Dear Dakota | Academic Rivalry Story by booksbymina

❝There is nothing to be sorry about, Dylans. It's not your fault. You didn't do anything.❞ I crave academic validation. But so does he... It is clear Dakota Reid and Nyla Dylans were close. Outside of school grounds, they were what most would call close friends. Always fooling around and putting up with each other's remarks. All until Nyla moved away from Presley in the sixth grade. She finally got out of Dakota's hair and he could breath a sigh of relief. He didn't realize how fast almost seven years can truly go by until Nyla moves back to the city she was born and raised in. Dakota was always number one... but not for long. Nyla wants Valedictorian just as much as Dakota does. Now the two are tied. Test time is coming up? Good, now who will get the higher grade? 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. Oh rivalry. This should be fun. ✰dual point of view ✰can be read as a stand-alone #1 in rivals 11/12/2021

The Opposition by BookNerd1818

"The answer is 'A,'" I say, keeping my voice light and kind. Carter snorts from beside me. "No, it's 'C.'" Bingo. I was hoping he'd say that. "The question clearly asks you to round to the nearest tenth. If I'm not mistaken, which I don't believe I am, answer 'C' has two decimal places." I smirk as his mouth twitches into a frown. We're still standing. "Very well, Miss. Jones," Mr. Neilson says, projecting another question. "I can't stand you," Carter mumbles in my ear. I turn my head towards him, pressing my lips against his ear. "Then sit the fuck down, Conners," I whisper. "I'm winning." ... Fairridge Prep is for the best of the best. Sadie Jones, stubborn and clever, is set on being the best. Returning from winter break feeling, more so than ever, that she has stolen her sister's dream, Sadie is determined to spend the rest of Junior year proving that she deserves everything she's worked towards. Carter Conners, notorious flirt (only when it comes to Sadie), will do anything it takes to not spend the rest of his life working at his parents' diner. Whether it's running for the track team or debating, Carter is always competing, and competing to win. Sadie and Carter have been rivals since freshman year, constantly bickering and trying to best each other. But when the rivals are thrown into a week long debate competition that, along with getting the top spot on the Principal's List, will guarantee one of them the title of Valedictorian next year, they find themselves enjoying each other's company more than they would've ever expected. And it leaves them wondering: "Do we really hate each other?"

I take a step closer to him, slowly dragging my finger up and down his chest, and stare up innocently at him. His stare is so intense, and as if he knew what I was trying to do, his eyes narrowed down at me. "You know...you smell nice," I start off, smiling and staring deep into his beautiful eyes that capture my gaze. His lips curl upwards, "Do I now?" I nod slowly, still smiling, and respond, "Yeah...But I smell something else too." One of his eyebrows lifts up, "Yeah? What is it?" I smirk, "I smell a little bit... of a prick too." His smile drops as he glares down at me. I remove my finger just as the bell rings, and I walk backwards, "Bye, see you later, Woods." I wink and turn around, walking away feeling victorious. ◇◇◇ A classic 2 childhood best friends story.

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.

Lavender by weirdorandolmao

"He definitely wants to sleep with you," he taunts. "Excuse me?" I look at him weirdly, "What are you even talking about." "The way he touched your arm. That's what people do when they wanna fuck someone." He looks down at his paper and continues to sketch his patterns. I get an idea and scoot my chair closer to his. I lean forward and bring my lips up to his ear, very gently. "Well, that's what you do." He snaps his head towards me like he knows what I'm going to say next. "Do you wanna fuck me?" I whisper, making sure to look at him in awe. I hope it has an even better effect since our faces are closer. He opens his mouth to say something but hesitates. His eyes are everywhere but mine. When he finally catches my stare, he pushes my chair back to where it was before with his foot. "You are such a smart-ass. Would it hurt to swallow your ego for two seconds? Not everything's about you," he argues. "Maybe. I mean- I've swallowed worse," I shrug with a petty smile. *** Lavender Quinn has been at the top of her class since she started elementary school, until her senior year.

CHD by marygnmargn

E's life is stripped away from him the night his mom has an overdose. Her parental rights are stripped away, and his father, George, doesn't own that tittle. No, it belongs to a man who only bestows E the title of affair child, and a new shattering reality. Braydaen life was never perfect but nnak always had nnk mother, but when she becomes distance, nnak has no one in nnk life. A tutoring opportunity was just an opportunity to improve rapidly failing grades. Not the opportunity for dopamine and oxytocin to increase at an alarming rate. And certainly not a opportunity for those hormones to be taken advantage of. ⁕ ⁕ ⁕ ⁕ ⁕ Braydaen is a jock and a joke. Studying hours just to fail. Outside of studying is nnk literal job - playing sports. E is a troublemaker. He's done every crime he can do -- except for murder. The two are the co-captains of the football team. They can't cooperate together even at the cost of a failed season. One day, E gives Braydaen a heart attack ● ⌞for those who want a strictly human-normativity romantic relationships and characters, i advise you to go back, because this isn't that. ⌝
