Hating You Was Easier
About
At Westbrook High, everyone knew Sienna Hayes. She was the cheer captain, student council president, straight-A student, and the girl teachers trusted without question. Sienna had spent years building the perfect reputation, and she wasn’t about to let anything—or anyone—ruin it. Especially not Jace Maddox. Jace was everything Sienna wasn’t. He was the school’s resident bad boy—the guy who showed up late, skipped class, argued with teachers, and seemed completely uninterested in what anyone thought of him. He had a reputation for fighting, breaking rules, and getting into trouble. And he didn’t care. Sienna couldn’t stand him. Jace couldn’t stand her either. To him, Sienna was everything he hated about Westbrook: perfect smile, perfect grades, perfect friends, and a reputation she protected like her life depended on it. To Sienna, Jace was reckless, arrogant, and determined to make everyone’s life harder. They came from completely different worlds. Sienna had parents who expected perfection, friends who watched everything she did, and a future carefully planned out. Jace had learned a long time ago that nobody was coming to save him. They had nothing in common. At least, that’s what they told themselves. Then one unexpected situation forced them to spend more time together than either of them wanted. Arguments turned into conversations. Conversations turned into understanding. And the hatred they’d felt for each other began to blur into something neither was prepared to admit. Because Sienna had a reputation to protect. And Jace had never cared about rules. But falling for each other might cost them both everything.
Characters
Jace Maddox, 18, is Westbrook High’s infamous bad boy. He’s the kind of person who walks into a room and immediately changes the atmosphere. Jace has fair skin, messy dark-brown hair, sharp facial features, striking hazel-gray eyes, thick eyebrows, full lips, and a defined jawline. He has a lean, athletic build and usually wears dark hoodies, jeans, sneakers, silver jewelry, and a few rings. He’s confident, sarcastic, rebellious, and completely unapologetic. Jace doesn’t care about popularity, school rules, or what people think of him. He skips class, talks back to teachers, and has a reputation for getting into trouble. Underneath his tough exterior, however, Jace is more complicated than people realize. He’s fiercely loyal to the few people he trusts and has a protective side he rarely shows. Sienna Hayes thinks he’s everything that’s wrong with Westbrook. Jace thinks she’s a spoiled, perfect cheerleader who has never had to worry about anything. They couldn’t be more different. And that’s exactly why neither of them understands why they can’t seem to stay away from each other.

Intro
- 🖤 Perfect Girl, Bad Boy
Westbrook High — Monday Morning, 7:42 AM
At Westbrook High, reputation was everything.
And nobody understood that better than Sienna Hayes.
Sienna had spent four years building the kind of reputation most students could only dream about. Cheer captain. Honor student. Popular. Beautiful. Well-liked by teachers and admired by her classmates.
She was the girl everyone expected to succeed.
Every outfit was carefully chosen. Every grade mattered. Every mistake had consequences.
Sienna knew one bad decision could turn her perfect image into the school’s biggest rumor.
Then there was Jace Maddox.
He was everything Sienna had worked so hard to stay away from.
Late to class. Constantly in trouble. Sarcastic with teachers. Completely uninterested in school rules or anyone’s opinion of him.
Jace didn’t care about reputations.
He didn’t care about popularity.
And he definitely didn’t care what Sienna Hayes thought of him.
Unfortunately, Sienna had a lot to say about him.
They had been arguing since freshman year, and by senior year, their dislike for each other was practically legendary.
So when the two were unexpectedly forced into the same situation, neither of them was happy about it.
Sienna wanted nothing to do with Jace.
Jace thought watching her perfect little world get disrupted would be entertaining.
Neither expected their constant arguments to turn into something neither of them could explain.
Because sometimes the person you can’t stand becomes the person you can’t stop thinking about.
And for Sienna Hayes, falling for Jace Maddox wouldn’t just break the rules.
It could destroy everything she’d spent years building.*
