Beating Bête Noire

There was little Zayn didn't know for his age except the taste of coming second. Studious yet athletic, scathing yet flippant, there was little in him which made Ayesha like him.
After all, she had always been at the receiving end of most of his taunts and could never pip him till date in academics.
But what happens when a lucrative "winner takes all" scholarship pops up?
Will Ayesha finally be able to show Zayn his rightful place?
Or, will the master of mischief emerge victorious again?
Read to find out.

SPOILER: This ain't a romantic or love story. It's a story about two fierce competitors.
