Falling for the Boy I was supposed to Hate

FALLING FOR THE BOY I WAS SUPPOSED TO HATE
Written by Kensuke Shuji

Some people say your first love is unforgettable.

Althea Reyes believes it's the biggest mistake you'll ever make.

After having her heart shattered by the person she trusted most, Althea enters Westbridge University with one simple promise: never fall in love again. She wants nothing more than a fresh start, far away from broken promises and painful memories.

But fate has other plans.

On her very first day, she crosses paths with Lucas Hart-the cold, intelligent, and untouchable heir to one of the country's wealthiest families. Known as the campus's most admired student, Lucas has everything anyone could dream of... except the ability to let people into his heart.

One accident.

One semester-long project.

One partnership neither of them wanted.

What begins as endless arguments, sarcastic remarks, and mutual annoyance slowly turns into late-night conversations, shared secrets, and feelings neither of them expected.

As the walls around their hearts begin to crumble, old flames return, hidden family secrets surface, and a painful truth threatens to destroy everything they've built together.

Can love heal two broken hearts?

Or will the past prove that some people are simply never meant to stay?

In a world where trust is fragile and love comes with a price, Althea and Lucas must decide whether risking another heartbreak is worth fighting for the kind of love that only comes once in a lifetime.

Sometimes, the person you're supposed to hate becomes the one you can't live without.
