Cameron Post from The Miseducation of Cameron Post, and Mike from Far From Xanadu
Ship name: Camerike

-They are both highschool-aged lesbians who have known for awhile that they are gay but are still sort of figuring themselves out.
-They both lost their parents and are lamenting that loss.
-Neither of them end up with anyone in the books that they are in, because the girls they had crushes on are straight.
-They are both from small midwestern towns where people aren't too open about being gay.
-They could really be there for each other when no one else is, Mike has a goal in life and could inspire Cameron to develop her own, and Cameron could turn to Mike for help if she has nowhere else to go (we never really see what happens after she escapes from the correctional facility, but it's safe to assume that she's not going back to her aunt who sent her there).
