They say nothing ever happens in small towns . . . 

When Sarah comes home from her improvised summer vacation, she finds out two guys have just moved in. Not only that, but her friend Alana is dating one of them and thinks it would be fun if Sarah dated Julien's equally hot brother. 

However, Sarah is not interested in Gary's constant happy whistling. She prefers to hear Julien's stories about the stars even if some stars die at the end. The more time they spend together, the more she wants to be around him. 

So Sarah decides to control her feelings. Easier said than done. 

Usually, things are never as easy as they should be, and when it all becomes a huge mess, a valuable lesson will be learned. Sarah's mother says that when the heart speaks, we must hear. Will Sarah listen to it?

BOOTH BOY by CaraStorm
11 parts Complete
"It's a cliché. It makes no real sense and yet there we were, baring our souls to each other while Jess Glynne claimed there was no place she'd rather be over the speakers. Even while twirling my paper straw in my cherry vanilla milkshake, just to keep my fingers busy, I somehow knew I would always come back to this moment and fondly recall the past two hours of muted conversation, probing stares and soft laughter. I would always come back to my booth boy." ~~~~ An unexpected rendezvous between two semi strangers finds it way back into their lives 4 years later when love brings them back to the quaint little town of Park City. Could the subtle blooming summer friendship nipped in the bud blossom into a spring romance? Could it possibly survive the harshest winter yet? Aileen Magnolia Benoit-Pierre, well just Pierre now, wants nothing more than to lay back, kick her feet up and take a BREAK. Working insane shifts, battling an overactive imagination and terrible decision making, all while simply trying to attain her degree is finally taking it's toll on her. The upcoming winter wedding is the perfect opportunity for some unwinding and she's ready for it. Too bad Cassius Hernandez has other ideas. I guess the friendzone's not for everyone.

"All week, you've been on my mind, and I can't make it go away. Finally, after suffering in silence for so long at the thought of your lips, your laugh, and your smile..." Aaron trailed off, his eyes roamed my face. "All week?" I scoffed pulling away. "I've been in love with you for twenty years!" "We've been friends since childhood, and I've accepted that we're just not meant to be. I've tried to move on and you encouraged me to follow my dreams. I just... I didn't know that my dream was you." . ✧ . Bethany grew up in a small town in rural Alabama. Her older brother and her best friend had been the only closest people to her for years. Until they all graduated together and went their separate ways. Struggling to stay in touch with one another with their developing, adult lives. Years ago Bethany had fallen head over heels in love with the most popular guy in town, Aaron Russel. But confessing her feelings had always been something she would never do. After all Aaron was her best friend's brother who never gave Bethany a second thought. Or so she thought. Bethany had always been the typical nerdy girl without any fashion sense. Aaron was the complete opposite. Aaron throughout school was the class clown, football quarterback with dozens of friends that hung onto his every word. Girls at his beck and call. And high school only enriched his popularity. And now almost a decade later they all have the opportunity to see each other again at their ten year high school reunion. Now Bethany had the chance to show everyone she grew up with how much she changed. Her thriving career out of state finally gaining confidence and sophistication transforming into a whole new woman. It took them some time to realize what they wanted and what they needed in life. And it took them even more time to confess who they were truly in love with.
