My best friend Greyson McNamara and I have been partners in crime for a while now. Pranks, sneaking out to go to parties, joy riding in our parents' cars, all that crazy teen stuff, we made a pact to do together. And surprise surprise, dating each other was never on that list. I mean it's not like Grey is a bad looking guy or anything. Wink wink. Now back to that no dating thing. For years, we heard about how we would be a cute couple and how we are perfect for each other. Of course, we always laughed it off until one day we didn't. Our senior year has ended with two back to back breakups and all we can think is that we have nothing to lose. That includes us thinking that it can't hurt to try to date each other for the summer before college. We made a promise to each other that we'll stay friends no matter what. Like I said we have nothing to lose. But what if I'm wrong?

*** THIS HAS BEEN MOVED TO ANOTHER ACCOUNT @toasterparty *** Let me start this off by saying, I, Iris Cameron, am not always an impulsive person, okay? There were times when I would think through every decision thoroughly. Getting into a relationship? I pondered the idea for months. Leaving my hometown to move to Minnesota for college? I wrote down all the pros and cons. Choosing to ship Elena with Stefan or Damon? It took me five whole seasons to finally come to a solid decision (and that decision was Damon, of course. Duh). But, unfortunately, there are some situations that beg for impulsivity. Like when your boyfriend breaks up with you and kicks you out with zero warning, leaving you homeless and broke on the streets of Minnesota, and then, naturally, you go into the home of a certain boy from your college you've only ever spoken to once and you stay in his attic while he is blissfully unaware. Or you know what, maybe not. Maybe you don't do that because that is psychotic. But...I did that. ................... Think of a 2000's romcom but with a little more angst and lots of drama!
