    Lilith Johnson-to the world, she is perfect. An A+ student, cheer captain of her high school, and born into wealth, she is the girl everyone wants to be. But beneath the flawless façade, she is drowning. Struggling with an eating disorder she refuses to acknowledge, she hides her pain behind a mask of perfection. No one sees the cracks. No one suspects a thing. Then there's Zain Tucker-her brother Eli's best friend. Once, Zain and Lilith were inseparable, but everything changed after one fateful incident. He began to hate her, and in turn, the friendship between her and Eli crumbled. As Eli rebelled against their parents' expectations, Lilith remained the golden child, only widening the gap between them. Zain despised her for it. His parents never stopped comparing him to her, always saying, Be more like Lilith. And so, he did the only thing he could-he resented her with everything he had. But what happens when he realizes she's not as perfect as he always believed? And what happens when Lilith can no longer keep up the act?

    FREE STORY WITH EXCLUSIVE CONTENT. This is *not* a Paid Story. Eighteen-year-old hockey prodigy Elliot Wexler has three goals for senior year. One: somehow graduate with a 3.5 GPA.

What he doesn't expect is to find Lucy, a homeless girl, hiding from the winter frost in his dad's shed. Elliot's busy, complicated life doesn't permit room for error, and falling in love with a girl from a totally different world sounds like the opposite of a good idea. But Elliot can't help but be drawn to Lucy and her elusive ways--even when she seems to vanish from his life non-stop, each time leaving him with a bigger hole in his heart. But Elliot is determined to break down Lucy's barriers. And when he does, he discovers that her life is more complicated--and dangerous--than he could have imagined. With drafting season approaching, and Elliot's fragile mental health deteriorating, he's forced to face a difficult question: Is first love supposed to hurt so much? *** PLEASE DO NOT ADD THIS STORY TO GOODREADS.

    "The most powerful move in a game you can't win is to stop playing." We live in a world where our worth is measured in pings, likes, and notifications. We are told that a screen is a bridge to connection-but what happens when that bridge becomes a cage? The Story: Alisa didn't see the trap. To her, it felt like a romantic mystery-a series of "Mirror Codes," "loyalty tests," and "secret hints" that made her feel special. She thought she was falling in love. In reality, she was falling into a psychological prison designed by Loferz. Loferz doesn't want Alisa's heart; he wants her submission. He treats people like characters in a game, testing how far he can push them before they break. He wants to see if he can make Alisa doubt her own eyes, her own memories, and her own best friends. But every game has a glitch. And for Alisa, that glitch is Tartles-the friend who sees the truth through the digital fog. The Lesson: The Silent Exit is a deep dive into the "dark side" of digital psychology. It is a story for anyone who has ever: Felt "crazy" for asking a simple question. Been isolated from the people who actually care. Realized that a "crush" was actually a conqueror. This isn't just a novel. It's a survival guide for the modern age. Because sometimes, you don't need the last word or an apology. You just need to leave. Will Alisa find the door, or will she become just another permanent resident in Loferz's game?
