I can't believe I leave for GWU in a week. It's been two weeks since we've been home and right when we got back, Liam and I made sure to spend an entire day hanging out just the two of us to talk about everything that went down in Charleston. He kept apologizing for not supporting my relationship with Noah from the start, but all that matters now is that we've moved on from it. He tried to get me to talk about Noah a few times, but I wouldn't let myself go there. I've actually done a pretty good job distracting myself from thinking about him. That's what my journal is for anyways. Besides my brothers, no one at home knows about Noah, and I plan on keeping it that way.

Allison and Britt are coming to get me in a couple of minutes to go to Ben's end-of-the-summer party. He's been texting me non-stop even though he knows that our relationship is purely platonic.

I opt for a denim romper and espadrille sandals, and throw my hair up in a high pony. I'm just about done with my makeup when I hear the doorbell ring.

When I pass Jacob in the hallway to get the door, he's still in his sweats.

"I thought you were coming to Ben's," I tell him.

"I am," he says. "I'm just not trying to be the first one there."

I roll my eyes at him. "Guess I'll see you there then?"

"You're going now?"

"Yeah, that's Allison and Britt at the door," I say as I make my way down the spiral staircase.

I grab a light jacket from the closet and drape it over my arm before heading towards the door.

I look down at my outfit one more time and iron out the creases on my romper before finally reaching for the handle. But when I open the door it's not Allison and Britt standing there. It's someone else.

"Noah." My jaw drops. "What are you doing here?"

Hi everyone! Firstly, thank you so much for reading my first story. I really hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I did writing it. Secondly, I wanted to give you an update. Initially, I was planning on writing a sequel to 'Summer', but now I'm thinking of either leaving the story as is or writing a few bonus chapters to conclude Sophia and Noah's story. Before I decide, I'd love to know what you think/prefer. Thanks!!

UPDATE!! I've added 14 new bonus chapters to complete Sophia and Noah's story. Does she take him back or does she reject him? Keep reading to find out!
