Hey guys, I originally wrote this story in 2012, and now-13 years later-I'm returning to it with fresh eyes, a bit more life experience, and a full heart. This version is a reimagined take on the original, and while it's still a first draft (with its fair share of rough edges), I'm beyond excited to finally share it with you. To those who have read, are reading, or will someday read this-thank you. Truly. Your support, your votes, your time-it all means a lot. If you have thoughts, feedback, or just want to say hi, I'd love to hear from you. To everyone who's been part of this journey, even silently-thank you for being here. ❤️ - All rights reserved.

After not seeing each other for nearly eight years, Justin and Laila are suddenly forced to spend the entire summer together. Now if that's not bad enough, Justin and Laila couldn't be more opposite from each other. At first it's plainly clear to everyone that they're just not going to get along at all. But the more Justin and Laila actually get to know each other - and when they aren't fighting over something stupid - the two slowly realize that maybe there are things in life they'll need each other to figure out. If Justin is arrogant, snarky, and just a bit too handsome for his own good, then Laila may just end up going insane. And if Laila's clever, quick-witted, and beyond pretty, then God help Justin. So the same thought on both of their minds? Is this going to be the summer of a life time or what?
