STORY BLURB:
Arya doesn't care about many things.
Not friendships. Not people. Not anything that could leave her behind again.
Except one thing.
Beating Adam Connor.
He's calm. Effortless. Naturally better at everything without even trying.
And worst of all?
He doesn't even know she exists.
What starts as a silent rivalry built on exam scores and stolen glances slowly turns into something neither of them planned-something far more dangerous than losing.
Simple desc:
This story is a STRONG slow burn, academic rivals to friends to lovers, with the main protagonist being a sixteen year old girl in Year 11 currently preparing for her GCSEs (British school.)
The FMC is Arya (pronounced Aree-a), with brown hair, dark green eyes and some freckles on her face.
The MMC is called Adam with dark brown curls, brown eyes and broad shoulders.

"They took my sister. Now I'm taking her back." Seventeen years ago, humans started developing supernatural abilities. Comic books came true as the first person flew, created fire, mind-read. The world entered a new age where people who could do special things were revered and admired. That all changed when one man lost control of his power and unleashed a huge explosion in a crowded shopping centre, killing over a thousand others. A series of fights involving superhumans broke out, resulting in the destruction of multiple cities and hundreds upon hundreds of further lives lost. The government began hunting down those extraordinary people with the assistance of a specialised unit: trained in recognising different abilities. Suddenly powers became something scary, uncontrollable and dangerous, that nobody wanted to own up to having. Seventeen years after the Explosion, Amelie Rose Carmichael is the daughter of the man who is in charge of hunting down and imprisoning these people.
