    Dana Burkey

    I graduated college in 2009 with a degree in theater and a minor in creative writing. No ideas I had seemed to stick until I really dove into the work of YA. I love reading, and now writing, YA stories. I look forward to sharing more of the ideas with readers in the near future. In the mean time I live in Washington State in a little cabin in the woods with my cat Cato. I work full time at a kids camp, and spend my free time doing community theater and adventuring in nature!

      JUST PRETENDING

      Are you okay? Josh asked as he watched my face.

      I nodded my head a little, trying to release the breath I was holding. My eyes followed Nick until he left the coffee shop.

      Do you know him? Josh had turned and was watching Nick leave hand in hand with a girl in a green summer dress.

      I nodded my head again as I took a sip of my iced coffee. Although my throat was suddenly dry, the drink was more to buy me some time. Setting my cup on the table, I knew it was time to do some talking.

      That's Nick. From last summer.

      Thankfully that was enough for Josh to catch somewhat up to speed.

      Last summer was the best and worst summer of my life. After moving to a brand new town in time for school to end before I could make a single friend, I was shocked to find out the neighbors at my family’s new duplex not only had a kid my age living there, but that kid was the most attractive guy I had ever met! Nick was a foot taller than me and built like the baseball player he was. His skin was tan from being outside all baseball season, his blond hair bleached from the sun. The best, however, was his dark blue eyes. They were almost navy, reminding me of cooling summer water I wanted to dive into so much after feeling my pulse race after the first time I met him.

      Nick was staying at his dad’s place for the summer while his mom was off enjoying the Caribbean with her new husband. He was just as new to town as I was, with just as many friends. This was all it took for us to start spending every second together. As an only child with parents trying to settle in a new town, I was desperate for time outside the house, and if it was with someone as amazing as Nick, all the better.

      We spent every day of summer together. We went to the lake, wandered around the mall, and even made a few friends that would invite us to fun camp fires or pool parties. By the end of the summer, I was certain Nick was going to ask me to be his girlfriend, even if he was headed back to his mom's place over a 5-hour drive away. I could not have been more wrong.

      Nick was sad when he left, so I assumed it was because he shared the feelings I sent his way each day. But, just a month after leaving I watched with tears as
