"Of the guy who is good at everything without putting in an ounce of work? Yeah, maybe I am." "You wanna know what else is effortless?" Javier challenged. I bit my bottom lip. "What?" "My feelings for you." - To work so hard for something and then watch someone else do it better effortlessly is infuriating. That was definitely the case for Elias. Elias Richardson wanted to be the best at something, academics was what he chose. With a lot of hard work and dedication, he achieved his goal. So, when Javier Cortez came along and started showing him up at everything he did, he became furious. Now everything that they do is a competition, whether Javier knows it or not. But somewhere along the line that hate filled competition begins to turn into undeniable feelings that take a lot less effort. - {TW⚠️: This book contains heavy depictions of alcoholism, verbal abuse, mental health struggles, mature themes and strong language.

The end of the first semester is approaching faster than one could speak. Which star student will be labeled Valedictorian? Only the two-digit number most would call GPA will let them find out.

Unspoken heart by majesticmakein

At Blackwood Academy, rivalry runs deep, and no one embodies this more than Noah Sullivan and Liam Carter-two top students locked in a never-ending battle for dominance. Whether it's grades, sports, or student council elections, they never miss a chance to one-up each other. Their hatred is legendary, their clashes explosive. But behind Noah's sharp words and cold glares lies a secret-one that he refuses to admit, even to himself. Because as much as he claims to despise Liam Carter, his heart tells a different story. To make matters worse, Liam is completely oblivious. His focus is entirely on Emma Wright, the girl he's hopelessly in love with. He showers her with attention, oblivious to the quiet torment brewing inside the very person he calls his greatest enemy. As their rivalry intensifies, so do Noah's emotions. Every glance, every argument, every stolen moment only fuels the longing he tries so hard to bury. But when unexpected circumstances force them to spend more time together, lines start to blur. What happens when hatred masks something far more dangerous? And will Noah be able to hide his feelings forever, or will the truth finally break through? A story of unrequited love, slow-burning tension, and the thin line between rivalry and desire-Unspoken Hearts is a tale of emotions left unsaid and the heart's relentless battle against reason.

With the boundless arrogance of a wealthy and powerful heir combined with the neverending will for justice of a mundane, they declared arch-nemesis against each other and waged war. But after a particular red stain, black notes, an alligator and a bucketload of glue later, she will have to persist in denial and he will have to learn to be less possessive to soothe their growing affection for each other. The question is, will they give in? *in the process of editing and rewriting
