Music. Dance. Theater. Art. Film making.
All this can be found at the Hawking School of Arts, where each student fights to be the best and rise to the top. Whatever it takes to do that, the students of Hawking have no problem doing it. And just when it seems it can't get any more competitive, the Next Big Thing Competition is announced.
Filled with talent agents and famous directors, actors, music producers, and so many more people who could help these students become famous, everyone is fighting to win. However, as they'll find, it's not as easy as it seems. That is, until a film student by the name of Jay Lucas comes up with an idea that he's sure will win, and jump start his career as a famous director.
Jay decides to film what it's like at Hawking, pulling back all the layers of the students at the school who are competing in the competition, as well as demolishing the idea that an arts school is as glamorous as it seems on TV. But with so many others that are just as talented and even more talented than Jay, does he have what it takes to be the next big thing?
Do any of them?

The Arts
Another school year has begun, which means The Arts: Academy for Creative Performance and Design has a new freshman class. A typical class roster includes kids from all over the state, but a stunning number of new students know each other from the same hometown. There's Andi, the shy songwriter who would give anything for her favorite band to use her work; Kiara, a talented artist from a broken home; Robbie, Tyler, and Matt - former band mates turned bitter enemies; and Ivan, an aspiring filmmaker with a penchant for crude humor. Seriously, how did one small town manage to produce this many artistically gifted teenagers? That's anybody's guess. But what we do know is this: these freshmen have just begun the ride of their lives, and for better or for worse, they're all in it together. Awkward crushes, old (and new) drama, and creative assignments abound, this isn't just high school; this is The Arts.Complete

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

Half of My Heart ✔️
how far would you go . . . for someone you love? ♔ Levi steps forward, placing himself between me and Jack. Like he's protecting me from him. But I don't need protecting, certainly not from Jack. "Who do you think you are, dude?" Levi spits, getting in Jack's face. "Look, Scarlett was just helping me out with a proj-" "I'm not your dude," Jack bites, and I want to tear my hair out of my head. This is going downhill very fast. Jack turns to me. "Scar, we need to talk," he says lowly. Then loud enough for Levi to hear, "So can you please get this kid to leave." "Hey, you don't get to come in here and start ordering her around," Levi says harshly. "You don't control her." "And you think that you do?" Jack spits. ♔ When Scarlett moved off to college, she hoped to start anew and find her way in this world alone. Two problems. One: her older brother goes to the same college, and it seems like he's everywhere, keeping her from doing everything she hoped to do as a college freshman. Two: her brother's devastatingly handsome best friend also seems hell-bent on ruining her college experience . . . but in a different way.

Empire Burlesque
[Featured by Wattpad on @NA & @StoriesUndiscovered] _____ Olivia, Caleb, Justin, Sam, and Wren are five best friends seeking one thing: opportunity. For these twenty-something university students, Empire Burlesque represents freedom. An escape from their summer jobs, mundane lives, and overbearing parents.

However, they craved more. Wren searched for love. Justin craved spontaneity. Olivia sought a second chance. Caleb wanted an opportunity at fame. Sam desired the freedom of self-expression. As the skin-hugging heat of summer rolls into the twinkly metropolis, so does a life-changing opportunity: a highly-publicized national music festival organized by one of the premier music labels in the country. A spot in that festival would kick-start a long and lucrative career for any ambitious, young artist. From the heart of a dark, smoky lounge, EMPIRE BURLESQUE describes the journey of five best friends determined to realize their Rockstar dreams, no matter the casualties and despite jealous competition or old friends with hidden agendas. _____ (#1 MusicFestivals. 2021 Punk Rock Awards Winner, Best Supporting Character.)Complete
