Alyson couldn't help but worry about the future. Working out simple problems was a pass time. Over thinking was a given, making friends wasn't a necessity. She would eventually graduate and work out what she'd do with her future. But nothing was more intriguing then what happened the next week.
          One night later, James Cameron is found dead, leaned against the willow tree in her front yard. When all evidence is found and no suspects arise, Alyson steps in. Willing to accept whatever truth humanity has waiting, she starts researching and finds a means to an end. But at what cost?
             "I studied my yard. Every dark silhouette, every star in the night sky. I wondered what would've happened if I had gone outside or if I left the lights on. None of this helps, but I couldn't help but think, could I have prevented the death of James Cameron?"All Rights Reserved

His hands pressed into the couch on either side of my head and I could smell the mint of the gum he was chewing as he stared intently at my face. "What are you doing?" I breathed out. "You seemed to want some attention, so I'm giving it to you." - On the run since she was ten, Charlotte "Cher" Woods dreams of nothing but escaping her nightmares.

G&T Based by SmarticleParticle

Meet Kyle and Kate, two 15 year old students who have a gift for thinking fast, quick, and smart. Oh, and meet the other 18 kids in their class. Some call them genius, some call them annoying.

It seemed obvious who did it, but as the murderer wrote her confession, a completely different murder occurs across town. Shocked, the police rush over to gather the evidence and clues, but before they even assemble their evidence, the police are led to another death. One by one, deaths occur around town, faster than the police can count. There's not much in common with all of the murders, only the fact that all of the victims come from one class. In the course on one year, the class of 18 shrinks drastically. PART 2 As summer vacation begins, the remains of the class split. Five students tell their stories of meeting new people, near death experiences, and funny incidences. PART 3 More than what meets the eye happened in the course of the summer.
