Eastlake Stories

One boy is all it took for Melanie Miller to remember.

"It's only a matter of time before you fall for me, Gumdrop," He whispers in her ear. "What? Because everyone else has already? Hunter, I'm not everyone else..." She assured him. Before anything else could be spoken, he grabbed Chloe's shoulders and pinned her to the wall behind her. His forearms were on each side of her face and his face was only centimeters from her's. "I know you aren't. But I know it'll happen." "And what makes you so sure that I'll magically fall in love with you? How do you know?" She quietly asked. "Because," He mumbled sexily. "I'm falling for you. And for the first time in my life, I'm gonna try like hell to persuade you to go out with me." * * * Chloe Walters and Hunter Moore; sometimes, they seem like polar opposites. Sure, they were both smart and insanely good at baseball. Each of them had a 'perfect life'. But it was nearly impossible to think about their similarities when there's so many differences. She was selfless and caring towards almost everyone. He was selfish and arrogant towards many. She wasn't well-known until she took her position as the pitcher on the boy's baseball team. He was already the most popular guy in school before he took his position as the pitcher on the baseball team. She had always been heartbroken. He had always been a heartbreaker. A rivalry like Chloe and Hunter's is unique. It follows them off the field and affects their own lives. So when their worlds collide, will their lives come crashing down? Or will it rise up above everything?
