Despite having the most unfortunate nickname Lincoln High has ever seen, Gum McFadden is perfectly happy being a self-proclaimed art geek. Or, at least, she was. That was before arrogant, frustratingly cliche Miles Walker, one of the most popular guys in school, ruined the art show with half a dozen cans of spray paint. As his punishment, Miles has to join the Lincoln High Artist's Guild or face repeating junior year- or even expulsion. Gum immediately hates Miles, and Miles immediately hates Art Club and its members. Can the two extremes- art geek and football star- make it through the semester without ripping each other's throats out... or falling for each other? ***It starts out pretty cliche, but don't worry, it'll get better!***
