"And the winner of the spelling bee competition is..."

The students are cheering for the two iconic rival who is again on the stage of a competition. It was not other then Elijah Kimberly and Xavier Drew. The never ending rival as if feels like they were rival even in the past life of them.

The drum roll makes the situation feels intense. The rivals could feel their heartbeat beat faster as the anxious and nervous filling them. None of them can accept losing from each other. At least not to them.

"The winner is.... Elijah Kimberly!"

All the students who were supporting her jump from their seat and clapped for her. Her best friends, Lara and Ivy were the happiest as their best friend won from the spelling bee competition. While the students who were supporting Xavier, especially his best friends, Dylan and Fabio were frustrated and sighing the loudest as they can.

Elijah proudly walk next to the principal to get her trophy as the winner of the spelling bee. Posing for the picture, she could feel the jealousy and intense stare from her rival, Xavier. 

As the contest ended, she walk to him, stretching out her hand for a handshake. Annoyance could be feel from him but it only making her satisfied. 

"Why don't we shake and celebrate for another competition between us, or better, the winner is me!"

Xavier roll his eyes then slapped her hand. "I was playing easy for you. Next time, I won't be easy on you. I meant it."

"The same words I heard everytime you lose Xav"

"You're talking as if I never beat you in spelling bee before"

"Excuse me?!"

Elijah gasp in shock, feels offended by Xavier's word. He smile proudly when he saw the reaction on Elijah's face.

"You have to back to your sense Missy Elijah, I already won this competition like five times more than you"

He then left Elijah who was still standing at her spot then walk to his friends. Elijah's friends ran to her. 

"What's with that face gurlie? what did he say?"

Elijah slowly turn to Xavier who is already looking at her with a smirk on his face. "THAT DAMN--"

Lara quickly close her mouth before she shouted any louder since they are still on the stage, inside the hall. 

"Not here lady, we gotta get down from here"

They brought her to the backstage then uncover her mouth. "Now tell me-"

"THAT DAMN FOUR EYES! I HATE HIM SO MUCH!"

"...you're my roommate?" she look at her roommate who is her rival in her primary school 10 years ago in disbelief. Xavier with his hand still covering his mouth in shock after seeing her in the same dorm as him.

"No way.. NO WAY!" Elijah slams the door shut as she ran from the room to her own room. 

"No way both of us are ROOMMATE?!"
