Falling for you

"Nate smith is the total opposite of the "good guy" he's cocky and arrogant said Emilia, I don't understand how someone could be so..so stupid and self conscious.. he pisses me off so much and to think I would ever like him is far from it..."

"oh Emilia? Yeah she's something.. good something? idk about that but definitely something.. Nate exclaimed, shes spunky and has a sharp tongue that could kill someone's ego so fast..I like that about her.. but let's be honest she's kinda crazy sometimes. Living next to her All these years will give you insight on things other people don't see. Either way, I like her she's you could say different.."

In the bustling halls of Fairview High School, where gossip flowed like a never-ending river, there was no pair more infamous than Nate Smith and Emilia Thompson. They lived next door to each other, yet their animosity was as thick as the wall separating their bedrooms.

Nate, a 17-year-old baseball star with a heartbreaker smile, basked in the glory of popularity. He was the hero of Friday night games and the center of attention at every party. Emilia, on the other hand, was a 16-year-old bookworm with a penchant for drama. She was content with her small circle of friends and the worlds she found within the pages of her beloved novels.

Their paths collided daily at school, where Nate's cocky swagger and Emilia's disdainful eye rolls were the stuff of legend. Nate always had to tease Emilia while Emilia put up with his annoyance up until she was done..

But behind closed doors, the neighbors' lives were more intertwined than they'd ever admit. Late at night, they'd hear the faint sounds of Nate practicing his pitches in the backyard, while Emilia immersed herself in the words of classic plays. And unbeknownst to either of them, those shared walls witnessed moments of vulnerability that neither cared to admit.
