In the bustling hallways of Northwood High, where cliques reign supreme, Dakota Evans and Aaron Ford are worlds apart. Dakota is the quintessential nerd, buried in books and oblivious to the social dynamics that govern the school. Aaron is the star basketball player, adored by his peers and seemingly untouchable.
Their paths rarely cross, and when they do, it is usually in the form of thinly veiled disdain. Dakota sees Aaron as the epitome of everything she despises: arrogant, shallow, and uninterested in anything beyond his own popularity. Aaron sees Dakota as a brainiac with no sense of style or fun.
But beneath their carefully constructed facades, Dakota and Aaron are more alike than they realize. Both are outsiders in their own way, struggling to find their place in a world that doesn’t seem to understand them.
As fate would have it, Dakota and Aaron are forced to work together on a school project. Initially, their interactions are filled with tension and resentment. But as they spend more time together, they begin to see each other in a new light.
Dakota discovers that Aaron is not the jock stereotype she had always assumed him to be. He is intelligent, thoughtful, and surprisingly kind. Aaron finds himself drawn to Dakota’s wit, intelligence, and unwavering determination.
As their friendship deepens, so do their feelings for each other. But their budding romance is threatened by the disapproval of their peers. Dakota’s friends warn her that Aaron is only interested in her because of a bet. Aaron’s teammates pressure him to stay away from the nerdy girl who is dragging down his reputation.
Torn between their feelings for each other and the expectations of those around them, Dakota and Aaron must decide whether to risk everything for love.
