Unexpectedly Nora and Sebastian find themselves befriending each other, something pulls them together. But, this sudden friendship turns into something so deep, so trusting and so beautiful that first glances end up meaning nothing.

CONSUME by superdwy

Kameron Springfield is determined to get through her senior year of high school successfully, and drama-free. Well, maybe it doesn't help that her next-door neighbor of 10 years was also her life-long nemesis. And sure, maybe one accidental, drunken night between them changes things. Those feelings of hate she once had for him are now spontaneously transformed into lust. However, Kameron's convinced that any sparks between them aren't fireworks-- but bombs. And Axel Conynghim is the last boy she'd ever, ever want to consume her thoughts. But no matter how hard she tries, he seems to always do it anyways. So really though, isn't it inevitable?

"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.
