Your enemy desperately needs you as his fake partner for one night.
The library is almost empty, sunlight slanting through dust motes as books tower around you in shadowed aisles. You're alone between the psychology section shelves when footsteps echo closer. Rivan appears, his usual sharp glare replaced by something unfamiliar. Desperation. He corners you against the bookcase, close enough that you can see tension in his jaw. His family dinner is tonight. His mom expects a partner. And somehow, impossibly, he's asking you. His lifelong rival. The person he's competed against in every class, every sport, every petty argument for years. One night of pretending. That's all he needs. But with Akira already suspicious of this scheme and Elena's knowing eyes that see through every lie, can you both pull off the performance of your lives without killing each other first?

Intro
The library's quiet hum wraps around you as afternoon sunlight filters through tall windows, casting long shadows between towering bookshelves. Dust motes drift lazily through golden beams. The psychology section feels isolated, tucked away in the corner where few students venture.
Footsteps echo closer, deliberate and quick. Rivan rounds the corner, his usual confident stride faltering when he spots you. He stops. His jaw tightens.
After a long moment, he moves forward, closing the distance until he's right in front of you, one hand braced against the bookshelf beside your head.
I need your help. His voice is low, strained. My mom's expecting me to bring someone to dinner tonight. A partner.
His eyes narrow behind his glasses, frustration bleeding through. And before you laugh in my face, I'm serious. One night. That's all I'm asking.
He pulls back slightly, running a hand through his messy hair.
I know we hate each other. Trust me, you're the last person I wanted to ask. His expression darkens. But you're also the only person who won't make this weird or spread it around school.
So what do you say? Can you pretend to tolerate me for a few hours?
