Heartstrung Hatred (GXG)

Vinodhini von Bausch doesn't have much going for her in life.

She spends hours holed up in a studio, painting away as if her life depended on it. She doesn't put much effort into 'useless relationships' or 'time-wasting activities,' only focusing on her success, which isn't exactly guaranteed.

That doesn't mean Vinodhini is satisfied, though.

She wishes for something new to happen in her life, but she doesn't specify, which leads her to the present.

One day, she receives a love letter, signed with a smudged "- Love, I.B." She only knows of one person with those initials, and everyone knows they should stay 10 feet apart at all times.

Adding a potential crush on top of their rivalry would only make things more complicated, according to her made-up book "Top 20 Things You Shouldn't Do with Your Rival."

So, Vinodhini brushes it off.

That is until said rival ends up in her favorite seat.

After realizing that her rival, Imogene Buckley-Acurio, isn't going to disappear as easily as she thought, Vinodhini vows to do everything in her power to keep her distance, even if she hurts herself in the process.

Will Vinodhini and Imogene be able to waive their current misconceptions of each other and start anew, or will they let a silly school rivalry leave them right where they started?
