Delena is determined to have a good time at summer camp and forget about her backstabbing ex-best-friend Mei. But when Mei shows up at camp too, suddenly revenge looks a lot more appealing than forgetting.

* * * * * 

As far as 17-year-old Delena Torres is concerned, friendship is nothing more than a quick way to get hurt. This has been her mindset for the past two months anyway, ever since her best friend Mei ditched her and started hanging out with her arch enemy.

She's more than ready to spend summer vacation alone-- then her parents surprise her by signing her up for a photography course at Camp Create It, the summer camp she and Mei always dreamed of attending. Still, even if she has to be surrounded by other campers, Del's determined not to get attached to anyone. She'll spend the summer by herself, honing her photography skills and forgetting about Mei. Easy, right?

Maybe, if it wasn't for the fact that her quirky cabin-mate seems deadset on becoming friends. Or if she could stop running into the cute guy from the kitchen staff. Oh, and if she wasn't in the middle of a prank war after one stupid attempt at revenge, since Mei just happened to show up at camp, too.

Yeah, this "lone wolf" thing might be harder than she thought.

"Yes?" "I- I um- well, you- I-" "Listen, kid, the campers' cabins are on the other side." He points behind him. "Now, move, yeah?" "That isn't it!" "Then what is it?" He still has that same bored tone. Finally, the words I've been meaning to say spill out. Well... kinda. "Y-you're in- wrong- I mean, the cabin! No! You're in the cabin wrong!" .˚ ༘✶ ⋆｡˚ ⁀➷ Summer Turner hasn't always had it the easiest. With her workaholic father never home and a little brother who has somehow become her responsibility, she decides she needs to get away. No service, no family issues, no problems. Just her, a cabin, and a couple kids to look after. Sounds like a fair trade to everything going on at home. Or so she thinks.

Entangled| Humor-Romance (Completed) by vineethereader

First love is hard enough. It's new and exciting and absolutely terrifying and maybe even unrequited. When it's difficult for Skyler to move on from her silly little crush, she just has to take a leap of faith... at least that's what she was advised. All that's easy to say, but how hard is it to actually confess your feelings, spell it out and put your heart on the line? Meet Skyler and experience this struggle with her. *************** "What's the worst a confession could lead to?" Skylar thought when she decided to approach her long time crush, everything that followed was absolutely unexpected and totally hilarious... Only, maybe it's not so funny for Skyler. Ayden Smith is a lone wolf, or so she thought. He didn't exactly go out of his way to make friends and was a little too self-sufficient for his own good. Is it even possible he might return her feelings, seems unlikely... but when their paths intertwine, and things get out of hand, what could happen over the course of a summer...? Other than a tonne of embarrassing things that is... **************** If you are in the mood for a sweet heartwarming summer romance with not too much drama, this is the one for you. Note: This story could lead to a lot of second-hand embarrassment, uncontrollable smiling and loud obnoxious laughter. Proceed with caution⚠ *************** Thank you blackwidow999 for the book cover.

Stuck In An All Boys Camp by DeanaForever

I, Skylar was accidentally sent to a Hot Boys Camp I mean ALL BOYS CAMP . At first I hated it but then I met the boys in my Cabin. They were the sexiest and attractive people I've ever met. Which made me wanna stay longer..... Oh if I had signal on my phone which I don't because this camp is in the middle of friggin no where I'd probably tweet about this. Anyways I started to grow really close to one of my cabin mates Caden. He's very flirty,hot,cute......and has a great personality (sometimes). He's the best thing that has ever happened to me in a long time. I am well boy crazy for him. It may sound like I'm obsessed with him but I'm not. I swear. I've never liked anyone this much in my life. So I plan to be the nicest/cutest girl to him. The other boys tell me that "Caden is hard to get" and hasn't dated anyone in a while. But I definitely think that will change this summer. **All rights reserved ®DeanaForever™** |READ STUCK IN AN ALL BOYS CAMP | ***OFFICIAL*** | Skylars summer is about to be filled with joy,happiness,sadness,madness,romance,craziness and more!

