To love or not to love-that is the question. And honestly? Tanya's starting to think it's just a bad joke she's heard too many times. After all, when you've spent years chasing after someone who flirts with everyone except you, you start to wonder if love's even worth the effort.
But there it is, lurking in the background like that one uninvited guest who never seems to leave. The idea of love-constantly nagging her, despite all the times it's been so out of reach.
She's tried everything: ignoring it, dismissing it, even pretending she doesn't care. But let's face it, when your heart's spent a good chunk of time liking someone who doesn't even see you that way, it's hard not to start questioning the whole system.
But Tanya's a smart girl. She's too busy for nonsense. Grades, future, figuring out how to survive the next group project-those are her priorities. Love? Please. She's seen enough rom-coms to know the drill.
But even her studies are starting to feel like distractions now, because of that one guy. The one who always gets under her skin. The one who always manages to annoy her, always finds a way to one-up her.
This is really not her year...
So maybe it's time to try something different-like a bit of rivalry, a touch of fake dating. Who knows? Maybe that's the twist her life needs.

Challenge Accepted
"Marek, don't do this. Keep your captainship. I'll tell the truth about what happened and we'll both be out of the deal." "But-" "I don't know what your doing, if you think this is going to win you attention or sympathy. Or maybe you are being a noble prat and doing as 'you should'. Plus, I don't mean anything to you. Never have, never will. So please, please, stop acting like I'm special. " "But you are." And then his voice cracked, and I cracked with it. ------------------------ She's sick of his arrogant ways, and the bragging. With her goal being to slap some sense into him, she makes a deal; they act like a couple in every sense of the word and the first one to fall in love? Loses. It's only when she realises he may not be such a terrible man after all that she doubts her ability to win. But what if the one thing she put on the line is the one thing she would die trying to protect? Will she allow a relationship to blossom under pressure from her past? **Disclaimer** The drawing in the cover isn't mine (but it was so pretty I used it anyway). If you know who it belongs to, tell me and I can give them the rightful credit. **Implication of sex and some minor bad language. Do not read unless mature enough.**Complete

Nolan, an unapproachable guy who ignores the existence of all his schoolmates, sleeps in all of his classes. Normally, this wouldn't be Chelsea Arnold's problem-she does her best to pay attention in class and attends gym like a good, normal student. Unfortunately, she just so happens to be his assigned desk partner in many classes. She's frequently forced to wake him in English class and ends up earning the unofficial title of Nolan's Wake-up Alarm-a title that nobody in the entire school covets. The last thing she wants is to interact with him more than she absolutely has to. One day, their gym teacher sends her to bring him back to class, which he always skips for some reason. When she accidentally shines her flashlight in his sleeping face, it triggers a chain of events that gradually intertwines their lives together.
