“Okay. How old is she?”
“Eighteen.”
“So she is in college. That’s good because I like---”
“She is in high school.”
“So I am going to pose as a teacher. That’s good I will be a figure of authority.”
“No. You will be a high school student.”
As the saying goes, ‘the air was knocked out of my lungs’. If I were still alive I would be hyperventilating right about now.
“High school student, me? John, I already went through high school. I even went to college. Going back to high school as a student, not a teacher, seems kind of like a joke. A very cruel joke.”
“Eliza! Shut up. You will go as a student. Why? You look like a teenager; you can’t pass off as a teacher.”

Author's Note:
This is story is about Eliza Rose, who has changed her las name to Rosenthal. She is dead, kind of. She has been a grim reaper for two years. She is sent to Falla Falla, Washington to investigate Claire Lee. She is eventually involved Claire's web-like life.
"How can a girl's life be so complicated?" -- Eliza Rosenthal
I know the summary doesn't give any hints as to what the story is about. Trust me, as the person you never met, when I say that the story is decent. It is not absolutely horrible nor exceptionally special. I had to make up a city because I can't name a real city and then give 100% inaccurate descriptions. This story is my version of a satire. Unfortunately, to those that hate vampires and werewolves, this story includes supernatural creatures. Super cliche, but with a twist, or at least my version of a twist.
I am not planning on becoming super popular here; I just want to become a better writer and with that being said I would like it very much if everyone that read this story leave a comment.

Atlantis Academy: The First Element
Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?Complete
Jack: Book One in the Trilogy, the Battle Begins
In Book 1, Jack conspires with friend Jeremy to undermine their racist, secessionist teacher's efforts to poison his students' minds with his benefits-of-slavery lectures. Will the students buy into it? Not if Jack has any say. The book is dedicated to my brother and to my old friend, Jack, the latter who, at 19, was killed speeding in his too-fast car, alone, in 1971. We met when I was a first grader at a Groton, Massachusetts parochial school. Jack was in second grade, I was in the first grade. One day Jack began teasing on the bus ride home so we got off at his bus stop to fight. I was little - he much bigger. He pinned me to the ground, forced me to quit. That kicked off our friendship that lasted years. Jack was a pitcher on the high school baseball team. He was so fast - somewhat wild. I was afraid to bat against him. He tried out for a professional farm team but didn't make it. He worked in the local factory and had no real career designs other than in sports which were the center of his life. Not long after his failed attempt(s) at major league baseball, he smashed into a tree at high speed on a quiet road early one morning. Jack had a 'hero complex' - needing to be the center of attention. He excelled at sports but wasn't interested in academics. He bet everything on his sports abilities that wowed neighborhood friends growing up. This story also is dedicated to both Jack and my brother, Paul, a friend of Jack's. Paul passed in January, 2016. I finally started Jack's story in 2000 when I began teaching in New York City. It dawned on me one day to transport Jack as a composite character - i.e., a character who has qualities and characteristics that Jack had but who also possessed ones he didn't have - into 1860's America. In the book, Jack becomes the hero - a status that mostly evaded him in real life. I think he would have been proud of the story. Many events are entirely fictional - some are not. All characters are fictional or partially so.Complete

