Ronnie

Nicki Palmer would describe herself in three words: adventurous, ambitious, and fun. She's not your average girl; she gets into trouble at school, doesn't do what her parents ask of her, and likes to sneak out at nights. She can't wait for high school to end so she can pursue her favourite hobby: dancing. 

Niall Harrison is a troublemaker who happens to hate her. He would describe Nicki in three words: selfish, spoiled, and annoying. The two of them have never been able to stand each other, ever since Rey moved to a public school 3 years ago.

All they have to do is get through their last year of school without killing each other before they will finally get their freedom. But that could be a little tough, since they're stubborn, tough, and strong-willed. Their differences may collide, but at the same time, they sort of complete each other. Too bad hate is much more powerful than love.

Or is it?

Cold Water

It’s like I’ve seen a fucking light, like the universe just told me everything I ever wanted to know about this situation. He already moved on with Zoe, a long time ago actually, and I was too stubborn to admit that he had figured it out long before I did.

Suddenly, a smile covers my face and I feel a wave of happiness and completion rush through me, like I’ve been reborn or something. Even though I haven’t completely moved on from him and even though I would say no if he came up to me and wanted to kiss me, now I understand. It sort of feels like the closure we never actually had. Now, the words ‘drop it’, said with such indifference while looking me straight in the eyes sort of make sense.

I look around to see if there is anyone I can share this revelation with, but my closest friends are already off down on the dancefloor with their drinks in hand. I spot Chris who would definitely listen and understand, but he’s too busy whispering something in Zayn’s ear.
