I'm here," I exclaimed, as I found my way through the sea of people, ignoring the fact that my head was more and more aching as time passed by. "Ah, here she is," Carl smiled, and put his hand on my lower back. "Mr. Jackson, please meet Hayley Thames, one of the most passionate doctor I've ever met," he adressed the superstar who had Bethany on his lap. "Pleased to meet you," Michael Jackson smiled, standing up. He offered me his hand for me to shake it. "I've heard only great things about you so far." "I'm glad," I answered back, faking a smile, as the pain in my head was becoming unbearable. "N-Nice to meet you too, sir." At the second my hand made contact with his, my eyes couldn't see, my ears couldn't hear, my limbs couldn't move. It's like I was drowning in an ocean of images of him, of flashes I couldn't understand with people I didn't know. The only thing that seemed to be there, omnipresent, was him, Michael Jackson. It's like I could feel him invading my mind, like he was taking place in there without my approval. And then, nothing. Nothing but darkness.

New turf, new rules, new baddies; nothing the New Squidbeak Splatoon can't handle! This show is based on the hit Nintendo game of the same name and is the second season to my show "SplaTOON!" Two years have passed since the first season, and a lot has changed in Inkopolis. Zaki, who is now eighteen, is still on the Turf War scene trying to leave her mark in the Inkopolis Turf League before she ages out, and she'll be doing it alongside her friends, level-headed sniper Keiso and bubbly roller gal Teruo. She also finds herself being a mentor to two new squids on the block, the cool and confident Spider and his adorkable but incoherent friend, Inkura. When she's not fighting on the turf, she's saving Inkopolis from the Octarians, who have now found a way to use Inklings' ink as a power source at the cost of their voices. This time, however, she won't be alone. She has previously mentioned Sniper Boy Keiso; Callie and Marie of Squid Sisters fame; and Pearl and Marina a.k.a. Off the Hook, the current newsgirls in the Squid Sisters' place; by her side. Together, they'll be showing the Octarians what for all over again. Octo Expansion-This part takes place eleven months after the main second season. It tells the story of Bridgett, one of Zaki's Octo-clones, as she tries to escape the mysterious Deepsea Metro where she's been trapped. Will she, Zaki, Ila, Pearl, and Marina be able to make it out? Of course. The Squidbeak Splatoon's seen it all. Right? Warning: The Octo Expansion is mega gay. Read only if you're okay with that. I do not own Splatoon or any of the characters except for Zaki, Keiso, Teruo, Ila, and a few minor characters. Cover design is mine. Spider and Inkura belong to Alex Spider. Bridgett belongs to Viantastic. Most episode titles for Season 2 proper and some dialogue for both sections are from Zack Scott's playthrough of Splatoon 2 and Viantastic's playthrough of the Octo Expansion.

#SurvivalRomance #ForcedProximity #Fast-paced ⁍ Winner of the Wattys2020 Award ⁍ Wattpad brought the rights for it, although it already expired this year. (September, 2025.) If you ever take a headless selfie, pray that you don't live in Bastillio. Because in that city, it is the same as receiving a death sentence. It is proof that you are marked for death-a haunted-one who is targeted by a living shadow of eldritch origin which the citizens call the Shade. But when Vergil Torres found out he was a haunted, he was the opposite of scared. Because he knows that the government has built a shelter that has successfully kept haunteds alive for the past decades. But the gruesome and inexplicable death of one of them during their stay in the supposedly safe house renews the horror of the Shade. Vergil, together with his classmate and fellow haunted, the "traditional morena beauty" Cana Bernardo, decided to get to the bottom of it. The two classmates who were indifferent to each other must now work together if they are to survive through the month.

***AVAILABLE AS A PAPERBACK!!! On Amazon!*** Wynn is hoping to escape her mother, and the sinkhole of grief that has swallowed her house. She feels as though she is going to spontaneously combust; she can no longer brave the death of her older sister while simultaneously dealing with her mother's irksome coping methods. Ross is hoping to find the last thing his mother left behind...one of the only things not destroyed in the fire. He's been compiling the stories that his mother told him for years now, and he hopes to use them to find the answers-and the necklace-that he's looking for. So they both head to the lake for vacation. Wynn's father hopes that the lake will help her reconnect with nature-and with herself-before she heads off to college. Ross hopes to explore the location of his parent's honeymoon, and to experience the setting of his mother's stories in person. What neither of them expect, however, is each other. Crossing paths, Ross and Wynn discover something that will change their lives forever. Through their week spent as next door neighbors in two small cabins on a lake, they realize that grief is magnetic, and that life isn't meant to be lived alone.

"Where am I seeing you?" She asked as she brushed a strand of her white hair behind her ear. Jasmine only gave a smile and a giggle as she stood up with her backpack. "The Rejects Club, of course." ()()() Jasmine Ender is the definition of spontaneous. Not only does this girl do just about everything, but she's the biggest social butterfly anyone's ever met. On top of being an actress, she's also just started the school's very first Rejects Club. Now, who decided that the Rejects had to be alone? Mark Nijer might be average but that doesn't mean he's not just as impulsive as his best friend. Being best friends with the school's resident extrovert might have rubbed off on him a bit. Doesn't mean that he's perfect but he's at least the smiling face in the morning. Who doesn't need one of those? Kyra Kingsly just wants to disappear. With the nickname of Detective Purple Hair after solving one of the biggest cases in her small home town, she's been plagued with people knowing who she is. She just wants to be left alone and forgotten so that she can get her work done, without fear of her grandfather's anger. Is that too much to ask? Cleopatra Blackheart is known as the school's bad girl. Last year, she made herself known as the bad girl from Lockwood with her best friend, Bailey, but this year, she's on her own and she's apparently scarier this way. Cold and unmoving, it's no wonder that no one likes to be around her. Cleopatra and a handful and a half. Who wants to be the one to have to deal with that? And then there's Monet Ivory. If you were to ask anyone who she was, they probably wouldn't even know she existed. Monet's that one kid who never speaks, never looks you in the eyes, and barely passes her classes. She's not so much of a mystery as she is a ninja, in and out without anyone knowing. But who is she really and why is she always so distant? And that's the reason that the Rejects Club was made in the first place.

HIGHEST RANK: #1 thief: First she's his captive. Then she's his partner. This is an origin story of a modern day Bonnie and Clyde, complete with crime, mystery, and tons of passion.
