It's the same thing each summer. Two weeks of physical attraction and obsessiveness over "A Guy." The Same guy each and every summer. Five years in a row. Playful banter and some common interests and laughs; then it just vanishes. Just like summer - the crush is just gone - and it's back to GPA's, Dances, Homework assignments; and much more. We all have crushes. There is no doubt about that. Some turn into something else; while others don't. Have you heard of the summer crush? Sort of like a summer fling, but not even that. Kind of how you like them and they know it - but you don't act on it and it happens at the same time every year. That's how it is for me. Everly Hoffman. No, I was not the "IT" girl or the "Nerdy" girl at South Laguna High - although I was Prom Queen. Nope, I'm just the girl lost in a never-ending daydream. Now I attend SKU. Anyways, every year around the same time frame I go to my resort - and my feelings for Bobby Tomlinson reemerge...but only for like three weeks. Then it's on to liking the guy in my class. That's how it was until now. This summer was going to be different. My friends think I am borderline delusional and I admit - this is probably the craziest idea I have had - but I just have to do it. This year is different. This year I wanted him to notice me. This would be the year it would change. This summer it won't just be a crush.
