Distant lovers

Aria has always been the kind of girl people notice.
She's loud, bright, always smiling-the one who fills every room without even trying. With her best friends, Zorina and April, and her little sister Piper depending on her at home, Aria has mastered the art of looking like everything is perfectly fine... even when it isn't.
Enzo is the opposite.
Quiet, guarded, and impossible to read, he keeps to himself even when he's surrounded by people. Between his chaotic siblings, Maria and Malachi, and his tight-knit friend group, he has everything he should need-but still feels like he's standing on the outside of it all.
They were never supposed to matter to each other.
Until a seating plan forces them together.
What starts as irritation turns into constant arguments, sharp words, and a rivalry neither of them is willing to lose. But the more they're pushed into each other's lives-through late-night projects, overlapping friendships, and parties neither of them can avoid-the harder it becomes to ignore what's underneath the tension.
Because sometimes, the people you clash with the most... are the ones who see you the clearest.
And sometimes, even when two people find each other at exactly the right time-
they still don't last.
