Thea was a ghost. No one noticed her - not even when people continuously knocked her over- but that was how she preferred it. Though Thea came from a very well known and even wealthier family, she always seemed to blend in. Just how she liked it.
Jax, on the other hand, had many friends. Some would consider him popular, others wouldn't. He was a very confident guy, who didn't mind the spotlight, but wouldn't demand it either, thinking that he was a modest guy.
Jax and Thea were both two complete strangers, with not even a few words passed between the two in the four years they had been in high school together. The only possible thing they had in common was their lessons. They were both in the highest set, meaning they were a few of the smartest in their year. So, when faced with the difficult task assigned by their English teacher, they are forced to talk, get to know each other, and find a way to tolerate each other's flaws- Thea's social anxiety and Jax's endless antics.
And, yet, though Thea would deny it, the only way she would be able to tolerate him through the painful months to come, was through his looks. Thea often felt a little physical attraction towards Jax, but of course, never pursued it.
"It's just a physical attraction," Thea moaned to her friend. "And only that. Nothing more; nothing less."
So, when her attraction begins to progress and develop in ways Thea couldn't understand, she did all she could to stop it. Jax was trouble, an unholy force, one might say.
Maybe a kind that Thea couldn't stop; couldn't possibly deal with.

"Is that Marcus? Marcus as in, from our High School Marcus!" Casey squeaked.
I spun around, not quite believing her, but there he was. He strode through the school like he owned it and my god, he could've. He'd changed over the four years he'd been gone.
It was like god himself had carved him from a statue. His cheekbones could cut a finger and a jaw that could slice a hand. He was taller, more muscular. He looked nothing like the boy that went away. He wore a blacket jacket and ripped jeans, his grey eyes studied the school as every female studied him.
Suddenly, they slipped past every other person's eyes and landed on mine. No surprise etched his face, it was like he didn't recognise me. Until I saw the corner of his mouth lift up.

Best friends, Diana and Marcus planned to do everything together. They would go to college and live in the same dorm room, they would always be best friends.
But, Marcus went away.
Without expecting him to return, Diana uses her heartbreak to change her life. She becomes popular in college..
Then one day, he shows up.
But he's changed, he's darker, more silent and definitely a lot more hotter. He'd grown taller, his face sharper and he drew eyes from every woman on campus, even the guys. He spoke to no one and didn't even acknowledge her until she spoke to him.
But something was very off. Very off, indeed.
