Avery-James, AJ, was the most insufferable woman you had ever met. From the day during freshman year of college when you defended your friend from Avery-James and her friends to now, senior year, you two have never gotten along. Getting into arguments and physical fights with Avery-James caused you two to get into plenty of trouble with the school, but that never stopped either of you from bruising each other.

But all that suddenly changed when you noticed there was a certain feeling that lingered after looking into her eyes and this feeling seemed to be mutual as you started fighting less, merely bumping into each other and stealing glances— or what you thought was a mutual understanding.

You heard rumors of Avery-James talking extremely rudely and aggressively about you. It was news to you after thinking there was mutual understanding to slowly let go of the past. When you saw her in the courtyard, she gave you a soft smirk, which slowed you down from coming in hot until you thought of the rumors again. She could see the look on your face and immediately knew you heard what she said.

“I’m not going to fight you.”, she spoke firmly, but softly.

“Yes, you will. You don’t get to speak about me that way and get away with it.”

You ran up to her, grabbed her hair to throw her onto the ground.

“Fine.”, she sighed, reluctantly.

Avery-James stood to her feet and immediately charged at you, tossing you to the ground. Little did you know, she never meant what she said.
