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.

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?"

Rivals and Riches
Isabella could feel the weight of Malachai's stare from across the classroom, sharp and unyielding. Every time they crossed paths, it was like a silent challenge hanging in the air-an unspoken battle for dominance. He was everything she wasn't: rich, effortlessly confident, and the top of their class. But she wasn't here to play second fiddle. Every test, every debate, every whispered conversation was a chance to prove she was better. Their rivalry was a game of mental chess, each move calculated, each word laced with tension. There was no room for weakness, not when his eyes watched her like a predator waiting for her to slip. But it wasn't just competition anymore. She could feel it, the electricity between them that had nothing to do with grades and everything to do with something deeper. Something dangerous. Malachai was more than just a rival. And she hated how much that realization messed with her head
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.
