"He is the most bi-polar and blunt guy with that annoying sarcastic wit of his, I've ever met!" What she thinks of him. "She is the most annoying brat I've ever met in my whole life, who just doesn't know how to mind her own Goddamn business!" What he thinks of her. Two different people hating each other's guts after their very unexpected, unusual first meeting, despite the fact that they're neighbour's. She hates him. He hates her too, or that's what they both think. She's careless, fun spirited, party animal girl. He's serious, blunt, never cares about anyone's feelings and knows exactly what he's doing with his words and actions. She's a girl who checks out guys, but never falls for their charms. He tries his best to avoid any type of interaction with girls - that is until Alexandria comes along. She learned long time ago not to ever trust anyone wholeheartedly; especially a guy and a certain blue eyed one was the cause for it - no one knows what happened between then, except for a certain someone - almost a stranger. Never mind others, he didn't trust himself. She doesn't have a very interesting past. He has a very dark past, which he's not very content to share with. So despite all the differences, what really brings them together? Because, the only thing that is in common between them would probably be the fact that her-not-so-interesting-past, and his oh-so-dark-past-which-he-never-likes-to-share-with-anyone, somehow connects. And that was all that needed for, whatever relationship they had, to go down the hill.
