Killian Jones and Emma Swan do not get along.
They tolerate each other and bicker like a married couple(they are not a married couple) and compete with each other in classevery time they’re given the opportunity. It’s not her fault she has acompetitive side of her that wants to beat his ass in all of the classes theyshare together, to get admitted into Harvard Law.
Of course he’s aiming for Harvard Law School, too, muchto her own demise to know she’ll have to deal with him further.
And she can admit Killian Jones is smart, the mostintelligent guy she knows (despite his childish behaviour, which she clearlyfights back against like a child, too) in all of her school. But she stilldespises him because it’s like he’s made to ruin everything, well noteverything…but mostly everything.
They fight to see who gets higher marks, they fight tosee who’ll get chosen on by the teachers. They…fight for a lot of things andfrankly, it’s just a heated rivalry between them.
She groans, turning to face him as she adjusts herbackpack from falling off her shoulders. “What is it, Jones?”
“That disgusted to see me, love? I’mwounded.” He mocks her by setting a hand over his chest and she rolls hereyes at his over dramatic response. “Anyway, I thought we could…perhapsgrab a bit of lunch and catch up. We’ve been so caught up battling each othersince ninth grade and we’re graduating high school soon, yet we’ve never reallyspent our time doing other things.”
His implication is loud and clear, but there’ssomething else behind those words. Killian may be cocky, the all-around perfectguy any girl could want, but it seems like he does want to spend some qualitytime with her - which of course, is a little unnerving at first. “Right,well, where did you have in mind?” she asks, keeping her cool.
It’s surprising to know he still remembers herfavourite diner not far off from from school. “So you remembered,”she says, quirking a curious brow to tease. “I’m surprised that youmemorized something that’s not law based.”
