All Your
Twisted Secrets
by Diana
Urban
What do
the queen bee, star athlete, valedictorian, stoner, loner and music
geek all have in common?, they were all invited to a scholarship
dinner, only to discover its a trap. Someone has locked them in a
room with a bomb, a syringe filled with poison and a note saying they
have an hour to pick someone to kill or else everyone dies.
Amber
Prescott is determined to get her classmates and herself out of the
room alive, but that might be easier said than done. No one knows how
they're all connected or who would want them dead. As they retrace
the events over the past year that might have triggered their
captor's ultimatum, it becomes clear that everyone is hiding
something. And with the clock ticking down, confusion turns into
fear, and fear morphs into panic as they race to answer the biggest
question; who will they choose to die?

Robinson and Gerado Delgadillo
Dacre
Vinson has spent the majority of his life in quite the
predicament—event he surf and his books cant eraser his Type 1
diabetes, but when Dacre's family moves to a new Mexican town, an
eccentric girl obsessed with trees offers him a job on the spot,
leading to what could be the perfect distraction from his problems.
Salbatora
Tames has one true love, her avocado farm. Her family consistently
nudges her to be more social, but Sal much prefers the dirt, the sun,
and the solitude. Besides, trees listen better than people do.
For Sal
and Dacre, their job won't stay easy breezy for long, not when an
avocado delivery to Palengue Mexico pops up on their radar. Together
they embark on a road trip across the jungle, where they form a
tighter bond, However, as obstacles arise, their new-found troubles
may lead to more than bliss.

by Sarah
Watson
Ava,
CJ, Jordan, and Martha (listed in alphabetical order out of fairness)
have been friends since kindergarten. Now they're in their senior
year, facing their biggest fears about growing up and growing apart..
but there's more than just college on the horizon. One of these girls
is destined to become the president of the united states. They
mystery, of course, is which girl gets the gig.
Is it
Ava, the Picture-perfect artist who's secretly struggling to figure
out where she belongs, or is it CJ, the one who's got everything
figured out...except how to fix her terrible SAT scores?, Maybe it's
Jordan, the group's resident journalist, who knows she's ready for
more than their small Ohio suburb can offer. And don't overlook
Martha who will have to overcome all the obstacles that stand in the
way of her dreams.
This is
the story of four best friends who have one another's backs through
every new love, breakup, stumble, and success-- proving that great
friendships can help young women achieve anything...even a seat in
the oval office.

- Coronavirus Wiki (as of the writing of this post)
The
symptoms of the Corona Virus are a cough, shortness of breath and a
high temperature, though having these symptoms doesn't mean you have
the virus, you could just have a cold. It is unsure how it is
spreading BUT similar viruses are spread through cough droplets. It's
very unlikely they are spread through packages or food. You only need
to self-isolate if recommended by your medical advisory board like
111 online service in the UK or by a medical professional.

collection of people, closed most public spaces and/or closed their
