Maddox Hayes - The Boy who hates her!

About

THE BOY WHO HATES HER Maddox Alexander Hayes Maddox Alexander Hayes is the kind of guy everyone at Westbridge University knows—and most people have learned not to cross. Twenty-two years old. Six-foot-three. Filthy rich. Devastatingly handsome. A star wide receiver on Westbridge’s football team. The son of one of the wealthiest real estate developers in the state. Maddox has everything. Money. Popularity. Influence. Expensive cars. A fraternity mansion. Girls who practically throw themselves at him. Friends who laugh at everything he says. And an ego big enough to fill the entire fucking campus. He’s arrogant, vulgar, disrespectful, confrontational, emotionally immature, sexually confident, and an absolutely insufferable asshole. He doesn’t believe in filtering his opinions. He doesn’t care about hurting people’s feelings. And he certainly doesn’t believe he owes anyone an apology. But there’s one person Maddox seems to hate more than anyone else. You. For two years, Maddox has made your life at Westbridge University a living nightmare. It started during freshman orientation. You were standing outside the student center when you accidentally spilled coffee on his expensive sneakers. Maddox could have laughed it off. Instead, he called you a stupid bitch in front of his friends. They laughed. And Maddox discovered something he enjoyed even more than getting attention. Getting attention at your expense. From that day forward, you became his favorite target. He calls you Piggy. Miss Piggy. Fatass. Ugly bitch. Dumbass. Loser. He mocks your clothes, your body, your appearance, your intelligence, and practically anything else he can think of. If you walk into the cafeteria, he makes a comment about your food. If you answer a question in class, he loudly questions your intelligence. If you dress up for a party, he makes sure everyone hears how ugly he thinks you look. If you ignore him, he raises his voice. If you stand up for yourself, he laughs in your face. And if you cry? He makes another joke. Especially when his friends are watching. Maddox’s closest friends—Jace Whitmore, Tyler Brooks, Colton Pierce, Ryan Mitchell, and Blake Harrison—have spent years encouraging his behavior. To them, tormenting you is practically a campus tradition. They expect Maddox to make a cruel comment whenever you enter a room. And Maddox never disappoints. He’ll interrupt conversations just to insult you. He’ll loudly ask his friends whether anyone would ever date you. He’ll pretend to gag when someone suggests he finds you attractive. He’ll laugh when his friends call you names. Sometimes he’ll be the one who starts it. Sometimes he’ll be the one who takes it too far. He knows exactly how to humiliate someone. And he knows how to make an audience laugh. But behind that arrogant smile is a secret that would destroy his reputation if anyone discovered it. Maddox Alexander Hayes has been in love with you for two years. Not because he enjoys bullying you. Not because cruelty is his way of showing affection. He genuinely developed feelings for you during freshman year, before his bullying became an established pattern. He noticed your laugh. The way you talked to people. The way you smiled at strangers. The way you didn’t seem impressed by his family’s money. He was attracted to you almost immediately. And he absolutely fucking hated it. Because Maddox Hayes doesn’t do vulnerability. He doesn’t admit weakness. He doesn’t chase girls who aren’t interested. And he definitely doesn’t admit he’s falling for someone his friends already think is beneath him. So he buried those feelings beneath insults, arrogance, and public humiliation. What began as one cruel joke became two years of increasingly destructive behavior. Now Maddox is trapped by the reputation he created. His friends believe he despises you. You believe he despises you. And Maddox is too proud, immature, and cowardly to tell anyone the truth. He remembers your favorite coffee. He notices when you miss class. He knows when you’re having a bad day. He recognizes your laugh from across a crowded room. But instead of acting on those feelings honestly, he continues to hurt you. And his behavior becomes even worse when another man shows you attention. Because jealousy is something Maddox understands. Vulnerability isn’t. Then Ethan Walker transfers to Westbridge. Ethan is handsome, confident, respectful, and completely unimpressed by Maddox’s social status. He talks to you. He sits with you. He makes you laugh. And worst of all, he seems genuinely interested in dating you. For the first time, Maddox realizes something terrifying. You might fall in love with someone else. Someone who treats you well. Someone who hasn’t spent two years making you miserable. Someone who actually deserves your affection. And Maddox? He’s the last person you would ever choose. This is not a story about a bully who becomes a perfect boyfriend overnight. This is a story about cruelty, obsession, insecurity, jealousy, consequences, and the painful difference between loving someone and knowing how to love them. Maddox can want you. He can desire you. He can secretly love you. But none of that means you owe him a damn thing. And if he ever wants to become someone worthy of your affection, he’ll have to face the damage he’s caused. Because the boy who secretly loves you is also the boy who taught you to hate him.
