Better Than You

Logan Pierce and Noah Locke are sworn enemies. Both at the top of their class, holding themselves to the highest standards; both captains of their volleyball teams, Logan as the girls captain, Noah as the boys, and both constantly playing seemingly harmless pranks to get back at one another. Or, at least, they're usually harmless...

If one thing is true, Noah Locke and Logan Pierce are not friends. But does that mean they could never be friends? Or transcend their title as enemies? Logan might take things too far sometimes, but there's a reason behind the angry front she puts on, and in order to get behind it, someone needs to show her that there's more to life than being the best at everything. Cue Noah Locke.

When the two volleyball teams are sent away to a team bonding camp for a week over Fall break, Logan and Noah must learn to get along for the sake of their teams. Partnered up and made to do activities together and bond, the goal is for Noah and Logan to stop this ongoing feud. And when something happens at the bonding camp that brings Logan's vulnerable side up to bat, Noah is the one who has to bring her back.

While Logan and Noah explore something other than hatred for one another, there are secrets and people who could be working in toll to bring them apart. But will they be able to transcend those factors and stop fighting for once? Or were they destined to be enemies forever?

"Better Than You" challenges the idea that enemies have to stay enemies forever, and proves that if you don't run away from love, you may just find where you were meant to be.

Golden *in progress*

Elijah has spent Christmases in Florida at Cocoa Beach ever since the incident on Christmas Eve when he was 17 that led him to despise the holiday with the desire to wipe away all memories and thoughts of the dreadful night 5 years ago. He's an aspiring photographer and blogger with a big heart, but he's not afraid to say what's on his mind and be an occasional prick. And he's definitely not intimidated when he meets the storm-like Charlie (Charlotte) Jacobs on the beach after a rather... awkward run-in.

Charlie, who has just lost her job as a head chef, is deciding to say "fuck it" and spend the Christmas time somewhere there's no chance for snow. Somewhere she can wipe away all memories of her own traumatic experience from 5 years ago. She's overworked with a loud mouth that has the tendency to get her in trouble, and her hard exterior is almost impossible to break through.

When Elijah and Charlie find out that they're one room away from each other in a cheap kind of ugly pink hotel, the only person in between them a party animal named River, they are led to discover their mutual hatred for the Christmas season.

With both of their impossible personalities and competitiveness, they set off on a challenge between one another, egged on by River: Who can get in the most Christmas spirit by the 25th? But because of their mutual traumas around the holiday, Charlie's inability to acknowledge the past, and Elijah's tendency to dwell on the past, the challenge proves to get a bit complicated at times.

So what happens when the competition takes a turn and Charlie and Elijah are brought closer together?
