With college and the uncertainties of adulthood looming ahead, Elliot and Sienna are faced with the reality that their lives are about to change forever. In a desperate bid to hold onto their bond, they plan one last adventure: a summer camping trip at Pinewood Lake. It's meant to be a celebration of their friendship, but as they spend more time alone under the stars, they're forced to confront the unspoken feelings that have lingered between them for years.

Will their connection withstand the inevitable changes that life brings? Or will the transition from friendship to love blur the line between dreams and reality?

"We were just kids in love." Nicole is an outgoing senior in high school, hoping to make this year her best yet. She is the new girl in town and is looking forward to new friends and experiences. All seems to be going smoothly until meeting Tessa. In Tessa's eyes, Nicole is stealing everything that Tessa believes belongs to her. And she is in no way trying to hide her hostility towards Nicole. William, a green-eyed boy who has his life planned out for him, grew up in this town. He knows everyone and is popular amongst his friends. He makes an effort to spend every bit of his free time hanging out with his friends at the lake. When Nicole and William's eyes connect for the first time, neither one can look away. Is there such a thing as love at first sight? I want to think so. *** First Love, Forever Love is the first story that I had the pleasure of writing for a contest. Little did I know that this story would be the catalyst of my passion for writing. I loosely based this story on my husband's and my love story. While much of it is fiction, there are snippets of truth throughout. I hope you enjoy reading my story as much as I enjoyed writing it and revising it for Wattpad.
