Blurb ~

It's coming to the end of summer before their final year of high school. Two teens, Theodore and Camila haven't seen each other all summer, the longest they've been apart since they first met. Both teens have been inseparable since twelve-year-old Camila moved to town with her older sister and guardian, Zoe.

While Theodore spent his whole summer working with his father, Camila was touring Europe. Now she's back, just in time for the start of the new school year.

Characters ~

When I first published this book, I gave you a cast of actors and actresses I pictured the characters as. But this time around, for any new readers, I'd like you to imagine them for yourselves. Feel free to comment who you pictured them as!

Originally, I imagined:

Theodore: Arón Piper
Camila: Ester Expósito
Zoe: Megan Fox
Matthew: Louis Partridge
Joey: Jamie Campbell Bower
Katie: Janel Parrish
Spencer: Aaron Taylor Johnston
Jake: Corbin Bleu

Once again, you do not have to! I obviously drop their hair/eye colour in the story but honestly it doesn't change the plot so...

Playlist for this story ~

These are songs that influenced the story, are featured in the story, or just songs I listened to while writing! Feel free to ignore these but I pride myself in my fabulous music taste, so take a listen if you'd like!

Author's note ~

This story is a friends to lover's romance, featuring cringe scenes and smut, so this is a warning to all of you. Beware.

I started writing the story last summer, when I was looking for a good friends-to-lovers story with smut and a plot line. I couldn't find anything that I wanted to read and though, you know what? I'll do it myself.
So I wrote and wrote and for about 4 months straight I was posting weekly or even daily. Until I reached chapter seventy-three. Then I gave up.

But now I'm back, and here to finish what I began.

This week, I went through my story from start to finish to correct my spelling or grammar, without changing the plot line.

I hate a large part of this story. But hey, I promised I wouldn't change the storyline.

Maybe one day you'll get a complete renewal, sequel, or spin-off - but don't take my word for it! We all know how untrustworthy I am when it comes to posting.

If you're new here, great. I really hope you like this story!

If you've been here with me while I was first posting, welcome back! I am so sorry for the eight months wait! Thank you all for your votes, comments and messages, because you guys are the reason I came back to finish this!

I'm sure most of you have skipped this part, and to be honest I wouldn't blame you, so I won't ramble on anymore.

Welcome to my first completed story! I hope you enjoy!
