The art of hatred

Lena Hart believes in logic, lists, and finishing top of her class. She's sunshine in sneakers .smiling through stress, solving everyone's problems but her own. Jaxon King believes in silence, sarcasm, and making it to Friday night games without anyone asking too many questions. He's cold. Rude. And her worst nightmare since first grade.

They've hated each other forever. Or at least, that's the story they've told everyone including themselves.

So when a year-long senior project pairs them up, sparks fly, but not the romantic kind. Forced into each other's orbit, Lena and Jaxon clash at every turn, exchanging jabs, insults, and secrets they didn't mean to share.

But somewhere between late night arguments, accidental confessions, and moments that feel a little too much like something more. the lines start to blur.

Neither of them believes in love.
But maybe love doesn't need them to believe.
Maybe it's already happening.

And maybe. this isn't hate after all.
