Introduction

"I hate you," he said.
"Not nearly as much as I hate you," I shot back.
"Good."
Before I could fire off another insult, Hayden King kissed me.
I should have pushed him away.
Instead, I kissed him back.
Gabriella Adams has spent the last ten years trying to prove one thing. Hayden King is the most arrogant, infuriating boy on the planet. As the school's golden football captain, he has everything she cannot stand. The popularity. The confidence. The ego. Hating him has become second nature.
Then one reckless night changes everything.
Hayden proposes a simple arrangement. No romance. No feelings. No strings attached. They can keep pretending to hate each other in public while secretly giving in to the attraction neither of them wants to admit.
It sounds easy.
Until stolen kisses become late night conversations. Pranks turn into protection. Jealousy replaces indifference, and the boy she swore she would never fall for begins revealing the side of himself no one else gets to see.
But secrets never stay hidden forever. With jealous exes, complicated friendships, family expectations, and graduation fast approaching, Bree and Hayden must decide whether what they have is only temporary... or worth risking everything.
Can two lifelong enemies survive falling in love, or are some hearts destined to break the moment they stop pretending to hate each other?

Chapter 1

  Bree's POV.

  I groan as bright lights slip into the room. I pushed my face down into my pillow, going back to sleep just to be woken up again by the sound of my mom's voice.

  "Bree, it's Monday. Wake up, or you will be late for school!" my mom shouted from down the stairs.

  Maybe if I don't respond, she'll let me skip school, and I can go back to my beautiful dream. I was this close to making out with Damon Salvatore; I just need to go back and continue where we left off.

  "Gabriella Marie Adams, you better be up and ready for school, or voy a subir y golpear tu trasero." Who was I kidding, because she won't let me stay home?

  Bye for now, Damon; may we meet again.

  I groggily stood up from the bed, dragging my legs toward the bathroom for a quick shower.

  After freshening up, I walked to my closet to take out a blue lace bra with matching pants along with my outfit for the day, which consisted of a black mid-thigh jumpsuit with a bow by the side. I paired it with a white sneaker, a silver pendant, and earrings I got as a birthday gift from my dad last year.

  Ugh, do I hate Monday? Who the hell invented school? Ugh…

  I took my backpack along with my phone and walked out of my room down the stairs to the smell of pancakes.

  "Good morning, Mom." I walked over to where she was and placed a kiss on her cheek.

  "Good morning, sweetie," my mom said. She placed a plate of pancakes with strawberry topping and orange juice. "Eat before you leave for school."

  "Hi Bree, you got up late again." My younger brother, Asher, said as he ate his pancakes,

  "Hey, big guy. I know, I was having the best dream." I ruffled his hair, smiling down at him. I scarfed down my food fast when I heard the sound of a horn from outside, announcing the arrival of my best friend Maddie.

  I rushed outside to where she had parked, getting into the passenger's seat. "Hey Maddie."

  "Hey Bree, how did your weekend go? Sorry, I was able to hang out with you." Maddie asked, driving out of the driveway and heading towards our school.

  "It's okay. Besides, I had an eventful week."

  She snorted out "By eventful, you mean staying up in your room doing absolutely nothing as you binge-watch The Vampire Diaries. Right."

  Damn. She knows me well. I let out a sheepish smile. "You know how much I love that series".

  "Yeah, tell me something I don't know." Maddie replied, pulling up into the parking space, and I tried to hold down my breakfast. East High Academy was built to torture poor, innocent, sweet young souls all in the name of knowledge.

  I stepped out of the car along with Maddie, my backpack strapped around my shoulder safely. I trailed behind Maddie, walking in the direction of the school entrance, when a car drove past me so fast, knocking me off my feet, and I fell flat, my buttocks landing on the ground.

  "Oh my God, Bree, are you okay?" The concern in Maddie's voice could be heard. She linked her hands to mine, lifting me up from the ground.

  It's a good thing I wore a black outfit. I thought to myself.

  I turn to look at the culprit of my dilemma, and lo and behold, guess who stepped out of the car.

  It was none other than my arch enemy, someone who does everything to irritate me to the point of murder.

