Elora and Owen have been rivals since they were children, constantly at odds over the smallest things. Their competitive nature led to endless bickering, pranks, and misunderstandings. Elora, a spirited and ambitious girl with a sharp tongue, always found ways to outwit Owen, a stubborn and clever boy who refused to back down from a challenge.
One day, Talitha, a quiet and sweet girl who secretly admired Owen, approached Elora for help. Talia wanted Owen to notice her, and Elora, seeing it as an opportunity to tease her rival, eagerly agreed to play matchmaker. Determined to succeed, Elora put her all into teaching Talia how to get Owen's attention-studying his habits, figuring out what made him tick, and spending more time with him than ever before.
But as the days turned into weeks, something unexpected happened. The more Elora learned about Owen-his hidden kindness, his quiet passion for his dreams, and the rare moments when he let his guard down, the more she found herself drawn to him. Her once clear plan became a tangle of emotions she couldn't ignore.
Now, Elora faces a difficult choice: help Talia win Owen's heart as promised, or confront her own feelings and risk ruining everything.
