Todos os capítulos de Dumb Jock? No, He's a Genius: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 10

Everyone at Crestling High had noticed that Harvey Nord, the hopeless romantic, had been acting strangely lately. He used to be all brawn and no brains, spending every day chasing after Taylor Burke.While the other students attended morning study sessions, Harvey would be busy waiting in line to buy breakfast for her. During class, he'd get into fights with other guys over her, and while everyone else worked through practice problems, he'd spend his time writing love songs for her.But lately, he hadn't been seen anywhere near the honors classroom where Taylor studied. Instead, he'd been spending all his time in the library, arriving first thing in the morning and staying until everyone else had left.On the day the college entrance exam finally came to an end, Harvey happened to run into Taylor. He froze for a moment before turning to leave, but she stepped in front of him, blocking his way."Harvey." The setting sun bathed her delicate features in a warm glow, but her expression

Harvey froze as the realization hit him.Taylor thought he'd known all along that she would give him her school badge. She assumed he'd deliberately made the bet with Jacob just to humiliate him."I didn't." He started to explain, but as soon as the words left his mouth, something suddenly occurred to him.Why would Taylor believe him over Jacob? Why would she ever doubt Jacob?After a moment's thought, he simply opened his palm and held the badge out to her."If you don't believe me, you can have it back."Taylor froze, barely able to believe what she'd just heard."What did you say?"She still remembered how Harvey had reacted when she'd first agreed to give him her school badge. He'd jumped to his feet so excitedly that his aching muscles had made him wince, but that hadn't stopped him from grinning as he shouted, "Taylor, I'm finally one step closer to winning your heart!" And now, he was willing to give the badge back just like that?For a moment, Taylor's mind went c

When Harvey regained consciousness, he found himself in the hospital emergency room.The curtain beside his bed was drawn, but he could still hear Jacob's irritated voice from the other side."Taylor, have you lost your mind? You nearly got yourself killed trying to save Harvey! Do you realize how close you came to being hit by that truck?"Several other classmates quickly chimed in."Exactly, Taylor! Don't tell me you've fallen for Harvey. Why else would you risk your own life to save him?"A brief silence followed before Taylor's cool voice broke through."You're reading too much into it. I only saved Harvey because we pulled that prank on him with the school badge before, and today we misunderstood him again. I was worried he'd hold a grudge and find some other way to sabotage Jacob's admission to Curwell University."After a long pause, Jacob finally asked in a subdued voice, "Is that really all there is to it?""What else could it be?" Taylor replied impatiently. "Do you h

Without hesitation, Taylor downed the entire glass in one gulp before placing a glass of water in front of Harvey."Drink this instead."With those cold words, she turned and returned to her seat.Barry immediately hurried over, leaning close to whisper excitedly, "What the hell just happened? How did Taylor know you're allergic to alcohol? Even I didn't know that!" Harvey stared blankly ahead, his thoughts drifting back to the time he'd first fallen for Taylor. Back then, afraid she might genuinely mistake him for some chain-smoking, hard-drinking troublemaker, he'd gone out of his way to find her in the library just to set the record straight."Taylor, listen. I know I might look like that kind of guy, but I don't smoke or drink. In fact, I'm severely allergic to alcohol. I can't drink any of it!" He could still picture her beautiful profile in the sunlight, her expression cool and focused as she listened to him.At the time, he'd assumed she hadn't been paying attention at

"Harvey had been pretending to be an average student because of some family issues."Family issues?Jacob's face suddenly went even paler.Michael said icily, "Whatever it is, there's nothing fishy about Harvey's scores. I don't ever want to hear any of those rumors again!"With that, Michael turned and walked away. The students all burst into an uproar."Damn! So, Harvey really wasn't joking when he said he didn't know his own scores last night? They really locked his scores?""That's right. Some people even made fun of Harvey yesterday. Who knew he'd turn out to be the top student in the state? Bet they feel really dumb now!"The people who had mocked Harvey yesterday instantly turned pale. They kept their heads down, unable to face anyone.Jacob's expression darkened further. All he could do was put on a resigned look and say, "I can't believe Harvey kept something like this from us for so long. He's full of surprises, isn't he, Taylor?"As he looked up, he realized Taylor
