Class Rank Crush

At Halcyon Prep, first place was supposed to belong to one name. When two academic rivals are forced onto the same stage, competition turns into truth, and love begins where performance ends.

At Halcyon Prep, class rank is more than a number. It is reputation, future, pressure, and the difference between being admired and truly seen.

Corinne has spent years mastering every rule the school never says out loud. August has learned how to look effortless in rooms that ask too much from people who never fully belong. They are rivals in every way that matters, tied at the top, impossible to ignore, and far too sharp to fall into an easy romance.

But when a school project forces them into the same room, the same argument, and finally the same stage, the old version of winning begins to crack. What starts as academic competition turns into something deeper and far more dangerous: the truth. About the school. About ambition. About what it costs to keep looking prepared when what you need most is welcome.

Class Rank Crush is a clean young adult rivals-to-romance novel about pressure, belonging, emotional courage, and the kind of first love that refuses to become smaller than the life waiting beyond high school.
