The Disappearance of the Silent by z3ont1ik

There's a weird shift in the air before everything goes to shit. It's like the Earth is tilting off its axis. Nevertheless, just when you expect the drop, it doesn't happen. Instead, the feeling lingers, as your fingers tingle with anticipation. Your ears buzz and your eyes twitch. The same itching restlessness clawing at you as you brace yourself for impact. . . . High school is hard, and when Piper gets a note in her locker, things can't get stranger. It all seems sweet. A new friend. An admirer. Even a prank. Then Sue Mehta goes missing and Piper's world tilts off its axis. As the school moves on, Piper can't shake the feeling that something's wrong. The police say Sue ran away, but Piper doesn't buy it. With her best friend grounded and no one else taking it seriously, she starts asking questions on her own-and what she finds points to something much bigger than she imagined. Who's behind the notes? What really happened to Sue? And how far is someone willing to go to keep secrets buried?

Get A Life | ONC2023 Shortlist by OnceUponASonder

While her best friend Cassidy snacks on brie and boys in France, Darcy Li-Quinn must face her last year of high school and the unpredictable wrath of her sister, Danica, alone. Darcy's plan for dealing with Danica and her heinous friends is simple-be invisible. But first, she's promised Cassidy she'll do 'one brave thing'. Mustering the courage to say 'hi' to the cute boy on the bus, Darcy expects rejection or indifference. She doesn't anticipate a grumpy ghost with unfinished business who needs her help. Suddenly, a quiet year of flying under the radar looks increasingly unlikely. *** Rationally, Hunter Viera knows that his brother's death wasn't his fault. But that doesn't stop his guilt about Archer invading his every thought or lessen the grief sitting heavy in his chest. Changing schools offers a fresh start, and Hunter's plan is simple-be invisible. But he hasn't counted on Darcy, or her ludicrous claim that Archer speaks to her from beyond the grave. Suddenly, a quiet year of sitting on the sidelines looks increasingly unlikely. *** This is a story about hearts and hope and public transport. This is Darcy and Hunter's story (and a little bit Archer's too). *** 'Get A Life' is my entry for Open Novella Contest 2023 and is inspired by the following prompts. 20. You finally build enough courage to talk to that cute someone you see every day on the bus. Their face turns dark as they respond "You shouldn't be able to see me." 9. There's an urban legend that's been circulating for years about a taxi cab that doesn't take you where you want to go, but where you need to go. One night, you stepped into this cab.
