(A grumpy x sunshine and enemies to lovers fanfiction.)
Condescending, know-it all, and grumpy.
From the minute Ichigo stepped foot in Starlight as a teacher, four years after graduation, she is immediately put of by Suzukawa Naoto, a notoriously arrogant teacher with a know-it-all streak, who had patronized her while she was a student. Now a strong and outspoken woman, she is having none of it.
Air-headed, annoying, and loud.
Naoto mistakes Ichigo's cheerful personality for being dumb. Thinking he's being helpful, he mansplains everything to her and on many occasions, puts her down. So, when she tells him off, Naoto is shocked as to how greatly he misjudged her. But it's too late, she already hates him.
But when they end up being the coordinators of a class trip for the first year highschool students, their differences come to rise, creating tension and sparks.

New session equating to new section, getting kicked out of the one batch to another, that's how Adaira's every year in high school goes. Bad grades, teachers at throat, reputation in dust, friends nonexistent- all the usual.
Well, it's the final year. Her plan? Keep her head low, force through the shitty academic life and get into whatever university that accepts her so that she can escape her home. Easy!
Except this boy sitting next to her this year... doesn't really seem to agree.
