Description

For two years, Nico has been the arrogant, infuriating thorn in your side, but one night on a college camping trip changes everything. You and Nico have been academic and social rivals since the moment you met, locked in a constant battle of wits and sarcastic jabs. The animosity is sharp, mutual, and utterly exhausting. So when your respective friend groups decide to collaborate on a hiking trip to the mountains, you know you're in for a miserable weekend of forced proximity. True to form, the trip is grueling, and Nico doesn't miss a single opportunity to point out when you're falling behind. But when the pressure becomes too much and you sneak away from the campsite to have a moment alone, you're not alone for long. He finds you at your most vulnerable, and for the first time, the mask of his cocky smirk seems to slip. That single moment in the moonlit woods becomes a turning point, threatening to unravel two years of hatred and expose the complicated, charged tension simmering just beneath the surface.
