Allison Dianne "Lidia" Z. Rivera had everything-wealth, a comfortable life-until her perfect world shattered. Left behind and broken after her parents divorced, remarried, and started new families without her, she fled to Zambales hoping to escape the haunting trauma of her past. Starting fresh at Zambales Science National School seemed like her only chance to heal... until she meets Austin. He's the campus legend: devastatingly handsome, fair-skinned, with jet-black hair and sharp-rimmed glasses that scream genius. He lives and breathes excellence, dresses mostly in black, and barely speaks to anyone-especially her. To make matters worse, the cold, silent genius isn't just her new classmate... he's her roommate in Apartment 208. Lidia, the bubbly, pink-loving girlie-girl with warm brown hair cascading down to her waist, and Austin, the stoic top student who thinks feelings are a distraction-they clash instantly. Wearing the same maroon-and-red school uniform every day, they battle for the top spot in class, turning every exam, recitation, and project into an all-out war. They are the fiercest academic rivals anyone has ever seen... but living under one roof reveals sides of each other no textbook ever could. Beneath the competition and cold stares lie hidden wounds and lonely hearts. What starts as mutual annoyance slowly blurs into something neither of them expected. Can the girl running from her broken past and the boy who hides behind his intelligence turn their rivalry into something worth fighting for? From enemies... to roommates... to lovers.
