Four kids, one ghost town, one summer left until they're adults. Time seems to go too fast, yet things also seem boring. What if they could find a way to slow the process, to enjoy their last real summer? Prompted by her neighbor, Daisy and her friend group turn the woods into a home-away-from-home--and stumble across a treasure hunt. And an accidental relationship, but do we really care about that? Maybeee... 

Note: chapters 1-20 is what I consider "part 1." part 2 is everything after chapter 20, but they are still the same story and book; there's just a little time gap in between (like 2 weeks, so not much) and part 1's main plot point is more or less finished by the end of chapter 20. part 2 is... well, a part 2 of that story, but NOT a sequel. it's just one, messy book :))

P.P.S. I also had this story uploaded through my friend @TashasRose about a year ago before I had wattpad, so I am the original author, just not the original poster (I gave consent tho). but now I have wattpad  so the better version is on my acc ;) all to say, if you read my book through her account first, this is the new location for current chapters

Our Own Summer. by fwjoogie
11 parts Complete Mature
Personally, I never saw myself as an optimistic person. I never really had any friends, I didn't share feelings for people, I never really had any social life whatsoever. My life was always boring. Especially when I was younger. My parents were sucked up alcoholics, we never had the money to do anything due to my mom quitting her job and my dad being a selfish prick. Though, I'm now an adult; 18 years old. No longer in school. I have job at Walmart as a nightshift stocker; my mother's friend gave me the job. It's summer, so I'm not working as much. I have a small friend group, containing people of 4. Me including, Nathan, Carly, and Dalton. We've known each other since early middle school. I, Kyle, have known Carly and Dalton since grade school. It is rolling up to be Summer. Us 4, have decided to make this Summer year the best of our lives. Join me and the others in our journey, exploring our emotions and different places. Getting into tight scenarios. Explore it through our different pov's. It's definitely a train ride! kyle..wyaa - tiktok enjoy my story! im not an experienced wattpad writer, and im not natively english, so just try your best to make up with my language. I will most likely be making a sequel to this story with different endings and scenarios. And, probably a copy but in my native language. ( Русский ) This story does have NSFW in it, and some trigger warnings. I, of course, will make sure to put the TW at the start of the story of what could possibly be triggering to some. + A lot of songs are used in this story, which some include with the title. Some artist's like, Deftones, $lothboi, Glass Animals, Nirvana, even some rappers song's are included! So, if you noticed anything related, drop a comment on the chapter to tell me you noticed! I try to keep each chapter a single word name as well, sometimes I add a subheading to the chapter :). thank you for reading lovelys

Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?

I hated Blue for almost 10 years. It took me 72 hours to fall in love with her. Even though it might seem unusual for a 17 year old, I have a habit of timing things. In 6th grade it took me 2 hours to stand on the boogie board without falling on the water. Almost 5 days to read 'Dracula' in freshman year and 7 days to gather courage and ask a girl called Mary to go out with me. 12 minutes to set up an Instagram account and half an hour to organize my room every time we come to Cousins. Honestly, I don't know why I do it. To make my dad's watch or maybe to get a sense of control. Regardless of the motive, I've done it since I was a kid. The numbers make sense, I was afraid of falling so it took me a while to learn to stand confidently on the board, afraid of being rejected so it took me a whole week to ask a girl out. But I can't, for the love of my sanity, explain what happened this past week. Ellie is someone I never liked, since the day she compared me to Sid, from the Ice Age, things between us have been a war zone. I can't help it, she gets under my skin like no one else ever did. So I'd like to understand why, while we were stuck together during a storm, it took me just 72 hours to fall in love with her. -- 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' fanfiction. Ellie is my OC and belongs to me but anything associated with TSITP doesn't. Mature themes such as death, abandonment trauma, depression, and sickness are explored. Proceed with caution.

NOTE: I REVISED BEFORE YOU GO, SO THERE WILL BE SOME MISINFORMATION IN THIS ONE REGARDING LEON & ELIZA'S RELATIONSHIP. I WILL FIX IT SOON, THOUGH! * I would HIGHLY recommend reading BEFORE YOU GO and THE ONE YOU FIGHT FOR before you read this novel. This novel is a criss-cross between them and will include some major spoilers!* Leo Sangster has a bucket list tucked away safely, folded between the pages of his favourite book. And it's been there for nearly fifteen years. He hasn't tried to read it. He can't. He won't. Because that one piece of paper is a large piece of his father -- someone he's never met and never will be able to meet. But as Leo finds himself heading to Whistler, BC to explore where his father was born and who he was before he died in a car accident, he begins to wonder if that bucket list could give him any clues. Aria Madden is the daughter of the now-retired, famous NHL player, Luke Madden. Anyone would consider that a lot to live up to, but Aria is content with her current position. In January, she'll be competing in the Winter Olympics for Canada's women's hockey team. Over the summer, she's going to be training in Whistler, BC with the rest of the team, all while staying at her aunt's house. But even though it seems like she has everything under control, Aria is stuck in a whirlwind of anxiety. While she's happy and excited that her hard work has paid off, she's worried she won't live up to her father's legacy. When Leo and Aria cross paths on a fateful summer day, they're thrown into the chaos of an unforgettable summer adventure -- filled with charming and mysterious people, astounding views, and alpine air. But as the summer continues on and the heat is amped up, undeniable chemistry begins to brew between the two of them. But what happens when summer ends and they have to go their separate ways? Will they give up on the chemistry or will they find a way to make it work?

Enid Lupin was the daughter of Remus Lupin. Enid was Remus's pride and joy, and he would do absolutely anything for her. When she was born, he was terrified that she would have the werewolf curse like him, but she wasn't cursed like him. She had a few characteristics, but she wasn't a werewolf. Enid was the same age as Fred and George Weasley, so during school, they were her best friends. They did everything together, and they loved her like a sister. It was as if there was triplets instead of twins, but she never did go to the Burrow. She was too worried about her father to leave him during any holidays or breaks. Enid had met Fred and George's little brother and sister, but she never did formally meet any of their older siblings. She knew of them, but she never met them, not even the brother that was a prefect then the Headboy. Anyway, Enid had dropped out of school with the twins to work at the joke shop, and that was just how things kicked off. Years later, when You-Know-Who attacked Hogwarts to kill Harry Potter, that's when Enid lost almost everything. She felt scared and lost, but at least she still had her uncle and her little brother. She also had her sweet baby, who had been born only a short bit of time after the war. She hadn't expected things to go uphill after losing so much, but things seemed to slowly start getting better for the girl...
