Octavia Thornton has hated Axel Kingston from the minute he spilt his red jungle juice down her favourite white dress during freshman year.
She declared them enemies, but you what made it more exciting?

I can't help the smile that makes it's way across my lips as I stare at her watching the sunset, I don't think I'd ever admit this to her— but this is actually the first date I've ever been on in my life.
I was so fucking nervous when I asked her out when we was in the library studying, I was afraid that she'd say no and when she said yes my heart skipped a beat or two.
I remembered that one time when she was at the house, she was standing by my window watching the sunset and muttered ever so quietly how she loved watching the sunset— she looked so fucking happy just standing there and I knew I had to bring her here, I knew she would love it.
I don't know what possessed me to make a charcuterie board but I was so glad I did, when I saw her face light up at the sight of it I was happy and when I told her I had made it, an unknown feature crossed her face.
I was also kind of thankful none of the guys were home when I was making the board, I didn't want them questioning me and I knew Hunter would have something to say about it because I don't date and I most certainly don't do cute things.
If he had seen me making the board and then went over to their apartment, i know he would've put two and two together and made four equaling me and Rose going on a date.
He was my bestfriend, I loved him— although I'd never admit that to him but he knew when I was lying or withholding the truth.
Which is why I'm surprised that Rose and I have managed to go this long— almost a year without anybody finding out about us.
I liked it.
It was nice keeping it a secret from everyone's prying eyes.
Privacy is power. What people don't know, they can't ruin.
I never in my life would've ever pictured me being on this date let alone setting up this date, trying to make it something unforgettable, for her.
Never in my life would I have ever imagined being on this date with the most beautiful girl I've ever laid my eyes on.
The girl who used to hate my guts, the one who punched me in the face and called me a cunt.
Seeing her happy made me happy.
My stomach does that twirling thing.
"What's on your bucket list?" Her voice startled me slightly.
"Being part of the NFL is number one on my list." I admit. "Then it's silly stuff like go ice skating, learn how to bake without burning it or fucking the mixture up..."
She turns her body towards me, leaning her back against the fence. "You've never been ice skating?" She asks shocked.
"Nope."
"Wow." Her eyes widen.
"I was never really an adventuress child, I stuck to what I knew and was too afraid to venture out into new grounds." I admit.
