She was always second in everything-grades, recognition, and sometimes, life.
He was always first. Cold, intelligent, and impossible to beat. The kind of boy everyone admired but nobody truly knew.
As college classmates-and unwilling seatmates-their world becomes a constant clash of pride, sarcasm, and academic rivalry. Every recitation feels like a battle. Every glance feels like a challenge.
But behind his perfect image is a life shaped by expectations he never chose.
And behind her sharp tongue is a girl quietly breaking from past betrayals she never fully healed from.
They were never supposed to get along.
But fate kept putting them side by side...
until hate started feeling a little too close to something else.
And maybe, just maybe-
falling for the person you're supposed to hate was the most dangerous thing of all.
