When you think of "Summer," most people would think of a lovely beach vacation or anything related to the summer season.
Well.... except for Reese
After finishing her current grade level this year with flying colors, not a week later, her parents decided to drop her off at her grandparents' beach house for the entire summer, after the teen avoided going to a strict summer camp offered by her school.
As a cranky and stubborn teenager, her grandparents gave her a job, and that job was to take care of their mini business of little trinkets.
Glady for Reese, she brought her diary with her, who knows what else she'll learn this entirety of her summer vacation.

The Summer of Absolutely Nothing
It's summer - the end of my first year of college. And I am home again, more than a little worse for the wear. College hadn't gone how I had expected it to go. After two years of the grind to get in, I thought I would find the kind of magic I saw in American high school movies, which I had been denied of in school - late nights, parties, wild adventures with whacky best friends, romance.... everything one is told is supposed to happen in one's teenage years. After two years of watching my classmates grow up and enter this world, I thought it was my turn, now. I thought my college life would be like a coming-of-age movie. But in reality? It wouldn't make a good story, of any kind - not even a sad one. The only thing I found were shiftless friends, stifling academic pressure and heartbreak. So now I was home - a little bruised, a little broken. A few dreams in shards around my feet. Turns out, I needn't have worried. The summer that followed changed my life. The summer of - after a hectic, stressful year - nothing at all. Nothing, and yet - everything.Complete
Barbie to Farmgirl.
"Here, let me help.." I suddenly felt Trevor's warm presence behind me. My eyes watched as he slowly trailed his hands down my arms. Tingles flying in every part of my body as his hot breath fanned my soft skin, whispering "Ready?" into my ear. I slowly nodded, his hands landed on top of mine, both of us now holding the shovels handle. His chin rested on my shoulder, his manly cologne filling my nostrils. I bit down hard on my lip as his thumb gently traced my hand before slowly pulling the shovel up into the air, his grip on my hands tightened as we brought it down, instantly breaking the soil to pieces. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Spoilt and used to getting her own way, Adriana is in for a shock when her parents decide to send her to a small town to live with her Grandparents for the summer.

72 hours
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.Complete
Instead of him
Leena Nur was wrapping up her senior year at Leading Senior High this summer and with that, her domestic duties were also coming to their end. High school was nothing to miss for Leena. Instead, it was the bridge between childhood and adulthood. For the entirety of her life, she had been stuck there, forbidden to cross. Leena was neither young and never close to being old enough for anything. She considered it the curse of being the youngest and only daughter of a traditional East African family. As the sole daughter of her doting parents, Leena was their pride, their joy and also...their live-in maid. She was the youngest sibling of four brothers and as if being surrounded by them every living moment was not enough, her relentless neighbor, and brother's best friend made sure to loiter around to make her life worse. It was fine, she told herself, since she was determined to move out soon because of it. She knew she was close to the freedom she had been stealing tiny licks of since forever. She was graduating and that meant something so, so important. College. New Friends. And most irrevocably exciting, boys. If her father had heard that, let alone her brothers, Leena would have been locked deep inside her closet-sized room. However, she was determined they never would because by that time, she'd already be far away in America with her potential soul-mate, sipping hot cocoa and wrapped in lovely scarves she knitted. All she desired now, was to get through the rest of her high school career quieter than a mouse and receive that acceptance letter from UCLA. She could do it. Right? If she could just evade that annoying neighbor of hers.
summer of Maybe
There is a darkness that lives in silence. Not the kind you can hear. Not the kind you can fight or run from. It is the quiet that settles in the spaces between words. The empty rooms where laughter once echoed, now hollow and cold. The glance that flickers away too fast, the words that hover on the tip of a tongue but never fall. It is a darkness made of things left unsaid. Of promises broken without a sound. Of love turning brittle and sharp. You don't feel it at first. You tell yourself everything is fine. That the smiles are real. That the morning sunlight warming the kitchen is enough to hold the day together. But deep down, something is unraveling. You can't see the threads coming loose, but they pull harder with every breath you take. The foundation beneath you trembles, slow and steady. The people who are supposed to be your safe harbor-your family-are falling apart behind closed doors. And you stand in the middle, too young to understand, too old to ignore the shadows in their eyes. They tell you to be happy. To be strong. To believe in the future. But their voices falter. Their hands shake. They hide secrets in whispered phone calls and hurried gestures. And even when you don't want to see it, you know. You know that this summer is not a break. It is a reckoning. A reckoning wrapped in warm air and salty sea breeze. A reckoning dressed as a fresh start. Because some silences are louder than screams. And some endings don't wait for the night to fall. They begin in the golden light of a seemingly ordinary morning. The moment before everything breaks.
Summer's Break | Jack Griffo ✔
"And you? What's your name?" Jack asked. No words escaped my mouth; I was too busy staring at him. I was in a trance. He tried waving his hands to grab my attention, but I still didn't answer. "Hellooo?" That's when I snapped back to reality and managed to answer. "My name's S-summer Lovem-m-more." I stuttered. "Thank you. What a pretty name for a very pretty girl." He winked as he finished writing my name down. I blushed. "You're guaranteed to have fun here! I hope you enjoy your time. Our first fun activity is tonight; we're having a campfire... Be there by sunset." He left with a smile and closed the door behind himself. Did he have to leave? I fell back onto my pillow and smiled like a lovesick idiot. But, I guess that's what I was at that point. [Disclaimer: I started writing this book at twelve years old - do excuse the cringey parts and bad writing. This book stays up solely because it has become quite successful and to demonstrate how far I've come with my writing lol. okay. thanks.]Complete
