Chapter 1/3 || Slowburn || Enemies To Lovers
Summary: you had to temporarily combine schools with the boys boarding school because of gas poisoning (very random Ik), you were one of the known troublemakers in your school but never truly got kicked out thanks to your parents status. And now you were hearing about a guy that could possibly screw with your title..
T/W: Bullying, harassment, bad writing of British characters (I don’t know how British people talk I’m American okay 😔)
WC: ~5000 (maybe more im bad at counting)

Everybody was rushing out of the building attempting to evacuate the premises as a weird yellow-greenish gas roamed the halls, sometime earlier a student that was ‘cleaning’ the kitchen accidentally spilled lemon juice into a container of bleach by some miracle and creating chlorine gas. How joyous?
Everybody had their belongings in their arms and the teachers yelled for the girls to run quicker, you were running in front of your friends leading the way to safety without getting trampled over as you held your suitcase tightly filled with all sorts of things you needed to stay sane. Finally you and your friends escape the school safely as firefighters started to surround the building and ambulances, you couldn’t wrap your head around the fact you were just walking down the halls casually not even a day ago.
The teachers screaming and the blaring siren of the ambulances was extremely overwhelming before your friend Olivia snapped you out of it quite literally snapping at you. She yelled out,
“Hey!! You good there mate?! Don’t tell me you’ve gone deaf!!”
You swat her hand out your face and yell back annoyed,
“For Christ sake Olivia I’m not deaf!! What could you possibly want at this time!?”
Olivia jolted from your sudden attitude and scoffed at you, she then said crossing her arms her tone far more snarky.
“Well Ivy overheard that we might have to transfer to the boys school for a couple of days since it’s too unsafe to stay in that hell hole.”
Your mood shifted from irritated and overstimulated to intrigued, you looked at Olivia shocked as you question once more just to be sure you heard her correctly.
“We.. us girls going to the boys school? Y.. Your serious??”
“Yes! I know it’s unfathomable but there’s no other girls boarding school that’s close let alone has enough space to hold all of us!”
You gasped then started cheering quickly pulling in Olivia to celebrate, after so many damn years holed up with nobody but girls finally you’d be able to see a guy again! God it was a miracle! Olivia was quick to match your mood and the other girls in your friend group were quick to figure out why you were so cheery considering little to nothing made you happy.
And when they figured out you all might be going to the boys boarding school it spread like wild fire.
After a couple you guys find out the rumor was true, you would really go to the boys boarding school. The teachers loaded had all the girls on three different buses and allowed you to pick wherever you sat, of course you sat in the back not wanting to be disturbed till your friends tagged along causing havoc already.
As you rode the bus down to get to the school the teachers started to list off some rules mandatory to follow in order to avoid any unholy activity’s. The first rule was couldn’t share a dorm with a boy, couldn’t go into the same shower room with a boy, be unsupervised with a boy, have any unholy / unscholarly conversations with a boy etc etc..
As the teachers kept listing off rules they made up you pressed your head against the window watching the moon follow along you outside bored out of your mind as your friends chatted their conversation not interesting enough to get you to talk.
Till the name Alex Forbes came up. When it did instantly all the girls started to get louder talking about how he was the most popular guy at the school and raved on about how he was such a “bad boy”. It soon became very interesting for you when the girls began to discuss between you and him who was the bigger troublemaker. You turn your head to face your friend group and ask straightening your posture with your tone serious,
“You seriously think some boy is worse than me? You guys have something seriously wrong in your head if you think he’s worse than ME.”
They laughed off your seriousness and Olivia said slightly nudging your shoulder sarcastically,
“Oh come on you know we’re just joking around!! We know you’re the asshole around here”
And they giggled some more. You rolled your eyes and went back to staring outside the window keeping Alex in your mind, you could imagine a boy being a prick but just not to your degree. You took pride in people being scared and annoyed of you and wouldn’t allow anybody to ruin your reputation.
After a somewhat long ride on the bus you finally arrive to the school and the sun is already setting, the teachers start to greet one another and set up arrangements for dorms and you curiously stare at the place finding it to be much bigger than your school. Olivia comes rushing next to you and points out boys looking out at the girls whispering loudly,
“Look look! Some of them are cute don’t ’ya think??”
You look over to see what she’s talking about and they are quite cute guys but you wouldn’t openly admit it. You murmur to Olivia,
And walk away from her, Olivia just scoffs sarcastically and rushes to tell the other girls. Soon the teachers all called for you to get in the buildings and start picking dorms with two girls in one dorm each and instantly Olivia comes rushing towards you again.
You truly loved Olivia platonically but her chatty personality was far too much to stay in a dorm with, but before you know it she’s dragging you along with her walking so fast you nearly drop your luggage. You simply couldn’t fathom how you kept on getting yourself in situations like these.
