The Tofino Tally

The rules of the Tofino Tally are simple:
No kissing.
No sex.
No falling in love.

Lizzy
Bray Sterling is a chronic over-achieving competitive ass. Although, so am I, bringing the chronic illness into chronically over-achieving. While I may be set for a life full of pain, dwindling savings, and day after day in our small coastal town, Bray is heir to the Sterling family empire. Everything he's ever done can be explained by a stereotypical plot diagram. Trying to put an end to the Tofino tally was the one time he didn't play into the cliché.
The tally, as the seniors before us coined it, is a high stakes silly game of lust, desire, and money. Everything Bray loves, but for some reason didn't play into five years ago. I would re-evaluate my pseudo-bullying if his previous choices weren't screwing current me over. Because of his stupid act of not hosting the tally, he's been put into the game as a competitor... with me as his partner. All I have to do is not give into temptation.
Easy, right?

Bray
Lizzy is a chronic over-achieving competitive ass... who I cannot get out of my head. Lucky for her, I bring those same traits to each argument. Between my father's impossible standards and how her contempt for me is not an act, she should be the last thing on my mind, at least that's what I tell myself.
I was never one for self discipline.
With my father's plans for me to take over the family business looming over my head, bantering with her is the only thing that brings me relief. However, in two months Lizzy won't be there for me to rile up whenever I feel compelled to see her blush. The plan was to get a grip, but now we've both been thrown into the tally and my control is very close to snapping.
All I have to do is not give into temptation.
I am screwed.
