Is it hate or is it love? I've heard of childhood sweethearts, but Val is my childhood rival. She snagged the first-place ribbon at the science fair, won Senior Class President, leaving me as her measly VP, and seemed to check out the only copy of the exact book I needed for my next report. I thought graduating would've stopped the nonsense, but she showed up at the same college and veterinary school. And now there's an internship I'd love to get my hands on, and guess who's my competition? But I'm just desperate enough to offer her what she's wanted for some time now—me. If I can hide my awkwardness and bad acting long enough to… seduce her, that internship is all mine.
