Stevie is an odd duck. Not literally a duck, she's a girl. But she's not girly at all. She's kind of sort of really boyish. It seems really cliche but it's true that she does indeed fall in love with the boy who moves across the street from her. But both of them are kind of sarcastic assholes to each other. This isn't hate turned love, this is 7th graders who refuse to love. And they will either fall in love or fall like stars.
