Dorky bookaholic Veena Pillai gets assigned to Damien Beckett - the popular golden boy who is practically worshipped by everyone at school for playing basketball - for a health project involving a baby doll that cries at random hours. This wouldn't be a problem, because it was the dream of every girl at her school. SPENDING TIME WITH DAMIEN. Except Veena Pillai can't talk. The moment she opens her mouth to strangers, it's a long breathless fast mess that not even her parents can figure out. Damien is the star of a room-talkative, magnetic, and absolutely charming. But to Veena he's a menace-who's determined to get under her skin when all she wants is to avoid him. The more time Veena spends with him, the more she realizes that he's not what he seems like.
