Maya, a sarcastic overachiever with a knack for avoiding social drama, and Jake, the class clown who's somehow always in trouble, couldn't be more different. Maya's focus is on her grades and getting into a good college, while Jake's focus is on, well... anything but schoolwork. Despite their polar opposite personalities, they both end up in detention one fateful Friday afternoon for a series of comically absurd misunderstandings involving a misplaced science project and a very angry lunch lady.
Forced to spend the next two hours together, Maya and Jake quickly discover that their initial dislike for each other might be more about misunderstandings than real animosity. Maya's perfectionism meets Jake's carefree attitude, resulting in a hilarious (and surprisingly sweet) series of events where Maya tries to maintain order, and Jake... well, Jake just tries to survive without getting caught making more messes.
Through a series of shared awkward moments, accidental sparks of humor, and an unexpected partnership to solve a weirdly out-of-place mystery involving missing textbooks and a secret teacher's club, the two begin to break down each other's walls. Maya finds herself laughing for the first time in a while, and Jake begins to take life just a little more seriously - at least when Maya's around.
By the end of the year, they're not just sharing detentions - they're sharing the kind of relationship neither of them ever expected. Between cramming for finals, avoiding school drama, and trying to hide their secret late-night study sessions, Maya and Jake realize maybe they're not so different after all.
But, of course, they still have to deal with the most dangerous thing of all: their classmates' suspicions about why the "perfect" student and the "bad boy" are suddenly so chummy.
It's a funny, heartwarming story about love, friendship, and surviving high school... one detention at a time.
