And before they knew, everything concealed within had already crumbled down. Before they knew, all they had ever known was already gone. For how long can you hold the sand between your fingers?

FEATURED ON WATTPAD FRESH READS 21/07 Asha has watched pretty much every rom-com to ever exist and read every romance novel to have ever set foot in the world of literature- in fact, she's even written some successful teen romance novels of her own on Wattpad, which practically makes her an expert. So, how hard could it be for someone who essentially has a Ph.D. in the 'studies of luurve' to make the stereotypical school player, Kai Watson, fall head over heels in love with her? And with the help of her best friend Mason, it should be a walk in the park. Except, it's not. Heck, it's more like a crawl in the Sahara desert. It doesn't take Asha long at all to realise that love couldn't be more different from what she had envisaged in her head and in just a few months she learns more about love, in all its forms than she could have ever imagined.

Delena is determined to have a good time at summer camp and forget about her backstabbing ex-best-friend Mei. But when Mei shows up at camp too, suddenly revenge looks a lot more appealing than forgetting. * * * * * As far as 17-year-old Delena Torres is concerned, friendship is nothing more than a quick way to get hurt. This has been her mindset for the past two months anyway, ever since her best friend Mei ditched her and started hanging out with her arch enemy. She's more than ready to spend summer vacation alone-- then her parents surprise her by signing her up for a photography course at Camp Create It, the summer camp she and Mei always dreamed of attending. Still, even if she has to be surrounded by other campers, Del's determined not to get attached to anyone. She'll spend the summer by herself, honing her photography skills and forgetting about Mei. Easy, right? Maybe, if it wasn't for the fact that her quirky cabin-mate seems deadset on becoming friends. Or if she could stop running into the cute guy from the kitchen staff. Oh, and if she wasn't in the middle of a prank war after one stupid attempt at revenge, since Mei just happened to show up at camp, too. Yeah, this "lone wolf" thing might be harder than she thought.

"Curiosity killed the kitty Miss Adams." My body stiffened. Slowly I turned around just to see Mr. Parker standing in front of me with hands in his trouser pockets. I bit my lip. I thought he would be angry but when I looked at him. His face showed no emotion. He then started walking towards me I moved back. This continued until my back hit the door.
