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

"NI-" he starts but I put a hand up and can’t help but giggle.

He wraps his fingers around my wrist. "You’re high, what are-"

"Leave me the fuck alone already!" I exclaim and some heads turn to look at us. "I told you I wanted to be okay and you always have to go ahead and fuck it up. Well then, I’m done trying to be nice. Just leave me alone. We were better off when we didn’t even know each other that well." I rant and pull my hand out of his grasp, before I let the cigarette drop to the floor and walk away. I’m proud of myself.

The rest of the night goes by quickly, and the drug eventually wears off completely when Jason and I are in a taxi on our way home.

After I finally remove my makeup, which is always my least favorite thing to do after a night out, I change into my pajamas and get into bed, a bit too tipsy to think about everything that happened.

But for once in a very long time, I fall asleep with a smile on my face.
