"We are all just walking each other home"
- Ram Dass
When Zach moves into his new residence, the girl next door takes an instant dislike to him. Trying to bridge the gap, unknown to the wood that built it, he ends up testing her tolerance more and more.
He has a purpose coming to town, and maybe a push from the indifferent, short-tempered neighbour is all he needs to fulfil it. Between the push and pull, when the two eventually clash, food fights, rage rooms, and sneaky attempts at assistance enter the picture.
Two parallel paths, two individual journeys. What are the consequences when they join hands?

Cynical Souls
COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.Complete