When the Moon Goddess created the first vampires of their kind, she was happy. She was soon saddened after she saw the destruction they had caused to the creation of her brother's. Before she went and took her place in the Heavens, she created her last child. She left her in the care of one of her first children, Geraltine. A baby who was neither a Vampire nor a Human. Carved with beauty that exceeded Aphrodite herself. A voice that was far more melodious than Apollo and his Muses. Filled with a heart of gold. Oblivious of the dangers of the world. Gifted with the ability to heal and manipulate nature. But beneath all the innocence was the power to destroy all of the Supernatural Race. Power to control and rule the entire Kosmos. But she needs a trigger to unleash her all her strength. Not one but three triggers. _______ !WARNING! This story is unedited with a cliché plot that I already deviated to a more cliché plot. Read it at your own risk. I implore that you not dawdle on my writing so much (if you really are that insane and have decided to read it anyway), it has changed so much in nearly a year. If you are an impressionable reader and/or future writer in the making, read well-written works of art. There are so many out there. This isn't one of them.Complete
Children of The Fallen
"I didn't think that the first night at my new college would end with me getting my back broken. And not in the fun way. I'm kind of annoyed about it. Not how I wanted to kick this year off. I got into my dream school, University of Miami. Big change from New York but I've loved this school since I found out what college was. I was looking forward to this for a while. I had decided to spend my first two years at a nearby community college to get my pre rec classes out of the way and save money. It was definitely a good idea, but the vibe of the school was: go to class, go home, and that's it. So to get to a big university I was excited for that cliche "college experience." I was excited to get shitfaced at a frat party, hookup with random guys, join a sorority and probably regret it. It's where you're gonna make the most mistakes, I mean it's the first time most people have complete, or almost complete freedom. Every adult ever always told me "college is where you're supposed to find yourself" and I was really hoping that would reign true. To kick the year off I wanted to have a fun night out with my new roommates who weirdly didn't have any social media so I was moving in with no prior knowledge of these two other than their names Victoria Brooks and Chloe Whitlock. I wanted to get to know them and get to know the area I'd be living in for the next two years. So it was pretty inconvenient for this shit to happen on the first fucking night." * * * * * Morgan Sinclair had expectations for her junior year at her new college: parties, roommates, clubs, friends, even classes and assignments. Among those expectations, was not: finding out about the existence of vampires and the fact that she is one. After one *almost* fatal night out she's forced to navigate a whole new reality. Vampires, lycans, a psychopathic father, betrayal, and blood- and it'll all take her away from everything and everyone she's ever known.Complete![Clemont x Reader [OLD]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/34428726-256-k724925.jpg)
Clemont x Reader [OLD]
A/N: I really hate this 2K writing limit. I copy and paste my stories from Word so It's kind of annoying. -Your P.O.V- "Clemont? What are you doing here, I thought you were absent because you weren't at class...." You asked the nerdy kid. "I've been working on my latest experiment." He mumbled. "Eh?" You teased, holding your hand up to your ear as a gesture for him to 'speak up.' "I said I'm WORKING ON MY LATEST EXPERIMENT." He said, but louder. "MISSSS!!!" You fake whined. "CLEMONT SHOUTED AT MEEEEE!!!!" Suddenly the supervisor came running up to you and Clemont, she sighed and shook her head. "Clemont, that's some very dangerous chemicals you're working on! If your experimenting, then please work in the science lab, but you'll need permission from your teacher. But shouting at (y/n)? Your not like that. But (y/n)'s likely to provoke people like this..." You rolled your eyes. The supervisor was startled and walked off. You swivelled back to Clemont, who was looking at you rather strangely. You shrugged your shoulders at him, and walked off like you didn't care. -Clemont's P.O.V- I looked up at the clouds, still drowsy from working with hypno chemicals. I was waiting outside for my younger sister, Bonnie to walk out the door, scream out my name and give me a giant hug. If I didn't have a younger sister, I would have been consumed by my depression.... perhaps..... maybe.... I've got to admit...I've got a huge crush on (y/n)...ever since I transferred. I always turn away and hide my flushed cheeks and sweating hands and shaking knees and...yeah... I wish I could be popular for her... but I'm not. I've asked Bonnie for advice as well...she says I should admit my feelings and she'll say her catchphrase tomorrow. To be honest...I don't want her to, she'll just laugh at me and Bonnie and my life will be ruined.Complete
Spy School: Was It All A Dream?
"I sighed and put my head in my hands. I told her everything. I told her everything about my dream. I told her about how we had kissed there. I told her about how we had defeated SPYDER. I told her how I woke up. I told her about my fear of waking up and my parents not knowing what I was talking about. I entailed my terror of seeing people who had died in the dream. I told her about my shock of seeing her in my classroom, and her not knowing me. The heartbreak of seeing her with Joshua because I knew it wouldn't end well and I was still in love with her. The feeling of foreboding. The moles. The sacrifices. Death. Everything I thought I had experienced. I continued up until this point. I told her about Experiment Aucipis. I told her that I was in danger of the syndicate finding out and coming to kill me. I couldn't let anyone get near me unless they could protect themselves." (Chapter 22) Ben has the life he always dreamed of: being a spy. He's finally defeated an evil organization called Spyder. The spy life may not be as cool as he originally thought it would be, but he's dating his crush, Erica Hale, has amazing best friends, and is about to become a spy. And then, he doesn't... Ben wakes up in a hospital bed in age 17. He learns that he's been in a coma for 5 years, ever since he was twelve, and his whole life has been a dream. Worst of all, Erica isn't real... Or is she?

