i've got feelings i can't hide. 𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇 🔮 gina porter is the perfect, angelic cheerleader who hides behind rude words and one-liners. e.j caswell is the popular dumb jock, forced to take theater for much needed extra credit. there he meets nini salazar-roberts, an innocent ray of sunshine who he just happens to fall for. but along with nini comes-- her best friend since kindergarten, ricky bowen. •.•. cw: mentions/descriptions of eating disorders, anxiety attacks, and internalized homophobia rini + gini + ejini love square au *based off of the joshua bassett song, "best friends (lovers on the side)"

☆ IN WHICH ☆ ricky bowen and nini salazar-roberts hate each other's guts. so, when their secret valentines prompt them to make a list of every single little thing they hate about each other, it's more than easy. it wasn't ricky's idea to get a dollar valentine-he doesn't believe in love. he hates the very thought of it, actually. almost as much as he hates nini. nini, of course, is the opposite (which is just another thing ricky can't stand, she's way too optimistic). she's a hopeless romantic who's been looking for her first love everywhere. little does she know, not every "love" story is a romance. ••••• *lightly based on the movie "10 things i hate about you" and "the half of it"

ricky and nini go to each other for everything. most importantly, they go to each other when their significant others screw up. what happens when those feelings start threading the line between overprotectiveness and jealousy?
