Identical. that's what they are.

They have the exact similar physical features and appearance in which results to people having the difficulty to tell them apart.

However, they are still polar opposites from each other.

James Clark Reid is the careless, party animal and popular football jock who secretly smokes in the parking lot of the school.  He usually get wasted and drunk whenever he parties and if there was an attendance on parties, he is a perfect attendee.

Known for his notorious background, he is also the star player of the Stanford's football team. The coach's personal favorite, because he was that good.

On the other side of the spectrum, there's Robert Sebastian — the lonesome wolf who is too engrossed with his academics and books. His black-time new roman glasses is almost bigger than his frame which always falls whenever he bends his bend (complains about it A LOT though not too bothered and busy either reading and studying to go to a mall and buy a new pair).

Too focused on his academics that he is could almost  marry to the library — his favorite place in the world. Well, he needed to maintain the valedictorian image too.

They were identical, yes, but they far different from one another.

James and Robert not in the slightest get along.

Inside and outside of school.

Robert complains that James' group of friends are bullies and which James would always defend them, saying that they are just "messing" around and Robert needs to loosen up and take a joke.

James loathe Robert's friend well minus Nadine who is Robert's best friend since the 6th grade, there is Matthew who is as uptight as his younger brother and keep on nagging, because of the research paper that they unsuccessfully turned in because of his bad habits of partying.

"I honestly couldn't comprehend what you see in my brother, Naddie," Robert says one day while they are waiting sitting on the bench with this big oak gree providing them the perfect shade in a sunny morning, shaking his head in disapproval.

Nadine playfully rolls her eyes at Robert, a soft chuckle coming out from her mouth, "He is not that bad,"

"Seriously? How can you still say that after everything he put you through? He cancelled your date the last minute, because of his late football practice. Don't even get me started on how he almost forgot your birthday." Robert groans

"As his brother, you should know how this varsity scholarship means to him. He needs to exert a lot of effort in his games, so he can join the league team in NYU," She explains

Robert scoffs, "I'm betting all of my inheritance that he can surely go to NYU if he focuses on his academics than football!"

Nadine only rolls her eyes in response.

"Have you noticed that he has been busy lately even there is no football practice? Now that's strange,"

Nadine shrug at the thought, "Of course I have noticed, it's not like I'm oblivious or dumb. Alam ko naman eh pero pa naman ba magagawa ako? I don't want to be that kind of girlfriend who whines and demands attention from him. I know how important this NYU League scholarship to him and I really want him to be on it, so I would just let him be,"
