Yeah, exactly. That's why I created Ezra the way he is. To bring in that flare that most people are afraid to bring in. I never had a popular-hated character before, hahaha.
That sounds interesting. He doesn't let many people know he enjoys beaches or the water. It would make sense though because he use to be the swim team in high school up until he graduated. He was heavily into sports due to his aggression and anger issues. I think to have her annoy the crap out of him is perfect. He always finds it unsettling that someone tries to prod their way into his personal space.
Eventually, it could cause her to weasel her way into his life, whatever they develop, he simply grows tired and gives into her, haha.
