Crimson Rivalry
Monday Mayhem
(Group Chat: Class 2-A – Chaos Central)
(MC'S Friend) Liam
@Archie You alive, dude? Skylar’s already at school. Looks like he brought that smug face again.
(MC) Archie
Don’t remind me. If he smirks at me one more time, I’ll glue his locker shut.
(ML Friend) Lucas
You know he called you “Strawberry Shortcake” again this morning, right?
(MC) Archie
That jerk. He’s obsessed with me.
(ML friend) Noah
He says he’s “just stating facts.” Honestly, the tension between you two is like… weirdly hot.
Skylar (Privately to Lucas)
(ML) Skylar
Why does Archie always take the bait?
(ML Friend) Lucas
Maybe because you throw it at him like you’re fishing for a date?
(ML) Skylar
In his dreams. The guy's a walking tantrum.
(ML) Skylar
So, guess who’s paired with me for the science fair?
(ML friend) Noah
Don’t say it.
(ML Friend) Lucas
Don't say it.
Both reply at the same time
(ML) Skylar
Archie Parker. This school really hates me.
(ML friend) Noah
Or fate ships you two harder than we do.
(ML) Skylar
I’m not catching feelings. I’m catching migraines.

Introduction
hottie author 😘🥵
Let me into the characters first 😃😁
(ML) Skylar
Name: Skylar
Age: 17
Skylar is the confident and charismatic guy who always seems to get under Archie’s skin. Arrogant and playful, Skylar has a softer side that he rarely shows. He’s protective of those he cares about but keeps his emotions hidden behind a cool, mysterious facade.
(MC) Archie
Name: Archie
Age: 17
Archie is the sarcastic and independent guy who tries to keep everyone at arm’s length. He’s fiercely loyal but hides his vulnerability behind humor. Underneath his tough exterior, Archie is sensitive and slowly learning to open up — especially when it comes to Skylar.
(MC'S Friend) Liam
Name:Liam
Age:17
Liam is Archie’s best friend and a bit of a wildcard. Honest to a fault, he’s sarcastic but deeply caring. He’s emotionally aware and often knows what’s going on even when no one else does. Though he hides it with humor, Liam’s secretly a hopeless romantic.
(ML Friend) Lucas
Name: Lucas
Age:17
Lucas is Skylar’s best friend — the easygoing, fun-loving guy who’s always there to lighten the mood. He’s observant, playful, and supportive, always able to see what others are feeling without them saying a word. He’s a loyal friend who loves teasing Skylar, but he knows when to be serious.
(ML friend) Noah
Name: Noah
Age:17
Noah is Skylar’s loyal and energetic friend who brings fun wherever he goes. He’s outgoing, charismatic, and loves teasing his friends. Though he’s always joking around, Noah is fiercely loyal and will always stand by his friends, no matter what.

I'll introduce the other characters soon 😉
Lab Partners from Hell
Archie froze at the science lab door, clutching his folder. Inside, Skylar sat confidently, legs crossed, wearing his usual smug smirk — the perfect picture of Archie's personal nightmare.
(MC) Archie
Of all the people in this school… I get paired with Prince Skylar of Ego Land?🙄
The teacher clapped her hands, pulling everyone’s attention.
Teacher
Lab partners will remain the same for this entire semester. Make it work.
(MC) Archie
*he walked towards Liam and sat beside him*
(MC'S Friend) Liam
On it. Slow or instant
(MC) Archie
He just said, “Try not to blow anything up, Parker.”
I’m going to throw a beaker at him.
(MC'S Friend) Liam
Please record it.
Skylar twirled a pen in his fingers, barely looking at Archie.
(ML) Skylar
So. We’re doing photosynthesis. Try not to set the plants on fire, okay?
(MC) Archie
I’m only setting you on fire, Goldilocks.
(ML) Skylar
Careful, Strawberry Shortcake. That almost sounded like flirting.
(MC) Archie
*choked on air*
Group Chat – Chaos Central (Class 2-A)
(ML Friend) Lucas
Archie’s face went scarlet. I thought he was going to combust.
(ML friend) Noah
Skylar’s leaning in too close. This is better than Netflix.
(ML friend) Noah
Plot twist: This is how enemies become lovers.
(MC) Archie
*BLOCKED.
BLOCKED.
DOUBLE BLOCKED.*
Archie stormed into the cafeteria and saw Skylar with Lucas and Noah. Their eyes met, a brief flicker passing between them.
(ML) Skylar
*raised a brow.*🤨
(MC) Archie
*Archie stuck out his tongue.*😝
(ML) Skylar
He’s a menace. An adorable, rage-fueled menace.
(ML Friend) Lucas
You’re so into him.
(MC Mom) Melissa
Archie, how’s your science project going with Skylar?
(MC) Archie
Like mixing vinegar and baking soda. Explosive and a little foamy.
(MC Dad) Nathan
Be civil. I know his parents, remember?
(MC'S Brother) Ethan
Weren’t you and Skylar, like, best friends in 6th grade?
(MC) Archie
Until he turned into a six-foot-tall heartless demigod.
That night, Archie lay in bed, staring at his phone. A message blinked at the top of his screen — from an unexpected sender.
(ML) Skylar
📩 Tomorrow, don’t wear red. It makes you look too cute when you’re mad.
We have work to do. Don’t be late.
(MC) Archie
Delete this before I vomit.
(ML) Skylar
Night, Shortcake.
(MC) Archie
…Night, Dandelion.
