Oxymoron

Eliza Dawson.
Rory Harlow.

Sworn enemies since Year 10. Rory was a new kid at school, incredibly intelligent, with wits and charms that made teachers just gush over him at parent's evening. And when he scored a 98% on the first test that year and she only scored a measly 95%, her eyes would burn with hatred whenever they laid upon him for the rest of time.

Eliza just despised the way his handwriting curled so elegantly on the page, how his maths equations never seemed to need a calculator and how history dates seemed to be permanently engraved in his mind.

So, she dedicated every evening to running through flashcards or scribbling down notes just so the next day she could shove the exam in his face and go, 'Hah! I beat you, Harlow, better study harder next time!'

Of course, when a scholarship for one of the best private schools in the country becomes available, a vicious war inevitably breaks out between them.

Because they'll be dammed if the other gets it.
