IN WHICH east high's number one heartthrob finds you in the halls during class time <3333 ----

☆ 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"

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 ✦ eight years in the future. ricky and nini, like their parents, have trained for and entered an elite rebel undercover program. the pair haven't talked since their messy breakup in high school, but what happens when the system partners them to go on an important mission to go undercover and save french royalty? will they fall back in love? or is it too late?
