Two rivals, which formed their hate for each other purely because of academic validation
When a new boy Ares Sanchez starts attending Olivia's Maddox school and becomes top student without even trying, she labels him as her number one enemy. But wha...
"he said he's here because he's having a match in a nearby city in a few days"
"I'm not saying he's lying but it's just a big coincidence, that's all" Lia said
She was standing in front of the mirror that stood in the corner of our hotel room
She was wearing nothing but a towel, tightly wrapped around her wet body
My black sparkly dress with low neckline was hanging from her hand
She placed it in front of her body, picturing herself in it as she stared at her reflection in the mirror

Her mind was set on the upcoming evening that we will be spending in the nightclub
But me, I was focused on what had happened just a few hours back
A FEW HOURS AGO
"Olivia is that you?"
The voice was oddly familiar to me
I turned around to the entrance of the store
My eyes widened at the sight before me
Just as I thought this trip couldn't have any more surprises in the bag for me, I realised I was mistaken
Because before me stood a boy, a year older than me, his hair brown like coffee, styled in a buzz cut, his eyes as green as they were the last time I saw them
Zach Akers
My uncle's former student and...
...the guy who has been crushing on me for the past year
"Zach?" I asked, surprise more than obvious in my tone
"I thought you seemed familiar" he chuckled as he came closer
"what are you doing here?" I asked, still shocked
"I have an upcoming match in a city nearby. I'm here with a friend and my new coach but they wanted to stay in the hotel so I went to check out the city"
"how come you're even staying here?"
"my coach said he has some business in this city and that it will be taken care of by the end of the weekend"
I wanted to say something but he beat me to it
"I didn't expect to see you here though but I can't say I'm disappointed"
