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 watch him leave and sigh before I can bring myself to get up from the bed. When I exit the room, I bump into Niall who’s just coming out of another. Of fucking course.

I don’t say anything and he doesn’t say anything as he walks a bit behind me towards the stairs. I can’t take it, so I decide to reach out and grab the first doorknob I see, hoping it leads to a bathroom. I open it, and thank God, it does.

Niall stops, which tells me that this was a bad idea because that’s where he was also going.

"Is it urgent?" I ask, not even looking at him.

"Yeah, same." I lie and walk into the bathroom to get his towel.

When I hand it to him, I take a moment to actually look at him. His hair is disheveled and his lips are red, and he looks just like he did each time we were ‘just friends’.

"Oh, I already did." He says and it comes out in a tone that I know is supposed to be hurtful.
