They've despised each other since childhood. Arguing all the time and disrupting everything. It is pretty obvious Brianna Rose Williams and Ashton Rowan Webster hate each other. She was always nice to everyone, everyone but him and that's what angered him. Because no one saw her "true evil side" and he wanted to prove that she wasn't the angel everyone saw her as. He was cold and ruthless from the start. Obviously still an angel infront of adults but as she claimed, he was 'the devil in disguise.' They liked riling each other up and found everything to fight about: getting higher grades or just proving how "nice" they really were. Their childish feud started at the age of six but even after ten years, can they learn to get along?

Emery Ashford had a smart mouth. She was known for it. As an outgoing teenager Emery was always hanging out with friends and with a lack of filter she always said what was on her mind. Especially if it had to do with that irritative jock. She hated him with every fiber in her body. She hated his charming nature, his arrogance, his lack of care, and the way he got on her nerves. But the thing she hated most, although she'd never admit it, is that she would stick up for him. Not like he ever needed it. She wanted nothing more than to get away from him. But it's completely impossible. He lived right across the street. Everything about senior year had been going smoothly until, Bang. Jackson Riley had a pretty mouth. Pretty face too.
