Emilia and Ashton have been best friends since they were four years old. But Emilia's feelings grew - stuck in the friend zone, she fell more and more in love with him each day.  Ashton found out and an inseparable, indescribable friendship shattered. Ashton moved to France with his family and Emilia's family turned to ruins.
Five years later, Ash moves back to the small English town where he grew up. Ash is different - older, more confident, more mature. Em is different - older, prettier, and completely guarded.
Pushed together from every direction, Emlilia and Ashton rebuild their friendship, brick by brick, trusting more and more each day and helping each other through the crappy reality that is their lives.
But everything is different; thoughts stay silent and feelings stay hidden. In the midst of it all, who will be the first to get friend zoned?

A Summer Like No Other by ElodieAuthor
33 parts Complete
She's his best friend's little sister. He's the biggest player of them all. They shouldn't be together. But this summer's just too tempting. Sixteen-year-old Emilia Moretti's goal for the summer is simple: forget her brother's best friend-Nick Grawsky-ever existed. It should be easy: He's spending his summer in the Hamptons, adding girls in tiny bikinis to his list of broken hearts. Guarantee he won't be telling them they're like his little sisters. This summer, Emilia won't stay awake at night thinking about him. She'll need flawless ballet movements to have a shot at next year's showcase, and she's finally ready to search for her birth parents. But when Nick decides to stay in the city, Emilia's resolve disappears in a pirouette. Maybe it's the spin they needed to be together. As long as she doesn't get stuck believing in happily ever after... Nick is tired of pretending to be the happy, let's-have-fun guy. His father wants him to change his career from professional dancer to...lawyer. He needs to put all of his focus on dancing to prove to Daddy Dearest he's good enough to make it big. And he may have a case of the bluest balls in history courtesy of Emilia. She's off-limits: The bro code with Roberto even forbids the dirty thoughts he has about her. Besides, he's not boyfriend material. He only has time for flings, for girls who don't expect much, for girls he doesn't want to kiss goodnight. He knows he should resist her, but he's not sure he wants to... At least for this summer. It's going to be a summer like no other.