Crashing Into Blue by zunanas

Delia Greyson is looking forward to a quiet summer in her west coast beach town before heading off to Juilliard in the fall to pursue her musical passion. With miles of sandy beach beneath her feet, sunny days in the forecast, and having her twin sister Indigo and best friend Samson to keep her company between working shifts at the gift shop, it seems that the summer will be all smooth sailing. But things become unexpectedly rocky when her ex comes back to town for one last summer after breaking her heart the last. And he's not alone; with his new girlfriend in tow, Delia is left feeling cast adrift in her own hometown. With a bold plan hatched by her sister, Delia convinces Samson to play the role of adoring boyfriend. As feelings get complicated and the lines begin to blur in the fake relationship world, things get even messier when her estranged father and step family make an appearance for the first time. From catastrophic mini-golf dates to awkward family dinners, Delia struggles to not get caught in her own tricky web of lies. But everyone is not as they seem and everything is not as simple as it's made out to be. It's the summer of unforeseen firsts and long awaited lasts. It's the summer that changed it all, and the one that no one will forget.

Not So Hot Girls Summer by emmalsmith__

Not So Hot Girls Summer follows three best friends on the last of their summer holidays before starting in their careers. Amelie, Maddie and Frankie have been friends since they were children and now they have graduated from university, they are ready for their final weeks of freedom, this year with celebrations taking place in Bali. But all is not as glamorous as social media portrays. Each of the girls are complicated and with each of them keeping their issues under wraps, they begin to build their own warped perceptions on one another (don't worry, the omniscient narrator reveals all). Amelie is a relatable character for many millennials. She suffers from social anxiety, fearing awkward situations and questioning everyone's intentions. From her perspective, she already believes that she will be left behind after summer, with Maddie and Frankie phasing her out. But she's wrong. The narrative she has built in her own mind is nothing far from the truth. Maddie does care. In fact, Maddie cares more than anyone. She is the only one to have organised anything to ensure they have the most memorable last few weeks before entering the working world, even when she is secretively dealing with her own issues. It is Frankie that can't be trusted. She is the lost soul of the group who has adopted a mentality of no longer caring. Whilst some may view her carefree perspective as admirable, it is this outlook that is leading her to dangerous waters. But with each of the girls personally dealing with their struggles, it doesn't take long before the holiday turns into emotional chaos, especially when boys become involved. Amelie

Camp Albanica | Complete by 123itsmeee

[wattys shortlist 2018] Colton has always hated Alexis. It's as simple as that. Alexis has never hated Colton though, not even after the night havoc was let loose: chaos caused by him. This summer, Alexis doesn't expect to be reunited with her tormentor. She assumed that after that night, all those years ago, he wouldn't dare show face again. After all, what he did was unforgivable and definitely not fixable; not this time. Regardless, he's back and a counsellor too. Now Alexis has to figure out if she's going to let him walk all over her again or if she's going stand up to him? With her loyal group of friends armed with many 'pranks' she surely has the weapons to do so. But she's not so sure she wants to use them against her bully. *i'm not great at blurbs, but please give my story a go, i promise it's better than it sounds!* __________________________________ » watty's shortlist 2018. » featured story on chicklit's trending list. » #10 in chicklit, #1 in camp, #1 in summer camp.

The Best Kind of Betrayal by scout245

It's the first day of June's senior year and everything is already going wrong. Her first boyfriend and supposedly love of her life dumps her for someone else, her heart is broken and feels like it won't ever heal again and her best friend makes her join the most unnecessary club on earth to help her find new friends she most definitely does not need. Still. New chances are for new beginnings, right? Instead of falling into a deep dark pit of self pity (however tempting that may sound), all of this betrayal ends up leading her to the best friends she's ever had and the most exciting school year of her life. Oh - and a whole new fake boyfriend, to get some revenge on that idiot who dumped her. And who knows. Maybe even more.
