When Fire Meets Ice
Eli Rayes is everything Frieda Frost hates: Rich, arrogant, emotionally unavailable, and adored by everyone. With perfect grades, a promising hockey career, and a reputation as the school's golden boy, he seems to have life handed to him on a silver platter.
Unlike her, who has to struggle for everything.
Fierce, stubborn, and determined to escape the financial mess her family is drowning in, Frieda has spent years working toward the Global Excellence Scholarship. She is determined not to let anyone stand in her way. Not her classmates, not her teachers, and definitely not the hot hockey player who couldn't take his eyes off her.
She wants this scholarship more than anyone else. But unfortunately, Eli wants it too.
What starts as academic sabotage quickly turns into an all-out war.
Humiliating pranks.
Rumors.
Public arguments.
Neither of them is willing to back down.
But things became far more complicated when their parents announced they were dating.
Forced into each other's lives outside school, Frieda and Eli discover that beneath the insults and endless battles lies a dangerous attraction neither of them can ignore.
But with jealous exes, hidden family secrets, betrayals, and a scholarship only one of them can win, falling in love may be the biggest mistake they ever make.
After all, when fire meets ice, someone is bound to get burned.

Chapter: Chapter~8ELI: By the time I got out of the shower, everyone was gone. Almost everyone. Zayn sat on the bench, his gaze on the floor as if he were buried in thoughts."Why haven't you left?" I asked in a cold tone. He looked up, a small smile touching his lips. "You sure took your time in there." The laugh that followed was small but enough to make me think he wasn't here just to wait for me. I raised a brow, impatiently waiting for him to say what was on his mind. He stood up, one hand in his pocket and the other combing through his hair. He looked like a character drawn from a manga page, with midnight black hair, emerald green eyes, and broad shoulders. Aside from me, he was the most handsome guy I had come across in the school. "Frieda," He said. Not her again. "I want to know what you meant by them leaving her name out of their mouths." "What's there to know? What I said meant nothing." I quickly tried to deflect by walking to my locker and pulling out my grey pants and black T

Chapter: Chapter~7FRIEDA: 5 — 4I stared blankly at Eli as he skated across the ice with impossible speed, cutting through defenders like they were standing still. The arena lights reflected off his black helmet while the number on his jersey flashed every time he turned. I didn't want to be here. I hated the deafening roar of the crowd. I hated as the students packed on the stands, waving banners and chanting the team's name like they were at some kind of religious gathering. The smell of popcorn, cold air, and sweat mixed made my stomach turn.It was as though I was reliving a terrible event. One that had scarred my heart so badly that it was now hard to forget. But I couldn't refuse when Chloe invited me to watch the game. She said she wanted to support Eli and even though we were enemies, I still went with her. We hadn't even discussed what happened at the party. Why was Eli standing behind me? Why was Chloe there too? I was blank, confused, curious. I wanted to ask Chloe but I hadn't found t

Chapter: Chapter~6ELI: Tranquility was the order of the evening. None of us spoke a word. Frosty looked outside the window the entire time and I focused on the road. I did have a question about what her mother meant by 'work' but I wasn't going to let my curiosity deceive me anymore. Who knew what nice thing or word might come of me? Three was enough to make my stomach churn. A few minutes passed by and we were almost at the party venue. I could already hear the music blasting from the speakers. "Stop here," She said, "I don't want anyone to see me with you."Matter-of-factly, the feeling was mutual. I rolled my eyes and stopped the car while she got out, ditching the jacket on the seat. Of course, it had my name on it. Why would she wear it? The last thing I wanted people to think was that I had anything to do with her. Yeah... The party. I had wanted to unwind, drink, laugh, get wild, get laid—probably. But now, I was forced to look after Frosty. Why didn't the little demon just stay at hom

Chapter: Chapter~5ELI: It was bad enough that my father insisted I follow him to his girlfriend's place.I wanted to stay home and rest properly before it was time for the party but he had to spoil my plans. And the worst part, I couldn't do anything about it. He was my father, my provider, and everything in between. I hated myself for having to rely on such a control freak. But it was more terrible finding out Frosty was going to be my stepsister. I would rather slit my throat and die than call her 'sister'. "Honey, why don't you take a shower and come out for dinner?" Her mother said. She still hadn't broken her gaze from mine. She was as surprised as I was. Fate really hated me. A controlling father. A condescending brother. A fake would-be step-sister. It was all too much for one person. Frosty stormed out of the dining room. She probably wasn't going to come out of her room until we left, which was totally fine by me. It wasn't that I liked seeing her around. "This world is really such a sma

Chapter: Chapter~4FRIEDA: I went to my normal hideout, where everyone avoided. The storage room was my personal space, where I hid from everyone and everything, even my books. I was exhausted and needed some sort of rest. My eyes were itchy and my body, heavy. I set up several alarms before lying down to sleep. That spot was my comfort place, where I usually lay my tired body almost every day. My bed barely saw me, especially during weekends. Not when I was either studying or—I felt a tap under my foot. Nobody had set foot in the old storage room in ages, not even the janitors. Maybe I was still dreaming. The tap came again, forcing me out of the sleep realm. My eyes were still heavy but I managed to open them. Who was it? I sat up, holding my head. It was as though it wanted to fall off due to migraine I was having. I didn't even eat before sleeping. I could only see the feet of the person who had woken me up. I couldn't lift my head properly without feeling dizzy. "Are you going to sit there a

Chapter: Chapter~3ELI: And that was when my worst nightmare began. If I had known, I would have exchanged my number when Zayn offered. I hadn't listened to him and that was why I was now stuck with her. What was even her name again? "Mr. Rhodes, there has to be a misunderstanding here. I can't be seat or study partners with this guy," She sounded desperate. "I can't even stand him." She pleaded her case. But I guess she was right. I couldn't stand her either. Always smiling, always ready to help someone whenever they were in need, and not to mention how she studies so hard, just to impress her classmates. She didn't even need the scholarship for anything aside from proving to everyone that she was the best. She even tried to impress me when I first got here. She was desperate to make us work as friends but I wasn't ready to be in a friendship or any ship with a fake person. It was disgusting and I didn't want to spend the rest of my high school year being stuck by her side. "Isn't there any way w
