Mixed feelings

Yasmine and William have spent most of their childhood despising each other, evident by their constant trades of passionate mocking and insults. For some reason, William never gave them a chance to get along due to his misbehavior and disrespect. Or maybe it was just the rebellious phase of seven-year-old boys? Yasmine, who intentionally didn't mind being friends with a person like him in the first place, could not keep up with his rude demeanor, which is why she always seems to fight back. She won't let anyone disrespect her, and that was one of her strong personality traits.

Lucky she was a sight, because that saved her tons. Because of her beauty, William could never resist helping her whenever she needed it. Every time she got injured while playing in the park with some other neighboring kids, he was always the first one to return to her with a med-kit in hand and heal her silently. Or whenever she cried, he always gave her the shoulder she needed to cry on, even though he hated it. It was like a force making him do things like these, it wasn't out of his intentions...or was it?

Yasmine, with her artistic mind, felt the need to repay him, since these moments rarely occurred and she cherished them wholeheartedly. The next day, she would always return with a hand-crafted gift for him, but she would be reluctant with her words in fear of his reaction. To her satisfaction, he always accepted them without a dramatic insult, but not so kindly either.

Because of that, their relationship was always a mix, a fumbled piece of art with mixed puzzle pieces. Even though they always entitled each other as "enemies", they didn't seem to feel like that. How will their relationship grow from here as little kids?
