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.

That day, Ivy and Lyle played with the kids the whole time until Mrs Wilson called them back for an early dinner after which they had to go back.


''I called a cab and it should be reaching here anytime now. Let's go.'' Lyle said as he helped Ivy puck up the jacket she had taken off while playing.


''Are you leaving already? Stay a while more.'' 


Seeing the kids whine, Ivy squated down to their level and said, ''We have to go to school tomorrow so we have to leave. I'll come next time alright?''


''Come back soon.'' The kids chorused as they enveloped her in a group hug.


''And you too.'' The kids pulled Lyle as well.


''You seem to be a little more attached with Azu.'' 


Lyle and Ivy were in the cab on their way towards the restaurant their families were at.


''That's a modest way to put it.'' Ivy smiled when she heard how Lyle put his words afterall, no matter what they were doing, she had Azu in her arms or sight all the time. ''Well, that's because when I first met her, she was just a little over six months. Infact, the director had found her outside that very day and everyone was having a tough time calming her down. They were short on hands and so I was the timely savior. That's why I took care of Azu and it was also me who named her. So we started to get attached with eachother.''


''Oh... So that's how.'' Lyle showed a look of understanding but what Ivy had said was just a tip of the iceberg.


For Azu, she had to stay at the orphanage for a couple of weeks as well because Azu didn't let anyone close to her other than Ivy. It seemed as if the child was scared of strangers. As soon as someone tried to touch her, she would burst out crying. 


On the first day, Ivy had left the orphanage after she had made sure that Azu was sleeping. Who knew she got a call in to middle of the night from the Director asking her to come to the orphanage as soon as she can because Azu had woken up at night crying. But that wasn't all because when one of the workers tried to calm her down, the situation turned for worst as Azu cried even harder to the point of working up a fever.


That night Ivy had woken her dad to get him to drop her off at the orphanage. Ofcourse after hearing her reason, Mr and Mrs Gracia both went  along because Mrs Gracia was also equally worried about the child and wanted to help.


When they finally reached the orphanage, they found that Azu was shifted to the director's office because they didn't want her to disturb the other children.


After taking care of her for the whole night, Azu's fever finally stopped at dawn. But after that day, she settled in the orphanage to take care of Azu until she could let others touch her and take care of her.
