   Summary

   (Here's my attempt at reviving this ship because AO3 (and I) need more GN8)

   Gina, a smart, talented (and overly obnoxious) student who never gave Nate, an annoying, Cheez Doodle-obsessed, show-off cartoonist, a chance at anything. With teachers at PS.38 teaming up to help the two get along, and a horrible breakup between Gina and Randy, it seems there's no other choice than to just stick together and pray no one finds them bonding.

   But will this rivalry change into friendship and turn out the way everyone—everyone except Nate and Gina—wants?

   We could only hope for the best.
