After Hours, with you

Joshua Choi has been Navii Caliano's academic rival from first grade to their now junior year of high school. The two have always been stuck together in the same class; causing them to always be at each others' throats for years now, the feud is everlasting. With both Navii and Joshua being voted as their classes class presidents it only adds more fuel to the fire; causing there to be more class debates and bickering than usual.

Even if the two have worked together because of their shared class president duties and they've known each other since elementary, they've never had serious deep conversations with each other-- the three main topics of their conversations with each other are: school, who's right/wrong, and who's better than the other. But, with the recent school cultural festival coming up soon, both Navii and Joshua have been spending more time together after school than usual. every day the two meet to talk about their plans for the festival and the event they must hold for their class.

With this extra time spent together, they both open up more-- letting their vulnerability spill out, and seeing the other in a new light. will the vulnerability cause them both to see that they're no different from each other? or will it add an awkward impact on their 'just a rival' relationship?
