It's senior year at Cascade High. Haley Elizabeth Finch, a Goth working at a garage, who is also a ballroom dancer (I couldn't resist!), and Skyler Ryan Hale, a bad boy with too much time and batteries on his hands (and possibly too much duct tape and WAY too many power tools) in the garage who is also a ballroom dancer (once again, I couldn't resist!), ironically, for the same studio as Haley, in the same dance class, absolutely hate each other. As fate would have it in the most cliche way, they are partners for a science project. They have to go to each others' houses to work on the project, but they're constantly finding excuses to not meet at each others' houses, most of which are valid. Also, they talk about the science project in dance class a lot. Two months in, they're pretty good friends, but during the third month, Haley is starting to fall for Skyler. Skyler feels the same way too, so he asks her out on a date and she says yes. They go on a date, and you can figure out the rest. No, I will not write anything dirty, so don't suggest it.
