My Childhood Rival Became My Husband

Ch.1

Monday morning........ 7:45 a.m.

That morning brought different things to Camilla Jones, who had just woke up. There was no school because of a fever outbreak and parents were complaining, so she ended up walking around her neighborhood. That's when she noticed a moving truck parked down the street from her house. Because she was curious about it, she told her dad, who had time off from work.

"Dad, there's a moving truck in the neighborhood. Can we go see who it is?" He looked at his daughter though they didn't share the same DNA. He always considered her his own. "Alright, but only for a little bit. We wouldn't want to interrupt them getting settled in."

She smiled and hugged her father. After he put his shoes on, he took her hand, and headed towards the new neighbors.

The Lee Residence

Unpacking and getting settled in.

"Minseok."

Playing with his sister, "Yes, mother." She smiled at them and then the doorbell rang.

"That must be one of our new neighbors. Now you two be nice." She lightly scolded the two children. She knew they had a habit of not liking new people that they just met right away.

Upon opening the door, she noticed right away that her neighbor was different from the rest that she met earlier, because he had a small child with him that looked no older than 10. The child had curly black hair, dark hazel eyes, and a dark mocha complexion. None the less, it was obvious that she would grow up to be very beautiful. The father looked different from her with Chestnut brown hair, Navy blue eyes, and a light tanned face. It was obvious that he had just woke up because he still had bedhead.

"I'm William Jones, but most people just call me Will. This is my daughter, Camilla. She just turned 10, last month. Anyway, we wanted to come over and welcome you to the neighborhood." He flashed a smile and extended his hand.

She bowed and replied," I'm Hyejin Lee, these are my twins, Minseok and Minji. We moved here from Korea, so I hope you'll be good friends with us." She said while looking at Camilla and then looking at him. He chuckled and rubbed his neck. "Yeah, it'll be nice for Camilla to finally have some friends her age. Most of the kids around here are either younger than her or older than her. Camilla, why don't you get acquainted with them?"

Camilla nodded and waved at them. Minji returned her wave, but  Minseok just ignored her and went back inside. Minji and Camilla became fast friends while Minseok and her became rivals.

Just like that years passed and they entered junior high school.

"Minji!!!" She ran up to her and hugged her. Minji embraced her best friend in her arms. While Minseok rolled his eyes. "I don't know why you're getting so worked up. We literally live down the street from each other, so you see her almost every day. "

"Stop being a hater, Minseok. I can't help it if I missed my best friend." She said sticking her tongue out at him. He walked up to her and leaned really close to her. Her cheeks heated up flushed with red.

"Are you blushing, Dimples?" He said with a smirk and lightly flicking her forehead with his finger. She frowned at his childish nickname that he had given her. She smacked his hand away and said, "Why do you always tease me? If I did that to you, you'd get mad at me."

He smirked and replied, "Try me, dimples." In a fit of anger, she grabbed his collar and pressed him against the lockers.

He hid his smile and looked into her eyes.
