Azalia Chase and her twin Alexander move from the town they've lived in all their life to attend Blake Preparatory Boarding School. Of course she's not happy about moving, and she's also not happy about moving to a school where this one arrogant guy won't stop bothering her. And that guy happened to be the one and only Noah Matthews. When he takes a sudden interest in her, Azalia knows that she's in for quite of a ride. Noah Matthews is the bad boy at Blake Prep and is also their star quarterback. What a twist right? He just can't take the title of one or the other and manages to be both. And getting Azalia through a lot of her "firsts" proves to be quite difficult, which quite frankly makes him want to strangle her. The thing is, at the same time, she's something he just can't get enough of. She was hoping to find a way to survive moving to a new place, get through the year being somewhat unnoticed, and get her rightful spot as valedictorian. But through pranks, trying new things, unexpected problems, and even smurfs, her whole world is turned upside-down. But there is a first time for everything. She just has to remember that.
