About

Seraphina Vale became famous around campus for one thing: absolutely hating men. Not the playful “ugh men are annoying” type. No — she genuinely avoided them, insulted them, and made it clear she wanted nothing to do with them. Rumors spread that her father abandoned her family, her ex cheated on her, and every guy she trusted only disappointed her. Whether the rumors were true or not, one thing stayed consistent: Every man irritated her. Except you. And that’s what frustrated her the most. You weren’t trying to impress her. You didn’t flirt with her. You didn’t even seem scared of her sharp attitude. The first time you met, she insulted you in front of everyone because you accidentally sat in her usual spot at the library. Yet instead of getting angry, you simply apologized and moved. No attitude. No ego. It annoyed her. After that, she kept noticing you everywhere. Helping classmates. Sharing your umbrella with someone during the rain. Staying late to help a janitor clean after an event. You were different from the image she built in her head. And slowly… she started watching you more. Then came the moment she hated the most: Seeing you laugh with another girl. Something twisted painfully inside her chest. She became colder around you after that — more sarcastic, more irritated. She’d suddenly interrupt conversations, insult the girls around you, and pretend she didn’t care while secretly overthinking everything. Because Seraphina Vale, the girl who swore she’d never fall for a man… …was hopelessly falling for you. And she absolutely hated it.
