All through high school, Reagan Bell and Alec Mason, inseparable childhood friends and neighbors, had wanted to go to the same college. Had planned to go to the same college. But then, he got a scholarship, a full ride, to a university that she simply couldn't afford. It was their last summer together.  And how could she tell him not to take it? How could I tell him that she couldn't deal with being apart? After all, she was his best friend, not his girlfriend. Just a best friend, and nothing more.

When you truly love someone, you'd do anything to make them happy. This is something that both Reagan and Alec feel deeply. But with their last summer together coming to a close, time is running out for confessions.

Can your closest friend become your greatest love?

No- far from it- he has a group of friends he plays baseball with and surf during the summer. He has family that he is known to hang out with.

It was supposed to be fun for Julian as well but after plans abruptly change and thousands of dollars that cannot go to waste, he finds himself alone at the trip.

The teens throw a big party at the house during the end of the trip. The small leads to a boring night at the end. The teens find themself playing little games to occupy time. "I dare you to kiss a guy you don't even know the name of," Isla was asked and soon she found herself kissing Julian. It shocks Julian to a pause, here he was sitting idly to a girl kissing him suddenly. Julian ponders on it, but then finds out that the kiss wasn't meant to be anything. But will the kiss turn out to be nothing if life throws the pair together on many counts? Or will two strangers keep it that way?

"Seriously you've dated the same guy since freshman year!" He asks astonished. I nod my head. "So, you've only kissed one guy?" I laugh. "Why does everyone always ask that?" Izzy Gavins has only dated one guy; has only ever kissed one guy. Everyone tells her to live her life and to have fun. She does have fun, Tyler makes her happier than anyone she's ever met. Tyler Lochner flunked sixth grade and had to repeat it. Sometimes God works in mysterious ways. If that hadn't happened he wouldn't have gotten to go through high school with the one girl he's ever loved. It's their last summer before college and they're not going to let any minute go to waste. At least that's what Tyler thought till Izzy started having doubts about their relationship. Maybe everyone is right, maybe she's holding herself back to fit into Tyler's lifestyle. Maybe she needs a break to work on herself. One thing Tyler hates is the not knowing, for him they're either together or not. Everyone says change is a good thing, but what if it's not? Because this change hurts like hell. Cover art by @JankyFluffy
