What great love story doesn't start with two people that absolutely hate each other?



Meet Elijah Quinn. Quiet, composed, and mostly just keeps to himself - your definition of a typical high school nerd. He comes from a financially well-endowed family, to say the least. Always the top achiever in class, he keeps interactions with others to a bare minimum, if not at all, and is completely oblivious to the fact that many girls lust after him.

Now meet Lucas Kim. Your typical high school playboy. He is well aware of the long line of people waiting to get a turn with him and wears that fact with pride. He is usually seen with a group of loud and rowdy boys who walk around like they own the place. He is known to have slept with pretty much all the girls in school.

Two very stereotypical-sounding people in a very stereotypical school setting.

Or so you would think.

Opposites Attract, they said

Robin stood at the door quietly, almost timidly, his eyes shifting around my room with uncertainty. It was the first time I'd seen him so genuinely anxious and unsure of himself. 


"Sorry, I-I couldn't wait," he muttered. 


"No, I mean how'd you know where I live?" 


"Wow," I chuckled humorlessly, going to sit on my bed. "Just go home, Robin. Or better yet, go keep talking shit about me with my parents. At least that'll be more fun that being being stuck with a literal black hole of joy and all things positive." 


He winced, eyes flashing as he finally seemed to register how red my own probably were. He crossed the room, coming to a stop in front of me. 


I stubbornly kept my eyes downcast, feeling tears sting at them yet again, but not wanting him to see how much all that shit really affected me.
