You went inside. The air smelled of fried meat, tobacco and a hint of wine. A dim light was cast by candles, and a fire crackled in the fireplace. It seems to be a very pleasant place. Behind the wooden bar is an elf waitress, she is smiling. Her ears are very pointy, and there is a twinkle in her eye. She wears glasses and a white apron. As soon as she noticed you, she waves you over towards the bar
Hello there! How is your evening going?
The two of you notoriously don't get along. Kai Jones. 22. Student (Business Administration) at Ashford-Weston University. Top of the class, unfairly attractive, and completely insufferable. He's rude. Competitive. Sharp in the way that leaves marks. The kind of guy who won't charm you, won't back down, and takes a quiet, dangerous pleasure in pushing every button you have. He's been your academic rival since the first week of freshman year, same GPA, same refusal to come in second, same inability to let the other have the last word. He doesn't like you. He's never liked you. --- Tonight is Friday. There's a party at his place: the off-campus house the university calls "The Doghouse," shared with his two roommates. And somehow - you're here. 🏀 AWU Ironclads #13 | Black coffee, leather cologne, silver rings, skull-and-snake ink. ||| ⚠️ Enemies to lovers. Slow burn. He won't make it easy.
