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

Someone in the front raises their hand and he sighs with relief when he says their name.

"Can people be afraid of bad emotions too?"

"Yes, of course they can. Emotions can be both pleasant and unpleasant. Can anyone tell me some effects of Animotophobia?"

No one raises their hand, so Mr. Cooper sighs, clasping his hands together. "Some symptoms may be nausea, rapid heartbeat-"

"Then we’re all Animephobic." Jake says and the class laughs.

"Yes, Mr. Kennedy, you’re right. We’re all animotophobic in our own ways."

Jake shoots him a sassy smile and Mr. Cooper shakes his head as he continues. "Also loss of control and sense of reality, as well as excessive thoughts. Knowing these are some symptoms and effects, how would you imagine this individual?"

Tall, fake blonde with blue eyes and chicken legs.

"Behaviorally speaking." Mr. Cooper adds when he sees people looking at each other.
