When Brooke Adams hears of an upcoming surfing competition taking place but minutes from her home on the island of Oahu, she sees no choice but to enter. The winner of the competition is given a grand money prize, which could pave Brooke's way towards her dream college in Malibu. As one of the best young surfer's Hawaii has seen in years, she's determined to win. It all seems plausible until the school-renowned player, Sean Parker, bombards his way into Brooke's life.

Everything changes when she repeatedly becomes the center of Sean's games and discovers a secret about him that leaves her reeling with intoxicating curiosity. The closer they become, the more intertwined Brooke and Sean's lives become, and the more she's left wondering how many secrets have been hidden from her all her life.

Sixteen year old Cami has been looking forward to this summer forever. She's finally old enough to compete in the elite category for the annual Surf Carnival that takes place on Pinhold, her little tiny island that is home to an extraordinary number of twins and the most perfectly surfable waves in the Pacific. But just as the competitions heat up, the best swimmers go down and suddenly, Cami and her friends are at risk. The Guard, the mysterious organization that runs everything from the town council to the beach patrol to the religious ceremonies, doesn't have any answers. Cami's twin brother Mica is convinced there's a conspiracy at work, but she's too caught up in a new relationship with Mica's best friend to look beneath the surface. And then suddenly, the telepathic link she shares with Mica goes silent. And Cami realizes that if she doesn't take it upon herself to find out what's making her friends sick, she might lose them forever, and go down herself.

Lost in the waves by SolitaireHolden12

Do we truly know those we consider as our family? This is the last year before the beginning of the rest of Cara and Mia lives! Mia Carter still has one more year to spend on Angel Island before leaving, with her best friend, for Montreal to pursue their dream careers. The only problem is that she has to hold on without murdering her nemesis: Austin Coopler. At least, that's what she thought before Cara suddenly vanishes on the evening of the first day of school. No news, no leads, and even stranger, neither the police nor her family seem to care. But Mia is convinced that this disappearance is not a simple runaway case. Caught up in an investigation that goes beyond a mere disappearance, she has no choice but to cooperate with her archenemy and a group of friends who have known each other since childhood. TW - sensitive topics This story contains a lot of references to addiction (alcohol and drugs), and as the chapters progress, they will become more serious. Furthermore, the main character (Mia) suffers from diagnosed chronic anxiety, which I have portrayed to the best of my own experience. All characters, places, and events are fictional (products of my imagination only). Protected story.

What Dreams Are Made Of by Kayla_Whiteman

I wish I could say life has been easy. But that would be a lie. Having a parent pass, all but easy. Having a great group of friends though, that only makes it easier to cope. The down fall of that group of friends though, is that after a funeral, long summer vacation, the one friend I looked most forward to seeing, I can't even form a sentence with now. --- The summer before his 8th grade year, Calvin Truitt, his father John, and little brother Brayden went through a devastating loss. Calvin and Brayden lost their mother in a long, unglorious fight to the big C, pancreatic for the record. And John, lost the love of his life, his wife, and his very best friend. His friends spent that entire summer giving nothing but comfort, love, and not to mention good times that Calvin didn't want but absolutely needed. Minus one friend. That one friend, Delilah Martin. Delilah Martin spent that summer away, visiting with her grandparents in Nevada, but little to Calvins surprise, when they came back on that first day of school, Delilah was no longer that girl he always knew. Braces were gone, body filled out, coming in to her own sense of style, and it had Calvin shaking in his shoes. Fast forward 4 years, and barely a word has been said between he, and his former bruh girl best friend turned baddie, until, Calvin's fresh new sister shows up in beautiful St Augustine Florida, and just as much as he and his friends rocked her world, she rocked his by befriending beautiful Delilah Martin. Delilah, she is the girl Calvin has always dreamed of. When it comes to Calvin, Delilah feels that she might as well keep dreaming. But with the help of Haven, Tucker, Colten, Ricky, and Shay, not to mention the loud and over-opinionated friends he's come to share with Haven from New Orleans, can Calvin make his dream girl his reality?
