"Dude, chill out. It was just a party. You'll probably just throw another one anyway."
"Yeah, you're right, but nobody ends my parties except for me. You've crossed a line new girl, you'll regret it."
"Wow, you've stooped as low as to call me new girl when you know my name. Sorry Mister Rodrigo, but you don't scare me."
Fitz looks like he's near exploding due to all of the anger, and just to push him over the edge I repeat the words he said to me in the hall yesterday, "Are you mad? Good, I like watching you crawl with rage."

Popularity, rudeness, and loudness don't mix well when it comes to high school boys. So, imagine the luck of the new neighbors of Fitz Rodrigo; the epitome of the perfect mix of a no good high schooler.
Shy, friendly, and quiet, the exact opposite of Fitz, describes the unlucky new neighbor, Victoria. So, what happens when you mix a party, a hard-working girl, and an obnoxious boy?
❝ I should've listened to my heart. No matter how hard I've tried to push you away, everything leads back to you. My thoughts, the way my heart flutters rapidly and the emotions I feel when you're around. Everything. What I'm trying to say is...I choose you. ❞

On one of the last nights of summer break, Sophie is forced to go to a high school party by Bree. She thinks this is just another one of many awful high school parties that's hosted by one of the football jocks at her school, but this party doesn't turn out to be "another typical high school party."
While at the party, she catches the eyes of Andrew Dalton, the high school quarterback and most notorious player. Andrew, who's never lost, is dared to make Sophie fall in love with him, but there's one problem. Sophie has promised herself that she will never date any of the guys at Oakleaf High because they all have arrogant personalities that she just can't handle.

Will Sophie be able to keep the promise she made to herself? Or will she fall for the player's charms?
