Ashnaiah Zuer Ardiente has always been that girl; organized notes, color-coded schedules, medals lined up like soldiers on her bedroom wall. Being the top achiever isn't just a habit; it's her identity.
College was supposed to be another easy victory... until Alexander Frost Zepeda shows up. He's smart, confident, infuriatingly calm, and the first person who's ever beaten her by a single point.
Soon, every quiz becomes a challenge. Every project becomes a duel. Every class becomes a stage for their silent rivalry. But somewhere between the competitions, the teasing, and the late-night study sessions, Ashnaiah realizes something unexpected:
She doesn't mind losing to him.
Not really.
Not anymore.
Because maybe there's something better than revenge. It's like finding someone who pushes you, understands you, and steals your heart without even trying.
"I wanted the top spot. I got them both instead."
