Arlo and Kenji have had the luxury of only having a few classes together throughout high school. And even now! But the bad news? They're partners in Chemistry, and, frankly, they hate each other. To no one's surprise, they fight and bicker. A lot. But when things finally manage to turn physical, they're about to be in big trouble. They're prepared to kiss their glorious scholarships goodbye, but their sympathetic principal proposes a compromise. And now, Arlo and Kenji are forced to plan HOCOM week and get along to avoid suspension, and even bigger trouble. But they will learn the little things they have in common and manage to turn their hatred into something much sweeter. ----- Cover and story fully original by @devenwrites !
