They say opposites attract, but who really believes that? After all, it would seem more likely that like attracts like, right?
Derek Matthews is your stereotypical jock; handsome, popular, and wanted. He doesn't want a girlfriend - especially not an unpopular one; he has a reputation to uphold after all, and unpopular girls are boring losers, right? That's what he believes, anyway. When he meets Layla Marks, however, his view on life starts to change a little at a time. Though he tries, he can't seem to get her off of his mind. How long can he resist the unmistakable pull towards her?
Layla Marks does not like jocks; end of story. Her firm opinion is that they are stuck-up and obnoxious, and all of them are tools. After she goes to her first party, her opinion shifts ever so slightly, sparking a change in the way she sees others - specifically the popular crowd. After she makes a startling discovery, she tries as hard as she possibly can to ignore the electricity crackling between herself and one Derek Matthews.
Only partially cliche, this story will have every romantic 'aww-ing' at this jerk-turned-handsome-knight, and the budding romance between the unlikeliest of people as together they face the twists, turns and spirals life throws at them.
