Philip chose to be Lestine's ultimate rival. A rivalry that excites him to study everyday became his hope to live his life to the fullest. From high school to college, they battle for the top spot in everything, with Lestine viewing Philip as nothing more than an arrogant jerk. But as they enter university, something shifts. Knowing his time is running out, Philip begins clinging to Lestine like crazy, turning their academic war into a chaotic, desperate chase for her heart. Lestine is left bewildered by his sudden change in behavior, completely unaware of the ticking clock driving his madness.

To be fair, the school council was as competitive as it gets. With a president and vice president fighting for different sides, it seems determination is in the air. In contrast, maybe there's more to the story than being rivals who "hate" each other. ©eerials2022, completed. highest rankings #1 in rivalstolovers #1 in academicrivalsComplete

Perfect grades, a flawless reputation, and an ironclad determination to be the best-nothing and no one will stand in her way. Except for Augustine Hart. Smug, insufferable, and just as brilliant as she is, Augustine has been her greatest competition since freshman year. No matter how hard she pushes, he pushes right back, matching her step for step, refusing to let her win. Their rivalry is the only thing that's ever felt certain. But senior year has other plans. Forced into unwanted proximity, late-night study sessions, and tension-filled arguments, Seraphina starts to realize that Augustine isn't just her competition-he's a challenge she can't quite figure out.

The Perks Of Falling For Your Bestfriend✔
"In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you." -Pride and Prejudice. -Jane Austen. Allison Waters is a girl as simple as they come, atleast that's what she believed. And to be honest she did enjoy a simple life for the past two years. All she wanted to pass her senior year in peace and be happy in life. What she wasn't expecting was to be back in town with a certain Greek God of a Devil acting more annoying than ever... Calling him tall dark and handsome would be the understatement of the century. He is the arrogant quarterback and one of the most popular guys in shcool. He is as I mention previously the reincarnation of the devil in his actions and a Greek God in the looks department, with startling blue eyes, a sinful body and gorgeous hair, who may at different times define the words Cocky and Adorable. Quite a contrast isn't it? Well that's who he is, or for that matter how we all are... a bit of both. Ashton Fobes is Alli's bestfriend, well Ex-Bestfriend, he is also her arch nemisis, her sworn enemy, but he is also the only one who can make her push her limits and challenge her in ways she never thought possible. Soon they were playing with Cupid's arrows trying to set up the unlikeliest couple imaginable, but what they seemed to have forgotten was Fate's wierd sense of humor and so it turned out while they were playing with Cupid's Arrows, he was aiming them at these two instead.

Make me.
"I hate the fact that you know me. I hate the fact that you can perceive me. And I fucking hate the fact that I think about you all the time." He just stared at me, but he looked happy. Not confident or smug like he always did. He looked happy. Like every horrible thing I'd said to him was the best thing he'd ever heard. ~ Aurelia Gray hates Aaron Hawthorne. She hates his stupid smile, his infuriating confidence, and the way he somehow finds a way into every corner of her life. Aaron Hawthorne is in love with Aurelia Gray. Unfortunately for him, she would rather throw books at his head than admit she feels anything at all. Between stolen glances, arguments that last for hours, and feelings neither of them are willing to name, the line between hatred and love begins to blur. The problem is that Aaron has already crossed it. And Aurelia is still pretending she hasn't.
