Delena is determined to have a good time at summer camp and forget about her backstabbing ex-best-friend Mei. But when Mei shows up at camp too, suddenly revenge looks a lot more appealing than forgetting.

* * * * *

As far as 17-year-old Delena Torres is concerned, friendship is nothing more than a quick way to get hurt. This has been her mindset for the past two months anyway, ever since her best friend Mei ditched her and started hanging out with her arch enemy.

She's more than ready to spend summer vacation alone-- then her parents surprise her by signing her up for a photography course at Camp Create It, the summer camp she and Mei always dreamed of attending. Still, even if she has to be surrounded by other campers, Del's determined not to get attached to anyone. She'll spend the summer by herself, honing her photography skills and forgetting about Mei. Easy, right?

Maybe, if it wasn't for the fact that her quirky cabin-mate seems deadset on becoming friends. Or if she could stop running into the cute guy from the kitchen staff. Oh, and if she wasn't in the middle of a prank war after one stupid attempt at revenge, since Mei just happened to show up at camp, too.

Yeah, this "lone wolf" thing might be harder than she thought.

Hey everyone! To all my followers and first-time readers alike, thank you so much for clicking on this story! I'm so so excited to start posting it. 

My last story, Oliver Ausman Lives Again, dealt with some pretty heavy stuff and was a bit of a challenge for me to get through as a result. I loved writing it, but there was a certain headspace I had to put myself into that was a little draining. I knew I wanted my next project to be happier, light-hearted, and just plain fun, so here it is: The Art of Being Alone (Together)!

Updates will be twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays! 💚 I hope you guys stick around for the ride 😁
