Eliza Hoffman is a genius. Literally. She won the national spelling bee at 3 years old. 6 years old, her iq was 173. She was happy. She was loved. Or so she thought.
Then she was alone. Rejected. Abandoned. Her parents took all the money she had won from contests and ran off to who knows where and left their only child to an uncertain fate in foster care.
For 8 years, she has been shuffled around dozens of households that care about her as much as they would care about an infestation of pests in their homes. Which is what she is to them. A pest. And the now 14-year-old Eliza is sick of it.
But she has a chance. The Darcey family. The one family that cares about her has lifted her burden. She is wanted. She is loved. She once again has a family that genuinely cares about her.
But she can't be protected forever. She cannot be protected her from the pain of her past and the horrors in her future. Will she ever be able to find happiness? When will the universe stop hating her?

Lost

If I really didn't exist, I don't think anyone would care. I'm all alone in this great big world, I'm lost. Maddie has never been good enough for anyone. Her perfect sister, Megan, always manages to outshine her. Her father never pays attention to her, because he's always worried about Megan. Every Tuesday and Thursday, Maddie goes to group therapy, where she shares her feelings. Every week it's the same thing, until Maddie gets a new lab partner: Zach Williams, every girl's dream date.

Contraindication
[WATTYS 2022 SHORTLIST] "Hello again, Pizza Boy?" I glanced up at him with a smile. The blood was rushing out my head but it didn't bother me. "Are you back to make another attempt on my life?" "Shut up," he fumbled, absolutely petrified. "I-I hate you!" I laughed as we were both red in the face; one more sticky then the other, "Aww, I hate you too." My hands held my non-beating chest. "It's mutual trust me. But I guess you really want your Xbox back huh?" -- 17 year-old Evelyn Gates has a quiet yet witty personality. She usually stays in the background and is mediocre at literally everything... just ask anyone. She enjoys the smell of pizza and watching Guy Fieri stuff his face with food in her free time. Oh, and there's one more thing... she's immortal. That's right, Evelyn can't die, and she doesn't know why. Her body just magically puts itself back together again after tragic incidents. She calls it a curse, but the one other person who knows about it calls it a miracle. It's not until her pizza order turns deadly and her mom's boyfriend changes his outlook on life, when Evelyn finds out that there might be some more people involved with her immortality; people who are puppeteering her life and will stop at nothing but to destroy her. - Featured on: @TeenFiction 'FunnyBones' reading list: October 6th, 2021 @StoriesUndiscovered 'The Power of Laughter' reading list: June 1st -30th, 2021 -- Since mock websites are becoming more common, unfortunately, I have to give the disclaimer that this story is only being published on Wattpad.
