This is the first in a collection of amazing books and I have to say that I love each and every one of them, the way that this book starts the story and then leaves you wanting more is just amazing. I recommend everybody read this and the ones that follow, trust me when I say that you will be gripped from the moment you read the first page...
Alex Heron is in high school and is also a cheerleader, she is really smart and was originally at a private school but after the sudden death of her father she ended up having to move house to a trailer park and ended up being moved into a common high school. No one at her current school knows that she is quite clever as when she does term tests and assignments she doesn't try as hard as she should.
But when her new maths teacher turns round and calls her out with one of her recent tests she tries to hide beneath the shield that she has been hiding in since she started.
Mark Simmons transferred to Alex's high school as they were in need of a new teacher but when he looks through all of Alex classes' recent tests he notices that Alex started to write all the right answers but then she rubbed most of them out and put the wrong answers. He seems really confused by this so he calls her out in their next class and says that he wants a word with her at the end of the day and when she does show up he can see straight away that she is hiding something, but he doesn't exactly try to push for what it is.
Alex notices that Mark can see straight through her and after Mark telling her that because this is her last year before she goes off to college that she needs to up her grades as she is failing one of them. He offers to help her apply for the college that her dad went too but he needs her to be willing to put the work into it.
So when Alex decides that she must give up cheerleading so that she can get all of her grades up, she really is worrying about what everyone will say because she just wants to fit in without anyone finding out about her past. As the extra lessons progress for Alex, her and Mark are starting realise that they are both developing feelings for each other but Mark knows that whilst he is her teacher nothing can become of it.
Will Alex's friends ever find out her secret that she has managed to keep from everyone and will they use it against her or be there for her. And will Mark ever realise that he wants to be with Alex as much as she wants it, but will she ever get into the college that father went too. The only way to find out all of this is to read it. I promise you that you won't regret it.
