♡♡♡ Natasha smith was always known as the 'quiet girl', she has a tight circle of childhood friends, and spends her days buried in books. Due to her anxiety she's always struggled making friends and putting herself out there but now's the perfect opportunity to learn how too. Ezra white was your typical bad boy, resting bitch face, lots of tattoos, has a motorbike and hates everyone except his friends. Ezra has always been Nat's number 1 protector, always there when she needs him. Now there's another thing about these two childhood best friends that they don't know about each other. They've both been in love with each other since they could remember but are both too scared and stubborn to admit it to one another. Them and the rest of their friends all make it into NYU and are about to move into their new apartments. New school year, new environment, possibly new friends? So many new opportunities are about to rise, new challenges, new people. So where does that leave the two oblivious in love idiots? ♡♡♡ "You know I'd never let anything happen to you sweetheart. I've always got your back." He comes and sits next to me, he also leans his back against the headboard next to me. "Even when I annoy you?" A small smile threatens my lips. "Even when you annoy me." "Even when I eat the last slice of pizza?" "Even when you eat the last slice of pizza." He's now full on smirking at me, so much I can see his dimples. "I'm guessing you're staying?" I looked up at him slightly. He gives me a smile before looking through my draws finding my snacks and tv control. "You bet your sweet ass I am." I let out a laugh as he turned on the tv. I also snatch my blue sour patch kids from him. Knowing him he'd eat all of them. ♡♡♡