Persephone Incarnate [Wattpad Prize 2014] | ✔️
[COMPLETED - ONLY MINORLY EDITED] ******************************************************** Greek myths - true or false? They should be false, and to 16-year-old Sophie Claire, it's never crossed her mind that they aren't. Until one day in History class when her teacher spends a day on Greek mythology and something strange starts happening - her friends and classmates begin to tell myths about certain Greek deities with frightening precision. And for some reason, she's began to feel a certain affinity for Persephone, the Greek maiden who was kidnapped by Hades, the Lord of the Underworld, and forced into a marriage with him. This isn't some coincidence or freak dream, she later finds out from a host of strange individuals who claim they're from Olympus, the grandoise home of the gods themselves. She is actually a modern reincarnation of the goddess Persephone, and she's not the only one. A few of her classmates also happen to represent the gods and goddesses from popular Greek myths, and the fact that all of them are present means that something monumental is about to happen. Something like being the girl to change Persephone's future, to break the cycle of kidnapper and victim - all by passing a trial. It won't be simple, she knows, and she's not quite that eager to take it up, but from the moment she found out that she was Persephone, there was no way to back out. She should've known, however, that dealing with all powerful, immortal deities wasn't going to be easy. They've got a few secrets and personality flaws up their sleeves, and they could be deadly. More than deadly - murderous.Complete

He's supposed to be here to protect me, because if the got me... blood smears the pages of the passed. "Sapphire!" I hear him call. "Coal!"

The only safe place anymore is pressed against him under the sheets. "Coal!" I call out again. ---I can hear her. She's here somewhere I know it. I can smell her sent threw the thick of the woods.

Living My Life as a Lambert (Book 1)
So I found a story like this online and was inspired to make a story like it but it's completely different so hope ya'll like! (CURRENTLY EDITING THIS STORY, ESPECIALLY CHANGING SOME OF THE CHARACTERS, THE STORYLINE AND THEIR NAMES SINCE ITS CRINGY AND I WAS REALLY YOUNG WHEN I WROTE THIS! NEVER MIND, THIS ENTIRE STORY IS CRINGE FACTOR! WHY DID Y'ALL LIKE THIS STORY SO MUCH?! THE STORY'S GOTTA CHANGE!) Also too, as part of re-editing everything (and I mean EVERYTHING), I'm gonna switch up the POV because I feel like everything would make more sense if I wrote it in Third Person since most of the chapters have a TP feel to them. And they need a revamp VERY. BADLY. I seriously don't know what I was thinking and deleted some of the chapters because I did not want that up here and I wanted a clean conscious. That's also why some of the comments won't make sense because I wrote this story very differently to how I'm writing it now. I'm not back 100% but I have to rewrite this story because of how atrocious and weird it has become. I changed the characters ages to 18 or older since that was one of the biggest problems with the original story and I know if some of you come back to read this as to why I'm rewriting this book instead of creating a new one is because I don't want to and it's already there. It's nothing entirely new. It's still the same book with the same characters, the plotline is gonna be a lil different. That's all.Complete
