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.

Ending up in her father's hometown a few months after the day her life changed forever, Morgan finds her life changing once again, and she only hopes that this time will be for the better. It isn't until after a run-in with the town's golden boy, Jack Crawford, that Morgan realizes no amount of starting over will take away the memories of the past. What Morgan doesn't know is that Jack has a secret of his own that's eerily similar to hers. And what neither of the two know is that their secrets will unintentionally bring them together, reminding the duo that they aren't as alone as they often feel.

It just felt right because It was unnecessary drama. by Left_right_goodbye

Well, this is a journal, so you found it. Can I say Happy reading into my life? The life of a kid who hates love. This is a love story, darling. Well, I don't know about you but I hate school, I have been told it is a place to mingle with good souls and create moments to cherish and to get yourself educated. It is a place for youth to strive and bloom into respected beings. It is a sanctuary of sanity. If you ask me, school is the definition of drama as it is the birthplace of drama. Youth is the ambassador of chaos, you can either make the chaos good or bad, worth the pleasure or the very cause of death. Life is too short to live with a sane mind, there is no harm in breaking rules to live life the way you want as long as it makes you good. As with any classical young adult romance, this book is filled with horny, hormone imbalance, chemical imbalances, not loved and very well-loved, mature(childish), caring(cruel ) teenagers. All of this drama only started because of one guy, Mark Austin Jawa, the golden boy of Winter Abyss High School. Maybe Mark had nothing to do at all.It was just about 4 kids learning to live Did I forget to say, there are inhuman beings as well in this story? There are romance, drama, revenge, supernatural, chaos, lust, betrayal, hate, friendship, mental health issues, Johnny Christopher Depp || fan and hater, selenophile, diversity of nations and their skins and of course, there are gays. There are also LGBTQ ++ in this pure chaos-filling story of 21st-century humans and the Novel Coronavirus 2019 Disease better known as Covid 19. Oh, I almost forgot, this tale is even more screw up than the famous love story of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare.

For the past 4 years that little girl has had me wrapped around her finger and I wouldn't have it any other way. Unfortunately I got stuck in traffic on the way over so I'm late for pick up. Once I get to Melanie's classroom I fill out the sign out sheet that's on the wall and make my way into the classroom. I faintly hear Melanie laughing so I know she's not upset from me being late. "Hey I'm so sorry. I got stuck in traff..." I said stopping mid sentence, stunned at the woman in front of me. Standing in front of me is someone I considered one of the most important people to me back in highschool. As soon as I looked into those Caribbean blue that I used to know so well, I knew it was her. It takes her a few seconds to realize who I am. She stands there stunned. We continue to stare at each other until she breaks the silence. "Josh?" She asks not believing it's actually me. "Hey Katie girl."
