And this is the summer that Ronnie is finally going to go from “best friend” status to “girlfriend” status.  Or at least, that’s the plan.  But when Cullen starts seeing Gina, the girl across the lake, Ronnie is left doing everything she can to maintain the best friend status she never thought she would lose.

Cullen isn’t the only one coming back for the summer—there’s also Ogie Gilbert, the rich kid who summers at the house next door to Ronnie with his mom.  Ronnie and Cullen have known Ogie for years, but somehow he seems different.  Different in a way that has Ronnie’s friend Macy very interested…

Desperate to get back on track with Cullen, Ronnie is ready to change everything about herself.  But in doing so, will she only drift further from not only Cullen, but Ogie as well?

With the backdrop of a lakeside summer, One of the Guys is a story of friendship, misconceptions, and the challenges of growing apart.All Rights Reserved

Everything Ripples by sixwhitewhiskers

It all began at the lake. The clear water, the hidden secrets, the ever present memories; they all stay there. One lake, one summer, one lifetime. The visions of that time still ever present in our minds, reminding us, tempting us. We were reckless, carefree, irresponsible. But nothing could break what we had that one summer. "We abandon our prize to look at others; wishing and hoping that it could be given to us. When we do have a chance to take a peek, we cower and hiss at what might be inside... Please unravel the ribbon; take the wrapper off that is the flesh of you and open the box. Maybe you will see stars." - Genesis Adonai Adams
