When she eventually arrives in California, thousands of miles away from her home and everything she's ever known, it finally feels like she's where she's meant to be...especially when surfer Reiley spikes her interest.

In this summer romance, follow Skye as she finds out who she really is, and where her place is in the world.

The Palmer Pool by AnnaWestley

[Wattys 2022 Winner!] Vanessa Brooks, an anxious and cynical seventeen year-old, discovers she can travel to the summer of 1953 through the run-down community pool in her rural Michigan town and risks her future as she falls for a boy who lives in the past. ****** On the last day of junior year, Vanessa Brooks joins her friends for a traditional jump into the city pool to celebrate the beginning of summer and the last year they plan to spend in Palmer, Michigan; a dead-end riverside town with an eerily abandoned historic main street and decaying Victorian mansions. But when she resurfaces her classmates have been replaced by girls in retro swimsuits and bathing caps and guys in thigh-baring briefs with cigarettes tucked behind their ears. When Pete Harrison, an unfamiliar face who seems somewhat familiar with hers, offers a dizzy and confused Vanessa a towel and a ride home, she discovers her house and family missing. She has somehow slipped into 1953, the year her grandparents graduated high school. Using the pool and vivid imaginings of her grandfather's memories, Vanessa continues to escape to 1953- and to Pete, who, despite his unaffected kindness and optimism, has a mysterious bad reputation around town. But as she dives deeper into the summer her grandparents fell in love, she finds herself unable to return to the present without venturing even further into the past to correct a mistake that threatens her family and future. *Content Warning: this story contains scenes of near drowning and other perils on the sea, swearing, smoking and alcohol use* This story is complete at ~90,000 words.

For Ethan who has been isolating himself and absolutely independent that he pushed everyone away, and Skye being stubborn and not in-the-least shy on saying what she thought openly, fighting and bickering was unpreventable.

Playing The Surfer by Murffiee

"Does this feel real enough?" He grabbed my face delicately in his hands, the rain runs down our foreheads to where our lips meet, each of us tasting the cold drops. Sparks flew in every direction, but instead of detracting from the intensity of the moment, it brings us to new heights. Caiden pushes his lips against mine more firmly and the wave that runs through me is intoxicating, making my head swim. And we all know how much I love to swim. ---- Caiden Hurley is one of the cliche boys most girls would swoon over. But the new girl isn't most girls. Caiden and his buddies have a game tradition where every year, they each have a mission to try and lay a certain girl in their grade. And the short-tempered, surf champion new girl: Kennedy Dyline is Caiden's lucky pick.
