Summary:

Emma and Regina have known each other their whole lives and they hate each other. They became co-presidents for the debate club, the horror! They're always arguing, competing, and "may-the-best-woman-win." When they'd been both disqualified in the State Debate Championship Solo Round, everyone encouraged them to team up and win the State Debate Championship Team Round. They agreed because they need to have an achievement to put at their College Application. It was hard, to say the least. Along the way, they bonded, but NOT friends, they'd insist to be colleagues. Til one night, they had their first kiss. For them who claimed Love is a Waste of Time, they denied their feelings. Still, their relationship continued to grow and they can't deny themselves anymore. They wasted their time.
