Elizabeth ("Libby") Montgomery has spent her summers basking in Edisto Beach, South Carolina for as long as she can remember. Her and her family, who stay in a beautiful beach house during the warmest months of the year, are always accompanied by their beloved family friends who rent the house next door: The Hansons. 
Libby has practically grown up with the Hansons' son of the same age, Cole. Summers full of sandcastle wars, golf cart rides, and strawberry ice cream cones have been a childhood constant that she always looks forward to. Everything has always been perfectly the same.
At least it had been up until the summer after Libby turned 17. 
That summer, Libby came to the reality of the strange feelings she had battled with for the last couple of years. She had fallen in love with Cole Hanson. 
At age 18, Libby has prepared to make her last summer with Cole before college perfect. But will her plans of love confessions and moonlit walks on the beach come crashing down when Cole brings along his new girlfriend?

The First Rule by rcpcswrites
71 parts Complete Mature
Bestfriends Forever. Just bestfriends that spoke like lovers.. and that seemed to be enough for two teenagers who were scared to love one another. Emilia (Emily) Winters and Tyler Cavill. The two have been unseparated since they're born. First steps together.. first sugarcanes.. first burgers. They do everything together. Tyler's explosive and so is Emily. Emily's a badass, and so is 'The King of River High'. And both? Truest impulsive-indecisive people. And oh-yes, the rules. Rules are never meant to be broken. Not for these two. But then high school happened. Or should we say.. love happened? Everybody knows how the two feel. During a ritual interrogation of each other's dates-abiding by one of their rules-Emily expresses her frustration at never having a boyfriend because all the boys ended up scared of Tyler-and her dad, technically-since the two are actually teaming up to steer away Emily from other boys. Frustrated by his bestfriends' dynamic, Wyatt makes a bet. If neither Tyler nor Emily ends up dating someone else by the end of the highschool, Wyatt wins, proving they're in love. Ruined friendships. Ruined principles. Another rule break. Another heartbreak. And so.. Which path will they take? 🎖️ACHIEVEMENTS🎖️ #8 rulebreaker out of 821 stories #50 bestfriendstolovers out of 2.75K stories #32 richkids out of 3.61K stories #48 feelgood out of 4.21K stories #56 boynextdoor out of 4.11K stories #73 baseball out of 7.01K stories #230 childhoodsweethearts out of 12.4K stories #135 neighbors out of 12K stories #30 rules out of 6.21K stories #27 oldfriends out of 2.2K stories 🏁COMPLETED🏁 📅 Date: 24 07 24 / 24th of July 2024 📝 Word Count: 154.760 👩🏻‍❤️‍🧑🏻Character Visualization👩🏻‍❤️‍🧑🏻 https://pin.it/13KAnztST

[Complete || 7x featured] Some summers are meant to burn. April O'Brien is a firefly-bright, restless, and done living under anyone else's rules. Fresh out of high school, she knows college isn't part of her story, no matter how hard her father pushes. So when a summer getaway to Hawaii offers her the freedom to breathe, she takes it, determined to leave expectations behind and soak up every bit of sunlight. But paradise comes with a twist. Javier-the boy who once had her heart and shattered it-is here too, and he's no longer just a memory. He's older. Sharper. Still heartbreakingly familiar. What was supposed to be a peaceful escape quickly spirals into late-night tension, unfinished conversations, and a pull April swore she'd outgrown. She's built walls since Javier. She's learned how to pretend she doesn't care. But under the stars and crashing waves, pretending starts to feel impossible. Just when it seems like they might find their way back to each other, April discovers Javier hasn't come back empty-handed-he's carrying secrets that could upend everything. And as truth and betrayal collide, she has to decide whether this summer will be the start of something real... or the final goodbye she never got.
