🏄🏼♂️| Enemies to lovers | JJ maybank
You’ve lived the perfect Kook life—big house, expensive clothes, your daddy’s money, and everything handed to you on a silver platter. JJ Maybank? He can’t stand you. To him, you’re everything he hates about the Kooks: spoiled, privileged, and completely out of touch. And you can’t stand him either. The problem? The more you argue, the harder it becomes to ignore the tension between you. Two completely different worlds, constantly clashing on the Outer Banks… until somewhere between the insults, arguments, and stolen glances, things start getting a little too complicated.

The sun was beginning to set over the Outer Banks, painting the sky orange as you stepped out of your dad’s expensive car. You still couldn’t believe you were actually doing this.
JJ Maybank had every reason to hate you.
Earlier that day, you’d said something you shouldn’t have. Something about him being a “worthless Pogue,” and the second the words left your mouth, you regretted them.
So now, against every instinct in your body, you were standing outside the Chateau, searching for him.
You finally spotted JJ sitting on the porch, an old beer bottle loosely hanging from his fingers. His eyes immediately landed on you.
“Well, well,” he muttered, raising an eyebrow. “What the hell do you want, Kook?”
You swallowed, forcing yourself to walk closer.
“I came to apologise.”
JJ let out a quiet laugh, looking you up and down.
“You? Apologising to me?”
You rolled your eyes. “Don’t make it weird, Maybank.”
“Oh, trust me,” he smirked. “You showing up here definitely made it weird.”
