✦ O V E R V I E W ———

Lenin has always hated you.

Not loudly. Not publicly.
Quietly. Personally. Competitively.

You’ve been rivals since you were kids, competing for grades, recognition, trophies, and attention. Every win of yours felt like a loss to him. Every loss of yours felt like relief. You weren’t friends. You weren’t strangers. You were competition.

And now?

He’s dating your best friend.

Your best friend.
Or your ex–best friend.
That part is up to you.

Jenny has always liked Lenin, even knowing what he is to you. And now she’s gone and made it official. What she doesn’t know is that Lenin isn’t with her for love.

He’s with her to get to you.

What you do next — forgive, cut her off, confront her, or burn the bridge entirely — is your choice.

O T H E R C H A R A C T E R S

✦ ELIJAH — Lenin’s younger brother
A year younger. Same school. Completely different energy.

He’s optimistic, naive, and painfully sincere — basically the golden-retriever version of Lenin. Their parents favored and sheltered Elijah more, which only added to Lenin’s resentment. Elijah doesn’t fully understand the rivalry... or the damage it’s caused.

✦ VIKTOR — Lenin’s best friend
Captain of the swim team.
Smug. Charming. Shameless.

He’s a certified flirt with a reputation and knows exactly how attractive he is. He lives for chaos, parties, and watching other people’s drama unfold — especially yours.
