Neighbors

I hate him. No I don't... I want to scream and yell at him. No I really don't... I want him to suffer the same pain that he put me through when he planted his lips on that bitch's mouth. Don't I?

Jack kissed a girl. Right in front of me. And to think. I thought he might have actually thought of me as something more than a fucking target. Of course I had to be wrong. I was always wrong, that's what almost always ruined my previous relationships.

Ever since the 8th grade, Jack has been a giant bully to me. He's pushed me to the ground. Knocked my books out of my hands. Insulted me, embarrassed me in front of the entire school. I thought he liked me... Before all of this shit started. Am I that unlikeable?

I hate him. No I don't... I want to hurt him. No furiously I don't... I want his life to be miserable. The same misery that he made me endure when he broke my heart. Do I really?

Ethan took a girl to the 8th grade school dance instead of me. His best friend. That made me furious. I think that's why I kissed that girl. Because I was mad, and I wanted him to feel my pain. Whenever I saw him, I got reminded of that day, when my best friend rejected me with everything he had. It made me hurt him. It made me bully him so much, that I could see him crying through his bedroom window. Which just made me angrier. I know he likes me but... Why do I continue to hurt him even though I've known forever that... I love him.

This year, I put my foot down. I say no more to pushing Ethan into lockers. Making him fear me. When all I want from him is to trust me. To know me. To love me. We are neighbors after all. And how hard could it be to make him mine?

This book will be entirely in Ethan's point of view. I may even add Jack's POV if the scene feels right.
