# **When the First Bell Rang**
## **Book Description**
The first bell of a new school year was supposed to mark the beginning of ordinary days for **Amelia Hart**, a spirited and stubborn junior who dreams of making her mark at Riverside High. Instead, it marks the beginning of a rivalry she never saw coming.
When Amelia accidentally crashes into **Ruth Evans**, the school's admired senior and debate team captain, their first meeting ends in an argument that quickly turns them into enemies. Ruth is intelligent, confident, and annoyingly perfect in everyone's eyes. Amelia can't stand his attitude, and Ruth finds her stubbornness impossible to ignore.
But when a school project forces them to work together, the walls between them slowly begin to crack. Behind Ruth's cold exterior lies a caring heart burdened by expectations, while Amelia's determination and kindness begin to change the way he sees the world.
As late-night study sessions, school events, and unexpected moments bring them closer, their rivalry transforms into something neither of them expected. Yet with graduation approaching, Ruth must face the reality of leaving school-and possibly leaving Amelia behind.
Can two people who started as enemies find a way to stay together when life pulls them in different directions?
Filled with laughter, friendship, heartbreak, and unforgettable first love, **When the First Bell Rang** is a heartwarming enemies-to-lovers high school romance about finding love when you least expect it and discovering that sometimes the most important moments begin with a simple ring of a bell.
