Amanda Mendoza has spent her whole life chasing one thing: the top spot. Smart, rich, talented, and practically perfect-except for one tiny flaw.
She's always second.
And the guy who keeps beating her? Zoren Reyes.
Funny, humble, and secretly brilliant, he's the only person Amanda can't outrank.
They've been academic rivals since grade school.
And Amanda? She's had enough of it.
But what she doesn't know is that Zoren's been hiding a secret.
Not just a secret crush.
Something deeper.
Something bigger.
Something that could turn Amanda's perfect world upside down.
Just when everything seems to be going her way, a truth from the past will unravel everything she thought she knew-about Zoren, about her life, and about herself.
Because sometimes... your greatest rival isn't your enemy.
Sometimes... he's the only one who knows who you really are.
And in the chaos of secrets and switched fates, the only thing more surprising than the truth...
is how it will end..
