It's not your fault

At Blackwood Academy, excellence isn't just expected-it's demanded. Known for producing some of the brightest minds, the school is a battlefield where only the strongest thrive.

Kylie Cantrall rules Blackwood's social scene with a sharp tongue and an iron fist. She has the looks of an angel and a voice to match, but one wrong move around her, and you'll wish you never existed. She's ruthless, feared, and-unfortunately for her-under constant pressure. Her father, Principal Cantrall, expects nothing less than perfection, and he won't tolerate failure.

Then there's Malia Baker, Blackwood's golden girl. Top grades, flawless reputation, and a face that could bring anyone to their knees. While Kylie claws her way up the academic ranks, Malia sits comfortably at the top, her record unshaken, her success effortless. And Principal Cantrall? He adores her. Which only fuels Kylie's hatred.
Kylie has spent years trying to outshine Malia, but no matter how hard she tries, Malia's grades remain untouchable. So she turns to other methods-pranks, sabotage, even stealing boyfriends and girlfriends-anything to knock Malia down a peg. But Malia isn't one to be walked over. She fights back just as hard, turning their rivalry into something legendary.

Then Kylie's world shatters. Something happens-something she won't talk about-and after that, her grades start to slip. Math, of all things. Her father is furious. His punishments are brutal, and this time, he's done playing games. His solution? Kylie is forced to move into the school dorms.
The worst part? Her new roommate is Malia Baker.
Trapped under the same roof, their rivalry is bound to explode. But as the lines between hatred and something else start to blur, they're left with one question-will they destroy each other, or will something unexpected bloom in the chaos?
