Summer On The Bluffs Novels & Stories

Those moments in the utility closet were the last I saw of him. My friends and I spent the summer basking in the sun, grilling, and playing in the backyard. We would have some plan or another every weekend, everything from attending concerts to holding water gun tournaments—in which Betty eventually arose as the undefeated champion—to barbecues filled with the scent of smoked meat and cold beer. All in all, it was an idyllic summer; late nights catching fireflies in mason jars, reading in shafts of sunlight, sewing in my little attic room.

With just seven days left until the college entrance exam, the high school's PA system suddenly crackled to life during the morning break. “My name is Lily Smith. I’m a senior. Before I graduate, I’d like to confess my feelings to my crush.” Inside the classroom, every eye instantly locked onto Jack. The room exploded into rowdy cheers and teasing. Jack felt his face burn as his heart hammered against his ribs. After all, he had spent three whole years cracking jokes to help his childhood friend, Lily, overcome the deep dark pit of her depression. On her eighteenth birthday, she had even initiated their first kiss. “You were the light that pulled me out of the darkness. I hope that once

Mandy York, my girlfriend, was practically a migratory bird that always flew away during summer. Every year, during July and August, which were the hottest months of the year, she would fly off and disappear from the face of the earth. She said that it was because her company gave her a special project abroad that required absolute secrecy from her. She was also not to contact anyone during that period of time. Even when I got into a car accident last year and lay in the ICU for two months, she never called to ask about me. Plenty of times, I had comforted myself and endured the harsh summer alone. One day, I accidentally saw the social media account of a friend of mine living abro

“Lots of teenagers and young people.” “Takes two usually to carry the balsa wood boards due to the weight. The teenagers flock here during the summers and weekends with their siblings, boy and girlfriends,” Blink waggled his bushy brows at Evelyn. “They surf the waves until it’s too dark to see, then play guitar, sing and drink by the campfires before they sneak off in pairs to find someplace more secluded.” Blushing, Evelyn focused on her food and let their captain ramble on.

Summer rain sucked. It wasn't cold, or refreshing. It didn't help you cool off from the heat that the summer was going to bring. All it seemed to do was make BlackCreek ten times more humid than it ever was. Unless you were a kid and having mud fights while trying to avoid any screaming adult that had to clean up after you, it wasn't fun. Ah, those were the days though.

Nobody knows this, but I have a bathing suit on underneath my clothes, just in case I’m lucky enough to get another swim with the mermaids or dolphins. When we reach the top of the bluffs above the beach, the fog has thickened greatly. Only a narrow strip of water is visible. There’s no horizon this morning, only a place where the gray water merges with the slightly lighter gray cloak of fog. The low rumblings of the invisible surf tell us the waves are small, which is certainly good. When we get to the edge of the beach we should be able to see a bit farther out into the water.

Who's first? I grumbled and flopped back onto the bed. The silky comforter surrounded me. "Blair." Brick whistled softly. "The Playboy, huh?" "This should be interesting." "That's one word for it," I murmured into my blanket. "Hey," Zeke said. He pulled on my arm till I sat up. "It may not be so horrible. Blair isn't all evil. "Remember that time at the lake?"

Blair had been laughing and joking. He had pushed Chad into the water, clothing and all. For a minute, he appeared... human. Caring. His chuckle w

Remembering that she left her phone in the next tent, Summer immediately jumped out. "That must be Mommy and Daddy! They want to tell me that they're on the cruise ship!" The others rushed to follow her. When they arrived at the next tent, Summer was already sitting cross-legged with her phone pressed to her ear. "Mommy, Daddy! Have you arrived at the cruise ship?" "Hello, Honey. Isn't it still early there? Why are you so excited?" Sky asked. "Because I knew today would be a fun day, Mommy. Just like yesterday. I had a great time here. I did a lot of experiments with River. Then, we all gathered in the backyard. I, River, Uncle Brandon, and Aunt Briony slept in a tent."
