    Summary

    Vi thought her biggest challenge this semester would be staying awake in Health Law and Public Policy. That is, until she’s partnered with Caitlyn Kiramman—a walking poster child for perfection and privilege—for a group project that counts for half their grade. Caitlyn has a schedule color-coded to the minute, while Vi’s greatest academic accomplishment is finding snacks in her bag she forgot about.

    Sparks fly (and not the romantic kind, at first) as their clashing personalities and preconceived notions collide in library study rooms and late-night cram sessions. But somewhere between sarcastic quips, Caitlyn’s meticulously planned outlines, and Vi's chaotic "creative input," they begin to realize they might actually... like each other?

    It’s an upcoming semester full of awkward coffee runs, way-too-early meetings, and a growing realization that sometimes, the most unexpected projects have the best outcomes.

    Summary

    "Fuck, I'm sorry... I wasn’t watching where I was going," she said, realizing she had bumped into another girl, who had landed on her backside.

    Vi extended a hand to help, but received no reaction from the other girl, who silently got to her knees and began feeling around for something on the hospital's polished floor.

    ‘Oh shit. Fuck.’

    Vi dropped to her knees instantly, realizing she had just knocked over a blind woman.

    Summary

    Vi Lanes despised Caitlyn Kiramman. She hated that infuriatingly perfect smile, her charming posh accent, the way her dark blue hair always looked so soft, and those piercing blue eyes that seemed to see through everything. But most of all, Vi hated her kindness. It had to be fake—how could it not be? Caitlyn was a born and bred Piltovian, after all, yet somehow managed to be one of the few who actually seemed to tolerate Zaunites. But Vi refused to believe it. It had to be an act.

    OR

    Caitlyn wasn’t afraid to ask more personal questions, either. “What made you come back to visit me?” she asked one day, her voice tentative but curious.

    Vi hesitated, her hand resting on the edge of Caitlyn’s bed. She shrugged, looking away for a moment. “At first? Guilt, I guess. But now…” She met Caitlyn’s gaze, her eyes softening. “I just… I like being here. With you.”

    OR

    In which Vi hates Caitlyn but ends up saving her life all the same.
