Open Novella Contest III Entry, based on Romance Prompt #66 - GameSetMatch, a new dating app/game that promises to find your soulmate, matches you with that one ex you hate, and who dumped you in a way you'll always remember.

Vivian Giuliani is an extremely single, high school literature teacher, who spends most of her Friday evenings at home grading papers, and most of her Saturday nights binging BBC period dramas. With her thirtieth birthday on the horizon, her family and friends have increased the pressure on her to find a boyfriend. Especially her cousin and colleague Laura, who not only convinced her to join a dating app months prior, but has now also strong-armed her into attending the next faculty happy hour, so she can talk to the cute new PE teacher, Ryan Pierce.

But then, on that same day, after five months of membership, the app finally turns up a lone match. Unfortunately, it happens to be the one ex who broke her heart, and made her bury it under those mountains of papers and books since then. Viv is aghast that Donovan Trask is her supposed perfect match out of the 6 million possible registered candidates. But since she wants to be with her soulmate and this might be a real shot at lasting love, Viv knows she's going to have to turn the page, and see where the story takes her.

My Enemy, My Professor  by Jazira_Albatross17

"So what's your type?" "What do you mean?" I pause, looking up from my book to meet the eyes of my dear friend. "Type of what?" She shakes her head with a chuckle. Her head then jerks to her boyfriend, busy trying to figure out a solution in his work. "What type of guy do you like?" "I don't really have one." I reply. "Come on, there must be something a guy does that catches your attention." My eyes casually glance around the courtyard, trying to figure out a quick response to her question. But then I hear a voice speak just to the right of us, Professor Abel happily talking to Mr. Levine. "Well?" "Older." I mumble. "Someone older." "Just older?" His deep grey eyes soften slightly in the sunlight. "Someone... colder too." "So you want someone as bad as Professor Abel?" My friend jokes poking my side with her fingers. I snap my head back to her, surprised at her question. To brush off the embarrassment I shrug my shoulders, faking a smile but my heart is pounding furiously. "Haha, very funny." It's as if our conversation has been leaked when my eyes rest back on the tall individual. The grey swirls are staring right back at me, his colleague oblivious of his wandering eyes. His expression is stern but in the light it seems as though his lips are curled up, making my stomach do a flip. "My type." I whisper with a small smile.
