enemiestolovers highschool romance

Lila Hart lives by rules.
Rule #1: Always be two steps ahead.
Rule #2: Never mix friendship with feelings.
Rule #3: Avoid Carter James at all costs.

Lila's senior year is supposed to be simple-ace her classes, get into Columbia, and steer clear of distractions. Especially the cocky, charming football star, Carter James, who's been her personal annoyance since middle school. Their relationship is built on sarcasm, eye rolls, and exactly zero meaningful conversations.

But when a heated argument at a party ends with an unexpected kiss-one that's way too good to be an accident-Lila's carefully crafted rules start to fall apart. To save face, they agree to fake-date, convincing everyone (and maybe themselves) that the kiss meant nothing.

Only, pretending isn't as easy as it sounds. Between late-night study sessions, forced proximity, and the undeniable tension they can't seem to shake, Lila realizes that Carter isn't just her favorite person to argue with-he might be the one person who sees through her walls.All Rights Reserved

Practice Makes (Graduates of Love #1) by audenueno

In high school, Lila was the awkward, introverted girl who dared to ask the school's golden boy, Jay, for help with dating. What started as innocent practice "dates" led to somewhat of a friendship-at least for Lila, who accidentally developed a crush. But Jay, oblivious to her feelings, saw their bond as purely platonic. On prom night, when Lila catches Jay kissing someone else, she resolves to bury her crush and focus on herself. After graduation, their lives take different paths, and they lose touch. Now in their early twenties, Jay has returned to the city as a confident young professional, while Lila is in her final year of college, juggling school and her career. When their worlds collide again, the simple friendship they once had feels distant, replaced by tension, nostalgia, and a spark neither of them can ignore.

Against My Better Judgment by AlexisHunt724

Avery Sterling didn't come to college for fun. As a fiercely determined pre-med freshman with her entire future riding on academic success, distractions aren't on her agenda-especially not the arrogant star wide receiver who seems to exist just to humiliate her. Grayson Maddox is used to getting what he wants: touchdowns, attention, and girls. But the one girl who doesn't swoon at his smile? She becomes his favorite target. When a teasing comment in class sparks public embarrassment, Avery becomes the focus of his relentless mockery-and she hates him for it. But when the two are unexpectedly paired for a campus mentorship program, everything changes. Forced to spend time together, sparks fly in all the wrong-and then all the right-ways. Behind Avery's walls is a girl who's never allowed herself to fall. And beneath Grayson's swagger is a guy carrying pressure, pain, and a past he doesn't share. The line between hate and something deeper begins to blur-but falling for each other might be the biggest risk of all. 51 chapters will all be out by May 25th

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?"
