𝐵𝐸𝑇𝑊𝐸𝐸𝑁 𝑇𝐻𝐸 𝐿𝐼𝑁𝐸𝑆 | STACEY MCGILL

Everyone in their friend group gets along-except for Drew Walker and Stacey McGill. And no one even remembers why. Maybe it's the constant bickering, maybe it's the eye-rolls, or maybe it's just the way they refuse to be in the same room without making it everyone's problem.

Drew is loud, funny, and impossible to ignore. He's always got a smart remark ready, always acting like nothing gets to him-especially not Stacey. Stacey is sharp, unbothered, and way too good at pretending he doesn't exist... even when he's the only one she can't stop thinking about.

They're opposites in every way-but stuck in the same friend group, the same hangouts, the same late-night group chats. And when a few unexpected moments start chipping away at the wall between them, neither of them is ready for what's underneath all the teasing and tension.

Because maybe it was never hate to begin with.
Maybe it's something else entirely.
