Hippi's Crush

I’m Hippi--named after Hippocrates, the ancient physician. That gives you an idea of what expectations my parents have of me.

I lead a double life.

Secretly, I’m a genius and one of six kids invited to participate on the school’s elite science project. But everyone knows me as the cheerleading captain and the most popular girl in school.

Yeah, I can have any guy I want, but the one I have a crush on is Ash, the captain of the science project. You know what that means. It’s totally not cool for the cheerleader to go after the science geek. It’s getting harder to keep him a secret and he doesn’t like it.

As if trying to lead this double life isn’t hard enough, someone’s started playing games with my head. I don’t know who it is; I’m feeling paranoid about who I can trust.

My perfect, popular world is starting to crumble, as well as my chance to be on the science team. What have I done for someone to try to destroy my life?

It’s going to take me overcoming my fears to solve the mystery. I wish I could just run away and hide in Ash’s arms and his kiss.
