❝WHY ARE YOU STARING AT DIEGO?❞ Klaus tries to tilt his head. "Should I be looking at him, too?" I blink a few times as Diego's head instantly lifts, and he looks at me as I quickly focus on Klaus, heat burning up on my cheeks. "I don't think I was staring. I was just watching to see if he could tie a knot better than me.." I mutter, crossing my arms. "Oh, okay. It just didn't look like that to me." Klaus tried to shrug through the ropes. "Oh, yeah?" A smug look came over Diego's face as he smirked, leaning over the chair to stare at me while he talked to Klaus. "What did it look like, to you?" "Undressing with the eyes." Klaus chuckles to himself. "Okay, seriously?" I uncross my arms, annoyed at this point. "We don't have time for this." "Exactly, yeah, yeah, that's what I'm saying!" Klaus insists. "The world is ending in, like..three days, you guys gotta bone it out before we all die!" Enemies to lovers slow-burn, set in the first season of The Umbrella Academy.

Gillian Anderson and Courtney Carmichael are enemies...more or less. While the pair seem to constantly be at each other's necks nowadays, it wasn't always this way... In fact, the two used to be best friends. They were practically inseparable until that one fateful night in eighth grade. Only, what really happened that night? ••••••••••••••••••••••••• "Court-" I attempt to reach out to her only for her to push my hand away from her and turn to face me. "You should go." She tells me, avoiding my eyes. "Courtney, please." I beg. "Please don't shut me out again. I promise that I won't ever try to kiss you again." The honey-haired girl scoffs. "That's the thing..." she trails off. "The longer that I'm around you, the more that I want you to kiss me." The sapphire-eyed girl admits.

Reece Bremer goes through life with a scowl and cold personality. Jessica Andrews goes through life with a glowing smile and positive outlook. Reece looks at life with dull, judgmental eyes that make him hate the world and the people living in it. Jessica, well... She looks at life through a camera. Literally. They're polar opposites, and that's what sparks Reece's immediate hate for Jessica the moment they meet. All he sees is a girl with the best life, put in the category of those who get everything handed to them on a silver platter. But who says Jessica's life is like that? Just like a photograph, there's more to the story than what you see. Stumbling across one of Jessica's hidden portfolio might reveal that her happiness isn't all that true. Behind that smile and each picture she takes, holds a thousand words of a very big secret - one that Reece is determined to find out. And who knows? It just might change everything between them. cover by dysanic || 2015 watty's winner for talk of the town ||
