(N.) Finding something good without looking for it.

"You can pretend you hate me all you want. But I know deep down, if you really hated me, you wouldn't be looking at me like you've never had a human interaction 𝒃𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆."

One of the things fashion student Ivory hates the most is when someone is better than her in the subjects she likes most. So, when popularly known English major, Aris, suddenly appears in her classes, threatening her spot at the top of her class, Ivory views this as a challenge, a way to prove both her strength and her wisdom to the people that think they can overcome her.

What will happen during her battle? Will she fail? Will she make new friends, or, will she make new enemies? And what about her feelings, how will her feelings for this boy develop? Will she hate him, or, will they grow into something bigger, something stronger?

Before you read this I'd like to say a few things and introduce myself a little bit.

Hi, my name is Ava but my family and close friends call me Avs, you're free to do so as-well, I am 16 years old, and trying my best to possibly lighten people's day with my writing.

Yes, this is only the third fanfic I've written, but, this is the first AU I have ever written, so there might be quite a few mistakes that I apologise for, but I am hoping to learn and improve.

My spelling isn't the best so I'm sorry for any mistakes, please feel free to point them out so I can work on them.

Also feel free to give any pointers and tips that would improve my writing, like I said, I am trying to learn more.

I do have another on going fanfic (Quondam) so this one will most likely be getting written once that one is completed.

And last but not least, I do not own any of the characters in this story except my OC's, we can thank James Dashner and Wes Ball for the creation of everyone else.

• This is a Aris x Oc AU fanfic (Academic Rivals)

• I will not be writing any smut, purely because I am uncomfortable with it, and I don't want my work to be read for that reason. But don't worry There will be some spicier scenes.

• Like I said I do not own any of the characters except for my OC's.

• I will be posting updates about this story on my message board and on TikTok so make sure to keep an eye out.
