WATTPAD ORIGINAL EDITION In 1955, mixed-race Ethan Harper leaves his progressive hometown for a summer in Alabama where he's not welcome, except by resident free spirit, Juniper Jones. ***** After getting himself into a bout of trouble, 16-year-old Ethan Harper's parents send him to Ellison, Alabama, to live with his aunt and uncle for the summer. But the year is 1955, and Alabama is a far cry from his beloved home of Arcadia, Washington. As much as it's hotter in temperature, it's colder in every other way, and Ethan learns the hard way that people see his mere existence as a threat. Amidst all the mayhem, a fiery, free-spirited, oddball walks into Ethan's life. Her name is Juniper Jones. She is the first person in Ellison who seems unfazed by their racial differences, and she promises to give Ethan a summer he will always remember, filled with endless adventure and discovery. With Juniper, Ethan can breathe, he can be, despite the incessant attention and bullying their newly formed friendship attracts. Can the two survive the summer, run in the light and block out the noise of the outside world? [Published version comes out June 16, 2020 with Wattpad Books!] [[word count: 70,000-80,000 words]]

When you live in the town possessing the largest lake in England there is no surprise that water is thicker than blood, that water is in our bones. We all survive on it, but with the people of Bowness-on-Windermere; there was just a stronger passion to the life-preserver. My life was determined by the tides, by the ripples of the lake and the temperature of the water. So why did I all of a sudden feel like I was drowning, when I knew so much on how to manipulate the element? You could blame that on Kendal Yates, the arrogant arsehole. He could change my body from ice to steam, from low to high tides. He was the one who could fully control the element and he could control me with it. But sometimes, I guess you are meant to lose control. Copyright © Georgie E. - Fruitea on Wattpad

"Cuttings; I dare you to have kissed Rosalind Thomas by New Year's Eve this year. I dare you to rock her world; I dare you that the fireworks she sees have nothing to do with the celebrations around the two of you." As the last year of high school rolled around a bad smell started to hang around Ross Thomas, or should I say a bad boy? When a dare was put upon Lee Cuttings to kiss the recluse dog-walker Ross he put it upon himself to not only have the deal sealed months in advance but he promised himself he would get more than a measly kiss. Sadly for him the dog walker seemed a bit of a bitch and was intent on yanking his lead. The real question in all this was whether Ross Thomas had the ability to get the school mutt on a leash.
