Episode 1

Ring* Ring

My alarm had barely started when another familiar sound echoed through my room

"Lily! Wake up! You're going to be late again!" my mother called my name from downstairs

i groaned, burying my face deeper into the pillow

"Five more minutes..." i mumbled

"Lily!" my eyes flew open

"I'm up!" i shouted back, dragging myself out of bed. my messy hair, sleepy face as i stretched my arms with a yawn, the cool morning air making me shiver. i rolled my eyes and got ready as fast as i could, I took my stuff and rushed out of my room. The smell of buttered toast and scrambled eggs drifted upstairs as mom was already setting breakfast on the table i put a piece of toast into my mouth and rushed out of the house to reach the school.....

At School

Lily walked through the gate inside school with confidence she is not just a topper but the person who everyone is afraid to mess with. She is known for two things, for being the smartest or topper of the school and second is arguing with James and if they are together a fight will basically happen.

James wasn't just any ordinary student either he is a brilliant student and even since he joined from the first year of high school the two had been locked in an endless academic war to become the (topper) of the school.

"Shit i can't be late i need to hurry..." and as she walked past the courtyard she saw James leaning against the pole, ball in his hand, shirt untucked, loose tie, smile annoying surrounded by the girls... he was the one person she didn't want to see in the morning she carefully tried to Walk away but heard her name...

"Late again, lily" he said in a loud voice for everyone to hear

"you're just early must be a glitch in your system" she said looking his way while all he did was grinning lazily

"some people don't need to chase the teachers to feel accomplished " he said walking her way

"and some of us don't need a fan club to feel validate" she said walking past him

"you got me.." he held his hand up in surrender while smirking

The bell rang and students rushed to walk inside the classroom as she walked away and opened her locker while waiting for her friends and as usual they are late

"hey lily..."

"Can't you guys arrive a little bit earlier?* they walked inside while talking

"Did u guys fight again?"

"what do you think?"

They entered the class and took their seats and 5 minutes later the teacher walked in. After sometime the door opened and james entered like he owned the place his uniform slightly disheveled. The teacher looked up as usual and let him walk in.. He sat behind me smirking only to disturb me as always... leaning over me

"Hey.. What's the answer to this question?" she didn't glance up

"common sense"

"i left mine at home"

A minute later the teacher called his name to solve the problem and he casually stood up to solve it and sat down like it was no big deal

"see my talent"

"and see that's exactly why your answer is wrong" he leaned against my desk a smug smile on his face

"my answer isn't wrong but your assumption is"

"one day you'll admit i am smart-"

"and that will be the day pigs may fly"

"you are impossible-" i glared at him

"and yet you are still talking to me" he smirked and our classmates burst into laughter

"Enough both of you" the teacher said and the entire class chuckled

"five minutes... You've been arguing for five minutes" he sighed as we both looked like two storms crashing into each other

"And why is not everyone sitting according to the sitting plan?"

"Everyone goes back to ur seats in five minutes and you both as a punishment will sit together at the back"

"what? But-"

"There's no but and next time u won't do something like this"

Everyone went back to their seats as James sat at the back already i packed my things and walked towards him..

I could smell his scent and god it was strong

Ever since we challenged each other in everything I never cared about his looks or how handsome he is I always avoided my gaze to notice him even while arguing, hoping he wouldn't notice me but unable to focus butterflies in my stomach won't stop fluttering♡
