Room of Sixteen by readmore2dream

When Rhianna "Rhia" Cruz, a strong-willed and outspoken girl, transfers to Cresthill Academy, the last thing she expects is to be placed in Room of Sixteen-an all-boys class with a reputation for being impossible to manage. She's the first girl ever to step into their world... and they aren't exactly thrilled. Especially not Adrian Reyes, the cold, silent, and intimidating class president. Known for his looks, brains, and iron-fisted rule over the class, Adrian instantly dislikes Rhia-not because of her, but because she's the cousin of Miguel, the guy who stole his ex-girlfriend. To Adrian, Rhia is nothing but trouble-a reminder of betrayal. But Rhia refuses to be intimidated. What starts as fiery clashes soon turns into stolen glances, secret moments, and feelings they both try to deny. Meanwhile, Andrei Dela Cruz, Adrian's charismatic best friend, starts falling for Rhia too. He's sweet, open, and the opposite of Adrian-and unlike Adrian, he's not afraid to show his feelings. In the middle of it all, Rhia must survive a room full of sixteen boys, hidden grudges, classroom politics, and the chaos of high school emotions. Will she choose the boy who's always kind, or the one who hides his heart behind walls? And will the Room of Sixteen ever be the same again?
