**hate the way you know me** is a vinnie hacker x demitra kalogeras fanfic about childhood friends who were once impossible to separate, until fame, distance, and growing up turned them into strangers with too much history.

before vinnie was famous, demitra knew him as the boy who teased her too much, stole her snacks, walked beside her on late summer nights, and could tell what she was thinking before she even said it. but when vinnie's life started changing, so did everything between them. texts went unanswered, visits stopped happening, and demitra eventually left la with the kind of hurt she never fully explained.

years later, demitra comes back different - prettier, colder, more confident, and harder to read. she isn't the same girl vinnie remembers, and she refuses to let him act like he still has the right to know her. but vinnie notices the little things everyone else misses: when her smile is fake, when she's uncomfortable, when she's pretending not to care. and demitra hates it, because no matter how much she's changed, he still knows where to look.

with old memories resurfacing, jealous tension, messy friend groups, social media rumors, late-night conversations, and people from both of their lives getting involved, demitra and vinnie are forced to face the truth: sometimes the person you try hardest to forget is the only one who still understands you.

a story about growing apart, coming back changed, and realizing some feelings don't disappear - they just wait.
