted to leave that embrace. We knew nothing about the other. The deceit, the lies we've told, the demons we have both left behind. Not to mention the doubt and everything that could ruin whatever future we could possibly have. She's worth it. He's worth it.Complete

Big City Seduction
An A-List actress, that was all I wanted to be. I spent five years in the foster care system, four years of high school, and another three years at acting college before buying a bus ticket to LA. I left my old life behind without a second glance and thought it would be easy. But between a boyfriend that shows no appreciation for me, a best-friend finding her own romance, and the constant hours of auditioning with nothing to show for it, I can't help but question if I've made the right choice regarding a career. I have talent, I know I do, but without a chance I can't prove it! A company is searching for new candidates, and I fit the description perfectly. It means leaving LA and giving up everything I've fought hard for. But it might just be the thing I need. Will I get my chance and find what I've been looking for in LA, or give up everything I've worked towards and finally decide it's time for a change?Complete
