Meet Alyssa Bent, she's a nerd. But not your typical one. She likes to read, but her world doesn't totally revolve around books. She's not shy nor does she stutter when someone tries to corner her. She can stand up to anyone provided it doesn't involve attention. Attention is the only thing that scares her, and like always, there's a reason behind it. Maintaining a balance of grades and producing comebacks with sarcasm dripping from each word isn't the only talent she possesses. Enter Aaron Pelt, the most popular boy at Gradient High. Girls fawn over him. Well, who wouldn't? He's the star soccer player, after all. With the looks no less than a model, he has no problem maintaining his status on the social ladder. He maintains a cool aura around him all the time. They both go to Gradient High, a school that is divided into two social groups: the popular ones and the nerds. The popular ones are the wealthy snobs and the nerds are the ones who practically are their slaves. At Gradient High, these two groups can never get along! Like Ever! But who knew that the most popular guy and the nerd would actually be best friends? That's right! Alyssa and Aaron have been best friends since their diaper days. But at school, they are forced not to acknowledge each other's presence because if they did, Aaron's reputation might suffer and Alyssa may be subjected to something she hates the most: attention. While Aaron may not know, the reason why Alyssa hates attention might be even more than she lets him believe. A reason that might even force her to throw away her future dream. So will Aaron be able to break through the walls and push her out even when he has the pressure of popularity and the school status weighing him down? Get ready to expect the unexpected. You might want to change your definition of clichè after reading...... #1 Humour- 08.01.16 (Cover by: -infinities) *NOT EDITED SO KINDLY BEAR WITH ME!

❝ You demonstrated to me why hurricanes were named after people. ❞ Cassidy Winters has always perceived life as a game to be played. She's witnessed the brutal end of what the prospect of power can push people to do. Thus, a human experiment sneaks it way into place to finally solve and isolate the final variable on why the social hierarchy existed. A new school, a completely unknown town, and a fresh system to study. But the only way to find out what the true capabilities of the students on the top of the pyramid can sincerely do is by infiltrating one of the lowest bases, the nerds. It's quite unfortunate for her that a perceptive basketball player keeps managing to repeatedly fumble his way into her line of research. Another lamentable factor about him includes his intangible status in the social pyramid. Needless to say, she really ought to stay away from him, but somehow, fate's never on her side.
