"Sooner or later, you'll fall for me, too." Theodore bursts into laughter. "I don't know where your confidence is coming from." Jacob chuckles and says, "I just know." And then it catches Theodore off guard when Jacob adds, "We should be making out right now." Theodore swallows and looks him in the eye. "We should." "And I should be undressing you at this very moment," he continues, "We could stay up all night with our hands on each other and just... forget everything." ****** Meet Jacob and Theodore, the polar opposites within a tight-knit circle of the most esteemed members of society. Jacob, reserved and hard to read, isn't exactly Theodore's biggest fan-unlike everyone else, who's head over heels for the golden boy. However, as they navigate their way through law school, they trip over a connection that sparks a lowkey romance, catching both of them by surprise.

Alan Baker hates Max Winters. There's nothing more to say. Max was everything Alan wanted to be. He just couldn't stop himself from hating him so much that it was hard to even look up at the guy. But what happens when Alan realizes that there's more to the perfectness? Then, it also doesn't help that his heart flips and jumps every time. But, of course, he'd never accept that. --- "Get the fuck away from me." Max sighed, shaking his head. "Dude, when are you going to give up? You hate me, yeah, we get it." "Well, I'm not satisfied so hate me back." Max gulped down his snort. "Sure, okay. I hate you too?" Alan pushed past the front doors of the school, not even giving a glance back. "It's not enough. Hate me harder." --- [This book is proudly presented for entertainment. Don't copy. Don't hate. Don't forget to vote and share.] P.S. This isn't edited and there are edit mistakes. For example, you might catch Max's last name being Nights in the blurb inside the story at the first part, but from the start of the story, it's mentioned as Winters, which is why I changed it here as well. Don't hate on it. Don't be shy to point the edit mistakes out. Don't be rude about it. For those who are here to read the heart leaping, stomach turning story between Alan and Max: Welcome to Hate Me Harder!
