After spending a year taking care of her grandmother in Florida, seventeen-year-old Tessa Daniels travels to California to visit her father and two brothers at their new house, but only on the condition that it's only for the summer.
She's up to the idea - until the next door neighbor begins to take notice in her.
His name is Alex Bennett. He's six-foot-two, and he's the perfect kind of muscular, but most importantly, he's cute. That, however, is precisely what prompts her to stay away from him. She sees no need in getting involved in a relationship just to have her heart broken and shattered to pieces, like she witnessed when her parents had a major downfall in their marriage.
All Tessa wanted was an innocent trip to California. What she got was a journey filled with smiles, laughter, heartbreak, and love.
And to think - it could all happen Once Upon a Summer.

One plane ride could change your life. SOPHIA RANDALL likes her routines. She plans everything, down to the very last second. And Sophia is content to stay in the radius of her hometown in Brookline, Massachusetts forever and ever. Change is not a word that exists in her vocabulary. Sophia doesn't take risks. She doesn't see the point. That is, until her free spirited sister, Abby, convinces her to take a trip to Hawaii. Then everything changes, because Sophia meets Jake... JACOB SULLIVAN JONES doesn't know who he is. His estranged parents have tried to control his entire life according to their plan. He has two options, and picking one would be like picking a parent. Jacob knows what everyone else wants with one glance. Hawaii is his last chance to find out what he wants, not anyone else. It seemed like the perfect solution to his problems. One whole summer on his own, no parents, no impending responsibility. Enter Sophia, who Jake falls in love with the moment he lays eyes on her. Spending a summer in Hawaii, even if you do have to work at a tourist excursion company, is every eighteen year old's dream. Surf, sand, and crystal clear waters, there isn't much more you could ask for. Sophia's goal is to steer clear of any present danger, and Jake's goal is to jump headfirst into it. What could possibly go wrong? WARNING: This book may cause bouts of nausea, anger, and loneliness. You may also experience sudden outbursts of excitement, and/or an overwhelming urge to squeal. A sweet, coming of age story, covered in a thick helping of comedic relief, adorable moments, and summer vacation nostalgia.
Float
It started on Wattpad but now is EVERYWHERE! With a bestselling book by WWBG, a captivating Webcomic on Webtoon, and a film adaptation by Wattpad WEBTOON studios, you can read, scroll, or watch - there's an experience for everyone to dive into Waverly and Blake's journey. ***** In order to fit in during her summer visit to a beachside town, Waverly must take swimming lessons from Blake, the moody (but gorgeous) lifeguard next door. ***** Seventeen-year-old Waverly Lyons is from Alaska. She doesn't do sun. But after her divorced parents can't agree on who gets to have her for the summer, Waverly gets shipped off to Holden, Florida, to spend a couple months with her aunt, Rachel. There's one minor hiccup: Blake Hamilton, Rachel's seventeen-year-old neighbor. He's athletic, outgoing, arrogant, tan, and pretty much Waverly's exact opposite. She's eager to avoid him at all costs, hoping to fit in with the other kids in Holden without drawing too much attention to herself. But when Blake discovers that Waverly has been hiding the rather embarrassing secret that she can't swim, he does the unthinkable: He offers to teach her.

If Hearts Could Speak (UNEDITED)
|"Sometimes the heart knows things the mind could never explain." -Ranjeet| We are teenagers. We have gone through hell and back. Listen to the stories we have to tell. Spoiler alert: we get broken in the end. But our stories come from our heart. Listen to our heartbeat. Elizabeth and Andrew were good friends up until high school. They drifted away, and rarely spoke to each other. During the last few months of high school, Elizabeth and her four friends get caught in drama. This includes crushes, breakups, makeups, bullies, and much more. Elizabeth has to keep them together and ignore her longing crush on a plain and heartbroken guy. But maybe something could distract her from all that. Maybe that distraction's name is Blake. Warning: READ AT YOUR OWN RISK! This story contains many plot holes, cliche moments, and just things that don't make any sense. (And editing would be a nightmare. I can't do it myself. I've officially given up on this story.) #569 in Teen Fiction on April 9, 2016 |Added to @weareteenqueens "High School Highlights" reading list!| |Entered in the #W.SAwards for 2016 "Most Favorited Book!"| #Wattys2016 #WriteForYou #MyYouth #weareteenqueensComplete
The Boy ✔️
"Would you like to dance?" the boy asks me. I stare deep into his blue eyes, but I can't figure out who he is. He's tall with dark hair and the brightest blue eyes I've ever seen. I know everyone at this school, but with his features hidden behind his mask I can't tell who he is. "Sure, I would love to." Did I just say that? I agreed to dance with a random boy who I don't know. He takes my hand and leads me to the dance floor. We dance for a few songs and then he asks me, "Would you like to take a walk? I know the perfect place." I nod and he pulls me behind him off the dance floor. We leave the hotel and start walking down a little path. At the end of the path I notice a little fountain surrounded by candles. I wonder if he set this up. We walk over to the fountain and we sit down on the edge. "I had a wonderful time tonight," says the guy. He reaches to his face and removes his mask. I recognize him immediately. How did I not know it before? *** Carter Bennett has managed to survive her first 3 years of high school. Everything has been amazing... for the most part. She had her life completely planned out.

This Girl
I turn around and look into his blue eyes, searching them. When I'm certain that he's not lying, butterflies erupt in my stomach and I gulp audibly. His fingers move from playing with the tips of my hair to my cheeks. I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him closer. His other hand moves from my waist to my jawline and he trails his thumb along my bottom lip. He pulls my face closer until I can smell his minty breath. His eyes close and so do mine. My head tilts to the side slowly and I feel his lips on mine. *** Natalie Bennett: a sassy 17-year-old, who, after leaving her home in Paris, starts at Lakewater high in America. Natalie is humble, sarcastic and smart, funny and forgiving. She complains when she has to wear dresses, heels and make-up and she can't stand annoying fake girls. Alex Collins: cocky, egocentric, and a magnet to the female race, that is, all girls except Natalie, who can't stand him. Alex is a player, a model, and a singer. His family is rich. He's the definition of a bad boy, but behind those ray bans hides an intelligent soft side. But when they unexpectedly bump into each other both Natalie and Alex begin to realize there might be more layers to the other than they expected.

Walking back home, I hear a sound in a slightly dimmed alleyway. So like anybody with a rather large sense of curiosity, I strolled into it. Doing a full 360 degree turn, I slammed into someone's chest. Don't worry, it was a guy. Actually, please do! "Well, well, well. Look who we have here . . ." The man chuckled darkly, the shadows still covering his facial features. This does NOT look good. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Y/N is a kind, rediculously shy and innocent looking, young and beautiful twenty-year-old girl. For a tomboy, she is extremely stylish, but not on purpose. Cory is a young, handsome man who somehow got a camera for a face. For a dude, he knows how to rock any outfit given, and gets pulled into bunches of little city adventures by Nick. Nick and Tessa are just their roommates, best friends, and all around cool people. Tessa is from the city, and rents an apartment to live in with Y/N, from the quiet countryside. Cory lives in the city, with Nick from the country as well. As soon as the new neighbors greet the girls, what are the after-events? Read to find out!Complete
