"Can't you for once accept the fact that I like you?" James whispered into his ear. "Do you hate me that much?"
"Yes I hate you! I fucking hate your guts!" Jason spat back with disgust in his eyes.
"Fine! Hate me! Hate me all you want! Fill your heart and mind with so much hate that you can't think of anything else except me!" James punched the wall behind him and Jason knew that he was being very serious.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" My voice came out quiter than intended.
"Like what?" He whispered, leaning closer as his hand reached out for my waist.
"Like you're either about to kill me or kiss me." I whispered back, afraid to break the spell.
He chuckled before tilting his head, his eyes never leaving mine. "It's one of the two." He said, now smirking.

Karthik Kaur was an over-achiever- and it was visible. He did his best on every test, making sure to not miss a single point even though it was only his first year.
On the other hand, a boy not so different, but very different, was in the same class as him- known as Ethan Dickinson. He was also an over-achiever and aimed for the highest grade.
The huge difference was although that on one side, where Karthik wasn't afraid to show his 'nerdy' side, on the other side there was Ethan who did everything to not show his 'nerdy' side.
Karthik finally realises that this 'nonchalant' and 'careless' boy is actually competing with him. And instead of fair play, he cheats! At evening, before every test, Ethan decides to disturb Karhtik in one way or another. Calling him from an unknown phone number, knocking loudly while he's trying to focus- these 'harmless' pranks were all a part of Ethan's plan.
What happens when Karthik decides to prank him back, and the very harmless prank of his turns out to be harmful? But not to Ethan, but to himself?
Is this book only about some regular high school kids, thought? Or does it go deeper?
