From fiery dislike to subtle moments of affection?

In the trending series “Senior High,” Roxy (Xyriel Manabat) and Archie (Elijah Canlas) are found sparring on campus all the time. But there’s something so endearing about two people with electrifying chemistry often caught up in adorable ‘bangayan.’

They may be quarrelling a lot due to their opposite personalities, as she is the class’ bubbly girl while he is the campus’ bad boy, and they belong to rival cliques, but this only adds more kilig to their scenes. And now that Roxy and Tim (Zaijin Jaranilla) have called it quits, viewers are thrilled with the possibility of Roxy finding new love with Archie.

Get ready to feel the butterflies by watching them bicker like cat and dog in these scenes from Senior High collated by Kapamilya Toplist.

That collaboration project sure brought excitement, and conflict, to Northford High’s senior class due to the unexpected pairings. Roxy’s protest didn’t work, so she was stuck with Archie. While Archie was so used to bossing around, he found his equal match in the small but terrible Roxy, who wasn't scared to slap his mediocre ideas. Roxy cracked us up when she reacted to his poor suggestions, “Palibhasa puro pera ‘yang pinapagana mo, eh. Hindi paganahin ang utak kung meron.” That was the first time we actually saw Archie stunned and powerless.

In the next scene, she fell asleep on a couch inside the campus when the nightmare himself, Archie, woke her up. “Pwede ba sa bangungot ka na lang bumisita, huwag na sa real life?” she snarled at him.

We’re amused by the fact that only she can rebut the young Aguerro in a feisty way. One time, when he found Roxy and Tim’s exchange of “I love you” too gross, she said that he’s just envious because nobody shows him that kind of affection. Then he ordered her to clean his car as what was agreed upon during their mediation after a conflict. She obliged but not without the hilarious ‘hirits’ like, “Lilinisin ko kotse mo, mas malinis pa sa konsensya mo.” She pretended to be talking to the heavens, “Ang aga-aga maligno kaharap.” He looked back, “I heard that,” to which she wittily replied, “Eh, ‘di good job! Gusto mo lakasan ko pa?”

There must be something different with the winds at Northford High when Archie, much to Roxy’s surprise, fought with the perverted students who were bullying her. Sky (Andrea Brillantes) entered the scene and even she was surprised that Archie acted as Roxy’s knight in shining armor. In her usual humor, Roxy chalked it up with “sanib” and noted that the whole hullaballoo might be scripted.

At Sanya (Gela Atayde)’s birthday party, Archie noticed that Roxy was getting upset as Tim hadn’t been updating her. He teased her, saying that her boyfriend might be cheating. Her response? “Mayaman ka ‘di ba? Bili ka kausap mo.” Viewers probably shrieked in kilig when the strap of Roxy’s top slipped off, then Archie slowly pulled it back up, saying that he thought her items are "rampa-proof" and "hubadera-proof." Roxy was surprised as only customers in her live-selling hear her say such phrases, which made her think of her mystery customer who goes by the username Dark Gray.

The two shared another round of bickering in front of their classmates when Archie said that he can buy anything, even Roxy’s loyalty.  But she made sure to have the last say in this cute argument. “Alam mo, imbes na ipambili mo yan ng loyalty ko, bakit kaya hindi mo i-invest sa pagpapa-boost ng brain cells o kaya neurons? I think need mo ‘yun, eh, like sobra,” she retorted, proving once again that she’s the only person who can keep him silent and kill his angst.

In a recent episode, in the aftermath of Roxy’s breakup with Tim, she was surprised when Archie mellowed down his arrogance. She accidentally spilled hot coffee on his arm when they bumped into each other. She then brought him to the campus clinic and, scared and apologetic, asked if she’d be punished for the accident. But instead of giving her the usual no-mercy consequence, Archie simply asked for another coffee. He wanted it black. “Like your soul?” she wittily replied before walking out of the clinic with an irresistibly adorable flair.