  Hayden KING.

  With his curly black hair and light green eyes. Tall, broad. Handsome and every girl's dream. Not.

  He was nothing more than a troll.

  He had a victorious smirk on his face as he stood beside his car, clearly enjoying my distress. I flipped him off with a promise to have my revenge.

  Muah……..muah…… I'm going to get him good, and that's a promise.

  The second the bell sounded, the hall was filled with students rushing towards their last class of the day. I pushed and shoved students out of the way, especially the ones standing there like they owned the school.

  Like, come on, get your ass out of the way; I've got places to be.

  I finally got to my locker, grabbing the things I needed. I was not planning on making a second trip back to my locker amidst the crowd of students. That would be so stressful.

  I make it to my last class for the day. It is my last year in high school, and I have five more months to go before I'm out of this prison called school. Don't get me wrong; I do well in all my subjects, but that doesn't mean I enjoy coming here.

  I went directly to the back of the room and noticed Sofie already sitting at our table. She's more of a reserved type of person, and you can tell by her dark appearance.

  Her soft black hair clashes with her pale skin, her dark eye shadows, and her dark lipstick, which screams back off. Making her less approachable.

  "Hey Bree, hey Sofie," Maddie greeted, taking a seat right beside me. "I hate math; how is it any of my business what the relationship is between x and y?"

  "I have no idea, but it seems important if they are willing to teach us." Sofie shrugged her shoulders, siding with Maddie.

  "How do you do it, Bree?" Maddie asked.

  "It's not like I have any other choice; I need a good grade to get into Harvard; you know how my dad is." I sighed, thinking about my dad. My dad is very strict and really takes good grades seriously, unlike my mom. He had gone on a business trip and will be back in two weeks.

  "Well, it's true. I don't know what I would do if any of my parents were that strict on grades." Maddie said.

  Our chatter was cut short when Mr. Anderson, the math teacher, came in. He stood at the head of the classroom and said, "Sit down, guys; I need to take the attendance." Following his order, the class went quiet.

  Twenty minutes into the period, the door swung open, and just like that, every girl in the room became alert. Checking to make sure their hair and makeup were still intact.

  I rolled my eyes at this, not because of the girls primping themselves. But because of the person standing at the edge of the door.

  And in walked the three Musketeers: Daniel Parker, Dylan Reeves, and last but not least, Hayden King.

  The three Greek gods of the school, with Hayden being the hottest—not that I will ever admit that to him.

  The teacher cleared his throat. "Nice of you three to join us."

  They strolled in like they had no care for the world, walking down the hall to sit in their very own seat, which happens to be the back of ours.

  "Hey, babe," Dylan whispered, placing a quick peck on Maddie's cheek.

  "Hey, where have you guys been?" Maddie asked.

  "We skipped the fourth period and just got back." Dylan replied.

  It was silent for some time; we were all focused on the board, jotting down what was being taught, until someone thought it was a wise decision to kick my seat constantly to the point of frustration.

  "What...?" I whisper it out.

  "I must say, princess, that was one hell of an iconic fall this morning." A smug smile graces his face.

  I scowled at him and said, "I bet your brain feels good as new, seeing as you never use it."

  "It must be difficult for you to exhaust your entire vocabulary in one sentence," he replied cockily.

  The sound of the bell indicated the end of lecture for the day, and I slowly turned back to face Hayden with a sickly sweet smile on my face. "Believe me, I would really love to insult you, but I'm afraid I won't do as well as nature did."

  I took my things and stood up, walking out of the class with Maddie and Sofie.

  "You two just never change," Sofie says with a shake of her head.

"You want my forgiveness?" he asked, my voice dropping to a dangerous timbre.

Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.

"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.

My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.

My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...

Three years ago, to fulfill the wish of his grandmother, I was forced to marry Derek Wells, the second son of the family that had adopted me for ten years. He didn't love me, but I had secretly loved him all along.

Now, the three-year contractual marriage is about to end, but I feel that some kind of sentiment has developed between Derek and me that neither of us is willing to admit. I'm not sure if my feelings are right, but I know that we can't resist each other physically...
