𝓑𝓾𝓻𝓷𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓑𝓵𝓾𝓮 - 𝓢𝓲𝓶𝓸𝓷 𝓢𝓮𝓿𝓲𝓵𝓵𝓮
In which... At the University of Sydney, sparks fly in the lecture halls when Isadora Rodriguez, a sharp-tongued, charismatic overachiever with a wild streak, collides with Simon Seville, the uptight, bespectacled academic perfectionist known for his cold logic and killer grades. What begins as a war of words and one-upmanship-sabotaged presentations, snide remarks, and brainy brawls-quickly spirals into late-night study sessions full of tension, quiet admiration masked as competition, and stolen glances they refuse to admit mean anything. As the year unfolds, the walls come down: Isadora sees past Simon's stoic exterior to the boy who's been pushing himself to exhaustion, desperate for recognition and security. Simon discovers the vulnerability behind Isadora's bold front, the insecurities she hides behind her sarcasm and chaos. There's jealousy. There's denial. There's a moment in the library that almost turns into a kiss. There are rainy nights, blanket forts, drunken confessions, and the quiet realization that they've stopped wanting to win against each other... and started wanting each other. The tension breaks somewhere-with one impulsive, heated kiss that turns into a full emotional unraveling. By the time they admit their feelings, it's messy, beautiful, and absolutely worth every insult hurled. From rivals to reluctant partners, to lovers who now know every version of each other-this is a story of growth, vulnerability, chaos, intimacy, and undeniable love between two people who never expected to fall for the one person who challenged them the most. Enemies to lovers Slow-burn with explosive payoff Fluff hidden under layers of angst and tension Smart people being absolute idiots about their feelings Longing. Pining. Banter. Chaos.Complete
Top of the class, Heart of the line
She's the perfectionist, the grade-conscious achiever who lives by schedules and color-coded notes. He's the campus heartthrob, the confident Top 1 who seems to excel without even trying. They've been rivals since day one - competing for grades, recognition, and even the spotlight in every class. Until one fateful announcement changes everything: a major project that forces them to work side by side. Arguments turn into late-night study sessions. Banter turns into stolen glances. And what started as pure competition begins to blur into something neither of them can ignore. But in a world where pride and ambition rule, will they risk their hard-earned top spot... for each other's hearts?
The Sparks Between Hate and Love
They were rivals from the very first glance. Every word exchanged between them was sharp enough to cut, every glance a challenge waiting to be won. Everyone knew they hated each other. But what no one knew was the secret. That hate burned into something else when no one was looking. That behind the arguments and sharp stares lived a dangerous, unspoken truth neither of them dared to admit. Enemies. Rivals. Opposites. But sometimes the line between hate and love isn't just thin-it's electric. And one wrong move might set everything on fire.Complete
He's Still An Asshole

She's the fiery, sharp-tongued nurse in training who makes his blood boil in all the worst (and best) ways. Too bad they share a friend group. Too bad they can't stay away from each other. And way too bad that one night turned into two... and then turned into something else entirely. They're not friends. They're not dating. They just can't stop touching each other. Until insults turn softer. Jokes start to sound like flirting. And hate starts to feel dangerously close to something else. They swore it was nothing. They were wrong.Complete
