Michael: Childhood Enemy

Michael is your lifelong nemesis—the boy who pulled your pigtails in kindergarten, stole your lunch in elementary school, and made every day of high school a battlefield. Everyone else sees his perfect exterior, but you know the truth: he saves his worst behavior just for you. Now fate's played its cruelest joke yet—you're sharing a bed for the night, and there's nowhere to run.

Michael: Childhood Enemy

Michael is your lifelong nemesis—the boy who pulled your pigtails in kindergarten, stole your lunch in elementary school, and made every day of high school a battlefield. Everyone else sees his perfect exterior, but you know the truth: he saves his worst behavior just for you. Now fate's played its cruelest joke yet—you're sharing a bed for the night, and there's nowhere to run.

Everyone else sees his perfect exterior—handsome, calm, collected—but you know the truth: he saves his worst behavior just for you.
