It’s an age old condition-insomnia. Insomnia is defined as the chronic inability to fall asleep or remain asleep for an adequate length of time. While many teenagers claim that they have insomnia and can’t sleep, the real question is: is it insomnia or is it just being a teenager? The majority of teenagers are not well known for time management. I’m not an exception to this. I look down at the clock and think “12:30 am? Wow, I’m not tired at all, where did the time go?!” and while this may serve me decently the night of, the next morning when I can’t drag myself out of my bed, I tend to wish it had gone differently. And yet, I always seem to continue to do that same thing every night. So there’s that question. Am I not feeling tired because of a sleep disorder, or am I not tired…

Okay, I guess I’ll come to terms with it. I just have to accept it now, with a deep breath. That’s right, I’ve caught it…ONE DIRECTION INFECTION!!! Unfortunately, I seem to have become just as obsessed with the Pop culture boy band as every single pre-pubescent girl across the world. It started with lifting weights to the catchy lyrics “You’re insecure, don’t know what for” and has morphed into the brain food for fanfictions and daydreams galore. How could this have happened to me?! Me, the crazy alt-girl with artificial holes in her face and the scary black line of makeup around her eyes! I just don’t understand it! Is it the catchy beat? Maybe the sappy lyrics? Possibly the fun personalities of the five boys? At least, the personalities they show on interviews and whatnot. Honestly, their lyrics have no depth or meaning. They’re cliche love songs, like “If…

Prologue (Andi’s POV) Flashback             “Mom!” I whined as she watched from the doorway. “Age 13 is a very fragile, unstable age! Why are you making me do this?!” I asked her.             “Because, Andi, you have to go to school.” She said as I slung my backpack over my shoulder.             “Ugh! Fine, but when I come home crying in freakish misery, it’ll be your fault!” I exclaimed, stomping out the door and down the street to my new middle school.             “I love you, honey!” She called after me. I raised my hand in a goodbye gesture as I turned to face this new school.             I looked down at my new converse as I trudged towards the entrance. Suddenly, I was shunted to the ground.             “Oh my god, I’m so sorry!” The person exclaimed. It was a guy. I looked up and my eyes locked onto…

Chapter 1(Kat’s POV) “Yell!” I exclaimed. “NO!” Krista gasped, pushing me. I turned to the camera that Cassie was holding in her hand. “They’re afraid.” I said into it. “If we’re so afraid, you run up and hug him.” Krista challenged. “I DARE you to.” She said. “Fine!” I retorted and strode across the street. I smiled deviously. I knew that I would probably freak them out. When I got to the other side, I stood and waited for him to turn to me. He finally did. “FREAAAKK!” I shouted and sped up to him, squeezing him in a death hug before sprinting back to my friends, giggling and panting. “That was hilarious, Kat! Now he’s looking at you like you’re a freak.” Krista said. “That’s because I am.” I replied, shrugging. “I am going up to apologize to him for you.” Nikki said and walked across the street. She…

Chapter 1(Ashton’s POV) “I’m so sick and tired of chasing you!” I exclaimed, running after the thief. He skidded to a stop and turned into an alley. By the time I had gotten there, he was just standing up from etching a transmutation circle into the ground. “Crap!” I cried, diving out of the path of the concrete pillar. “Well that explains why you want my pocket watch.” I muttered to myself, glancing at my black jacket, which was slung carelessly over his shoulder. “Listen, I’m getting pretty tired, so we can either do this the hard way, or you can hand over my jacket. Since I know you’re not gonna do that, I’m just gonna assume you wanna do the hard way.” I clapped my hands together and slammed them onto the ground. White light flashed and an elemental sword arose. “That was a neat trick. What’s your name,…

Chapter 1(Ashton’s POV) “Guess what we’re doing tonight?” My best friend, Gabi, asked as she plowed through my closet, throwing out my red plaid mini skirt, red Black Veil Brides shirt that I had designed myself, red converse, and red and black striped tie. I went into my bathroom to change. “What?” I called through the door as I pulled the skirt on. “Going to the BVB concert!” She exclaimed. A large smile grew on my face as I threw open the door and launched myself at her. “Thank you so much!” I shouted happily. “Happy birthday, Ash!” She exclaimed. My name is Ashton Stevens. I just turned 19 today. I live in a large house with my best friend, Gabi. She and I are in a band together with our other best friend, Jason, and his girlfriend Scarlet. Gabi plays guitar, Scarlet plays guitar, Jason is the drummer and…

Chapter 1 “Taylor, time for school!” My mom yelled up the stairs. I shivered as I got out of my pajamas. I unfolded my wing a little to stretch them out. Yeah, you heard me right, I stretched my wings out. My mom is Maximum Ride, my dad is Fang. My name is Taylor Ride. My wings were white with brown and black spots. I had mostly my mom’s wings, but some of my dad’s. I did get my dad’s hair though. It’s completely black. I pulled on some jeans and a happy bunny shirt and bounded down the stairs. “Don’t get your panties in a twist, I’m here.” I grumbled. My dad snickered as my mom hit me with a wooden spoon. “Ow!” I said. She scowled at me and dad smirked at her. Oh yeah, today was the last day of school. I was in the ninth grade.…

Chapter 1 “Mommy, why did we leave?” I asked in my tiny kit voice. “Spottedkit, we left because the leader exiled us.” My mom said. “Okay, I just wanted to know.” I said, stumbling along with my mother. We were crossing the thunderpath when it happened. I heard a monster getting nearer. My mom urged us on. I was the only one who made it across. My two siblings and my mom didn’t get to the other side. “Mooooommmmmm!” I screeched. I stumbled alone through the lush forest. I heard some rustling in the bracken. Four cats stalked out of the bracken. It was four full grown cats. “It’s a kit. This kit smells of Shadowclan and reeks of the thunderpath.” One of them, a tabby tom, growled. “Let’s take it back to camp.” A she-cat said more gently. “Fine, we’ll take it back to camp, then Firestar can decide…

Here I was, Fang’s sister, even though we hadn’t seen each other in forever. They had all left about four years ago, when Fang and I were ten. I’m fourteen now, and I was getting out today. I waited for the eraser’s breath to go. It was finally gone and I heard a thump. I burst the door down. I had super strength. I was Fang’s twin. I wore black from head to toe. I had completely black hair with blue and red streaks down it. The alarm blared. The erasers came for me. I saw them running down the hall both ways. I made it to the training grounds. I snapped my wings open. An eraser grabbed my ankle and twisted it. I heard a crack as it broke. I yanked it out with a wince. My jet black wings flapped madly as I got away from the horrid…

Chapter 1(Kat’s POV) As I flew above the world on the swing, I saw a guy walking away. I looked down at Cassie who was giggling at my silliness. “HEY SEXY!” I shouted. He turned around and I waved to him. He rolled his eyes and walked away. “Kat! Stop it!” Cassie gasped out through her giggles. I shrugged. “Seriously, people are going to think you’re a freak.” “I am.” I replied. Suddenly, I caught sight of five people climbing out of two cars. One of the cars just happened to be a Bat Mobile. “Cassie! Cassie, Black Veil Brides are here!” I hissed. “Kat, don’t!” She exclaimed, but it was too late. I had my mind set. As they walked towards us, I cleared my throat. “Kat!” Cassie hissed. “HEY TEHRE HOT STUFF! WHY DON’T YOU COME OVER HERE, SEXY!” I shouted. “Kat!” Cassie hissed, turning red. I giggled…