You eventually get her to let go of you and you find a room for yourself instead of getting with another girl since you couldn’t stand sleeping with someone else in your room, you look around in the decent space and lay down your suitcase on your bed and take a deep breath.
The air was quite stale but in a comforting way, just like your old room. You move to start unpacking your things putting your uniform in your closet and other belongings where they should be and finally your dorm started to feel like home. You place your suitcase under your bed and start to undress yourself into pajamas then lay down on the bed, and after all that chaos in the span of just a couple of hours you find yourself worn out and began to fall asleep.
It was the next day and you woke up with the morning birds chirping outside and the sun shining brightly upon you, you stretch your arms before standing upright and yawning. Only thing on your mind is a nice hot shower to start off your day. You grab some clothes out of your closet and walk outside of your dorm seeing bunches of other girls walking around also just waking up and you spot Olivia.
You walk over to her and ask your voice deep and scratchy,
“Where’s the shower rooms?”
Olivia just points over to where all the girls were walking and you give her a slight nod before heading over there.
Fast forward it’s now breakfast and your in your uniform sitting at a lunch table with all of your friends with a bowl of somewhat disgusting looking porridge infront of you, the room was quiet before prayer began and you clamped your hands together and began to thank the man upstairs for the food that was blessed upon you even though you felt it was more a curse.
Afterwards everybody began to eat and chat but you couldn’t handle to stomach whatever was given to you, so you gave your bowl to whatever girl wanted it. All the girls were staring over at the boys and the boys were staring over at the girls yet you couldn’t bother to look over at them, they were all ugly to you since they were snobby goody two-shoes or wannabe delinquents.
Olivia, who was sitting next to you, pointed out Alex and began to excitedly chat about him since he was known for being notorious. You look over and was shocked to see how ugly he looked. You let out a small laugh and ask,
“Is that seriously the guy everybody is saying is the devil in disguise? The only thing horrifying about him is his face..”
Everybody started to laugh and Olivia explained just some of the things he did but you rolled your eyes, you forced the conversation to focus on something else and suddenly the girls began to talk about the strict rules the teachers placed on them.
Everything seemed to be just fine till some idiot bumped into you and poured his bowl of porridge on your uniform pants. You froze for a second before you became absolutely livid and looked over to see who did it just to see stupid Alex Forbes.
Everybody at your table froze as he said,
“Ah, I was going up to get napkins for myself but it seems like you’re gonna need them more than me..”
And sneered at you, you were damn near flabbergasted by the audacity of him and a (stupid)ly brilliant response came into your head. You say to him your tone snarky and vicious,
“Well there’s no need for me to get napkins when I have you!”
And you grabbed his arm and used it as if it were a napkin smearing the oats all over your pants but at the sake of his embarrassment, instantly everybody at your table started laughing and attention was starting to be drawn on you two. Then next thing you knew Alex grabbed a cup of the porridge of your pants and threw it at your shirt and it broke out into a fight instantly.
You couldn’t control your temper with idiots whatsoever so you two ended up in the headmasters office with Alex having a black eye and you a bloody nose.
The silence was deafening as the headmaster stared at you, then Alex, then back at you. He then asked calmly,
And you were quick to respond with,
“He stupidly poured his bowl of porridge on my pants then thought it’d be a good idea to give me sass!”
But he was even quicker to rebuttal with,
“Oh please your the one that used my arm as a napkin for Christ sake!”
The headmaster shushed you two and you groveled in your seat, he pointed at Alex and threatened him not to mess with you again making you smirk in pride. But when he pointed at you and told you to apologize to Alex for what you did your jaw dropped. You said your tone nearly hurt from how stupid his request was,
“Why should i have to apologize to him?! He was the one that ruined my uniform!!”
The headmaster then said again his tone more strict,
You groan in anger looking over at Alex with daggers in your eyes and murmured,
Alex sarcastically accepted your apology and the headmaster dismissed you two thankfully not giving the both of you a punishment but you wouldn’t let Alex get away with humiliating you. Not ever.
As you walked out of the headmasters office you began to think of a plan to get him back good for what he did to you, maybe rats in his dorm? No too basic.. humiliating him in front of the whole school? No.. it would get you both in trouble.. Then it clicked. What if you broke his heart?
You could become his friend and gain his trust somehow then introduce him to someone you trust.. maybe Ivy? No no she’s too kind.. Olivia! Yes Olivia! You would get him to date Olivia and make her break his heart and watch him crumble.. oh it would be perfect!
You giggle as you walk to class and began to fix the flaws in your head, you would make this happen one way or another.
Hope you guys enjoyed this post!! I’m going to try my hardest to be more frequent since I realize I haven’t posted in months.. If you guys want to send me ideas of what to write that would be beautiful since I’m running out of ideas -3- Manlover outtt!!!
