[The first book of "The Nerd Is A... " Series]
Loran "Loey" Millennium is the only male out of 5 siblings in the Millennium family to take over his father's place as a Mafia Boss. Even though Loey is the youngest child, most people would think he probably act like an immature child but he's quite the opposite actually.
He took over his father's place willingly and worked professionally, meeting all expectations his family stored for him despite his young age. He can be quite childish whenever he likes. You would probably thought his family is like the other strict mafia families but no, the Millennium is quite a loving family.
Loey still had to finish highschool as a senior, luckily his last year of being called 'the nerd'. Why? Because of his petite looking body making him incredibly fragile to public's eyes and adding his short height, which is 5"6.
Thus his features are more to the cute side than handsome with his blonde hair, unique green eyes, cute nose and soft plump lips. And he wears fake glasses too, to cover up a bit in case anyone from other mafia would recognise him.
Well of course he has been harassed time to time, sexually or not, he'll cleverly finds his way out without fighting. But only one person would make him fight to at least fend himself and that would be Luke Morgane.
Luke is 'the jock' of the school, obviously. With his toned figure and 6"5 as his height plus his jet black hair and grey eyes. Anyone would've guessed him as the dark, mysterious boy adored by most girls.
You can say Luke kinda 'bullies' Loey. They are constantly on each other's neck out of hatred. But even one mistake could change everything, right?
So... the question is; "Will it change for the better or the worse?"
Ella is falling apart trying to live a "perfect" high school life. Then she meets Ren, who can see past her scars. Suddenly perfection isn't her only option.
