Academic rivals, Beatrice and Theodore, have been elected as co-presidents of the student body at their high school, and must put aside their rivalry within the firm boundaries of academics.

***

For Beatrice, it was hate at first test grades when Theodore Samson dethroned her from her spot as best student to ever grace her high school. Ever since, it was all about securing the top spot once more, and wiping the floors with Theodore's colossal ego.

But when Beatrice and Theodore are elected as co-presidents for their student body council at school, both teens must learn to put their rivalry within the strict boundaries of academics to ensure the best experience for themselves and the rest of their peers.

However, sparks ignite as they work hand-in-hand, and they begin seeing a different side to one another that wasn't visible before. And when college application deadlines approach and dreams are on the line, it's time for Beatrice to decide what's really important for her.All Rights Reserved

Partner projects? No worries, they will never choose each other. They know working together is impossible. There are no words to describe them other than academic rivals. Being next-door neighbors only made their competition stronger. Will Dakota be able to follow in his father's footsteps fast enough or will Nyla beat him to the number one spot? 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.

{ "I'm not letting you go again." He whispered. "Good." I said. "Because I don't think that I would survive it." His hand gripped my jaw again, thumb brushing my cheek. My fingers twisted in his shirt. He tilted his head, deepened the kiss, and sneakily trailed his fingers under my dress and up my thigh. "I want these off." He whispered in my ear, pulling on the waistband of my underwear. "You want to go somewhere else?" I asked, biting my lip playfully. } Alice Sinclaire was on a roll.

The Rival Hypothesis by Soul_scriptor

Aria Foster has always stood out-not just for her sharp wit and unapologetic confidence, but for dreaming bigger than anyone around her. For her, science is more than grades; it's a way to change the world. But college isn't just experiments and lectures. It's relentless rivalry, especially with Ryan Clark-the brilliant, precise, awkward genius set on joining NASA. They've spent years battling over test scores, research grants, and the spotlight. No one pushes Aria's buttons quite like Ryan, and he's never let anyone challenge his logic-until now. She's daring and unpredictable; he's orderly and disciplined. Both stand on the edge of their dreams, unwilling to lose to the other. One challenge. Two enemies. And a dangerous hypothesis that could blur the line between rivalry and desire-an experiment neither of them is prepared to survive. ✧✧✧ "You love testing me, don't you?" he mutters, grip tightening around her waist. "Maybe I just like watching you lose control," she teases, her lips inches from his. His breath hitches, but his tone stays dangerous. "Careful. You won't like what happens when I finally snap." She leans in, whispering against his mouth. "Try it. I dare you."

Ever so slowly, I lowered my mouth to the lime. As I did so, I felt the brush of her lips on mine. Just a touch. Just a breath, and it ignited fire in my veins. And at that moment, I forgot a lot. My heart stopped, my breathing quit, my thoughts ceased. But I knew one thing, and it was screaming in the hollows of my brain. 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦. 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘩𝘦𝘳.

Halfway To Forever by blueberrykisses18

They started as classmates, then friends, then something that didn't quite fit any word. The problem? Neither of them were ready to call it love. They never meant to fall for each other. It just happened quietly, in glances that lingered too long and silences that said too much. What started as teasing and shared notes turned into something heavier, something neither of them dared to name. Elena swears she's fine keeping it undefined, even when her heart stumbles every time his eyes find hers. And Noah he hides behind jokes, behind that easy confidence, pretending he doesn't care when he clearly does. It's the kind of almost love that burns slow, the kind that ruins you softly. Between laughter and denial, comfort and confusion, they walk the line between friendship and something more, too scared to cross it, too scared to let go. __ Friends to something less than lovers, more than bestfriends.

Battle of Hearts and Minds by Shua_ghae

No one could remember exactly how it all started, how Joshua and Jeonghan became more than just rivals. They hated each other existence and more than once found themselves fighting over anything and everything. No one knew the reason after the strong hate and most assumed it was their competitive side to be the best among Campus. Their friends often wondered why they couldn't just let go of their rivalry and move on. But for Joshua and Jeonghan, their animosity had become a part of who they were. It was fueled by years of competition, jealousy, and a deep-seated need to prove themselves better than the other. Joshua and Jeonghan hated each other with a passion that seemed destined to last a lifetime. Until, an incident happens and changes everything. Or Jeonghan and Joshua have known each other for their entire life. Both share the same courses and interests and even the same friend group. But one problem.. they are rivals and they hate each other.

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.
