When two academic rivals agree to help each other and end up falling in love, what happens?

Tito, a girl struggling with sickle cell disease, and Benjy, a popular jock at Cherry High School, have always been the top students, with Tito consistently outshining Benjy in every competition, debate, and test. But there is a problem: Benjy's father is adamant that his son should be the best of the best, and no one else should take the top spot.

One day, Tito is absent from school, and Benjy has to represent their school in a prestigious science competition. Overjoyed at the opportunity, he soon realizes that he will need help from the best if he wants to win.

When Benjy learns of Tito's crush on his best friend, he makes her a deal: he will help her win over his friend, and she will help him prepare for the competition. Together, they can finally make everyone happy. But as they spend more time together, something undeniable starts to happen between them - something that has nothing to do with competition.

Warning: This novel contains mentions of death and sickness.

A NIGERIAN THEMED NOVEL "You have got your tities out and panties in a twist but your crush doesn't still notice you." Ore is a sixteen-year-old undergraduate of the university of Portharcourt. Before she entered year one, she was that shy, reclusive and sweet girl everyone wanted to be friends with. But as soon as she pays her acceptance fee and moves her things to the school hostel, Ore is no longer that miss goody two shoes. Dami is a third year student of the same university and he doesn't give two fucks about under age girls. They were never a center of attraction for him. Infact, he loathes them with passion. Dami is absolutely content with his sexually provocative lifestyle and he certainly doesn't need any of the problems that comes along with knowing Ore. With the wrong crowd cheering Ore on, will she be able to get Dami's attention? Or will her life keep on revolving in circles of endless passion and peer pressure. Side note: The sequel to this book titled Lies, Love and Deception is out now and is on my profile. Kindly go view, thanks ❤️ *. * . * The Wrong Crowd is one of the best Nigerian books I've ever read. It's totally uncliche and cliche in a hazy interesting way but then, it was just the tip of the iceberg - @Semiloore_ Started: 10/3/20 Ended: 25/5/20
