Together We Were Static

"It won't work out," I whispered as he pulled me closer, arms wrapped around me in a secure hug. "The others-" He put a finger on my lips and looked at me with those eyes, and I found myself rendered speechless, trapped not by his arms but by the swirling emotions inside of me.

"Everything will be fine," He reassured me, lightly tugging on a lock of my hair before continuing. "The others worry about you, we all do."

Ria Green and Zachary Peterson were opposites. Zachary was bold, outgoing, almost completely fearless and perfect in every way while still remaining human. Or, that is what Ria thought of him. He was everything she wasn't, he was the life of the party while she struggled to remain calm by the walls. He could charm any girl at school while she was too afraid to talk to another boy. But when a classic trope is in play and the two opposites are forced to work together, they find that they have a lot more in common than you would think.

In a world full of constant, dynamic change, it's a struggle to stay true to yourself. It's a struggle to stay static.
