enemies to lovers (college edition)
Character A is an incorrigible arrogant asshole who gets by on charm and the skin of their teeth.
Character B is an academic beast who is barely surviving the semester on their scholarship and is carrying parental pressure to succeed no matter what.
being paired up for a project/assignment/task that is said to count for a majority of their grade
“unlike most things in life, you are gonna have to put in the work”, "dont worry, I splurged for premuim on Canva"
dividing up the amount of work to see as little as possible of each other
hint hint the double entendre
the amount of irk that B gets they gets when A ends up charming their way to good grade
“how do you manage to always get away unscathed” “how do always manage to sound like a character from Lord of the Rings?”
the looks from B’s roommate who swore they heard that hell would have to freeze over for them to be even in the same vicinity as A
cue the bets that get placed
“how did you get the correct answer, you used the completely wrong method”, “much like how I wonder why anyone finds you remotely likable, this will have to be filed under one of life's little mysteries”
B suddenly saving a seat beside them for A at every event/class/meeting
“stop looking at me like that”, “sorry, I’ve been told I have resting yearning face”
all nonchalantness leaves their body the moment they get hit with the soft toned ‘sweetheart’, ‘love’, ‘baby’.
the jaw clench when someone stands a little too close to comfort to B
