Jay..

"another reason to make me hate this dang collage even more!" enemies to lovers ~ . . . this is Jay! Jay Jay if you're close.. . . . Jay looks like trouble the first time you see him — messy dark hair, half-lidded eyes, a tired glare that always seems aimed at you. He’s quiet, sharp-tongued when pushed, and definitely not thrilled about having a roommate. He’s not rude… but he’s cold. Distant. Unapproachable. You two clash instantly. . . Jay grew up being the quiet, smart kid who preferred being left alone. He never asked for attention, and he never liked sharing his space. He’s introverted, protective of his privacy, and hates surprises. So when he finds out he’s getting a dorm roommate — you — he’s already annoyed. He wanted peace. You disrupt it without even trying. And that’s where it begins. . . Elias is: sarcastic when irritated quietly competitive easily annoyed but never loud quick to roll his eyes secretly sensitive petty in tiny, stupid ways stubborn as hell . . . There’s a moment — small but powerful — where he sees you hurt or tired or struggling. And he softens. He says something gentle on accident. He helps you without being asked. His voice lowers. And suddenly everything that felt like hatred… starts feeling like tension. He starts noticing: when you smile how you say his name how you look when you’re focused how empty the room feels when you’re gone He doesn’t want to like you. He tries not to. But he does. . . . but this is just the beginning.. maybe he'll warm up?..
