Long Distance

Mariel Ethans and Casper Kellam have been best friends since they were young. With parents in the high class, the two kids grew up going to lavish parties and having the possibilities of being the only child there. But when they et each other, that was no longer the case.

Mariel and Casper were also both extremely good looking children, and their looks just got better as they got older.

But, nothing stays perfect. Not even for the people who seem to have everything.

Casper is a year older than Mariel, which means he graduates high school first. This they both knew, and talked about when they started their freshman year. But before hearing their solution, you should know this. Casper and Mariel went to their freshman and sophomore homecoming together -as friends. They went to Mariel's junior prom and Casper junior and senior prom together -as friends.

And both had feelings for each other which were confessed right before he stepped onto a plane in California to go to college at Princeton.

This story takes a series of email's and Instant Messages sent between Casper and Mariel, but also a few of Casper's friends and family members sharing things that Mariel didn't.

Could the feelings Casper and Mariel feel grow with the distance - close to 2,900 miles - or could the distance make it hard for the love they feel to stay strong? Only reading can tell you.
