Lauren Jeginnings-better known as "Miss Educated"-is the kind of girl people notice before she ever speaks.
She's smart. Poised. A little intimidating. But beneath the sharp mind and quiet confidence is a sweetness that disarms you the longer you stay. Her presence lights up rooms, and the boys?
They love that about her.
Lauren loves something else just as much-
That no man who's tried to date her has ever really succeeded.
Until James Earl arrives.
Suddenly, Sidney Thomas High has two versions of the same equation:
The familiar creative nerd-brilliant, comfortable, predictable.
And the new kid-athletic, creative, quietly consistent in ways that feel different. Dangerous, even.
Two minds. Two energies. One girl who never planned on choosing.
What begins as curiosity turns into tension, connection, and a challenge Lauren didn't see coming-because this time, the rules she's always mastered don't apply.
So the question becomes...
Who will fall first?
And how much are you willing to bet on love when the smartest girl in the room finally risks her heart?
