For 12 years, Ethan Fletcher has been the annoying, chaotic boy next door and brother to Kira's best friend... and she hated him... at least, she thought she did.
This story is about becoming friends and falling in love one fond memory at a time... and having loads of fun along the way.
Friendly Dating - Ethan is written from Ethan's point of view and can be read before, during or after this one, but they do contain some spoilers for each other.
Excerpt:
Ethan spills through the gap between my curtains and lands on my floor with a soft grunt.
"You shouldn't leave your window open like that, Kicks," he huffs, getting to his feet. "Something weird could get into your room."
"So I see," I blink at him.

"Well then. That's the first time a girl has ever rejected my close proximity," he said, eyes ablaze with a playful fire.
"You better get used to it," I retorted as I spun on my heel and headed for the school doors that led to the outside.
"I've never met anyone like you before," he called after me, this time, not coming after me.
"I know, Romeo. I'm a special little snowflake," I called back, not turning around.
"You got the 'little' part right there, Princess!" he shouted after me.
I threw up my middle finger back to him and heard him laugh as I exited out the doors rather dramatically.

I'm tired of all those high school stories about a straight-A girl student with the perfect life who falls for the stereotypical Mr. Bad Boy who wears leather black jackets and only has a soft spot for her. That's not how the real world works, sweetheart. I may look like a damsel, but I'm never in distress.

Not me making fun of the "she's not like every other girl" trope <3 o.o :))
I like to think I'm funny. After all:
