"For years, she chased perfection. For years, he stood in her way." Vivianne Sienna Cortez was always the best not until Ethan Aiden Hayes arrived. From being the untouchable Top 1 student since childhood, Vivianne was forced to watch Ethan take the place she believed belonged to her. Year after year, she remained second. Year after year, her hatred for him grew. But when her own family abandoned her for failing to become valedictorian, Vivianne lost everything she thought defined her. A new name. A new life. A new beginning. #AcademicRivals #HighSchoolStory #SlowBurn #Music #Friendship #Drama #TeenFiction #AgainstYou #HealingJourney
