Corey Carter, reluctant student and new eighth grader at Washington Falls Junior High School, is at the beginning of the new school year. His favourite lesson, English, has a new teacher - the tall, handsome and charismatic Mr. Smith. Mr Smith is smart, funny and likeable. And according to Principal Royston, he's also got the Teacher's Lounge under his spell, as he possesses the "sexiest British accent Washington Falls has ever hear!". The girls in Corey's class are crushing hard on him, and the guys want to be like him. Everyone loves him. Everyone except Corey that is. What is it? Is he just imagining things and disliking a perfectly reasonable guy for no reason? Or... is there more to Mr. Smith than meets the eye?
