Hear me out.

Kind of the prompt, but a story idea rather than an actual writing.

*taken from texts to my best friend after I came up with the idea*

So basically it’s an enemies to lovers kinda thing but not. The two characters are competing for valedictorian at their boarding school, but like the guy wants it to prove he’s not just a dumb bad boy, and the girl wants it to have something to be acknowledged for. But the girl has an illness, a fictional illness, but an illness nonetheless. The girl has these little fading phases where she literally fades from reality, most of the time just for a second. But she’s told she’s going to disappear the day after graduation. And the enemies-to-lovers thingy is basically, she has astraphobia, he hates seeing people upset, but a storm breaks out at an event, right. And she freaks out and has an anxiety attack. And he comforts her and they like get closer. And then they talk about their reasons for wanting to be valedictorian, Callum (the guy) willingly tells her because he saw her vulnerable and wanted to pay her back for it. But Trinity (the girl) struggles to tell him that she wants it because she won’t be alive much longer than that. Callum edges away from the topic, a bit frustrated that Trinity won’t tell him why. And he kinda likes her but like he won’t tell her because she doesn’t trust him enough to tell him her motives for valedictorian. Another storm happens, she blows up on him, they break apart. They talk again at graduation. Just as he realizes he won’t see her longer than a day.

It’s a sad story, but like, I’m kind of like really excited to write it.
