Alex is a sweet, funny, intelligent good girl. She's a geek. She never went to a party in high school. She was always studying so she could get a scholarship to her dream school. Harvard. Her poor family can't afford it on their own. She has to work for it, unlike Sean. His family is so rich he could pay for his tuition without a single student loan. He's the traditional player.
Now halfway through their first semester Sean seeks Alex's help, because she is offering a tutoring service to pay for part of her tuition. She takes one look at Sean and says to herself ," Its going to be hard to get him through his first semester let alone his first year, but hey if he pays me for it might as well give it a shot. Right?"

Sailing through Seattle Grace (Grey's Anatomy) ON HOLD FOR NOW
At twenty, Dr. Brianna Knight has already accomplished what most people never will in a lifetime. Armed with an M.D., Ph.D., and S.J.D. from Harvard Law, Oxford, and Cambridge-graduating at the top of every class-she's now facing her biggest challenge yet: surviving her surgical internship at Seattle Grace Hospital. Behind her impressive credentials lies a secret that could change everything. Brianna isn't just another brilliant intern trying to prove herself in the cutthroat world of surgery. She's hiding her true identity, using her mother's maiden name to conceal the fact that she's an Avery-part of one of medicine's most prestigious families. With her eidetic and photographic memory, Brianna should have every advantage. She graduated high school at fourteen and blazed through college by twenty, following in her parents' academic footsteps. But having perfect recall doesn't prepare you for the emotional toll of saving lives, the politics of hospital hierarchies, or the complicated relationships that form in the pressure cooker of surgical training. As Brianna navigates the demanding world of Seattle Grace alongside her fellow interns, she must balance keeping her family secret while forging genuine friendships-and possibly finding love. But in a hospital where everyone has something to prove and secrets have a way of surfacing, how long can she keep her true identity hidden? Sometimes being a prodigy means more than just having all the right answers-it means learning when to reveal the truth about who you really are.

Angston High
There wasn't really anything all that special about me. I considered myself an average person with average looks. That being said, I also considered myself a very gaunt person. I was sort of a nerd. Not like a big 'ooooh, look at him, with his glasses, pocket protector and retainer', I of course had never worn any of those things. I'm a quiet type of nerd . Quiet, as in my only friends were people who weren't exactly as bad off as me, but you know, they weren't the most popular either. One girl, Jade who I considered to be an overachieving busybody. She was always trying to improve her already perfect average self while meddling in other peoples business. I also had a guy friend named Alex. He was almost like me, which made us the perfect best friend. He was also pretty popular, even though he hung out with me. Neither Jade, nor Alex were terrible to look at. In fact, sometimes I wondered why they weren't even more popular than they were. Jade is a model, tall with long black hair a perfect body and nice sized tits. Alex is perfect. Perfect six pack, perfect biceps, perfect face..... I know what you're probably thinking right now. 'Talking about your best guy friend like that? Are you gay?' Well between me and you, that's something I'd never admit to anyone. Ever.Complete

After Hours
"Cool, lets go!" we jumped off his bed and ran towards his stairway, where he sat on his railing. "What are you doing?" I asked the crazy person. "Being cool," He jested just before he began to slide down his railing like a little kid. I just imagined him with a pair of shades covering his sea blue eyes, and pointing two finger shaped guns my way. Once he got to the bottom he jumped off to the side. "Your turn" He chirped to me. "Um..no I don't think so," "Come on! Don't be such a Debbie downer. I promise I will catch you," "This does not look safe" I pondered, moving slightly toward the railing. "It isn't," I widened my eyes. "Just do it, you will love it trust me," "Ugh, I think your crazy is rubbing off on me," I defeatedly stated. "Then you should be thanking me," That stupid smirk was back, and prominate through his handsome features. "And why is that," I asked quizzically. "Because crazy people live longer. Your welcome," I laughed harder than I should have to this before putting my butt on top of the railing and sliding down. Alex Rider is a spoiled arrogant jerk who is known to show up to school late and never try in class. He parents are finally done with having to pay to get him out of trying in anything.
