NaNoWriMo is back for another year, and as an attempt to
finally put this story to rest, it has again become my project! Although not nearly as prepared as last
year, a sudden urge to tell Ellery's story has given me the confidence to reach the 50,000 word goal! I
hope everyone enjoys reading the teenage angst as much as I enjoy writing it.

Ellery-May Wheeler and Zachary Hanson's List of Rules For Friends With Benefits
1. No venturing below the waist unless discussed prior to any make out sessions
2. Relationships with external parties are permitted on the condition that new relationships are discussed freely, and no cold sores or contageous diseases are transmitted
3. No one is informed on the new level of relationship reached between the two aforementioned parties; this rule is modifiable on the basis that Ellery-May Wheeler can find no more exciting summer romance...
Ellery is more than ready for her senior year arrive. With steady grades, the world's cutest boyfriend and the best friends a girl could have, she felt as if there was nothing standing in her way to making her last year of school her most memorable. But fate begins to tamper with her plans. When Ellery finds herself tragically dumped, making out with her best male friend on an all too regular basis, and letting stupid summer dares amongst her gal pals get in the way, she doesn't know how she can possibly turn her senior year back in the right direction. It doesn't help the matter any that her cheating father won't leave her alone and her mother's thousandth fiance seems to be hanging around for good.
Follow Ellery through the mishaps and misfortunes of friendships, family and silly little school yard crushes. What begins as any average summer ... could very well lead to a year she'll never forget.
