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?

64 Pack of Juniper by novellacinderella
8 parts Ongoing Mature
After three weeks of her high school sweetheart strangely acting like the biggest asshole towards her, Juniper's boyfriend breaks up with her and seemingly that's the end of that. Embarrassed, heart broken, and unsure what to do, Juniper says nothing to her friends about the breakup, not three days later when Abel makes it official by dropping off everything she ever gave him, and not two days after that when they're forced into each other's proximity for their friend group's weekly game night. Strangely enough, Juniper finds out that Abel has ALSO not said anything to his friends about the breakup. The biggest reason? Abel's best friend just so happens to also be Juniper's big brother. What would Hayden do once he found out about their breakup? Would he and Abel still be friends? Would Juniper WANT them to still be friends? They'd been friends twice as long as Juniper and Abel had dated. Hayden would drop Abel in a heartbeat for his sister, but he would be just as heartbroken as her. She didn't want that. But she didn't want to be stuck seeing Abel all the time after what he'd said to her either. Juniper agreed to not tell Hayden about their breakup until they were both ready. But that meant, they'd have to still act like a couple- like the couple they were before- in order for Hayden not to find out. As the 'pretending' goes on, and neither one of them seems closer to being 'ready', both Juniper and Abel start to wonder if Hayden is the only reason the other person won't let go.

A Summer Reminiscent

12 parts Ongoing

"Yeah, I was born in August so naturally my parents thought it was a perfect name," I rolled my eyes for emphasis. "It gets annoying after a while though." As soon as August finishes her sophomore year in high school, her father sells their house and moves the family into their rental home on Rock Rose Beach. Faced with this new change, August longs for friendship, especially when she meets her next-door neighbor Jacob. "Well, I think it's a pretty name," he smiled again, which made his whole face light up. He stared at me for a minute more before asking, "I feel like I recognize you from somewhere, have we met before?" As her 17th birthday draws nearer, August begins to recall a past summer spent at the beach with Jacob when she was little. But was their closeness a thing of the past, or will she be able to rekindle what they might have had before?
