Lyle Wilson is a 17 year old student at West High. With his God like looks coupled with that brilliant brain of his, he is considered as the hunk of West High. As a typical hunk, he is the best at everything he does, with girls flocking around him, waiting to be noticed. But the one who really captures his eyes are those eyes behind that gold rimmed glasses, that girl behind those oversized clothes.

Ivy Gracia is a 17 year old student at West High. She is the type who would put her everything into studying but unlike what's expected, she isn't the topper of her class. Infact, she ranks just above average no matter how hard she tries. But, she isn't the hated nerd. She is liked for her simplicity, just like she wanted. 
She doesn't talk back. She doesn't fight. She doesn't drink or use substance. All her works are submitted on time. She doesn't bunk and has her attendance as a hundred percent. And she doesn't even use dirty slangs. She is that really simple girl. She is as her classmates quote, 'the simple girl from the book.' She is just too simple to be true.



But that isn't the case for everyone. While Ivy tries her best to hide the wildness behind that pair of glasses and oversized clothes, Lyle just seems to see through her.

Why doesn't he let her end her highschool like she wants to? He didn't notice last year when she came, so what exactly went wrong this time?

Now who can tell her that Lyle had actually seen the 'real' her behind that seemingly 'simple' her?


Will Lyle be able to find the reason she is acting in this manner and bring her back to her old self, the free and happy one? Read on to find out.



THE PICTURE IN THE COVEE DOESNT BELONG TO ME. I TOOK IT FROM THE INTERNET. CTTO.

Don't beleive the appearance

That whole night, Lyle tossed and turned but was unable to fall asleep.


Ivy's words came to his mind and everything he could see when he closed his eyes was her.


She looked as if she had been hurt badly before. As if she didn't want it to happen again. Her words hit a different cord in his heart. 


As soon as those words rang in his head, he sat up straight in his bed. Damn he actually said that. He called Ivy, Mommy and himself, Daddy to the pups. Luckily he didn't say it loudly and just whispered it in their ears and she didn't hear it or else, how was he supposed to face her tomorrow. Unknown to him, it wasn't tomorrow anymore. The clock had already struck 1 a.m.  


On the other side, Ivy wasn't facing much luck with sleep either. Lyle's words rang in her ears constantly making her face heat up.


'What's wrong with you Ivy. It's not the first time someone has said something nice to you. So what are you getting all worked up for. Just go to sleep.'


The next day, Lyle got up early and left for school early. But he didn't enter the school and instead stood by the gate. 


Students started to come in ones and twos until many started to flood in. When it was almost time for the gate to close, Ivy arrived, running.


''Hah... Save.'' Ivy muttered as she successfully passed through the gate before it closed. 


''That was a close one.'' Lyle said from behind as he watched her take a break freaking her out.


''Can you atleast make some noise when you walk? It feels like a ghost has walked up to me everytime you come. Or are you trying to kill me by making me have a heart attack?'' Ivy was patting her chest in an attempt to calm her heart.


''What nonsense are you spouting early in the morning? Instead of thanking me for waiting here for almost an hour, you-"


"Did I ask you to wait? Why were you even waiting? And you want me to thank you. Tsk...''


''You said the only problem was keeping up with your grades so I thought why not I help you.''


''You can, but the best one is still me.''


''Atleast you understood.'' Lyle gave a disgusted look before he started walking away.


''Hey you really are the best one around? Like seriously? You are the topper?''


And so, two people walked to their class with two different attitude. One seemed hyperactive and asked questions full of disbelief while the dither couldn't be bothered to answer. The pair seemed weird yet at the same time seemed to complement eachother greatly.


9. You are the topper?
