Laira Cruz is the golden girl of the women's division-bold, aggressive, and impossible to control.
Marione Santiago is the men's top ace-disciplined, cold, and dangerously smart.
They're forced to team up for the national badminton team's mixed doubles lineup.
The problem? They hate each other's guts.
On the court, they fight for every shot.
Off the court, they can't even share the same air without someone storming out.
But chemistry isn't always about liking each other.
Sometimes, it's about the fire that comes from constant friction.
And the question is-what happens when all that tension finally snaps?

A fight to best the worst and a war of survival from hate and love, ready to consume her and best everything she's worked to achieve. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - DUAL POV - •Dark Romance •Forbidden Love •Enemies to Lovers •Explicit themes •Mature Sexual content •HateLove STARTED : 27/9/22 FINISHED :
Training Camp Compromise
Nathan Baker hates Julian Cruz. He hates his snarky attitude, he hates how overly confident he is, but most of all--he hates how good he is at football. He hates how stupid Roosevelt High school took home the championship trophy and the way the stupid rival team picked up his stupid rival, chanted his stupid name while he looked at Nathan with a stupid grin. Yep, Nathan hates him. But this year is his year. He's the captain of the Cortland Foxes football team, he's the starting quarterback, and he finally is back on good terms with his on and off girlfriend, Veronica. Senior year is the year. That is until on the first day of training the coach introduces someone who, in fact, does not need an introduction and Nathan almost explodes with anger on the spot. The feeling of hatred is very much mutual for Julian Cruz. He hates Nathan Baker with every fiber in his body. He hates his Hollywood attitude, he hates how rich he is, but greater than all--he hates how good he is at football. Sure, Julian had made the lucky catch and managed to make the final touchdown of the championship game and win, sure, he was praised as a God for the rest of that school year and got scouted by a couple college coaches. But none of that matters now that he and his Mom have gotten kicked out from their apartment and the only place they could find is too far to continue his laid-back life at Roosevelt High. It doesn't matter anymore because now he is forced to go to the one school in the world he would never have chosen if given the chance. Cortland High school, home of the foxes and his worst enemy. Well, since they're on the same team now they have to reach some sort of compromise...right? Who knows, maybe, just maybe, they'll like each other more than either of them thought.
