In this universe, Manila's two wealthiest families have raised their heirs to shine, not to lose. Javier Clyden Montclair's been the untouchable golden boy of Crescent Academy of Excellence since forever, known for his perfect grades, his judo medals, and his spot in every elite club that matters. The school practically treats him like royalty.
Then Celeste Zayne Luminara transfers in.
A valedictorian at her old school, she takes the scholarship exam just to prove herself, despite her own family's wealth. She's placed as a scholar, stepping into a world where only the richest belong, and starts challenging Clyden... in everything without her noticing.
They're in the same class and ended up competing in everything. Same strand. Same love for instruments. Same stubborn energy. Different clubs, different sports, same need to outdo each other.
Javier Clyden-science labs, coding programs, visual arts exhibitions, honor societies, and the student council where he's vice president. He's untouchable, brilliant, and used to being on top. Celeste Zayne-commands the debate stage and the orchestra, holds her ground in honor societies, and serves as student council secretary.
Everyone sees them as rivals as they clash constantly, from academic rankings to club projects, from the billiard table to the judo mats. Yet somehow, beneath the sparks of competition, a complicated tension simmers-a rivalry that might just be more than either of them expected.
