Elowyn "Winnye" Aurora Volkov, a girl who has been craving for validation ever since she was little. The way she got it? Through academics, by being the best in every class she had and always being praised for her knowledge and her good behaviour.
Malachai "Kai" Maximilian Cresswell, a boy who was always praised for his excellence. It felt good to better than everyone else in school. He didn't give it much care for it though.
That was until second grade, when he met Winnye, the one who was just as good as him. It was heartbreaking for both of them to share the first place, so they were always competing one against another. It wasn't who knew better, because they both did. It was who was faster at it. Who could find the answer first, not if their answers was right or wrong.
The competion has followed them through all the school years, but it all had come to an end when they both chose different highschool. And so, for their freshman year, they regained their peace, being away from one another.
However, it doesn't last long, when Malachai decided transfer to another highschool, which just happens to be the one Winnye goes to. What will happen wwhen they are put again in the same class? For how long will the competiton between the two of them continue?
They have to remember, they are not kids anymore, they are teenagers, who are just at the start of their path in life. Will they find real friends? Real love? Or will they just continue being rivals forever?

(Before You Leave #1)
She was sent to boarding school over the smallest of mistakes...
Okay, burning down your schools gym might have been a big one. But she didn't mean to do it. This time. And she's certainly no snitch.
She's had a fine life. But she wanted something more. And so she created chaos.
She was misjudged and misunderstood.
And now she's the havoc of Birchwood Prep. They call her the devil's bitch, the principal's worst nightmare, and a screwed up whore.
They can think what they want, JJ Ashton has heard these all throughout high school. She doesn't want a future, she just wants to take control of now. She's everything Birchwood Prep doesn't want, but is deemed to get after her Father decided it was the only option for her to find some discipline.
She's not going to make it that easy for them.
Gideon Andrews is the perfect student. Good grades, never missed a day, and never had been in trouble of any sort. He thinks life is great, but meeting JJ, she thinks life for him could be better. Less plain and vanilla.
He hates her guts. It's mutual for her as well.
But the headmaster has made it Gideon's personal mission to get her back on track and into a better life. She's allowed two screw ups, has to join a sports team, pass all of her classes with at least a C and get some friends before the year is over, or she will be held back.
And she's not about to go another year in the hellhole called high school.
