People aren't who they seem. Not the bad ones, the good ones, or even the "normal" ones. Everyone has a past and a secret, but it is only a matter of time before everything is revealed.
Ninth grade. The beginning of first impressions. Mabel Jennings has started on a rocky road; her friends from middle school are slowly drifting away from her, her enemies worsen their bullying, her sister gives her no chance to be happy, and a deadly secret is lurking through the neighbourhood, oblivious to everyone's eyes. But not to Mabel. She wants to know the truth, but at the same time is terrified of the outcome. As she tries to piece together clues that are hidden just beneath the surface, she also has to deal with her mother's crazy past, her best friend's sudden disappearance, and the wealthy people in her neighborhood who are harboring lies and secrets that could impact Mabel's future forever. How is she supposed to survive high school if her first year is already corrupted?

This is a #TeenFictionAnotherYearShortStory entry. --- Believe me, when adulting takes place, you forget your naïve little side instantly and are ready to fit yourself in the big boots. But let's say, it's too soon for Olivia Dee. For her, graduation was a ceremony, a consummation of all the misery and guilt she had had to bear, of which none whispered-and she finally had the chance to leave it all behind.

Sadly, this is not her decision to make. A day after her graduation, she wakes up to face her senior year again. She knows that she had completed her education, she spends hours yelling about it on everyone's face.

They used to be best friends, too, until he got into high school and became a version of himself she didn't even recognize. Everyone said he was a shoo-in for the NFL, and he let it get to his head. Right before high school started, he worked out until he was built like a sculpture, he got rid of his braces, and suddenly the girls fell at his feet. But that was fine because her middle school crush faded. And besides, even if she did think he was hot, Cameron wasn't someone she could go for even if she wanted to.
