When Matt Andrews is forced to move to Cawker City, Kansas, from his hometown of the Big Apple, he is shocked. No, not shocked - horrified. Although he knows it's his fault they are moving, Matt just can't help but feel mad at his parents for the move. So he decides to somehow convince them to move back.
Matt, who tries to be antisocial at his new school (which was dedicated to bat poop), is grudgingly befriended by two kids who just didn't know when to quit: talkative, bubbly Linnie and quiet, quick-witted Felix. Matt tries to stay alienated from his new 'friends,' but ends up needing them to help him fix a strange problem - creepy notes in his locker of whom the writer seems to have stalkerish, psychic powers. The trio begin to investigate the notes, with Jackson, an old friend of Matt's from New York, joining them. The mystery takes the four kids on a crazy, impossible journey that leads them to an ancient evolution, a bitter betrayal, and a big, fat war.
When the entirety of Earth is threatened with something it doesn't even remember, how can four kids save it?

Subhumans: The Beginning
In one year, one million people across New Jersey die--and no one knows why. At the same time, thousands of people develop supernatural abilities and no one knows why--not even these new "subhumans". Some can fly, some can read minds, and some can bend steel with their bare hands. Kat Jamison wakes up one day with her right hand turned to steel and the ability to morph it into anything she thinks of, from keys to knives. While the power is fascinating, having been abused by every person she's been with, the metal hand makes her feel like another object to be used. Several blocks away from Kat, Kyle Mills and Beth Ryder, high school sophomores, discover that they can run faster than the speed of sound and struggle to keep their powers a secret. Thinking these new subhumans are terrorists, the military hunts and guns them down. One subhuman named Eli Hunter rescues Kat from a group of trained killers then leads her on the run. They escape into Manhattan with Kyle, Beth, and other subhuman refugees where they think they'll be safe. While there, they discover a genetics lab that has been leaking GMO's to the public that may be linked to their powers and make plans on breaking in to find answers. But Kat has learned to never trust anyone and is convinced she can protect herself while the rest of the world is falling apart. Kyle wants revenge on the ones killing them, Eli wants to know where his powers have come from, and Kat only wants to be normal again. With soldiers after them and mad scientists waiting for them inside the lab, they may not make it through this alive, let alone find the answers they're looking for.

Badboy & The Troublemaker
This was one of the first stories I wrote, read at your own risk :') "Oh don't act so innocent. I know you did this" I snap at him. "Yea so? You got me suspended for a week, so what if your dad's pissed at you?" he says shrugging. "I hope you fucking know that this means war" I say pulling him up by his collar. ●○●○●○ Ash Harper is not your average Malibu barbie, with fake tans and Gucci purses. Or with the pink convertible. She's the badass troublemaker, with a hot motorcycle, sexy leather jacket, a troubled past, and a mysterious aura. Leaving everything she's ever known behind, Ash moves to LA with her Dad, where she meets Austin Aimes, who is a conceited, egotistic asshole, or at least to Ash he is. What happens when their worlds collide? Sparks fly as a certain boy threatens to break the walls Ash has built high. Secrets are revealed, hearts are broken, love triangles are formed, and of course where Ash goes, trouble follows. A story of Hate-at-first sight. --Completed August 4th, 2014--Complete
