Y/N can’t stand Kaiven Pierce. He’s arrogant, irritating, the captain of the football team, and somehow always finding new ways to get under her skin. Whether he’s teasing her in the hallways, stealing her attention in class, or smirking every time she argues back, Kaiven never seems to leave her alone. Everyone thinks he hates her. What Y/N doesn’t know is that Kaiven’s obsession with her runs far deeper than anyone realizes. And what Kaiven doesn’t expect is for Y/N to slowly start noticing him too—the sweat-soaked jerseys after practice, the bruises from games, the way his eyes always find hers in a crowded room. The more they fight, the harder it becomes to tell the difference between hatred and attraction.
