If you see this on any other website other than wattpad then it is unauthorized. Especially teenfic.net This story is based on true events. Some things have been changed to protect identities. In Neon Teens and Funky Beats, readers will relive the experience of the iconic sounds and adventures of the 80s, where 13-year-old girls ruled the neighborhoods and their lives vibrated to the beat of freestyle music. This story is told through the lens of a Gen X woman from NJ going down memory lane of the nostalgic life of the 80s. The story begins with the background of her and her sister and traveling to the south with their father during spring break.

Sani and her sister Tammy and friends were a tight-knit crew of fearless teen girls who saw MTV for the first time. They had the days of Michael Jackson's Thriller and a treasure trove of roller-skating, whispering secrets, slumber parties, and sneaking out at night. On one fateful night of tiptoeing out of the house with the thrill of rebelling, this supposedly harmless dare quickly turns into a narrow escape from danger. This moment shattered their innocence and taught Sani how fragile life can be and how precious their young freedom truly was.

You get the date at 15. The time at 16. The coordinates at 17. Some people chase their soulmarks. Some run from them. Jinley is resisting fate. Madison is clinging to it. Noah is tired of being seen but not known. Todd never thought he'd be seen at all. Four teenagers. One system. And a collision that was never part of the plan. Author's Note: I first posted Soulmarks in 2020 as a kind of writing experiment. It was messy, multi-POV, unfinished, and very much a product of that chaotic time-but it still reached a few readers (somehow placed 14th in an award, what?). This is the revived version. Streamlined. Rewritten. Finished. Less head-hopping. More heartbreak. Welcome to Soulmarks: Revived -Mallory 💫

#272 in teen fiction {june 26 '16} ×× Protagonist - Eva Antagonist - Life as we know it ∆ It was a hour long drive from the airport to our new house. I always found car rides really horribly boring and unbearable. The constant honking,the bumps on the road, the whirr of the engine - it's the absolute recipe for 'Not Being Able To Sleep.' And that my friends is the major reason behind why I despise car rides - because I don't get to sleep. No matter how hard I try, no matter how I position my back or body or arms, no matter how sleepy or tired I am, no matter how soothing the music is - I'm never able to sleep during car rides. Also - claustrophobia. And a closed moving vehicle that makes me feel uneasy and trapped is a nightmare at the least. Add to that, it being midnight when our plane landed, meaning I had to spend the peak of my sleeping hours awake (in the moving thing) and you get an overly annoyed and cranky Eva. ∆ #346 in teen fiction {June 25 2016} © 2016
