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

Before I can answer, the doorbell rings.

"Saved by the bell." Bryan laughs and stands up from the floor.

Zayn opens the door. Lottie is there with a couple of her other friends.

"We just came up to say that it’s started for like ten minutes and everyone’s taking photos because the photographer is leaving in fifteen." She says, so everyone stands up and downs what is left in their cups.

We grab our stuff before we leave in groups, and through some weird alignment of the planets, I end up with Niall, Zoe, Leah and Jason, waiting for the elevator. Maybe walking down eight flights of stairs in heels isn’t that bad.

"Shit, I forgot my phone." Zoe says and I hand her the keycard. "See you downstairs baby."

The elevator dings and we get in it. I press the button for the lobby and then stand up straight. There’s an awkward silence for a couple of seconds, in which I stare at myself in the mirror.
