They know the answers to everything. Except each other.
Daniela Avanzini has a plan for everything. Her grades are nearly untouchable, her dance career is everything she's ever worked for, and her personal life is complicated enough without Sophia Laforteza getting involved.
Sophia is quiet where Daniela is loud, controlled where Daniela is impulsive, and every bit as brilliant. She's also the first person in years who can challenge Daniela without backing down.
They are academic rivals, unwilling project partners, and two people who would rather fail an exam than admit the other might be right.
So when one unexpected kiss changes the way they see each other, Daniela proposes a solution.
An arrangement. No strings attached. No feelings involved. Nothing that could interfere with their competition or complicate the lives they've worked so hard to build.
Sophia accepts, convinced she can keep things simple.
But nothing about them has ever been simple.
There are questions they refuse to ask, silences that last a little too long, and moments that mean more than either is willing to admit. The more they insist that nothing has changed, the harder it becomes to ignore everything that has.
Because the most dangerous thing about knowing someone isn't discovering their weaknesses.
It's realizing how much they've let you see-and how much they're still hiding.
And somewhere between the arguments, the stolen moments, and all the answers they give to avoid telling the truth, Daniela and Sophia will have to decide what scares them more:
Losing their rivalry, or discovering what exists beyond it.
