WORST-CASE SCENARIO

From arch nemeses to co-presidentswhat could possibly go wrong?

Sidney has one goal for their junior year. Well... two, if they're being honest. Number one: Become president of their school's Queer Alliance. And number two: Keep their self-diagnosed anxiety in check so their grades don't tank like they did last year. But when the election results in a tie with none other than Sidney's arch nemesis, the class clown Forrest, the two are forced to share the presidency until a re-vote at the end of term. Sidney expects Forrest to be insufferable, but it turns out that working together is ... kind of nice?

As surprising feelings for Forrest emerge, Sidney's techniques for managing their anxiety stop working. With the re-election approaching and assignments starting to pile up, will all this pressure be too much for Sidney to handle on their own?
