Not That Special

Highschool. Her very first year, too. Marietta Glossan (Marie for short) isn't exactly happy about it this year. Her best and only friend just moved away, and clearly, none of the other students wanted to make any effort to talk to her. She's looking forward to the end of the semester year already! But just a few days after school starts, a new kid joins the class. Leroy Barnes. She doesn't think too much of him at first. He was the English teacher's son and rather shy. But something she did find interesting about him? He was a dancer who was apparently fascinated with the fact that she could sing.
Nobody at Rosemont Public School seems to care... Except the Garden Girls. Rose, Daffodil, Blossom, Periwinkle, and Ivy aren't gonna let Leroy forget what they think about his hobby anytime soon. But Leroy isn't the only victim of the Garden Girls, and she isn't any more fond of the Garden Girls than Leroy is. Soon enough, the Christmas talent show comes up, and Leroy and Marie bond over being bullied and are determined to show the Garden Girls what's what. But it's certainly not going to be easy with the whole school watching them. Unfortunately, on top of being bullied by five relentless girls, the whole school is shipping them! Girls and boys that Marie didn't even know existed are asking her when she's gonna ask Leroy out 24/7! Even though both Marie and Leroy are persistent about being friends, they start slowly falling for each other, but it would be disastrous if anyone found out, especially the Garden Girls. Will the talent show go on without a hitch? Will Marie and Leroy remain just friends? Or will they find out that the other is anything but Not That Special after all?
