a community and safe-space for girls <3

Whoever says boys and girls can't just be friends is lying, and Lexi Hamilton is living proof of that. Spending the majority of her adolescence surrounded by only boys, Lexi is accustomed to maintaining strictly platonic relationships with the men she's remained closest to. Not once has she ever gushed over one of her friends, or even remotely felt the smallest twinge of romantic affection for a single one of them. That is, until senior year. With graduation and college looming ahead, Lexi planned to spend her senior year spending the entirety of her free time with the five boys closest to her. She accomplishes that - but she also develops feelings she has never in her life felt before. As much as she tries to deny it, she has truly become enamored by one of the guys that she has considered a best friend for most of her life. She refused to acknowledge her feelings, knowing they have the potential to ruin everything she has come to appreciate about her friend group. But will love somehow conquer her fears and allow her to seek something bigger than she could have ever imagined? Or will her worries prove true?

Seeing most of their friends and each other for the first time in years, five for Caleb, eight for Bailey, It's overwhelming. Both have to come to terms with feelings they've ignored since they left.

Did it ever leave in the first place? SEQUEL TO 'NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS' READ THAT ONE FIRST OR YOU WILL DEFINITELY BE LOST!!

She's back and better than ever. Living in Chicago for the junior Law program was a fun year of her life but Bailey-Belle couldn't be happier to be home. Just in time for senior year too. She missed her six brothers, her hometown and everyone else in it. Well... almost everyone. Caleb Kazer has been best friends with her older brothers since birth. He's the ultra smart, flirty and ever charming bad boy who has teased Belle since they could talk. He is undeniably hot and he knows it. He's arrogant, cocky and constantly teasing or antagonizing Belle. But despite all of this, she can't deny the fact that she would defend him if he were ever in trouble. She says she can't stand him, but deep down she knows things would be boring without him. Bailey 'Belle' Kalanski is this intimidatingly intelligent, fun loving spitfire of a girl that Caleb can't help but be intrigued by. He always has been, ever since they were kids. She's annoyingly stubborn and always has an answer for everything. The only things they seemingly have in common is their smarts, sarcasm and love for fun and their family. Shes the ultimate pain in his ass, but he knows that he would protect her forever, even though she really didn't need. He couldn't deny the fact that things wouldn't be the same without her. Through nightly talks and their constant bickering the two suprisingly grow closer. What happens when, to both of their confusion and dismay, feelings start to bloom? What happens when both of their worlds come crashing down around them? They say a lot can change within a year, and although Belle likes to let go of most of the turmoil that's happened througout her life, this year would definitely be impossible to forget, no matter how hard she tried. 'Never in a Million Years' is the hilarious and heartbreaking tale of Bailey-Belle Kalanski's life, full of family, friends, love and laughter.
