At Ridgewood High School, the biology lab is more than just a classroom-it's a gateway to discovery, intrigue, and the unexplored mysteries of life itself. Mal Rivers and Evie Thompson, two brilliant yet vastly different minds, form an unlikely partnership that reshapes their understanding of science and each other. While Mal's calculated logic and razor-sharp focus dissect the complexities of biology, Evie's boundless creativity and unorthodox approach bring the subject to life in ways no textbook ever could.

Under the guidance of the enigmatic Ms. Taylor, the pair embark on a groundbreaking project that pushes the boundaries of their knowledge. Tasked with decoding a fictional organism's DNA and imagining its evolution, their journey begins as a simple academic challenge. But as they delve deeper, strange anomalies arise-patterns in the genetic sequences hinting at connections far beyond their classroom. Suddenly, their project feels less hypothetical and more real, as if the science they're unraveling holds the key to an unsettling truth.

As the duo races to piece together the genetic puzzle, they face unexpected obstacles: secrets hidden in Ridgewood High's history, tensions within their friendship, and a growing realization that their work might have consequences they're not prepared to face. In a whirlwind of scientific breakthroughs, moral dilemmas, and personal revelations, Mal and Evie discover that understanding life's code requires more than intellect-it demands courage

23 parts Complete
(COMPLETED | UNDER EDITING) Fresh out of college, Veronica Odair is hired as a forensic scientist at the infamous B.E.A.R. Laboratories. She is put to work on the classified Tekula Project, but certain events lead her to question her job. What is so dangerous about Level 5? Why do her tests come back increasingly strange? What secrets are B.E.A.R. Laboratories hiding? Veronica plans to find out. ▪▪▪ Brown eyes, nearly obscured by rich locks of dark hair, stare into my light green ones with an intensity which nearly causes my knees to wobble. I can hear nothing but the thudding of my heart beating wildly in my chest, the sounds of the sirens turning into white noise at the back of my mind. I back up until my spine connects with the elevator doors. I shiver as my bare arms come in contact with the cool metal. "Someone help me, please," I beg. The man stalks closer still. His eyes are fixed solely on me, unmoving, intense. His fists are clutched tightly against his sides, as though restraining himself in some way. Restraining himself from what, I don't want to know. The man stops only an arm's length away from me. I stare up at him with wide eyes, my lips parted in fear. I stand frozen, unable to move. I shut my eyes, turning my head away. Laboured breathing, the touch of fingertips on my bare shoulder, breath on my lips. A heavy, deep inhale. Slow exhale. A forehead against mine, shaky hands cupping the back of my neck, fingertips sliding into my red locks. My eyes open to meet the warmest pair of honey eyes. Cover by AnnaCharles16 #4 in ROMANCE?

27 parts Complete Mature

Would you doubt your own sanity if you were suddenly blamed for certain events that you had no idea were happening? At first, Dayna thinks everyone is playing a horrible joke on her -- blaming her for doing things she wouldn't normally even think of doing. To add onto that, the new guy at school hates her guts for reasons she doesn't understand. But then, she realizes something just isn't adding up. She's blamed for things she's quite sure she didn't do and between taking detentions, to making out with other girls’ boyfriends and getting arrested, Dayna has had enough. She wants to know who is impersonating her and why. Fed up with the situation, she confides in her robotic scientist parents who shamefully admit that they had created a perfect clone of her…that somehow managed to escape. Amid the huge mess her life has become, she meets Kyle, who is an agent assigned to her to keep her safe from her so-called clone. He is also the new boy at school that has an unadulterated hatred for her. Kyle is more man than boy, who has a cynical outlook at life, and a very black and white way of looking at things. As the school term ends and she graduates, Dayna finds herself having a very interesting summer filled with planning, strategizing, and an unknown attraction towards Kyle. In the end hard decisions will have to be made. But who will win? Dayna or Dayna?
