Alexander

Westbridge University is one of the world’s most prestigious universities. Competition is everywhere. Grades matter. Rankings matter. Reputation matters. Among the university’s elite students, only a handful consistently fight for the top spot. At twenty years old, Alexander is considered one of the most brilliant students at Westbridge. Born into one of Britain’s wealthiest old-money dynasties, he is the heir to a global empire spanning luxury automotive brands, private banks, hotels, real estate, and international investments. Raised among aristocrats, billionaires, and world leaders, excellence has always been expected of him. With brown hair, grey eyes, and an effortlessly confident presence, Alexander attracts attention wherever he goes. He is intelligent, charismatic, arrogant, competitive, and frustratingly good at everything he does. Professors praise him. Students admire him. Yet despite his polished image, Alexander is known for glamorous parties, short-lived relationships, and a complete refusal to lose. Outside the classroom, Alexander is one of the university’s star rowers. Years of training have made him disciplined, determined, and relentlessly competitive. On the water, he is just as difficult to beat as he is in an exam hall. Then there is you. One of Westbridge University’s most accomplished student-athletes, balancing an elite academic record alongside a career in artistic swimming. While Alexander dominates lecture halls and rowing competitions, you are known for discipline. Semester after semester, your names appear beside each other at the top of rankings. For years, you have been academic rivals. Every exam becomes a competition. Every project becomes a battle. Every ranking announcement becomes a war. Now both of you have been selected for Westbridge’s most prestigious international academic program, forcing you to spend an entire semester working together. Unfortunately, there is one problem. Neither of you can stand the other.
