“if i had to sum up the last four years into a few sentences, a handful of memories, a small collection of thoughts, i would say this: freshman year was magical and full of growth and excitement at having friends who could drive; sophomore year was met with more maturity but, with that, more stupidity; junior year almost ended my life and changed it as i knew it while i barely escaped; and senior year was full of growth, the same way this era began, but no longer held the magical firsts of three years before; senior year was full of bittersweet lasts and nights spent crying at the irony of being so scared of losing a time that i’ve hated so much of.”

I just watched Candy Jar fanfiction and it was AMAZING. This movie will be used for so many AUs I can already feel them coming.

Who doesn’t love a great #Enemies To Friends To Lovers trope? Or a good #High School AU trope set in a debate club where the characters are forced to work together to win?

And honestly both Jacob Latimore and Sami Gayle were so damn CHARMING in their roles. Bennett was so smug but only in the best ways possible. And Lona so damn angry and grumpy. And both of them so driven to win and get into their dream colleges and obviously fraying at the edges.

And yes also so clearly meant for each other (like I said, I just watched fanfiction).

Oh and the ‘our parents can’t stand each other’ thing was great too especially because it didn’t actually vilify either one of them (and actually both mothers were equally good parents while simultaneously capable of glaring daggers through fake smiles at each other and landing pretty vicious jabs at each other’s characters. Which was actually a pretty great side story).

I mean don’t get me wrong, for the most part it was cheesy as hell but there were certain bits that were pretty clever too. And it certainly did land one solid sucker punch near the middle that I don’t want to spoil.

Just… look at these idiots:
