Update: I'm so sorry, but this story is ass. I may edit it in the future, but not likely. Don't say I didn't warm you.

Hey guys! Thank you so much for taking a chance on this story. It's my first time writing on Wattpad, and it's my first time really writing a creative piece in general, so it may not be the best in plot holes and timelines and character development and things like that, but I really do love the story, and I hope you all will too.

IMPORTANT: this book will include a shitload of cussing. It's from a 17-18 year old's perspective, of course there will be some strong language. And this book kind of has a lot of it, so I'm sorry in advance!

VERY IMPORTANT: This book is about a relationship between a guy and a girl. That's it. There's not gonna be alternate plot lines with twists and turns and cliffhangers like most other romance novels. This is going to be strictly about Myles and Serena and their journey to finding each other, and that's it.

IMPORTANT: This book will center around the relationship of Myles and Serena. This relationship will take them through senior year. It starts in September and ends in June. I've split the book up into 3 sections based on the seasons: fall, winter, and spring. The timeline of the chapters will be very short, probably only a few weeks, but the season will be a few months. For example, the fall section will be about 10 chapters, but it will only cover a few weeks at the beginning of September of 2016, and the winter section will start in 2017. Basically, the story cuts out a lot of time and focuses on the most important stages of their relationship.

NOTE: the chapters are written in alternating points of view between Myles and Serena. I'm not that great with writing a ton if I feel like I got everything I wanted to say in the chapter, so the lengths of chapters may differ. Don't worry, if you like one point of view more than the other, I promise there will be long chapters in both points of view. But I know that compared to a lot of other authors, my chapters are much shorter, but that's just the way I write.

ALSO, there's a lot of characters in this book. Don't worry about them! Myles and Serena have a lot of friends, that's all. You don't have to worry about keeping track of them all, the most important ones are, obviously, Myles and Serena. I do have a couple spin-off ideas planned for some of the characters in here, so keep an eye out!

ALSO, don't worry about the pictures I put up for the characters. I know when I'm reading, I like to think of people myself to play the characters, these are just people that I think would fit the role well. That's why I'm not making a cast list, just use the pictures as a guide. Some of the people I use might be real people that I found on Instagram because their accounts are popular/famous or they're models or whatnot, so if you want their Instagram names so you can check them out, just let me know!

ALSO, Cardiff by the Sea is a real place in San Diego in Southern California. I don't know if Cardiff High School really exists, but I just came up with a stereotypical high school name. I use REAL places in San Diego for this book, but this book is a work of fiction, and I don't know if the actual places are like what I describe them as at all.

ALSO, I am slowly editing this book. I have all the chapters written already, but I still want to go through and edit them. If the writing isn't the best, I'll try my hardest to make it better!

Other than that, there's not much left to say...

Happy reading!
