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

I smoke one cigarette before I finish my beer and walk upstairs to get ready for the party. After I come out of the shower I have a missed call from Zoe, so I call her back.

"Hi babe, what are you doing?" her voice rings through the phone and I sit down on my bed in my underwear.

"I’m just getting dressed, when are you going to be there?"

"In an hour or so. Is that bitch Nicole invited too?" she asks and I clench my teeth, because I hate it when she talks shit about Nicki.

I let out a ‘mhm’ to let her know that Nicki will be there too.

"Hm, okay, which means I need to dress up better than her." She contemplates over the phone and I listen to her rummage through some stuff on the other line.

"Why do you need to compete with her?" I ask as I look through my closet for something to put on.

"Because I want everyone to know that I’m better for you than her."

I sigh. Not this again. "How many times do I have to tell you-"
