Lost in the waves
Do we truly know those we consider as our family? This is the last year before the beginning of the rest of Cara and Mia lives! Mia Carter still has one more year to spend on Angel Island before leaving, with her best friend, for Montreal to pursue their dream careers. The only problem is that she has to hold on without murdering her nemesis: Austin Coopler. At least, that's what she thought before Cara suddenly vanishes on the evening of the first day of school. No news, no leads, and even stranger, neither the police nor her family seem to care. But Mia is convinced that this disappearance is not a simple runaway case. Caught up in an investigation that goes beyond a mere disappearance, she has no choice but to cooperate with her archenemy and a group of friends who have known each other since childhood. TW - sensitive topics This story contains a lot of references to addiction (alcohol and drugs), and as the chapters progress, they will become more serious. Furthermore, the main character (Mia) suffers from diagnosed chronic anxiety, which I have portrayed to the best of my own experience. All characters, places, and events are fictional (products of my imagination only).

Robbie Blue hates clichés. And what could be more cliché than transferring to a completely new school in the middle of your senior year? Well, how about transferring to a cotton-candy-colored private school, filled with rich kids who live in mansions and drive sports cars with private chauffeurs? -🪷- Sunny Palm Coast wasn't exactly where 18-year-old Robbie had imagined to spend his final months of high school. A brand new student at Harmony Heart Academy even less. Yet there he was, thrown into the deep end with not a single clue on how to survive this chaos. Amidst all of the unknown, one thing was crystal clear; Robbie would do anything to stay away from clichés. However, this proves to be harder than he had anticipated when he meets the school's self-proclaimed troublemaker, and everything Robbie thought he was certain of now seems as unclear as ever.

I want to know how to make you feel good," I whisper. I lean into his hand as he gently strokes the pad of his thumb against the curve of my cheekbone. He tucks the loose strands of my hair back behind my ear and then sinks his teeth into his bottom lip. "Good girl, Blossom.
