The protagonist is the character with the starring role in your book. In most novels, the protagonist is on a journey to get what they want more than anything else in the world, whether it's fame, or revenge, or something as simple as joining the high school soccer team.

The antagonist is the character in a novel that gets in the way of the protagonist achieving their goal. That doesn't mean that all antagonists are evil monsters, though! Some antagonists stand in the way because they're jealous, or confused, or have a set of different goals than the protagonist. For example, if Nia tries out for a role in the school play but Maddy gets it instead, it doesn't mean Maddy is bad. She just wants the same thing! Some antagonists do terrible things but think they're right. Others, like Voldemort from Harry Potter, are just plain evil. It's up to you to figure out what your antagonist's deal is.
