Justina Faye Parker has a solid plan for high school: slay at cheer dance, ace her sports articles, and stay far, far away from unnecessary drama-especially the kind that comes with six-foot boys and smug smiles.
But that plan goes out the window the moment Jace Duke Archer-a.k.a. Jelly-Ace (don't ask)-waltzes back into her life, basketball in hand and ego fully charged.
He's the campus heartthrob, star player, and the human version of a group project: somehow attractive, mildly chaotic, and guaranteed to stress her out. She's the determined newbie who just wants to do her job without flashbacks of that one embarrassing childhood moment he refuses to let her live down.
Between cheer stunts, game-day coverage, and Jelly-Ace's nonstop flirting, Justina might just discover that the real high school workout is... avoiding feelings.
