Alexandrea is just starting her senior year of high school. The past three years were drama free, and she's hoping that this year will be the same so she can walk out of high school easily. But life likes to throw curve balls at you, where ever you go, and Alex's curve ball seems to be the annoyingly cute boy who hates her. The weird thing? They used to best friends in their sandbox days, but growing up seemed to change that.
He used to live across the street from her, and their parents are the best of friends. Now though, he lives in France. Alex hasn't seen, or even spoken to him since their elementary school days, but that's about to change. Over the summer, her family and Alex decided to spend all summer with the annoying boy in France. Great right?
Wrong. From the minute Alex stepped foot into the doorway, he has been nothing but mean to her, and she isn't sure why. When Alex went back home, she was extremely happy to be away from him once and for all- or so she thought.
Imagine her surprise when she walks through the door to her house to see him standing there with suitcases.
*******************
"Fine. I was just going to say I'm sorry for getting you in trouble, but once again, the great Alexandria cuts me off again."
My mouth snaps shut, and I stare at him with wide eyes. I don't cut him off! If anything, he's the one who cuts me off all the time. When we were in France, I could never talk to his parents because he would interrupt and focus the attention away from me.
"Why do you hate me so much?" I question in a whisper. I never did anything to him. From the first day that I met him, I've only been myself. I haven't been mean, I've been really nice. So what's the reason for hating me? Logan steps forward, causing me to step back until my back hits the wall. Even though he isn't touching me, and I could easily step away if I want to, I still felt like I was trapped.
"I don't hate you Lexie. I despise you. There's a difference."
"Fuck you, Springs" - he spats
"In your dreams, Henderson"
"How'd you know?" - he replies, with a smirk on his face.
Jade Springs only had one goal in her life and that was to make it till 20.
See,Jade wasn't really a very happy person. She was quite the opposite. Well if you can call an quiet, socially awkward, no friends and shit grades person happy. And not to mention the fact that her only happiness is reading books and making playlists about them.
James Henderson is the opposite of Jade. He is a very out going person, who would do anything to see his friends happy even if that means that him, himself wouldn't be. Some people think that that's a weakness but James sees it as a very good quality. Of course his biggest rival Jade doesn't think so. Anytime they have an assignment together she would always call him out on that, while James would call her out on her no socialism and her shitty eye bags. What he would not tell her is that he kinda finds them attractive. Very attractive.
Jade and James are fine with never talking to each other but there is one tiny problem. They both have the same two mutual friends. Avery and Xander.
That and the fact that their families are really close. Like really close. When they were kids James's family would come over all the time. But that's not what we're here to talk about. We're here to talk about Avery and Xander, well for now.
Avery and Xander are absolutely crushing crazy with each other. Of course everyone else sees it but them.
Their misscommunication is driving both Jade and James crazy.
One day when they're seated together for an assignment they both can't take it anymore and come up with a plan to get their idiots together. Well more likely a deal. Which one will be able to get Avery or Xander to confess first wins.
But what they don't realise is that they are actually setting themselves up.
*perfect for "better than the movies" lovers! *
