One accidental confession. Two academic rivals. And a school year that's about to turn into a total war zone. Aarohi's life relies on two strict rules: always beat her smug rival, Sanjiv Chandra, and never face school without her best friend, Hazel. But on the last day of Year 7 at Ashborne Grammar School, everything shatters. With Hazel absent and Sanjiv clinching the top academic spot, a dramatic courtyard showdown with her friend Johnny Brooks forces Aarohi's true feelings into the light. To stop a fistfight, she blurts out the absolute truth: she likes Sanjiv back, and she's going to be his girlfriend. What starts as a panic-induced confession turns into a whirlwind summer romance. Safe from the school hallways, Sanjiv proves to be a much better boyfriend than he ever was a rival, and their relationship genuinely blossoms over the holidays. But, walking through the gates for the first day of Year 8, reality hits hard. Johnny is heartbroken and furious, refusing to speak to either of them. Worse, a massive, high-stakes school competition is announced, thrusting Aarohi and Sanjiv right back into the academic ring. As the pressure cranks up, their old rivalry flares, testing whether their new relationship can survive their intense competitive streaks. Just as Aarohi thinks she can balance the stress, the ultimate disaster strikes. Hazel accidentally leaks the chaotic details of how they actually got together to the entire school, turning their private romance into Ashborne Grammar's biggest ship. With Johnny trying to seize his second chance, the school gossiping, and her relationship with Sanjiv on the line, Aarohi must decide what matters more-winning the academic crown, or fighting for the boy who stole her heart. This is written by my friend and I. She is not on any social media platforms, so no need to go looking for her, but her author name is #Reading4eva (sorry about it being cringe 😅) and mine is Truebookworm77! Hope you enjoy it!

Genre: Rivals to Lovers • Academic Romance • Taglish Setting: UCB-Senior High School (STEM Strand) They were never meant to get along. From day one, they've been each other's greatest competition, always arguing, always trying to outshine the other. To everyone else, they were rivals. But to him, she was different. Because from the very first moment he saw her, the way she spoke with confidence, the way she carried herself like she already knew who she was, he couldn't look away. He caught her attention once, but what he really wanted was to keep it. So he teased her. Annoyed her. Argued with her. Not because he wanted to beat her, but because it was the only way he could be close enough to make her look his way. And she? She thought he was nothing but trouble, irritating, and always trying to prove something. But as days passed, the small arguments turned into shared laughter, and the competition turned into something that pushed them both to do better. Until one day, it wasn't about winning anymore. Because even if they were rivals, whenever one of them struggled, the other would always be the first to help. From rivals, they became partners. From competition, it became connection. And suddenly "Against you" slowly turned into "For you."

The logic was clean. The firewall was impenetrable. Then the fire caught. Browne has a system for surviving the Faculty of Law: stay silent, hide behind oversized dark cotton, and never let anyone trace the code back to his family's name. He calculates life in clean algorithms. No variables. No complications. Then Kamsy steps into the mainframe. She is a human error wrapped in radical poetry and erratic defiance. She doesn't follow the code-she burns it down. When a midnight data breach uncovers a secret the university has spent millions to bury, the architecture of Browne's quiet life completely collapses. Now, the administration is looking for a sacrifice, an elite student president is playing an institutional game, and a ghost from a London past has just stepped off a flight to claim what's hers. The security protocols have failed. The bridges are already on fire. In a world built on unwritten clauses and structural corruption, what happens when the smartest boy in the room decides that the truth is worth a fatal exception? "I don't want safety anymore. The code is broken... I want the system error."

Everly Kingston and Lucilius Russell had known each other since they were toddlers. They were given the same juice boxes and toys to play with. With their parents starting out as door to door neighbors in humble times then remaining as close friends as they parted ways, Everly and Lucilius practically grew up together. Most people automatically assumed they'd be great friends, what with being there for every holiday, going to the beach together and having cookouts, especially since their parents were close as family but that was most definitely not the case. Belonging to prestigious rich families that pressured their children be successful as well, both showed great capabilities and potential promises. Their parents were pretty oblivious to their children's behaviour and shrugged it off as childish banters. But for Eve and Lucus that was far from truth as they hated each other with every fiber of their entire beings. So when the school decides to pair them up together under the current circumstances in order to participate in an upcoming school tournament, both don't hesitate to decline and complain about the match up. But the principal leaves them no choice and ignores the tension the two obviously have in high hopes that the top two students of class 4 A and B will surely win the tournament. Can Everly put aside her differences and rivalry to secure her future? Can Lucus forgive their past together and start afresh or will he hold old grudges and continue bullying Eve as he always has?
